one Of the favorfte madenrres Of the


one of the favorite madeuTres of the
Democrats has long been the misrepresen-
tation ofthe sentiments of their opponents.
They have tried throughout this campaign
to show that the Republican party were
intending, if victorious, to interfere with
slavery in the States, though it is impossi-
bic for men to repndiate the idea more
clearly and unequiyocally than the Re
publican Convention at Chicago did
Some of them have endeayored to prove,
orrather have asserted-for it was useless
to endeavor to prove it-that Lincoln is an
abolitiOnist, and meaning by the assertion
that he would, if elected, employ his pow
er to infringe upon the lawful rights of
Shareholders OF course that was all utter
nonsense, and Mr. Lincoln's record was SO
clear on this very subject that the people
could not be humbugged. Five States
have recently given the Democrats their
opinion of Mr. Lincoln.
But there is a certain interest in seeing
how these Democrats who now profess to
have such,a sacred regard for Henry Clay,
and such holy horror of Abraham Lin
coin, who agrees SO nearly in his senti-
mepts upon most subjects with the great
Kentuckian, formerly treated Clay. They
charged him, even more violently than
they accuse Lincoln, of being the tool of
abolitionists, and of intending to plunge
the south into civil and servile war
The following extract is from Louisiana
electioneering document of 1874:
'1f Mr. Clay IL elected, we can fold our
arms and say all is lost, all is gone, ire
trievably gone. a few facts submitted TO
the people would prove this. Let them
bear in mind that Mr. Clay is the great
friend and defender of England, and of
English hellish designs. England has
proclaimed to the world ner positive
and settled determination never to rest
satisfied, cost what it may, until she should
have liberated the very last of our slaves.
In accordance with this intention, she has
I brought ruin, death, and desolation on the
West Indies; she has been the cause of
oceans of blood being shed. Now, how is
she endeavoring to reach her aim on our
| southern institutions? In various and
many ways. Among us she has for her
allies the abolitionists of the north, and
the opponents of the Texas treaty of an
ne1ation, Mr.. Clay at their head"
That is the Mr.. Clay to whom Mr.. Doug
las has said that "he looked up to as son
to father"

SOLE da4s 40 &c announeed thas


SoME days ago ne announced thai
Messrs. Brown / Taggard, of Boston. tho
noted publishers, were getting out sPlen-
did set of tho works of Lord Bacon-dif-
ferent in style, and more copious, elabor-
ate and scholastic than any editions
hitherto published. We have received the
FIRST specimen, being Vol. lst, of Lord
Bacon's Literary and Professional Works.
1t is not the first volume of his works
that is, of his varied writings-but only of
his literary contributions. In the absence
of an opportunity for an extended exami-
nation of the plan of the edition and the
general style and scope of the volume just
issued, we substitute, for any remarks of
our own, the following extract from long
article in the Boston TFGueler:
This edition of Bacon's Works is, as we
have said, the only perfect one that has
ever been prepared for the reading world.
Nothing has been omitted that is necessary
to render it worthy of the time, of the pub
lie, and of the memory of Francis Bacon.
All the Latin works are translated by
competent scholars, while the Latin will
also be printed for the benefit of the un-
commonly select few who are able to read
itwith ease. Leaving professional scholars
aside,-men whose business it is to know
Latin well, just as tits the business bf the
cobbler to be skilful with his last and his
awl, or Re will soon starve,-:here are
probably not thousand men in the whole
| Union who could read Bacon's Latin with
the readiness that is necessary for the thor
ough enjoyment of works of genius. True
our colleges annually turn out thousands
of young men who have fair knowledge
of the imperial tongue of Rome, AID who
have not thrown away their time in ac-
/ Quiring that knowledgel bnt before seven
years elapse they know little more of it
| than enables them to get through classic
or two with the aid of those excellent
| Le1iCons that are now SO common, but the
existence of which is by no means promo
| tive of accurate learning among the mass
4 of students. There must, then, be trans
lations, not only of the Latin classics. but
also of those works which were written in
Latin in those times when that language
| was the common medium of the learned
world. There has been nothing more
beautiful ever printed than the volume of
| Bacon, which is an exact specimen of the
whole work and it is afforded at price
which enables all men to purchaseit. The
publishers deserve the warmest thanks of
the reading public for the plan they have
formed for placing Bacon's Works within
the reach of the masses of mankind, and
the printers have proved that they are
masters of their calling in executing their
work SO we'll.

