GENERAL GRANT.

The radical press throughout the
country has industriously represented
General Grant as opposed to the policy
of President johnson, for the restoration
of the Uniun. Such representations
have been we'll known to the President
and his immediate friends and advisers,
to be utterly false. General Grant has
never expressed sentiment or opinion
unfavorable to the course of the Presi-
dent. His letter, which was read in the
United States Senate last winter, and i'll
which he declared it as his opinion, that
the States lately insurgent, were pre-
pared for reinvestment with their State
rights. embodied briefly but distinctly
his views, and he has never uttered or
written a word variant from them. But
if in the minds of any, General Grants
position has hitherto been at all dubious,
their doubts must now be dispelled. In
one of his recent speeches in New York
President johnson declared that General
Grant stood by him as emphatically in
civil affairs, as he had stood by the
country during the war. The announce
ment was received with great applause
by the entire audience, in the midst OF
which General Grant rose and bowed
his Acknowledgements.
1t will not be pretended hereafter that
there is any doubt as to the position OF
General Grant on the great issue before
the Nation.

II this radical Congress had any true
regard for the interests of soldiers, in
stead of appropriating millions of dol
lars to pamper lazy negroes in idleness,
and hundreds of thousands to increase
their already fat salaries of $4,000 each,
they would have employed this money
so as to place the early soldiers of the
war on an equal footing, as to bounties,
with those who entered later into the
service; and also in providing for the
wants of thousands Of widows and or
phans of soldiers, who are in distress.
But no! they can give the old soldiers,
who entered the service when no bOun-
ties were offered, and fought the battles
of the country through the dark days OF
1861 and 1862, but reluctant hundred
dollars while they put into each of
their own pockets $500 additional pay
for few months service, amid all the
luxuries of Washington life. And yet
this is the Congress of "great moral
ideas"-led by Sumner, Thad. Stevens
& Co, the body that claims to be paret-
celence, the patriotic, disinterested, pious
Congress of the United States The
truth is, more selfish, corrupt, danger
Gus body of men We're never combined
for any purpose than the majority OF
our present Congress.

ARE YOU AT YOUR POSTS ?

Sleepless vigilance and unremitting
efforts on the part of the National Union
men, are imperativelynecessary, if they
would succeed against the unprincipled,
negro suffrage, radical disunionists at
the approaching election. AS in legis-
lation they have shown themselves
utterly regardless of constitutional law,
SO in the administration of the Acts they
hare passed, they are equally regardless
of the rights of citizens. Great numbers
in this and other counties at the
last election, were denied the right
lation of the provisions of the Registry
act, unjust and tyrannical as those pro-
visions are. Every official connected
with the enforcement of the Registry
act, should be closely watched, and Il
careful minute made of every refusal to
register and return the names Of citizens
who are entitled to vote. The Court of
Appeals have already decided that the
refusal to take the Test Oath, is not of
itself, sufficient cause for refusing to
register the name of an applicant. And
yet the Board of Registration of this
county, struck from the Registry last
spring, many names Of those who had
taken the oath, and against whom not
particle of evidence was adduced
Such lawlessness and corruption are in
tolerable-and no people who value the
rights of American citizenship, and are
animated with the spirit of ordinary
manhood, will long submit to them in
silent acquiescence.

THE APPRECIATION OF SOLDIERS b.
A RADICAL CONGRESS.

The soldiers who enlisted in the F'ede-
raj Army in lS61-62 received no Govern
ment bounty. Those who enlisted after
large local bounties. The present radi-
cal Congress, under the pretenee OF
equalizing the bounties of the soldiers,
gave the first class 500, and in the same
Bill, gave themselves $500 extra pay
each, for single session. What a dis
interested body of men, and how they
do love the soldiers!

HENRY WARD BEECHER has written
a reply to the committee appointed to
invite him to officiate as Chaplain in the
Convention OF Soldiers and Sailors to be
held at Cleveland, on the Eth inst, in
which with great beauty and force he
urges the speediest possible restoration
of the Union. The New York Post, ~
leading Republican paper, says of it:
We hope none of our readers will
omit to read ;,ttentiveiy the statesman
like letter of Henry Ward Beecherupon
the question of reconstruction. Ii de-
serves to be written in letters of gold !:
it ought to De read by every man and
woman in the country; it is an appeal

wholesome fruit, and will turn MANY

OF the gravest question which has ever
been before the American people,
We will give the letter next week.

PRESIDENTIAL JOURNEY.

