ours,


MoRGASTowN, July II, 1861.
lHr. EdHor:-I would draw your atten-
ton to communication in the Star,
printed in this place, signed ''No. T." which
signature. you or any other sperson nn-
acquainted with its local meaning, would
say that it had no significance. But the
idea of the writer intends it to be pOrtcn-
tons, although carrying an untruth on its
face. The residence of the wrfter is no
more in No. Z than yours is, and is mag
isteria! dist;iCt in this country nearly
unanimously Democratic. You will there
fore perceive that the intention of this
demngogucical production is to operate
more on this class OF our citizens than any
other. You will also perceive that this
effort is very near akin to certain editor
ial which appeared in the same paper a
week or two since, and which, no doubt,
is written by a very near kiusman of the
editor of the Star. II it be so, and he is
attempting such 81 deception upon the peo-
pie of this county and town, I would say
to him he had better be very careful how
he manages his cards. The whole drift of
his article, and the meaning intended to
be conveyed, is a base fhlsehood from 4 to
q. His object, and the object of some
others of the same kidney, is to bring about
party feeling, and issues foreign to the
great issues now before the people TO wit,
the redemption of our glorioss country
from the hands of rebels and traitors,
whose arguments, in part, "No. Z" has us

whose shoes he is not worthy to unloOse)
Black Republicans and Know Nothings-
What low, petty contemplate demagogue-
ism The assertion that the Convention
had elected an nvowed Republican rs our
Governor, is fabrication as false as his
other positions, and he knew it when he
penned it.
All this fuss about the opposition to a
division of the State we have heard of be-
fore, and is less believed now than at first,
because it was conceived i'll lie and the
people have found it out.
This "No. Z" intimates that he is not
resident of Morgantown, and fears that Re-
publican mobocracy will forceall the dem
ocrats to take the oath of allegiance. him
self with the balance, which, no doubt,
would go hard with him. He also says that
he is not, nor never was, a candidate for
office. No doubt he has had the best of
reasons, one of which was that the people
were not going to elect the whole family to
office. "EYcry unsOund Democrat" he
says, has had to take the OATH Not so
fast, my friend, you sometimes call your
self. "loyal democrat" and you have not
been asked to do so, but cannot vouch
for you how long it may be before you are
asked to do so, especially if you continue
in your hypocritical, slandering, hang-dog
course.

a Gloomy picture.

late number of the London Ns'cs con-
tains n letter dntcd at New Orleans on tho
3Oth of Muy-six weeks ago-whch gives
n very gloomy picture of the condition of
things at that place. We extract por-
ton ofit:
s.The condition Of this country is dis
trcssiug to-day, and gives rise 10 the most
dreadful fears for the future. The war ls,

cessity, upon no real rivalry between the
different sections of the country; it is
the result of political madness, of

ends The press has lent itself TO
increase and continue the agitation, while
tens of thousands of the reasonable citi-

myself convinced that one month of q war

MI. Editor. / wish you would observe

Mr. Editor, I wish you would observe
the perfect identity of feeling and purpose
manifested in this mo. ~ and the editU-
rial above alluded to. "Ask my brother
if amt a clever fellow" How perfectly
disinterested? No office seeker nor office
holder, to say nothing of certain sore pla-
ccS, in certain localities about in these d.g-
gins.
Now for this political huckster and DEM
agogue to say that nine-tenths of the peo-
pie of 'No. ~ are of the "opinion" of the
editor OF tho Star in relation to the mor'"S
operandi of dividing the State,is not only a
talsehood, butt is gross SANDER upon
that people and ought to be exposed. The
people of that part of the country are not
going to be cajoled by every whipper- snap
per that comes along, although they have
been grievously imposed on heretofore by
such stock.
He says he will sustain the editor of the
Star in the course he had been pleased to
take for himself. l learn from good an-
thority that that editorial is not to be fol-
lowed up as WAS promised, and even If 1t
is to be, no n will find it will require
little heavier metal than he or the editor is
possessed Of to sustain such n course.
THE clap trap nonsense thata report is
current there that Wiley and Fitch are 10 be
hung because they had turned to be Dem
ocrats, is equally as false as all his other
assertions. and is only intended to operate
upon the uniuformed, and to get up flu
ror unworthy the me0nest demagogue
in the county.
The people here understand the move
ments Of certain gentry in this county and
will in time duly appreciate their amiable
designs. NO. e

from the old place on the Northern Cen

writes that the agent of the Southern Con-

proposition in writing to young Capt. Be-
naparte, formerly of Baltimore, to accept
the position of .tary Dictator of the
Southern Gonfederncy, with crown at his
disposal, whenever he may deem it neces-
sary to assume the dignity. Fortunately
for him, Capt Bonaparte las well as his
