make them better and happier, wiser,

cheaper for us, and our country. Let

in the fields, in the pulpits, and on the

nation, till we have in high places
just such men as are demanded by tho

will take the red hot balls of truth, and

back.
Let us not only stand still to see the
Salvation of God, but let US do our du-

rising generation around us, and the
problem will soon be solved. And
with this, if our nation will ardently

Supporting the Administration.

One of the most prominent features OF
the Democratic platforms recently adopt
ed in Ohio and Pennsylvania is the sup
port they give to the principal act OF
President JOHNsoNs administration
Although he was not the choice OF the
Democratic party for the position which
lie occupies, that party has manifested Al
generous disregard of its own preferen-
ces as to men and extends Il cordial sup
port to whoever manifests II disposition
to administer the government in arc"r-
dance with the letter and spirit oi the
Constitution. Whatever official acts An
DREW JOHNSON may do which tend to
delay the restoration of civil rights to
any.portion of the country, OF to sane
ton any innovation upon the established
landmarks of our republican system of
government, will bepromptly denounced
by the Democracy, but in so far as his
policy brings the nation back into har-
mony with the principles whose opera
tions have given us our national glory
and strength, he will find no supporters
more cordial and honest than those who
still claim utilization with the party of
which he has been an honored and prom

More About the Hog Question.

The Buckhannon Republican having
been debarred from the privilege of pub
fishing theproceedings Of Senator FARMS
woRTH's famous "indignation meeting"
copies the REGISTERS comments upon
the meeting in question and publishes
the following remarks of its own, show
ing how the pig question is regarded BY
those who are familiar with the charac-
tiers and the facts.
INDIGNATION MEET1NG.-By reference
to the Wheeling Intelligemcer, we learn
that on the 9th day of August, 1865, the
People of Upshur county, West Virginia,
met at the Court House of said county,
and held an Indignation Meeting" to
give expression to their horror and dis
gust at the course of the Wheeling Reg
ister, in regard to a certain clog" case, in
which Hon. D. D. T. Farnsworth and Mr.
Dean were parties, and the Hog finally
adjudged to Dean. We were not present
at the meeting, but unerstand it was
"large and enthusiastic" some thirty
citizens being present. They passed res
olutions stating "that we positively
know that the honorable Senator was
honest in his intentions when claiming
the hog in question" Is this not rldicu-
lous The idea of mans reputation
resting upon pig" A pig with tail
That roots in the ground. APig! Why,
was there ever anything more preposper-
ous2 A meeting is called about "Pig."
Resolutions, long and labored, are passed
about "Pig." An honorable Senator
of the State of West Virginia, deems 1T
necessary to vindicate himself in regard
to "Pigm He calls his friends together.
The bell is rung, They meet in solemn
conclave. A committee offive highly res
pectable citizens are appointed. The Sen
ator makes speech-they bring in reso-
luton after resolution-and all about a
paltry "Pig Pc miserable little grunter,
that runs about the streets, and squeals-
eats corn and roots in the ground. We
have heard of men being thrown down
by such animals running between their
legs, but never before have known a
whole community to be thrown Oft OF its
balance, by "Pig." ASenator vs. "Pig!'
1t is too ridiculous This must be a
Great Pig! We advise Mr.. Dean to put
it on exhibition. We should like to look
upon this lannon's specimen of the genus
"Pig"-this animal with snout, that
eats corn and roots in the ground-which
has caused solemn meeting OF our cltl-
zens-which has caused resolutions, re
dundant with ability and enriched by
study, to be passed-which has caused
our honorable Senator to make a clear
and forcible speech" and in eloquent
terms, appeal to the concourse of citizens
present" TO save him from Pig" 1t
Is sublimely ridiculous; and our honora-
BILE Senator should have had more conf
dence in the reputation he has cstab-
lished, than too think it could be swal-

A False Report.

During the war, reports were circular
cd in various counties of this State that
large tracts of land in those counties had
been sold at Richmond for the payment
of taxes due to the State of Virginia, and
that Judge CAMDEN, formerly of the
Clarksburg circuit, had purchased large
quantities of these lands. The report
was entirely without foundation. No
lands were bought by Judge CAMDEN
none were offered for sale; neither was
such measure ever seriously proposed
We make this statement in justice to
Judge CAMDEN and upon competent an.

are put in practice and Massachusetts,
dictation obeyed, that State will be very
"loyal" and exceedingly patriotic, but as
soon as the teachings of the "higher law"
are abandoned and the constitution Of the
United States is maintained in spirit and
in letter, the radicals become lukewarm
in their loyalty and seem to think that
secession may be legitimate remedy for
political evils after all We will not be
surprised to see the right of secession
argued affirmatively by Massachusetts,

To bring this about it is only necessary
for ANDREW JOHNSON to administer the
government in accordance with the Con-
stitution and for the Democratic party
to elect President in 1863.

Massachusetts Locally.

In view of the increasing bitterness
with which the Massachusetts, radicals
are assailing the policy of the admins
tration and urging the adoption of revo
lutionary schemes, it seems not improb-
ably that the next rebellion against the
authority of the federal government will
take place in New England The exam
pie of secession was first set by one of
the New England States, but the seces-
sionists of that day had not pluck enough
to stand by their own solemn resolutions.
1t may be doubtful whether they are yet
willing to fight for the prevalence of
their ideas, but we may expect to see
Massachusetts, secede within few years
if it can be done by buster and bravado
and terrible resolutions adopted in town
meetings or threatening letters signed by
the Boston Beard of Trade. 1t will be
remembered that President JOHNSON
once said in Congress that he wished
that Massachusetts, and South Carolina
could both be towed into mid-ocean and
moored to an iceberg until they cool
ed off and became less quarrelsome.-
The probability is that, if called upon to
repeat the sentiment, Mr.. JOHNSON would
n wv amend it by sending ont Massachu-
sstts alone. We heartily believe that
there is in South Carolina to-day more
honest sentiment of loyalty to the Con-
stitution and the Union than is to be met
with in Massachusetts, Governor PERRY
has already succeeded without difficulty
in recognizing the State government
and we believe there is a better DISPOSE
tion thereto submit in good faith to the
requirements of the Constellation and the
laws than is to be found in some places
that boast loudly Of their superior pat
