Duties Of .SuperrisOfs0sld Inspectors.

The law has so plainly and distinctly pre-
scribed the duties Of these officers that we shall
up to the day of the election, publish the fol-
lowing brief sentences that no officer may mis-
take his duty, and no voter be ignorant of his
rights:
'.Sec. 24th General Election La,r, Nor. 1871
1867: The Supervisors and Inspectors, at eve
ry election SHALL permit all persons to vote

JED to cote according to the first section Of the
third article Of the Constellation
SEC. 14,-Every officer and person employed
in holding an election by the people, shall be-
fore entering on the discharge of his duties,
take the following oath q / solemnly swear
that I will support the Constitution of the
United States, and the CONSTITUTION OF THIS

generosity which ever belongs tocourage;
the thoughtful and the good know too
well how human it is to err, to condemn
with words of passion those, who have
been, and again will be, their brothers;
the real patriot beholds in the trials of
the past that Christening hand which
afflicts both individuals and nations, that
out of suffering good may come; and
hepermits no uncharitableness tomingle
with the gratitude which swells his
heart as he greets the dawn of a better
day.
Whittier then are we driven to find
the source of that proscriptive policy SO
strongly urged upon the people of West
Virginia? Alas! the new State bears
the burden of those evil influences which
have weighed so heavily on the Nation
in the past; and contributed so largely
to kindle the torch of civil discord.
The fanatic; the bigot the dema-
gogue; the traficking politician; the
office seeker and Office holder-having
combined to plunge a peaceful land in
the dark abyss of war; now, that the
cloud has lifted, and the sunshine once
more lights the Nations pathway, seek
to WELD again their pestilent power, to
drive back white-winged peace from our
homes and hearts, and to thwart that
heaven-inspired wisdom which teaches
that the hand of reconciliation, alone,
can bind up the bleeding wounds of the
past.
Against these mischief makers; against
the selfish and personal aims which alone
prompt their actions; against the evil
results which must ever follow their
counsels and their deeds; against their
reasonable resistance to thepolicy of the
Federal Administration against their
interference in the great work of social
and political reorganization against the
arrogance which leads them to judge
and condemn those who are far truer,
better, and more loyal than they; against,
in word, the criminal wrong their
selfshness and folly would inflict upon
the future, we enter our solemn and
earnest protest; and we appeal to the
calm, sober, and honest judgment ofTHE
PEOPLE, knowing that the popular heart
instinctively rejects all wrong, andscorns
and condemns all prescription.

Il CARD.

l have received directly, and indirectly,
various requests from my fellow -citizens, that
| should allow my name to be presented as a
candidate to represent the county of Berkeley,
in the next Legislature of West Virginia.
l would do injustice to my own feelings were
| to conceal my full appreciation of the honor
which such requests confer upon me; and I
would do like injustice to my own sentiments
and opinions We're I to leave unuttered my
deep sympathy with those loyal and patriotic
gentlemen who have deemed me worthy to
represent the conservative principles which
control them.
l believe in the policy of reconstruction
sustain the Administration of President John
son, and have no sympathy with radicaism
or prescription
In whatever labor belongs to those who
concur with me, am willing to bear my part
but ! am satisfied the duty of representing
upon others. This conviction-added to con-
dition of my private affairs which demands
my attention at home-induces me to decline
The honor my friends so kindly offer.
l am strengthened in this determination by
the hope that distinguished gentleman of the
county; one who has before ably served it,
and one who has long been among the most
will permit his name to be presented to the
public. L refer to Joseph F. Gordon, Esq,
whom it will afford me the sincerest gratif-
cation to support for seat in the next Legis-
lature. JAMES L. CAMPBELL.

The Duty Of the People iM the Conn
iag Election.

One of the effects of the late war, was
the birth of the State of West Virginia,
into the great family of States of the Uni
on. With a judicious application of the
proper means for the developmentofhe her
vast resources of wealth, her future must
be a proud one. Born but a few years
ago, during the fierceness ofthe late war,
she has scarcely had time to announce
her political character or even the forma
ton ofpolitical parties.
The first general election, in the 10th
Judicial District, will be held OH the Goth
day of this month, and the issues for set
Element on that day are of an impor-
lance, which must challenge the most
serious attention of every citizen of the
district.
The people of West Virginia have
ever been pre-eminently loyal to the
government, and they have been almost
unit in favor of the suppression of the
rebellion. United on this single point,
different parties have not yet arisen to
their respective spheres. They are now
called upon to organize, and the coming
election must announce to the country
the political status of our district.
In viewing the condition of our peo-
pie politically, we find them divided in
to two classes, or parties. The one par
ty, which we will term the Radical par
ty, the self-styled Union party, are de-
sirous of continuing the war, which we
had all hoped was ended by the surren-
der of the rebel armies; and ofdepriving
certain men Of rights which are guaran-
teed them in the most sacred Manner
This party is entirely forgetful of the
terms of the surrender of the Confederate
armies to Grant and Sherman, and the
terms ofthe amnesty proclamation of the
Chief Executive.
We see another party, which terms it.
self the Conservative, or true Union par
ty, but which is called, by their Radical
brethren, the Copperhead, or Rebel par
ty. Their object is an endorsement of
the policy of the administration of An
drew johnson, and reconciliation be-
tween the people of the north and the
south. They declare the war ended, and
wish the American nation to move ON,
in its political and social departments,
as it did prior to the late war. They are
willing to let by-gones be by-gones, and
to ensure all men the rights which legal
ly and justly belong to them.

The President holds the impressnablc:
ground, thatthc excluded Southern States
are not out Of the Union, and never have
been; that they only need a re-organiza-
ton under the Constitution and existing
laws of the Union, to be entitled to all
the rights in the General Government
which belongs to the other loyal States.
He. has only to adhere to this ground to
secure the establishment of his policy in
this Congress or next. We believe with
the Herald, however, from the cooling
down of the radicals on the day after the
reception of the message, that whole
some reaction has already commenced,
which willmake the Presidents policythe
programme of the present Congress.
When such old radical campaignors as
Thaddeus Stevens begin to tack ship, it
is because they sec breakers ahead.
