Fast Young Ladies.

In order to be a fast young lady, it is
necessary to lay aside all reserve and re-
Misunderstanding that savors of
womanly weakness to have no trouble
some scruples, but to be ready to accord
an appreciatiug smile to the broadest
joke. There must be no feeling of de-
pendence on the stronger sex: but, by
adopting, as far as decency permits,
masculine attire, masculine habits, and
masculine modes of expression, sccom-
panied by thorough knowledge Of
slang, and fuency in using it, these
ladies show themselves to be above all
narroW-minded prejudices. There must
be no thinking about other peoples feel
ings: If people will be thin skinned. let
Them keep out of their way at all events.
Should mamma" raise her voice in o
feeble remonstrance, the fast young lady
lmpresses upon her that 'sshe is no Judge
OF these matters. In her old school DAYS,
everything and every one were slow;
but 1t is quite changed now" In short,
to sum up, to be fast young lady,
modesty, delicacy, refinement, respect
for superiors, consideration for the aged,
must all be set aside; boldness, indie
pendence, irreverence, brusqueness, and,
we fear, too often heartlessness, must
take their place.

HEDGEsvILLE, WEST VA,
October 10. 1865.

There was Il public meeting held at
this place this afternoon, which was adj
dressed by Maj. JOHN l. YELLoTT and
Lieut.. FRANK BURR, from Martins
burg.
The meeting was well attended and
the speeches were repletc with thorough
Union sentiments, and the people have
aroused to their duty and will go to til e
polls and give a rousing majority for the
real Union ticket, instead of the radical
or disunion.
We hope that every voter will go to
the polls and vote and if their votes are
rejected let them see that their votes are
put upon the rejected list, it is just such
meetings as this, that will give life and
vigor to Conservatism.

The Defenders Of 4fssussims.

The quiet little town of New Creek
was enlivened by Il political meeting on
the evening of Wednesday, the 18th
inst, called by Mr.. J. a. Chapline, the
Radical nominee for State Senator, etc.
it is very Radical place, a pretty good
crowd was expected, the meeting assem-
bled and Mr.. J. \. Wheat, and J. r.
Smith appeared to fill the appointments,
the speeches of Smith and Wheat were
nothing but perfect TRADE of abuse.
Mr.. Wheat who is the so called Union
candidate for the Legislature from Nor
gan county, made the following remarks
in the course of his speech, after speak
ing of the leniency of Mr.. Lincoln to-
wards the rebels, "he said he thought his
assassination an act Of Providence for the
benefit Of the people ofMis country, and
that he thought the assassination of Presi-
dent Johnson aro,tld be q still kinder act on
the part of Prorideuce. This is the SEN
timent of one of the candidates for our
State Legislature of the Radical party,
if Mr.. Wheat advocates the assassina-
ton of President johnson now, may
not other members of the party advocate
the assassination of President Lincoln
six months ago, which led to the act.
After these two men had finished their
speeches, Major John I. Yellott, was
called upon, and made a few well timed
remarks, and if we can judge from indi-
cations, we predict that men went away
from that meeting with their eyes open
to the rottenness Of Radicalism, and if
mistake moi, New Creek will give
rousing majority in favor of the real
Union ticket, headed by Kennedy and
Downey.

Court and even argue the point which
Mr.. Hall thinks is now so plain. twas
then pronounced by Judge Marshall "too
ertrdrogant" for discussion. And yet
now, it is sought to be crammed down
the Threats of the conducting officers as
sound law, and all to accomplish tenn
porary but desperate party purpose.

Radical Necfing in Hedgestitle.
Hedgesville, W. \ a.,
October ii. 1868. !

Hedgesvillc. w Va.
October II, 1865.
The meeting of the Radicals i'll this
place to-day was stupenduous tizZle.
The Radical candidate for State Senator,
Mr.. Chapline, and his man Friday, were
on hand according to appointment, but
the anticipated Large crowd" was not
forthcoming. The audience, men, boys
and small children, all told, did not eX
coed forty. Before this rast asscmblagc
the aspirant for Senatorial honors spread
himself in wild oratorical flight that
perfectly "astonished the natives" lie
took no positions from those already
assumed, and as they have been success
fully controverted and their fallaey eX-
posed in your editorial columns, itwould
be work of superrogation for your cor
respondent to discuss them. The speech
of Mr.. Chapline was coldly received by
his hearers; not single demonstration
of approval being given.
He was followed by his man "Friday,'
who glories in the name of Wiley, with
the prelude of Reverned (?1. He is a
preacheroftheM Methodist persuasion, and
divides his time between the pulpit and
the stump. He belongs to the progress
size class of ministers who regard the
Constitution of the United States as a
covenant with death and a league with
hell" His haranguc was entirely made
up Of laudation ofthenegro and Billings
gate abuse and denunciation of men, the
"latchet of whose shoes he is unworthy
to loose.' He unqualifiedly endorsed
the monstrous scheme of the radicals to
place negroes upon footing of perfect
political and social equality with the
whites, and to govern this country in all
time to come by means of negro votes.
Occupying this position, of course he is
uncompromisingly opposed to the recon-
struction policy of President johnson,
and so expressed himself. If the Rev.
(?) Mr.. Wiley is the authorized apostle
and expounder of the creed of the radi-
cal party of this county, it is safe to say
that hundreds of men reckoned as men,
beers of that party will fail to vote their
ticket at the coming election. Judging
from the effects of his speech in this
place, it would be ofimmense advantage
to the Conservative ticket to have him
speak in every township in the county,
provided the people could be induced to
come out and hear him. Several of his
hearers to-day expressed themselves as
perfectly disguised and they are gen
tlemen who had intended voting thr
Radical ticket. AS he progressed with
his harangue the ''crowd" grew "small
by degrees and beautifully less" until
long before he concluded there was scarce
a corporal's guard left.
4 number of gentlemen i'll this place
are anxious to know whether Mr.. Chap
line endorses the position assumed by
his man "Friday." Unless he takes oc-
casion to make satisfactory explanation
he will not receive their votes.
