EDITOR OF THE REGISTER:
Mr.. Blair has dispatched to bis friend
his nomination by the Moundsville Conven
ton. This is as had been expected. Tb
question now is, who will oppose him.
Will Mr. Norton run? Will Mr.. Lamb?-
The latter has resigned his seat as mem
Der of the House of Delegates, which pos
sbly argues that he will stand his chance
for seat in the Congress Of the United
States.
Col. DeHass Of Marshall, has been here
and will he run as the unconditional Unio1
.Saoing candidate.
Mr.. BIair's position is equivocal and dan
gerous, and be stands upon radical plat
form, such as the Convention yesterday
1t is asserted by those who know, and tht
fact has been stated in black and white
that in his speech at Richie G. H. las
week, and subsequently, in private CONVEX
saUion, he declared that he had been false
ly quoted in his Hancock speech, where
he emphatically endorsed everything that
had been done by the Government to put
down the rebellion-miita1y an Sts, con
fScation, emancipation proclamation, ana
ar That "cvery slave in the South was
this day free man, with no power on earth
having itself authority to remand him tc
scrvitude" &c, &c. [ repeat, that
Mr.. Blair, according TO the evidence
before me, declared at Richie Court House
that be did not make these declarations a,
Hancock Court House. Can any of your
readers at Hancock enlighten us on thi,
point?
With regard to the Convention, it ha;
probably resulted more disastrously thar
its worst enemy had predicted. One voice
Of condemnation has gone up against it II
all the lower counties 1t looks now as
though it might prove the political grave o
the nominee. Had Mr.. B. kept out of the
Convention his chances of election would
have been vastly improved
A glance at the field indicates the defeat
of radicalism, and the election to Congress:
of Conservative. Union-saving man. This
is what we need. These are not times for
radicalsm. The Nation is in too critical a
condition to bear further disaster by elect
ing fanatics to Congress, or men who will
affiliate with the disorganizers. They must
not be deceived by the position of men
newly assumed. They should look to the
antecedents of candidates, and, in the Ian,
guage of Mr.. Norton's card "Select repre-
sentative who has not made up his opinion
to-day, nor eren yesterday, nor 'cho presents
you with false ones" This is judicious ad-
vice, and we hope to see it observed. More

Poor Missouri

Is having hard time of it. A set Of the
radicalest radicals in all the land, headed by
the noisiest demagogue Zone CHAs. DRAKE,
of the West, having been at Washington
besieging Mr. LINCOLN to disband the State
militia, throw overheard Gov. GAMBLE, put
the State under the control of abolitionists
and, chief among all these accumulated
wrongs, establish there, as dictator, the in
famously notorious pro-Consul of New Or
leans, BENZ. F. BUTLER.
The President promises to give their ad
dress "a careful consideration" -

The QUESTION PLAINLY STATED.-The
Newburyport Mass. Hsrald-which speaks,
more candidly, wisely and truly than all
the other Republican papers we read-says:
sAn'equality ofraces means war oflraces, or a
corruption and destruction of races, as
all history proves. There is not case
on record Adam, where two distinct races
inhabited the same land in peace; and there
is not a case where two distinct races lost
their distinctiveness by amalgamation, where
the adulteration did not end in destruction.
Mr., Lincoln says it is impossible for the ma
ton to exist half free and half slave it
is hundred sstimes more impossible for
it to exist, half white and black. Mr.. Lin
coin says, colinize Them Mr.: Blair, .expa'
triate them: all the South and all the West
emancipation and deportation should take
place together. -

DISPATCH sent to Richmond from
Charleston on the twenty eighth Of last
month states that the Morris Island bate
ries were on that day slowly firing upor
Fort Sumter. No damage was done. A
French naval officer, recently frcm Charles
ton, reports that the Confederates were
busy in Strengthening their position in the
fort, and were confident that they could
hold it. The only serious damage to the
fort which was done by the original bonn.
bardmenr was to the southeast face and the
wall interiorly opposite, which was struck
by she'll passing through from the 'front.'
He reports, also, that the number of per.
sons who have left Charleston is compare
lively light. Even many. women and chill
dren yet remain in the city.

FROM the best information it is in our
power to get, we are satisfied the tobacco
crop in this State has not been materially
injured by the frost. We have solicited
answers from correspondents and from farm
ers, and they tell US, as far as we have
heard, the injury to the sanding crop is by
no means so great as was at first reported.
No doubt the crop is injured in Indiana and
Illinois The frost was severer in those
States than in ours, and We have no doubt
that the yield in Kentucky will be fully as
large as last year, if not larger, because of
the large planting in every section of the
State.

MURDER IN PoTTsv1LLE, PA.-On Friday

who had been quarreling with the landlord,
with whom Mendom boarded. Mendom ran
out of the back door. He was ordered to
halt by the soldier; he refused, and the sol

The Grafton Caucus a Fizzle,

The Convention called to assemble at
Grafton on Thursday, the LIST inst, was a
perfect fizzle. Notwithstanding the lead
ing wire-workers in Wheeling had annouuc-
ed through their organ and by letters that
a Convention would be held at Grafton to
nominate candidate fer Congress from the
Second District, and the sight-by ten heb
domadal at Faiimont had noised the fame
thereof abroad, the whole movement prov
ed miserable farce. ..F
Early in the morning we sailed round
the town, hoping to see some of the dele
gates and ascertain at what hour the assem-
bly, would come to order. We found sew
eral members of the Legislature-and
among others the distinguished "member'
from Fairmont, who has the honor of keep
ing door for the Senate. We presume this
member" was sent by the Wheeling clique
In order that the quorum of the Senate
would not be diminished.
Ten o'clock arrived, and no Convention.
The Burdettites were growing desperate
while the Brownies were eager for the
fray. A Morgantown worthy was on hand
distributing extras" about "Billy my
boy "a scheol-boy article, no doubt pen
ned by the same Wheelingite who wrote the
card against B. II. Smith, ESQ.,, which ap-
peared in the aforesaid hebdomadal during
the Senatorial campaign. The Western
bound train made its appearance, and after
its departure several "Burdetts" were
found to be non est. A grand review OF
forces was had, when the Burdettites dis
covered they had been weighed in che bal.
ance and found wanting" and concluded to
adjourn till after dinner.
Immediately after the repast, bush
whacking was begun, by the 'infernals."-
Brown was denounced as traitor; "ex
tras" were thrown to the breeze; and a
desperate attempt was made to drive in the
pickets of the undaunted Brownies, but 1t
all proved of no avail. The next move of
the "Burdetters" was to slip from the
crowd and call meeting. When they dis
covered their movements were watched, the
project was abandoned, and the field given
up as lost.
With the four o'clock train left another
batch of Conventioners, and the few that
remained took to the ''fowin' bole" in order
to drown their sorrows. One after another
Was "laid out" including the extra" man
and before the hour for tea had arrived the
Brown men found themselves mplete vic,
tors aud were awaiting flag of truce from
the opposition.
So the great Convention-the assembly
of the 'simon-pures"-the loyal men of the
Second District. e., the members of the
Legislature, including the 'door Keeper
whose names were attached to the call for
the Convention, which appeared week or
two since-proved a miserable failure.

tool to come to our city tor further instruc-
tons before be issues another ''extra" or
