From the Kanawba Republican,
Conservatism va. Radicalism,

Under the head Of Conservatism Of the
Army, the Ner Era gives the following
distinction between Radicalism and
Conservatism as the terms are used IN
West Virginia; distinction which we
believe to be true aud well expressed =
To Northern men this distinction may be
somewhat blind, but to those who are
familiar with the state of affairs in this
vicinity there is nothing palmer than
the difference between law-abiding,
harmonizing Conservatism and the revo-
lutionary, disorderlS doctrines Of Radi-
calism For the Radical party to: claim
all the loyalty and decency of the State,
and to boast that the whole Republican
party as well as the Administration are
supporters of their views, is neither new
nor strange, but the present session of
Congress will prove its talsity:
"In the remarks which we made ill
our issue of the 9th inst, upon the uni
form conservative tendencies of the dis.
tinguished officers and gallant soldiers OF
the Federal army, we had not the reno
test allusion to the Northern organization
Of parties We are yet to learn that III
what tre denominate conservative policy,
the Republican is less conservative than
the Democratic party Both, in their
conventions, have endorsed the meas
ures of President Johnson, and in the
late canvass the orators of both organl-
cations Wed with each other in profes
sions of rnbounded admiration of his
conciliatory policy.
What we specially mean by cOnserva
tism in West Virginia, is respect and ODE
disHce to the Constitution Of the State a
restoration to all men of their civil and
political rights-an abstinence from per-
secution, insult, outrage and oppression,
and return to all the harmonious rela-
tons of civil and social life. This is
what distinguishes conservative policy
in West Virginia from the radical
Upon these points we defy the produc
ton of single name, distinguished in
the Federal army, that concurs with the
radical policy of this State. Give us the
name of one single meritorious Federal
officer who advocates denial ofthe right
of suffrage to returned rebels, or who
now, in a period of peace, punish them
by depriving them of their civil rights!
No such instance can be found This
policy is alone advocated by those who
did not fight the battles of the Union

Mexico.

President JUAREz, whose term OF o.
fee has expired by limitation declares
that his time is extended, and justities
his assumption of power on the plea that
it is not possible to legally elect Pres
ident at this time. The Mexicans have
heretofore paid so little respect to their
own choice of an Executive, that they
can hardly pay less to the selection made
for them. De .facto the governing power
is in the hands of MAMMALIAN. Recog-
nising this fact, General LOGAN refuses
to accept the position of Minister to the
Republic of Mexico unless the admins
tration takes steps to make the Republic
something more than political non
entity.

A BILL HAS been introduced into the
House Of Representatives, styled by the
press, somewhat unhappily, perhaps, "A
bill for the relief of Mrs Lincoln" wild
ow of the late President, 1t is proposed,
we believe to donate to Mrs Lincoln the
amount of salary which President Lin
coin would have received had he lived to
the close of the term for which he had
been elected-S100,00O There is pre-
cedent for this measure in the course
pursued towards the widow of President
Harrison. President Harrison had serv-
ed about one month of his term; on mo-
ton of John Quincy Adams, Congress
paid to Mrs. Harrison an amount equal
to the Presidential salary for one year
$4,000 The late President had served
one month and three days of his second
term; under the circumstances attending
his death, we assume that Co.

In these days when diseases of the throat
are so universally prevalent, and so many
cases fatal, we feel it our duty to say a word
in behalf of simple, and what has been
with us a most effectual preventative, if not
positive cure, of sore throat. For many
years past, indeed we may say for the whole
of a life of over forty years, we have been
subject to sore throat, and more particularly
to dry, hacking cough, which was not only
distressing to ourselves, but to our friends
and those with whom we were brought into
business contact. Last fall we were induced
to try what virtue there was in common SALT
We commenced by using it three times day,
morning, noon and night. We dissolved a
large tablespoonful of pure salt in about half
Small tumbler full of cold water With
this we garge the throat most thorough just
before meals. The result has been that
during the entire winter we were not only
free from the usual coughs and colds to
which, as far as our memory extends, we
have always been subject. but the dry, hack
ing cough has entirely disappeared. We
attribute these satisfactory results solely to
the use of salt gargle. and do most cordially
recommend a trial of it to those who are sub
ject to disease of the throat. Many persons
who have never tried the salt gargle have the
impression that it is unpleasant. and after a
few days use no person who loves nice
clean mouth, first rate sharpener of the
appetite, will obandon it.-Fdrmer and Gar
Qener
