also desires to have the genera
ment of both political parties anu al p9'
l;t;cal man IN the state. We noticed,
in ;ts columps, yesterday, a pompous ana
7 rondsrous srraignment of several prom
ipeut gentlemen, who, it appears, have
had the temerity to take certain action
| in relation to the candidacy for Judge OF
the Supreme Court without first consult
ing the opinion and afterward obeying
the behests of the Wheeling IntelNgenosr'
That Mr.. LAMB should inform Mr.. BOG
CESS of q nomination rendered the las-
tar nv a State Convention, or that Mr.
RoeGrss should write to Mr.. LAMB de-
Ginning the honor, or that either or both
of these gentlemen should do anything
in that or any other matter, without
consultation with "Sir Oracle" is GER
tainly striking proof that they are sad
ly deficient in the item of reverence for
ruling authorities, properly constituted
and eminently qualified. Such audacity
such bare-faced and lmpertinent pre-
sumption is intolerable For what pur-
pose, we would like to know, has the
Inteligencer cabal been endowed with
omniscience as to things present aEd
prophetic inspiration as to things TO
come, if fallible, finite humanity may
dispense with those qualities and regu-
late its conduct without reference to
oracular wisdomsand prescience. Z The
bestowal of infinite intelligence upon
the managers of the negre Suffrage organ
implies an obligation on the part Of ben
Gifted mortality to invoke and be gov
erned by that intelligence in all emer.
gencies, and any disregard of its author
ity merits the severest censure and the
sternest rebuke. In administering to
Mr.. LAMB and Mr. BoGGEss the retribu-
ton they have received. '.Sir Oracle"
has only resorted to just and necessary
mode of discipline: just, because pro-
priety has been outraged and authority
set at naught; necessary, because, with
out penalties the powers that be could
not preserve their dignity, and
their utterances and DEGREES would
be liable to constant defiance and dis
regard. We therefore hope that
these erring gentlemen, perceiving the
justice and necessity of their castigation,
will receive it in spirit of humble cen.
triton, and so order their acts in the fu-
ture that the reigning deities may be
propitiated and their wrath assuaged.
1t will not do for the delinquents to

in the indictment against them. 1t
matters not if the allegation against
them is false in toto The fact that no
leading Parkersburg Copperhead" had
any authority to speak for Mr.. BoGGEss,
if any did thus speak, does not weigh a
know that Mr.. BoGGEss never made
"declarations of the most positive char
acter that he intended to run through.
II matters not that Mr.. BoGGEss repeat
edly uttered in private conversation
both before and after his nomination
the identical sentiments expressed IN
his letter. and that his course Is thus
shown TO have been taken withoatr refer
