Our Platform Endorsed by Prcsi-
dent johnson.

J. n. Boyd, Esq, the aSlo Editor oil
the Fairmont Tcdstte, while 10 Wash.
ine,on q few weeks since, called upon
President johnson and asked him the
direct question what he thought Of the
wisdom aud propricty Of adopting our
Constitutional Amendment, disfranchis-
ing rebels. Hc gives The substance OF
the Presidents answer as follows:
IF the Union men Of West Virginia
thought there was danger Of the State
government getting into the hunds Of
contumacious and uurepentaut rebels, 1t
was right to disfranchise them but if
there was no danger Of this, then, Of
course, the measure was unnecessary,
and he would not recommend Us to
adopt it. But, he said it was local
question, Of the wisdom Of which the
Cuiou men Of the State sboIll be their
own judges. Will the copperbeads Of
this county endorse President johnson
on this question? What says the organ :?
lie laughs heartily at the bypocriti.
cal endorsements he is receiving from
his late enemies, and says be cant be
driven out Of the party that elected him.
1--WE had also the pleasure Of meeting
Governor Pierpoiut. The Governor is
thoroughly RECONSTRUCTED" and candid
ly admits that Cancellation towards rebels
is q failure. He made the following
declaration, which VIC regard as world
Of political philosophy in mus SHE'LL
at the same time it expresses the Gov
errors position on the issues before the
people Of West Virginia: The Governor
said, The grea, issue before the people
Of the Uui,cd States is,-shall treason
be made odious. or shall troasou be made
respectable? The late rebels" he said,
"wcrc doing all in their power to make
1t honorable in order to save themselves
and their postcrity from receiving the
brand Of eternal intamy. The copper.
heads" he continued, ~ were also trying
to make treason respectable for if it is
made odious aud dishouorable on the
pages Of history. they who sympathized
With the rebellion will share in its dis.
grace"
I. is scarcely necessary to say that the
Governors good wishes are with the
Union party of Yves. Virginia.
