rule. Let the despots beware how they
trifle with the rights and liberties of
those who make and unmake those to
whom they delegate power.
In West Virginia We are peculiarly
interested in the issue of the contest in
Baltimore. Governor SWAMI has done
no more than Governor FOREMAN should
do in reference to the Boards of Regis
tration in many of the counties in this
State. The offences committed by the
Police Commissioners are identical with
those committed by the Boards of Regis
tration in West Virginia. They are
in violation of the plainest provis-
ions of the registration act, and are to
all intents and purposes, acts of rebel
lion. But here the parallel ceases. In
Maryland the Governor insists upon
their obedience to law, and orders their
removal for their disobedience, but in
West Virginia the Governor eonniyes at
their disobedience, and only removes
them when they obey.

This veteran journal continues to
maintain its reputation as the ablest
paper published at our nations capi-
tai. Always eminently patriotic and
conservative in its course, the IntelH-
gcncer has been especially conspicuous,
for the last twelve months, by reason
of its firm and unceasing denunciation
of the usurpations and iniquities of the
Thirty-ninth Congress, and by its
Jealous advocacy of the rights of all
the States under reunited Govern
mont. As the medium of reliable po.
litical information, it is invaluable, and
we trust it may secure in West Virgin
ia circulation that will enable it to
reach "every fireside in every commu-
nifty where the National Union and
Constitutional Liberty are still regarded
as objects of patriotic desire"

We venture the assertion that there is
no civilized government on earth, which
would not gladly admit the people OF
the South to full share of the privi-
leges enjoyed by itsown citizens. Could
they accept it, our rebel population
might receive the protecting care of any
European nation, and be placed upon an
equality with all other citizens thereof
We claim to be republican nation, and
are yet imposing upon our own people
such penalties and punishments as no
despotic government would inflict. Thi,
single truth is sufficient to show how
completely radical bigotry may trans
form government which is republican
in form into despotism in fact, and
make free institutions delusien and o
farce

The Presbytery of West Virginia will
hold an adjourned meeting in the Pres
byterian church of Clarksburg, Tuesday
evening, November 9th, at Z o'clock.
The services will consist mainly OF
preaching, prayer and conference, and
will be opened with a sermon by the
Rev. J. B. Reid. of Parkersburg. Ques-
tions will be considered as to the Scrip
tural method of securing revival of
pure and undefiled religion. Statistics
will also be collected referring to the
history of Presbyterianism in the re-
gion West of the Allegheny Mountains.
This being the centenary anniversary
since the first Presbyterian sermon was
preached in the territory lying West of
the mountains. The service of Wednes-
day evening will be devoted to the in
terests of the Sabbath School. Several
addresses will be delivered by ministers

LAST Thursday, in q lead mine near
Memphis, Tennessee, some specimens Of
red sandstone were broken open, and
one was found to contain q human hand
in perfect state of preservation. In
other cases parts of animals were found,
and one black snake, some five feet
long, was found of the consistency OF
the stone.
A CHILD five years old was kidnapped
in England two years ago by the agent
of its aunt, to secure possession of the
child's fortune. The guilty aunt got the
fortune, but a suspicion being awakened
n reward was offered for the child's re-
cOvery, and a detective traced the kid
napper TO Switzerland, then TO Germany
and then TO America, and last week the
child was found in Ohio, and dispatch
sent over the wires to its mother.

The Z. lection. To-msrrsw.

Elections take place tomorrow in
New York, Maryland, Illinois, Della
ware, Massachusetts,, Michigan, Mis-
touri, New Jersey, Wisconsin and Kan
rs. The contest in the three States
f1st named is looked upon with the
fseatest degree of interest. New York,
specially, is the object of much solic-
imds by both political parties. In that
etate the scale of political power is al
most evenly balanced and both parties
5 are sanguine of success. Mr.. HOFFMAN,
fhe present Mayor of the city of New
Tcak, is the Democratic candidate,
while Governor FENTON is the radical
cendidate for reelection. The whole
6fste has, perhaps, never before been so
thoroughly canvassed by popular speak
ers as it has been during this campaign,
and it is probable that a larger vote
Eill be polled than ever before. In the
eity of New York alone, more than one
hundred and fourteen thousand voters
lad been registered on last Saturday,
xhile the largest vote ever polled by
he city was about one hundred and
fen thousand.
"; Should the present troubles in Mary
land continue, it is probable that the
SECTION tomorrow will produce many
scenes of violence i'll that State, and,
possibly precipitate the new civil war
upon the verge of which we seem TO be
freading. Members of Congress and
members of the State Legislature are
fhe only important officers to be chosen
IN Maryland this year. In Maryland,

