to remain in their native State, bound
by the strong associations that long
residence in any locality will create,
and, in the hope that at SOME future
time they would obtain that Justice
which the madness of the present hour
denies, they might labor for the welfare
and prosperity of the State and contri-
butte their honest efforts to advance its
interests and guard its honor. But, as II
Ito make assurance doubly sure and
take a bond of fate" the radical enc
mics of West Virginia propose to deny
citizenship to twenty thousand inhabitants
of the State and drive them beyond its
limits forever. They propose to plant
deadly hatred to the institutions OF the
State in the breasts of twenty thousand
inhabitants, and to make twenty thou
sand citizens foes to its peace and well
fare. They propose to depopulate many
counties and to set the blight of wilder
derness upon some of the fairest por-
tions of the State.
And all this is to be done for purely
partisan purpose. 1t is to be done to
enable miserable faction of incompe
tents to possess Office and power and
plumber. 1t is to be done, too, in deti-
ance of constitutional law, in violation
of legal principles which have been care
fully preserved during centuries past,
and in open conflict with the policy
which the Federal administration seeks
to pursue. As a question of expediency
alone it embodies the blindest and most
suicidal policy that could possibly be
pursued, while, as question of right,
it contravenes those principles for which
our fathers fought in the struggle that
gave the nation birth. We cannot be-
lieve that any man who desires the
prosperity OF the State will lend his in
fluence to the commission of so glazing
wrong and so ruinous policy as is
involved in the adoption of the measure
proposed.

The Constitutional Amendment.

That the people may see the full ex
tent of the ruin which the radical dis
unionists seek to bring upon the State
we republish the amendment whose
adoption they are endeavoring' by'meaps
of the test oath and registration act TO
force upon the people of West Virginia
Its ratification will drive twenty thou
sand tax payers from the State and COM
pei the remaining citizens to pay the
taxes formerly paid by the twenty
thousand who will go away. The radi-
cal amendment reads as follows:
mo person who, since the first day of June
1861. has given or shall give voluntary aid or
assistance to the rebellion against the United
States shall be citizen of this State or be al
lowed to vote at any election held therein; I'M
less he has volunteered into the military or
naval service Of the United States, and has
been or shall be honorably discharged there

The Admission of Colorado.

The admission of the Territory of Col
orado to the Union as State is the
latest development in the radical pro-
gramme The bill passed the Senate on
Thursday and will certainly pass the
House.
Several months ago, when Colorado
first applied for admission, the case was
referred to committee who reported
adversely to her claims. 1t appeared
that the territory d not the requisite
number of inhabitants and was not pre-
pared to successfully maintain State
government. But this was before the
radicals found it necessary to secure
sufficient votes in the Senate to over
ride Presidential vetoes and change the
form of the Government. Since that
necessity has arisen, it is discovered that
Colorado has all The requisite inhabit-
ants and has complied with ali tho usual
conditions tOE admission a. State TO
cause tive radical Senators and enc radi
cal Representative from that territory
are now in Washington City, waiting
only for the passage of the act by the
House of Representatives to take their
seats in the Congress Of the United
States and do the bidding &c SUMNER
aud STEvrNs. and reinforce With their
votes the disunion crew
One of the curious features ai tho case
aud one which shows up the incousist,
ency Of the radical leaders is found in
the fact that the constitution Of Colo.
RADIO expressly forbids negro suffrage; so
that, while demanding negro suffrage rs
condition precedent TO the restoration
Of the Southern States, the radicals in
the rump congress make no such demand
in the case of Colorado, but admit her
with a constitution which makes as
broad distinction between the black and
white races as that of any State in the
Union. SUMNER and two or three other
Senators afflicted with negromania voted
against the admission of Colorado upon
that ground, but they only did So be
cause they relied upon the ability OF
their radical brethren to carry the bill
When it is vetoed by the President and
two-thirds majority is necessary for
its passage We expect to see SUMNER
and all the other dsunionists voting in
its favor.
The admission of Colorado is purely
party measure 1t has no other object
than the Strengthening of the radicals
in Congress, and. should it become neces-
sary for the ratification OF coustitu
tiopsl amendment or for any other party
purposes, other territories will be hur-
ried into existence as States and new
States will bs carved cut of old ones
until the requisite number is obtained
A movement for the division of. the
State of Tennessee is already on foot.
and will be comsummated if the 1evolu-
tionists now controlling political affairs
deem it necessary to the accomplishment
of their purposes There is really no
limit to the bad an bition of these men
and they are willing to use any means
that can be devised for the success of
their revolutionary plans

The Proposed Amendment.