PRESIDENTIAL JOURNEY,
The President OF the United States,
accompanied by Secretary Seward, Secre-
tary WelIes. General Grant, Admiral
Farragut, and number of others Of
ficially connected with the Government,
left Washington on the morning of the
2Sth ult., to be present at the laying of
the cornerstone of the Douglas Monu-
ment, to be erected at Chicago, Illinois.
His progress through city and country
has been marked by continued demon
STATIONS of respect and admiration on
the part of the people, such as have
hardly been accorded to the Chief Magis
trate of the Nation since the days of
Washington. In Philadelphia the City
Authorities acted with pitiful mean
ness in declining to take part in the
honors rendered the Presdent--but the
action of the peopie of that city,
was a terrible rebuke to their I'm
worthy Mayor and Common Council.
BY thousand and tens of thousands
the citizens poured forth to meet
the man Of the people, with greetings of
cordial affection, which proved that he
was firmly enthroned in their hearts,
and would be sustained by their voice,
and, if need be, by their strong arms.
In New York, he was received with
every conceivable token of enthusiastic
regard. Business was almost universally
.st,snan1aI an1 tho vrhnln aify f,Irnn1
out to give him welcome. The demon
straton was SO imposing and the ex
pressions of confidence and affection to-
wards himself from the mighty gather
ing, were so full and intense that the
heart of the President was deeply touch
ed, and he could hardly command his
emotions sufficiently to respond to the
beautiful welcome of the accomplished
Mayor of that city. At Albany he was
welcomed to the Inequalities of the
State by Gov. Fenton, and was raptu-
rously received by an admiring and
grateful people. His journey thus far
has been truly one splendid ovation.
The people vie with each other to render
him honor, not only as President OF
the Republic, but as the wise statesman,
the lofty patriot-the honest man, to
whose hands the destinies of the Nation.
at this momentous hour in our history
are mainly committed.
At our latest accounts the President
had reached Niagara Falls, and was
greatly enjoying his visit to that scene
of wondrous grandeur. Along his whole
journey through the Empire State, the
unprecedented demonstrations that have
been made to honor him, show that the
sympathy and approval of the people are
with him. The Brownlows and Buffers
of the land may denounce and threaten
him as they will, the great heart Of the
Nation throbs with gratitude and admi.
ration for the efforts he is making tC
unite the whole country in the bonds OF
an affectionate and permanent brother.

OUR NOMINATION..

THE delegates from this Congressional
District to the State National Union
Convention, held at Parkersburg on the
22d uit., unanimously selected ourseli
to run as a candidate for Congress at the
ensuing election. This honor was Il
voluntary offering. We neither sought
or desired the nomination. We had not
requested our name to be mentioned to
the Convention as a candidate. We did
not even know of the intention Of the
gentleman who named Us, to present
our name to that body. We expressed
to the Convention our decided prefer
ence that they should select some one
else as their candidate, and especially
AN older resident of the State and Dis
trict But our objections were over
ruled, and with entire unanimity they
declared us their candidate. That such
an expression of respect and confidence
from so large and influential a repre-
sentatiOn of the District, was grateful
to our feelings, it would be affectation
in us to deny-and whatever doubts we
may entertain as to the wisdom of their
decision, we recognize its authority,
and shall render it obedience, by our
eXertions to give success to the cause of
the National Union party in our State
and Nation.

WHEN civil government in West Vir-
ginia was PROSTATE, and society dis
organized and chaotic under the power
of civil war, a set of INSCRIPTIONS, law
less men, usurping the prerogatives of
the people, constituted themselves the
lawmakers of the State-and by I'M
constitutional enactments of the most
unjust and tyrannical character, excluded
half or tWo-thirds of the citizens from
all participation in the administration
of the Government, and even from the
ordinary protection of the laws of civil
lied society. Such is the condition of a
majority of the people of West Virginia
to-day. They are denied the right to
vote, and refused legal protection in the
enjoyment Of many of tie rights of
person and property. And yet these
usurpers have the impudence to boast of
the mJorities by which they are sus-
taiued among the people! They are
like the highwayman, who first robs
you of your purse and then boasts that
he has the most money.

ERA" closes the first volume. Its past
is with the publc-and even where de-
sirable, cannot be recalled. Its future,
while subject to our direction, will be
in harmony with its past, both in the
principles it will maintain, and in the
great ends it viii! seek to accomplish
To repeat our own language, upon all
questions of personal or public morality,
we shall, in conducting the NEW Era
recognize the established doctrines and
rules of christianity as supremacy au
thoritative. Upon questions affecting
cur relations as a Government to foreign
powers, we shall advocate the preser-
Walton of peace when consistent with
National honor. Government is an
ordinance of Heaven, and is invested
with a divine right to protect itself
against wrong, injustice and dishonor,
by whomsoever offered.
On the question of the union of the
States, believing it by the Constitution
and from the very nature of the Federal
Government, to be indissoluble, we shall
advocate its maintenance at all hazards,
whether against Northern eXclusionists
or Southern secessionists. OF our esti-
mate of the value of the Union, and
our attachment to it, we can furnish no
higher evidence than our personal his
tory already affords. The Admins
tration of President johnson, we regard
as eminently wise and patriot adapt
ed to restore peace, security and pros
perity to our distracted and suffering
country, and opening before us a pros
pect of unequaled greatness and honor
as free Nation. We shall therefore
give to President johnson, in his efforts
to carry out the present policy of his
Administration, our humble but hearty
support.
The present policy of West Virginia,
in excluding from the rights of citizen
ship and from equal protection of the
laws, more than one-half of her people,
We regard not only as unwise, unjust
and ruinous to the best interests of the
State, but as tyrannical, cowardly and
mean. 1t will in the end, sink its authors
into the deepest pit of infamy. We are
enlisted for the war in battling for its
overthrow.
Upon questions affecting our local in
terests, we shall be found, as in National
matters, on the side of true ConserVa-
tism-in favor of the preservation and
adornment of all that is truly valuable
in society and government, and of the
removal of all that is evil and worth
less. All honorable enterprises to adj
vance our material prosperity,-all
wisely directed institutions for the pro-
motion of education, philanthropy and
religion-all measures adapted to pro-
mote social elevation, anG purity of
social enjoyments, and all efforts to i'm
prove and render more attractive our
war injured City and County, will find
in us willing and earnest advocate
and supporter.
Such being our views and purposes,
we hope not only to interest and secure
the support of our present readers, but
to be an instrument of usefuln ess to all
the great interests of society, where our
influence shall reach.
