AYert the Danger.

If that dreaded scourge ofnations. the
Asiatic cholera, should visit our borders
this summer and, in our own state,
sweep twenty thousand citizens into
their graves, it would be deemed pub
lie calamity day for fasting, humilia-
ton and prayer would be appointed and
good men everywhere would pray that
it might please the Almighty ruler of the
universe to stay the pestilence and
wthold His avenging band
But Il proposition is now before the
people, sanctioned by the Governor and
advocated by men protesting to love the
State, to affict with civil death twenty
thousand citizens. The adoption Of the
constitutional amendment taking away
the rights of citizenship from twenty
thousand persons will be as grear ca
lamity to the State as ii that number of
citizens were suddenly stricken dead.
While we are making strenuous exer.
tions to prevent the ravages of cholera
ia our midst, should we not make equal
efforts ~ avert the no less calamity
which the adoption of tho proposed
amendment will briug upon the State!

not complied with the provisions Oh lhe

preston that the books will be Kept

pretended by its most jealous advocates
that it gives negroes the right to vote in
the several States. The taking away of
suffrage from large portion of the citi-
zens of State weuld be, in itself, grie'
vous wrong. 1t would be violation oil
the fundamental principle of republican,
ism, and would afford dangerous pre-
cedent for the imitation of political par
ties in the future. 1t would be attended
with serious loss to the State, because so
dear is the right of suffrage to every.
American, that men would not consent
TO remain where they have no voice In
the selection of their rulers and no IN
fiuence in shaping the policy OF their
Government. 1t would drive out actual
settlers. which is, especially in new
State the greatest calamity that can
occnr But the radical leaders in West
Virginia, blinded by partisan malice and
determined to rule, even though they
should ruin the State, are attempting
TO deprive twenty Thousand persons OF
both citizenship and suffrage at single
blow
We can scarcely believe that all inc
members of the last two Legislatures
who voted tor the adoption of this
amendment comprehended the full ex-
tent of the mischief they were doing
We can scarcely entertain the idea that
all those who, in unreasoning obedience
to the dictates of their party leaders, ex-
pect to vote for the ratification of this
amendment on the oath Of May, will do
so with full understanding of its i'm
port. We cannot believe that the PEG
pie of West Virginia will wilfully vote
to take away from twenty thousand
free white citizens of this State the civil
rights which Congress has bestowed
upon the most ignorant and degraded
| negro in the land. Let conservative
men see to it that the people are inform
ed upon this question, that they know
what the proposed amendment means
and what the consequences OF its adop
ton will be, in order that they may not
| ianorantly support measure so utterly
ruinous to the welfare of the S ate.

WHEREAS, The United Service Society
was the first political organization IN the
CITY of New York which, subsequent to
the surrender of the rebel armies and
the end of the war, adopted a platform
endorsing the reconstruction policy OF
President Andrew johnson, as matured
upon the views of the late President
Lincoln and whereas, the present Con
gress, in it's legislative action, has disa-
greed to that policy, and seems to insist
upon conditions being applied which did
not emanate from the people, are disre-
garding the popular sentiment, and
usurping the power to direct instead OF
obeying the duty to carry out the judg,
| ment of the nation; therefore,
Resolved, That we reaffirm the priaci'
pies adopted by US July 10th, 1865, and
in addition thereto, earnestly endorse
the views of the President as exhibited
up to the present time, and invite the
cordial and generous support of all loyal