Editors of the Register
Many years ago Robert Owen, the
philanthrophist, delivered lecture in
the old stone court house, on Main
street, sometimes called the smoke
house any old resident can tell you why
it was so called,) some of my cotempo-
raries may recollect it. In his lecture
be contended that criminals ought new
er to be punished, only pitied; that it
was not their fault that they commit
ted crimes, but the fault of our social
system: that man was an initiative ami
NAL. and acted accoding to the circum-
stances with which he was surrounded,
and followed the examples set before
him He did not make very many con-
verts. and certainly the writer of this
article was not one of them. But do
cont, ID that his reasoning holds good
as far as the late rebels are concerned.
How many of us are there who can
say that, had we been placed in the same
situa ion they were, we would not have
taken part in the rebellion.
Iview the proposed amendment to the
constitution as the most foolish, the
most wicked measure that has ever EN-.
anated from legislative body in a
christian community. 1t is not neces-
sary for me to say anything of its enor-
mity-you have in your paper from time
to time depicted it in its true colors.
No one has condemned the rebellion
more than have, bat my religion and
patriotism teaches me to forgive those
concerned in it.
1t has been said that it is better for
ninety,nine guilty prisoners to escape
than hat one WHO'S innocent should be
punis ed If this odious, this unholy
amen ment is carried, it is hard to tell
how , any innocent men will be ostra,
cised 1t i. well known that in the
count IS in this State that were in re-
bellion, strong Union feeling prevailed
with many; but by CONSUMPTION and
outside pressure they were compelled to
act With their fellow citizens. Let all
good men, all who are not thoroughly
drilled into the ranks of the radicals and
dyed in the wool black, black, think of
these things. AN OLD MAN.

The Test Of Loyalty.

Mr.. Rogers, of New Jersey, in his
very able minority report from the Ju'
dietary Committee, on the proposition
to modify the test oath, was unkiha
enough to reproduce, from the files OIL
the Tribune, some opinions which its
editor would find it difficult to reconcile
with his present attitude. Here they
are:
Whenever it shall be clear that the
great body of the Southern people nave
become conclusively alienated from tn !I5
Union, and anxious to escape1t, we Will
do our best to forward their views
Tribune of Feb. %, 1861.
We have repeatedly said, and we once
more insist, that the great principe GU
bodied in the Declaration of lndepenu
ence, that governments derive tneir Jus'
powers from the consent OF tne g1se ain,..
is sonnd and just; and that II inc slave
States, the cotton States OF t9e gun
States only choose to form an inoePena
emit nation, they have a moral right &c
do so -Tjibune of March 2, 1861.
Twas willing, in the winter OF l86O-6l
TO let the cotton States 60 if they really
desired it. 1 was not only then willing
that the Union should in good faitf
make them the offer, but l no,c DEEPLY
REGRET that it was not made and acted
on.-Tribune Of February 81, 1863.
As The Tribune in these paragraphs
not only conceded the right of secession
but sympathlzed with and encouraged
the movement, its editor must, at tina
time. have been, according to the Radi
cal theory, disloyal man, rebel and
traitor. We should like to know how h'
got reconstructed and readmitted int
full communion with the faithful. Wha
was made the test of loyalty in Tn
Tribune's case7 If Mr.. Greedy woui'
give his experience, some useful hint
might be furnished for striking out
new plan of reconstruction.

Tnexpedient and Wrong,

The radical newspapers still try to
evade discussion of the citizenship
clause of the constitutional amendment
They make flimsy arguments concern .ng
the propriety of taking political rights
away from twenty thousand citizens of
the State, but the most reckless disu-
nionist in the whole office holding crew
has not yet dared TO defend the denial of
eiril rights. The amendment specifies
both, and proposes not merely to djsfran,
chise, but also to ALLEVIATE all who have
given aid or assistance to the rebellion
The disfranchise,nent clause is, of itself,
bad enough. it is contrary to the spirit
of, republicanism and dangerous to the
liberty of the people. 1t is directly
in conflict with that sentiment which
filed the heroes of the revolution with
patriotic ardor and which has been
transmitted to us as an axiom of political
wisdom-'No taxation without repre-
sentation." Ii takes away from Il large
class 81 our citizens a right which Amer.
