The PrsAidsnt's Policy.

The disagreement between the Presi.

for their wrath in the Presidents speech
to the soldiers and sailors and are hurl-
ing their invectives with more bitter
ness than ever before All thought
of compromise has been aban.
doned and our West Virginia radicals
stand entirely alone in their lud;crous
effort to endorse both the Union Presi-

endorsement bestowed upon the Presi-
dent by the dead duck" party. however.
consists merely Of words-vor ct prete-

Tn. Constitutional Amendment.

The constitutional amendment upon
which the people are expected to vote
on the oath of May is the most suicidal
measure that was ever proposed for the
adoption of the people of any State. 1t
will take away all civil and political
rights from at least twenty thousand
citizens. Read it and judge for yourself
what a blow it will inflict upon the pros.
perity of the State, and then be sure to
have your name registered so as to vote
for its rejection:
mo person who. since the first day of Juno.
1851 has given or shall give voluntary aid or
assistance 90 the rebellion against the United
States shall he a citizen of this State or be al
lowed to vote at anv election held therein; I'M
less he has volunteered into the military OF
naval service Of the United States, and has
been or shall be honorably discharged there
ROM
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1866-04-24

that no person but the Governor should
be allowed to vote. Suppose we grant
all this to he true, (and this is just what
the radicals claim, would all this justify
the adoption of the proposed amend
ment to the constitution Of the State!
All that the radicals profess to desire
can be accomplished by simply disfran'
chising everybody but themselves They
need only take away the right of suf-
frage from their opponents and then
they will shave a good thing of it, and
can hold their offices in complete indie
pendence of the people, none daring to
modest them nor make them afraid"
But why is it they are not satisfied with
this ? Why do they aim to deprive
large class of our population, not only
of suffrage, but of citizenship also =? The
amendment declares that no person who
has been engaged in the rebellion shall
be citizen of this State or be allowed to
vote at any election held therein. -
Surely the denial of the right of voting
would be sufficient to guard against all
the dangers that have been copjured up
by radical imagination. Surely the
taking away of the elective franchise
would prevent the late rebels from ever
obtaining control of the State, even
were that result possible in any case.
Surely the disfranchIsement ofpersons
recently in rebellion would be sufficient
to secure to the State the valuable SER
vices of such men as represented 1.-The
loyal people" of the southern counties In
the last legislature, and is all that could
be desired to make the Governor sit
easy upon his throne, and the radical
party WELD the sceptre without fear OF
its being "wreuched from. their grasp by
an unlineal hand, no son Of their sue
ceeding"
Then why. in the name Of all that's
reasonable or just, do they persist il
striving to take away citizenship also
If their object be, as they themselves
avow. purely political, why not be con
tent with destroying political rights
without interfering with those which
are entirely of ciuil character The
amendment particularly specifies and
destroys both.
The radical newspapers aud orator;
have mover yet attempted TO defend tht
deprivatioss of civil rights which this
amendment coutemplates. They have
| not put forth even tho s6mblauce of q
reason why persons engaged in the re.
bellion are TO be denied citizenship.
Such a sweeping measure as will make
aliens of 1T least twenty thousand &C.
tual residents is not even necessary IS q
party measure and cannot be justified
upon that ground. But still either
through wantOn maliguity Of purpose
or through ignorance of the full extent
of the mischief it will do, these men are
urging upon the neople Of the State &
constitutional amendment, which will
not only disfr9nchse but fetter With al
the disabilities Of aliepage twenty thou

Civil Rights.

The chief argument used by the radi-
calls in support IF the proposed Cous.i,u-
tional Amendment is that it is necessary
to prevent rebels from voting in order to
keep the State under the control of
loyal" men, that those who formed the
State should manage its government,
that men who we're recently in arms
: against tins government should not now
be entrusted with political power, &c.

Now suppose We admit nj lis, which
has been demonstrated again aud again

But suppose we graut it TO be true thai
the radicals are the only men in the
