"Change Of base. :"

The Abolition papers arc very jubilant
over the report that the leaders Of the
Democracy-the copperheads," seces-
sionists," and traitors, have deter
mined TO abandon their opposition to the
unconstitutional acts of the Administra-
ton, and Join hands with the
niggerheads the "l.o-y.a.l" men Of
the country-in support OF war for the
social and political equality OF the "Amer-
ican citizens Of African decent " One
would have supposed that these immacu-
late and sanity worshipors of the ebony
idol, would as soon think of cooperation
with JEFF DAVIS, or even the Devil, as
the Northern copperbeads." But such
is not the case. They seem not only will
ling. but extremely anxious for an alliance
with Northern " secessionists. SEYMOUR,
whom they denounced last fall. as the
worst Of traitors" is now ,on the strength
of his reported determination to strike
hands with them, alluded to in the most
favorable manner. Even VALLANDIoHAM,
VOORHEES,, PENDLEToN, and others, on the
strength Of these reports, are viewed in a
much more favorable light than hereto.

We are sorry TO dispel the sweet illu.
sion of these African worsbipers. But il
is we'll enough for them to understand that
the Democratic party is founded on prin-
ciples as eternal as the memories OF itl
founders. Its opposition TO the Admins
tration is not merely factioub 1t is oppo,
sition to aagTant violations ofIthe Consti
tuition, and outrages upon ths rights anG
liberty of the citizen. This opposition

The gentleman who gave us the above
conversation between Colonel McCook and
Judge Thurman, told MS that the Judge
seemed to be very much impressed aud to
become thoughtful and distracted, as II
confronted IN his conscience with an
alarming truth. He further told US that it
was noticeable fact that Judge Thurman's
speech that day 10 steubenville was dis
pirited and fat affair, evicing that other
thoughts than those he was uttering were
crowding upon the mind of the speaker.
The conversation does well to 60 along
with Gen. Buffers remarks as corobora-
tive companion piece. Loyal men should
not fail to lay their significance to heart

tunity to impress upon the attention Of

To the County Recorders OF West
Virginia,


The Recorders Of Deeds, for some of the
counties at least, take no notice of the
Government stamps attached to the deeds.
The act Of Congress requires revenue
stamps to be attached to all deeds and
powers of attorney to conway land. Any
deed or power, made aud delivered since
June l, 1863, is void without such stamp
and cannot be made good for any purpose.
Now, the stamping of such instruments
is as much part of the execution Of them
as the acknowledgment of them before a
recorder or magistrate.
The recording is to give notice Of the
conveyance to the public and for the safety
of the deed.
The stamps should be recorded as part
of the deed, or be SO noticed on the record
as to show how much had been paid, aud
that the same had been cancelled. This
may be noticed on the margin of the rec
ords, where the same has been omitted in
the record.
The record should give notice of the full
and complete execution OF the instrument.
Otherwise It might not be received in evil
dence ii the original should be lost.
Let the recorders look to this. The
neglect of this duty may subject them to
suits for damages, as well as cause great
embarrassments to the titles of real estate.

Mr.. John UhlhOrn, partner of Peter
T. williams, the famous Directory man,
has arrived from Cincinnati and is now
at work getting up a Wheeling Direo-
tory. The williams firm has an enSiable
.ann.Atioa In thsir HaS of businOOS. They
mouopOlils 1t pretty much In the West and
they certainly do their work very complete.
Their last Cincinnati Directory is the neat
est thing of the kind we have ever seen.
and what is additionally and peculiarly
valuable about it over all preceding Direc-
tories is that it contains the names of eve
ry Post OGice in the United States. The
same sort of book is to be gotten up
here. Mr.. Uhlhoru, who will have the work
in charge, is a careful, methodical and in-
telIigent gentleman. He used to be press
man in this Office, aud he was always the
right man in the right place in anything
he put his hand to. He will do his Direc.
tory work well, and we hope that citizens
will give him all the information needed to
make his book credit to the city.
