Commence at Once.

We cannot urge too strong y upon the
conservative men of the various counties
in the Stale the Importance OF lmmedl-
ate and complete organization. We
must leave ne stone unturned to redeem
our State this fall. The work must com
mence with individuals. Each man who
desires to see the blghting curse OF
radicalism removed from West Virginia,
must be willing to devote some portion
Of his time and labor to secure that end
Let him talk with his neighbers upon
political subjects; aid in circulating con
sentative newspapers and other docu-
ments; assist in holding meetings at
which thu questions of the day msy be
discussed; make a complets list Of
the conservative voters in his own town
ship; see that all are properly rcgistered
and, finally, see that all vote. We can
easily elect oug entire ticket, if all the
conservative mcu in the State who can
comply with tho provisions of the regis.
tration act eau be induced to do so and
to vote But in order to accomplish this,
individuals in every community must ut
once 90 to work and and labor on to the
end The result aimed at is dUubly
worth all the work it will cost. We trust
that our friends throughout the State
into whose hands this paper may come,
will at once act upon the suggestions we
have made and put in motion the machin
cry which cannot fail to give our cause
success.

The "Souihern LoyaIisr, elephant

The Southern Loyalist's" Convention
in Philadelphia seems likely to prove II
very troublesome Elephant on the hands
of the Northern radicals. The members
of that Convention who hal! from the
South, having no constituents aud repre-
senting nobody but themselves, and be-
ing moreover already sunk so low in pop
ular estimation that they fear no fur thel
descent, can afford to be intensely rldi
cal and 60 the whole figure without any
dread of unpleasant consequences. They
therefore seem determined to resolve in
favor Of negro suffrage, negro equality
and all the other dogmas of advanced
and progressive" radicalism. Men like
JACK HAMILTON, of Texas, and BROWN
LOW and STOKES, OF Tennessee, can
scarcely, no matter what atrocious de
clarations they may now make, bring
upon themselves greater share of pop.
ular contempt than that in which they
are already buried.
But the radical party in the North has
already, and of its own accord, commit
ted itself irrevocably to the policy
marked out by these Southern despera,
does. 1t has sent delegates to meet and
welcome these pseudo 'loyalists," and
these Northern delegates have commit.
ted the fortunes of their party to tho
keeping of the irresponsible aud desper.
ate men who have been spewed out from
the South. The radical party at the
North, West Virginia delegation and all
has been swallowed up by the Southern
adventures who have no constituents
to outrage or dread, and must now abide
the consequence 1t will be of no avail

ing. At an early hour the building was
filed to its utmost limits by a joyous
gathering of the Turner's, their families
and friends. The large attendance OF
citizens of native birth showed how
highly the exercises of the Festival are
appreciated by al classes of our people,
The orchestra having given the ever
ture in an admirable manner, it was an
nounced by DIR. j. G. Eberhard, that
Mayor Sweeney was prevented, by abb
sence from the city, from taking part in
the exercises of the occasion. Heread q
telegram from the Mayor, expressing his
regret at being unable to attend ano
tender the strangers the assurances OF
welcome which he had expected to OK
tend. DR.. Eberhard then delivered the
salutatory address, which evidently
gave great pleasure to the hearers, as it
did honor to the speaker. Following
the address, the other parts OF the pro-
gramme were presented in their regular
order, and were interrupted only by the
applause of tho delighted assemblage.
We regret that we cannot make special
mention of the abilities of the various
performers. When all was excellent 1t
would seem invidious to indulge in spe-
cial praise, and we can only express our
gratifed appreciation of the merits OF
all the singers. We append the evening

Southern Arrogance.

While the Copperheads are clamorins
alike for the unconditional restoration OF
the rebels to power and against the civil
rights bill, no Union soldier can forget
tha, scenses like those described below,
in a recent letter to the Cincinnati Ga
zette, are transporting:
"The white people Of Augusta, as we'll
as other points South, having recently
made great parade in decorating the
graves Of the rebel dead with flowers,
while the graves of Uuion soldiers were
passed coId!y by, the colored people OF
Augusta determined yesterday to repair
the commission. Accordingly they asem-
bed at one of their school houses near
the cemetery with flowers, wreaths and
Sapaers. Their teachers, white and
black. accompanied them. and in peace
full procession they marched to deposit
their offerings upon the graves of the na-
tious dead A more touching spectacle
and one which will appeal more forcioly
to every human heart, was seldom seen,
but incredible to tell, the procession vas
met at the gates of the cemetery by tie
mayor of the city aud strong force of
police, snd despite the remonstrances of
Captain Bryant, the entreaties OF the
teachers and tears Of the poor negroes,
was steruly refused admission"

ORGANIZE.

The Union ranks in this section are un-
broken and unwavering, and We believe
that no appeals to cupidity or ambition
can tempt men who voted for Andrew
johnson, to share his treachery now at
any price, Ia the ruunirg sores Of great
cities such men can be found any day
men who are but political camp followers
and without hope of pretermcnt save
when public fuuctionary degrades HIM
self to their level; but the county is
sound to the core, aud with prompt and
proper efforts on the part of Union men
To their respective districts, the political
fbrokers Of johnson and Cowan will pur-
sue their new vocation without success.
A few Union journals iU the State are in
leading strings by their official positions
conferred by President Lincoln, and fail
to expose the perfdious assaults now be-
ing made against the integrity and unity
of our organization but, with a single
unimportant exception in the State, not
one has espoused the cause of the arch
apos:ats of our civil history
Thus threatened by treachery and con
fronted besides by the same foe We have
had 20 meet and vanquish in other con
tests, the work of the Union party is one
demanding the most sleepless vigilance
and unity of action If We shal! tail to
perfect organization at an early day, there
is danger of Generalization and defeat
would be the inevitable result To avert
these periis, we appeal to the Union men
Of every election district to devote them
selves at once to systeMatio organization
Let US have Geary clubs in every town
ship or town of this county and Cougres
sional district, aud the work once thus
commenced will give US decisive victory
as the reward for our labors. If We de
lay organization, when the day Of battle
comes, We will be measurably at the mercy
sof the foe Until our ranks are closed up
and organization is effected. Bear in
mind that the co-ruptioni>ts are tireless
in their efforts They are daily present
ing false issues to mislead the people, and
the only assurance OF safety is in the Tor.
nation of clubs and committees to dis>em
mate truth so Ireeiy that error cannot pre-
vail against it.
Union men! Victory is ours to accept
or reject, Immediate, thorough or.ani
cation will insure our triumph-iudolence

Having saved the Republic from the
deadly grasp of treason by the cruel sac