From the London Review


A very laage bundle of toothpicks may
he purcha sed in the arcades for trifle.
No one has ever seen a waiter throw
aside those implements; and it is not
easy to describe the feelings which over
take an observant diner when he notices
them carefully collected off the tables
by the attendant. The following is from
the Baden correspondent of a daily pa
per, and it suggests how these things are
done on the continent:
"a man opened restaurant here at
the beginning of the season. 1t went
on well. A stranger went in to dine
there in the fifth week of its existence.
Give me tooth pick said he. we
have none left replied the waiter.
None left, what do you meanr why,
sir, we had lot at first, but the diners
not only used them, but-would you
believe iti-they took them away"

MORAL GEMs.-Hope to the soul Is an
anchor to ship in dark night on an
unknown coast, and amid boisterous
ocean. 1t is the most eminent of all
the advantages which religion now
confers, and it is the universal com.
forter; and indeed if it were entertained
with that full persuasion which faith
demands, it would Danish discomfort,
extinguish grief, and render life much
more pleasant than it generally is.
If you have great talents, industry
will improve them; if moderate abili-
ties, industry will supply their def
cheney. Nothing is denied to we'll
directed labor, nothing is ever to be at
taincd without it.
There is nothing which must end, to
be valued for its continuance.
If hours, days, months, and years pass
away, it is no matter what hour, what
day, what month, or what year we die
The applause of good actor is due to
him ut whatever scene of the play he
makes his exit. 1t is thus in life of a
man of sense. A short life is sufficient
to manifest him man of honor and vir-
tue. When he ceases to be such he has
lived too long; and while he is such ii is
of no consequence to him how long he
shall be SO, provided he isl to his life's
end.
We hate some persons because we do
not know them; and We will not know
them because we hate them. Those
friendships that succeed to such aver
sions are usually firm, for those quail
ties must be sterling that could not only
gain our hearts, but conquer our prejn-
dices in things far more serious than our
friendships. Thus, there are truths
which some men despise, because they
have not examined, and which they will
not examine, because they despise.
God means that every soul which
waits on him shall soar. Not creep mol
burrow in the muck and mire of world
illness not crouch in abject submission
as the slave of men and Satan-but
soar. When soul binds itself to God,
and lives a life of holy conservation,
it is able to take wings and dwell in
the atmosphere Of heaven.
He who is passionate and hasty gen.
orally is honest. 1t is your old, dis
sembling hypocrite of whom you have
to beware. There's no deception in q
bull dog. 1t is only the cur that sneaks
up and bites you when your back il
turned.

Radical party is its claim to infalli
bility. In the midst of generation
that, like all things mortal, is prone t.
error, and being composed of men VIII
by their very humanity are liable to g
astray, the Radical organization viii
never admit the possibility of its owl
error or even the sincerity and honest.
of its opponents. Whatever the "UnioI
party enacts or proposes, is of necessit!
wise and patriotic. Whatever any
body else attempts or advises
necessarily pernicious and trea
sonable. "The great Union party o
the country" so-called, is the only source
of wisdom and public virtue, the eman'
ations of all other organizations are trait
orous and damnable.
Now we see no reason why the Radi
cal party should not style itself what il
pleases. No name that it can adopt can
alter its character or change its aims
and purposes. In the words of the par
ody:
You may break, you may ruin the vase if you
will
But the scent of the Niger will hang round il
still"
But while the Radicals have a perfect
right to adopt just such atitle as pleases
them, We submit that their presump-
tion is rather lofty, when after adopt
ing the name of Union party" they
seek to brand as traitors and disunion-
lists. all who are outside tho pale OF
their organization. BY what right do
they make allegiance to their party
synonymous with loyalty to the Gov
ernment! Are there not hundreds and
thousands of tried and true patriots out,
side of the Radical organization! Are
not DIX. and SrEEDMAS and ROsSEAU,
and McCoOK and GUSTAV among the
best living exponents of a pure patriot
ism. Are not they and hundreds like
them the stern and unfinching foes OF
the self.styled ''Union party
which now damns all oppon-
ents with obloquy and curses! The truth
is, these Radical gentlemen by theil
ceaseless prostitution of the name
"Union," have almost made 1t by
word and reproach. Men have come
to look upon it as the herald of proscrip,
ton and the pretext for persecution
Under Radical Vaccinations, every vio-
lation of law is excused because it is
necessary Union measure. Whenever q
right is assailed, the act is justified on
the plea that the security of the Union
demands it. Whenever citizen is en-
shaved, we hear the pretext that the
interests of the loyal men require
it. And thus it is, around the
whole circle of radical oppression ant
fraud. Every wrong is righted, ant
every villainy palliated by some worn
out, fallacious plea of "Unionism," ol
other claptrap of demagogues. How
long this state of affairs will continue
no one can say, but if it be perpetuated,
one thing is certain: the people viii
consider that the Union is dear ont
which can only be purchased by the
sacrifice of the Constitution and the
laws, and they will deem that Unior
scarcely worth prolonging whose exis
tence depends upon the enslavemeut o
one half of its citizens.
