LOYALTY OF NEGROES.

The principal reason urged for giving
Che negroes of the South the right of
suffrage is that they proved loyal 10 the
Union through the war OF the rebel
lion. To a great extent this is mere
fancy. Ihree-foarths Of the slaves
OF the insuf5ent States voluntarily re
maiaed With their masters, and we're
faithful to them through al the vieissi-
tubes Of The war. Many Of them were
with their masters IN the field, and in
different capacities rendered important
service in the active prosecution Of the
War-but the great body of them re-
mdined at home and labored for the
support OF the families of their masters,
and for the support Of the rebel army.
The simple truth IS, all the p0etieal de-
scriptions we meet with, Of the unsWerv-
ing loyalty to the Federal Government
the lofty devotion to the Union of
these Southern negroes, IS sentimental
nonsense, without foundation iii fact.
and laughed at by those among them
selves who have intelligence enough to
understand the joke. Nearly the whole
OF them who We're made soldiers,
Were made SO, noAeas U0leits--and when
they were discharged from the service,
the majority of them returned To their
Old homes. If invested with the right
of suffrage, they would vote as directed
by their Old masters or present employ
ers. But the citizens of the Southern
States, and in our opinion, Of most Of
the Northern States also, regard the
highest privilege Of American citizen
ship as too valuable and of too sacred a
character to be thrown away on the
ignorant, unthinking negro population
Of the South.

ORGANIZE! ORGANIZER!

Let every National Union man ana
supporter of the President. consider
himself committee of one to see that
his school District is thoroughly organ
lied for the election. See that every
man who can do SO, is registered, ana
then see that he goes to the polls ana
votes. Proper and energetic effort on
the part of those opposed to the rulnous
rule of Radica!isn, will secure the cleo
ton of Judge Smith, our gallant stan
dard bearer for Governor, and the utter
and complete overthrow of Radical
tyranny in West Virginia. Is not this
consummation so devoutly wished, y
worth an effort on the part OF every
man who has the interests of the people
and the prosperity Of the State at heart ?
Then let every true friend Of the State,
of the people, and Of the policy OF
Andrew johnson, go earnestly to work
for its accomplishment, and success will
crown your efforts.

LOGIC.

The reason, says the Bsrheiey Union.
why the Overseers of the Poor in this
county, pay a salary of $500 instead of
500, to the physician for the county
Alms-House, is, that the rebels by the
war have burdened the people with
heavy taxes. The Overseers of the Poor
are, therefore, justified in making the
taxes of the county still heavier, by
throwing away $2lO. Profound reason
ing. worthy the great logician of the
Union.

DURING the past week we have paid
a flying visit to Hampshire County. We
were received with most grateful cordi-
atty, and formed many valuable ac-
quaintances. The frank, open-hearted,
generous hospitality Of the people of
old Hampshire, cannot be surpassed,
and upon the political issues of the day
they aresound to the core. Unless denied
their rights as citizens, they will roll up
a splendid majority for the National
Union party at the approaching election.
We were entertained at the "Arm
strong House," kept by our esteemed
friend Keller, who has the gift Of re-
eeiving his guests with welcome that
makes them all feel at home, and OF SO
entertaining them, that they leave with
reluctance. Those Nenison steaks !
well never mind. Your invitation, friend
Keller, to repeat lily visit is accepted.
Please remember your promise for
the 18th.
We also had the pleasure OF forming
the acquaintance Of Mr.. Harper, whose

what else can the Radicals do: They
have no principles and no policy with
which to go before the people. The
time has gone by when a party could

THE INSTRUMENTATION CONVENTION.

of Southern 'sIoyalists,' se-called,1
Northern Radicals, negroes and strong
minded women, which was in session at
Philadelphia last week, split into two
factions, and the actors in the farce have
dispersed. The proceedings served to
show up the weakness of the Radical
party in a very absurd manner. There
were Southern men there who repre-
scented nobody; the Northern men did
represent the Radical party of the
North. The Southern delegates were
outspoken for negro equality; the
Northern delegates were just as much
in favor of it, but were AFRAID to publicly
adopt it, so they had to keep quiet and
be submissively roped by their dearly
beloved Southern brethren.
Fred Douglas was there in all his
glory. He walked arm-in-arm with his
white equals, and made important
speeches to the caucus and the crowd.
Altogether, Fred was the most notice
able man on hand.

the other West Virginia delegates, was

THE PRESIDENTS JOURNEY.

The Presidents journey from Wash
ington to Chicaeo-Where he arrived IN
time to take part in the ceremonies at
tendant upon laying the cornerstone OF
the Douglas Monunent-waso one grand
and continuous ovation. At every stop
ping point along the entire route, the
people were gathered in thousands to
greet with shouts of welcome, and de-
monstrate their love and respect for the
irOn-uW defender of the Constitution
and civil liberty-Andrew johnson. At
Cleveland, where he was welcomed by
the city authorities, and stopped over
Monday night, while speaking from the
balcony of the Rennard House, he was
grossly insulted by few Radical black
guards, who were intent on raising Il
riot. He retorted to the base-born dis
unionists in language severe, but Just,
which caused them to stink away like
whipped spaniels. The more respect
able portion of the party were thorough
~ disguised with the conduct of their
friends, and considered that a lasting
disgrace had been fastened upon the
city.

THE radical journals in their ill-dis-
guised rage at the magnificent spectacle
presented by the National Union Con-
vention, are making a pitiable exhi-
bition of ungovernable spite and ma
levolence. Because the people WILL
sustain Andy Johnson, and have loudly
proclaimed the certain defeat Of his
radical enemies, the newspapers i'll the
interest of the Congressional diSunion-
lists are lashing themselves into a foolish
phrenzy, and like the stricken viper, are
wounding themselves to death. Not
satisfied with their vulgar abuse of the
Democratic and Conservative element
in the Convention, they are attempting
to iniure by their assaults the gallant
soldiers of the Republic whose unseliish
patriotism led them into that august as
semblage. Generals Couch, Dix, Custer
McCook, and a host of other gallant
soldiers who periled their lives on many
a hard-fought battlefield in their de-
votion TO the cause Of the Union, are
now under IN. ban OF the destructives,
who, if they cannot rule the nation, are
determined to destroy it. They, and
others like them, are now abused and
slandefed without stint. There is no
sheer, no vitaperatioa TOO gross for the
radicals in speaking Of their present
position. That the American people
will experience d just and universal in=
dignation a such treatment OF their
heroes, ave cannot doubt, and that they
will show it in the most positive and
determined manner at the ballot box Is
eouallN certain.
