tiles that should mark the representative
of free people. Too noble aud lndepen-
dent to stOOp to the low arts of the dem
agogue or the politician, he cannot be
made the tool of parties or partisans. He
has ever been faithful la6orer in behalf
of the people, and every interest, state or
municipal, which has been entrusted to his
care, has been sacredly guarded, and to-day
he is recognized Us public benefactor. His
labors in behalf ofthe new state place him
in the front rank of its most devoted
friends, and doubt if there can be one
found who has labOred more efficiently or
more earnestly, without hope of reward,
other than the welfare of his fellow citi-
Gems. As member of the Legislature, of
the Convention, of the new state executive
committee, he was recognized as a master
spirit, whose comprehensive views were
always adequate to the emergency. His
gratuitous labors in our behalfat Washing
ton City went far to secure to us the boon
we now enjoy. To a strong intellect and q
polished mind, is added fine personal
physique, a commanding presence and
suavity of manner, which wins the respect
and esteem of all with whom heis brought
in contact. He is now in the Vigor and
prime of his manhood, with health unim-
pared, and ne is just the man to represent
Gue young hu0
now about to appear for the first time in the
Legislative halls of our country, and which
has been ushered into existence under new
order of things by the unanimous voice of
her sons. The free laborers of the new Com
monwealth have burstthe bonds which have
heretofore paralyzed their efforts. They
have destroyed forever the curse of slave
ry which would have pressed them TO the
earth, and they now demand a.representa-
tive whose sympathy is wholly and entire
ly with this new order of things, one who
can realize''their hopes and desires, and who
will fearlessly stand up for the right with
out Offering apologies and excuses for per-
forming this duty. They want one who
has no lingering and sickeniug sentiment
atty for Southern slavery which is now
desolating our land with fire and blood
They want man who will unhesitatingly
stand by the Administration to the entire
overthrow and utter suppression of the I'M
holy rebellion. Such man we have in
Jas. W. Paxton, and while it is well known
that he is no aspirant for public favor but
rather seeks retirement, yet, now is the
time when our country needs the services
of such men, and trust the public voice
will compel him to accept the position he
is SO well fitted to occupy with advantage
TO his country and honor to his State
You, Mr.. Editor, have my name and can
testify that at least have no personal ends

only been with motive for the public
good. WEST VIRGINIA.

Peace-1Iakers.
TFrom Harper's Weekly

Whenever, as at this moment, the pros
poets of the rebellion are profoundly gloo-
my, we must expect that the tone of the
C0pperheads will be correspondinglyd def
ant. For, discounted within its own
lines, the only hope of the conspiracy will
be the prospect of q serious division with
in ours.
1t is not surprising, therefore that the
rebels Mt the South should be told by
those at the North that Governor Seymour
has sworn, by his sacred word and honor,
that 10 citizen shall be kidnapped" by
"Abolitionist howlers" until the constitu-
tuLlouolitS Of tho Hnnscription act shall
be tested by the New York courts. If
Mr.. Horatio Seymour has made any such
pledge, he has planted himself squarely
upon the South Carolina notification plat
form of thirty years ago-that the State
authorities are competent to annul the
National legislation, and that State may
release citizen of the United States from
his allegiance. But as the United States
is engaged in a formidable war to refute
this theory in some States, it is hardly
likely to assent to it in others. If Mr..
Seymour has made any such pledge, and
means to try to redeem it, he is going to
try to plunge the state of New York into
Jefferson Davis's rebellion.
That is precisely what the rebels wish;
and it is to cheer them with the hope that
it is SO, or that there is larger faction
which wishes it were SO, that the an
nouncement is made in the Copperhead
Journals. Ofcourse, the amiable papers
that thus seek to begin the battle in all
towns and cities of the North are those
that lament most loudly over this "wick-
ed, !" "cruel, 5" "fratricidal" war, and who
assidously proclaim their desire of peace
By their fruits We shall know them.

REvERDY JOHNSON, the counsel for Fitz
John Porter in the court martial which
resulted in his dismissal from the service,
has published pamphlet defence" of
that general. It comprises SO closely
printed pages, and is in answer to the
summing up of the case by Judge Advo-
cate Holt. Few people we opine will
care to read it. If there has been any
lingering doubts in the mind of any one,
of the justice of Porter's sentence, they
have long ago been dispelled by his init
macy with northern copperheads; and it
is surely just opinion, that man who
associates exclusively with traitors, can
not be very loyal himself Gen Porter
hada glorious chance to achieve honor
for himself and good for the country, and
he threw it away We do not apprehend
any Onewill care to pick it up for him
again. The country does not want sol
diers who cannot fight except on particu-
lar days and under particular generals.
Without sign, his sword the 6rave man draws:
And asks no omen but bis country's cause.

With such record Rhoads left this
State at the urgent solicitation of The peo-
pie of Parkersburg, and tra4eled over the
river to Marietta, where he opened out in
his present..position, as an organist of the
'peace democracy" His orgauship, after
an examination of his credentials, was thus
endorsed some time after his arrival, by a
"grand democratic mass meeting in Mari
etta," as Rhoads, himself, announced it:
''Resolved, That the Marietta Republican
is OUR county organ, THE EXPONENT OF
OUR PRINCIPLES, and shall and will
be maintained by the people ofthis county"
From this endorsement it. will be seen
what are the principles of the Marietta
democracy. The chosen and accredited
exponent of their principles g a man who
advocated the secession of. the State of
Virginia from the Americas Unton-who
voted for that secession-and who did his
utmost to break up this republic. Having
had to leave Parkersburg on lccount of his
advocacy and his efforts, he has been iu-
stalled as the proper and chosen "expo-
nent" of men in sympathy with the cause
which he so zealousIy labored to advance
on this side of the river.
We have taken thus much pains and con-
sumed thus much space about Rhoads and
his paper, not on their account or because
of their Importance, but simply because
they afford local illustration to our peo-
pie of what Epeace democracy" MEANS
Rhoads is genuine specimen of copper
head. The difference between him and
those whose "exponentn he now is, is just
this: he had opportunity on this side of
the river 10 exhibit fully the end he had in
view, and accordingly he gave bis present
sympathies practical direction by voting
for the ordinance of secession and the in
auguration of war. To the full extent of
his abilities, he brought on the war, but
now he is for "peace." "Peace" for the
rebelsl is what he meanss that peace
which shall secure their SUCCESS. And this
is just what his constituency, and all cop
perheads, near by s.pesce.D They know
uprising of the matte sis5 fl5s rebels,
but that is not the .'peaee shey want. 1t
is TIE ''peace" of dissolutioa-the ':peace"
of death-the "peace" of ar. acknowledged
rebel success, that they desire. Rhoads,
and such as he, talk of the depreciation of
our money, and that, too, when one dollar
of it will buy, in the very Capital of the
rebellion, seven dollars ami fifty cents of
reheI rnnnev What ineffaI:le meaDnesz of
spirit must control the ultimate and con-
cealed purposes of a man who writes in
this way2 Aud what musS be the AFFECT
ness of spirit of the OhiS Copperheads,