The result of the Pennsylvania election
shows the value of faithful and systematic
canvassiug. The victory was not won
without severe and wisely-directed labor.
Our friends deserve all credit for the 6del-
ity with which they did their work. They
told us all the time what they meant to do.
Thar aasnred- ma TINT than ahnrld- not GA.,l.,
some majority. Just so will work be ef-
fective here in our own city, county and
State. The hearts, sympathies and pray
ers of the people are with US. Hundreds
upon hundreds in the interior, who dare
not vote with US, are ready to send their
congratulations, their hearty we'll wishes,
and if needs be, their "material aid J" to
help US of the glorious free Panhandle,
who are privileged to speak aud vote as
We please. The moro votes we poll fol-
Lincoln and Hamlin here in Wheeling.
and in the counties of the Panhandle, the
more will our friends be strengthened in
the interior and their enemies dismayed.
To sec some of the letters we get is
enough to make mans heart grow sick
within him. To see freemen, SO called.
hsseeching US to burn their letters as soon
Is read, and not let their names be known,
for fear of injury to their persons or pro-
perry at home, is humiliating, indeed
Yet this is the case even here in Western
Virginia. We get letters almost every
week, assuring US of the deep sympathy of
tho writer's with the Republicans, earnest
y expressing the hope of the election of
Lincoln and HamIin, and yet containing
the cautious injunction not to let the name
Of the writers be known, if we should sec
ut to publish any part of the letters. Isn't
state of society like that under which
these writer's live, choice one to extend
into our territories1 Wouldn't it be a good
idea to give up all our unoccupied domain
to such an Austrian despotism z
Again, then, we say that our duty in this
city, in this county, and in all the Pan
handle, is just to poll as many votes for
Lincoln as We honestly can. We helm
our less fortunate brethren down in the
lower counties in SO doing, and break
down the despotism and terrorism that
Keeps them from voting with us this year.

THE Democrats who have to make speeches
this week must have hard time of it.

since Monday, and we do not find in them
many illusions to the late elections. Tho

as hard work to hear from Pennsylvania

Tar extracts concerning the political
revolution" going on in Baltimore, printed
on our FIRST page this morning, will be.
read with great deal of interest, we
think, by men of all parties.
There is unquestionably going to be
very heavy vote polled for Lincoln in the
border slave States. In Delaware the
Republicans will compete for the State in
Maryland they will more than hold the
balance of power; here in Virginia they
will hold nearly the same position in
Kentucky they will cast close on to ten
thousand, and in Missouri they will carry
ST. Louis county and city, and scuttle
some of the interior counties very badly.
There win be more votes polled for
Lincoln in the South, in these border
States, twice over, than there will be for
Bell in the same number of Northern
States that we can name. And the same
is true of Breckenridge. Where, then, is
the charge of secttonalism2 If the Re-
publicans do but their duty this coming
election, we will never hear of that charge
again.

the typo, "to give her 6lOo-cnough to

They answered that they had not that sum
to spare "Let 'em mortgage their house,

"Won't do it" replied the parents. aThcn
am too poor to marry" said the printer
and so ended the affair.

WHEN we are told that the Northern
people are endangering the peace of the
South, and are acting unwisely aud uu-
kindly in discussing the slavery question:
when we are assured that slavery is u
blessed and benign institution, and is SO
esteemed by all who see its operations, we
may do well to heed the testimony of some
of the southerners themselves. In Janu-
airy, 1882, the following depreciation of
slavery appeared in the columns of the
Richmond Enquirer:
"The two great subjects before the com
mittee (ofthe Virginia Legislature) arethose
which relate to the colOred population of the
State and to its internal imPrOUementS.-
Upon neither of these is the committee yet
prepared to report.
1t is probable, from what we hear, that
the committee on the colored population
will report some plan for getting rid of the
free people of color. But Is this all that
can be done? Are we forever to suffer the
greatest evil t hat can Sconrre onr land;
dimensions! We may shut our eyes and
avert our faces IF we please writes an
eloquent South Carolinian, on his return
from the north a few weeks ago. but
there it is, the dark and growing evil ut
our doors; and meet the question we must
at no distant day. God only knows what
it is the part of wise men to do on that
momentous and appalling subject. Of this
am very sure, that the diffcrence-noth-
ing short of frightful-betwecn all that
exists on one side of the Potomac and all
ON the other is owing TO that cause alone.
The disease is deep-scated, it is at the
hearts corei it is consuming, and has all
along been consuming our vitals; and
subject, at the ignorance and folly of the
politician who ascribes that to an ACT of
the government which is the inevitable
effect of the eternal laws of Nature. What
is to be done? Obi my God, L don't know,
but something must be done
Yes, something must be done-and it is
the part of no honest man to deny it-of
no free press to affect TO conceal it.

oSE of the good Republican papers came
to US yesterday, announcing in large CAPT
tails that Diana was redeemed. AS we had
always had an exceedingly good report of
this young lady, although we thought she
made moro parade of her virtue than was
consistent with good taste, we did not I'M
derst"nd the necessity "of redceming'' her.
We knew, on the authority of Johnson's
Scrap Book, that "Venus, the Methodist, was
a woman of nocharacter," but we thought
that Diana would not get into trouble, at
least that she would not get caught in it.
But, as we read on, we saw that it was
Indiana that had been redeemed, and that
typographical error had transformed a
Republican State into heather goddess.
