Who shall be Governor?

About FIVE hundred gentlemen, more or
less, have been nominated for this position
by their friends-the majority being good
and true men. How the question is to be
settled, is for the people to determine. but
it strikes us that our present material me-
cessities will not admit OF an old fashioned
Virginia political campaign. We suggest
that alIthe candidates, now before the peo-
pie. meet in Convention at Staunton or
Charlottesville, and put two good men be
fore thepeople, aud that the ballance with
draw.
They would represent ali shades Of p3;-
litical opinion; be fresh from the people,
and would certainly be representative
body. No gentleman could push himself
forward. and we believe it would work
we'll. We want good and true man Tor

high heaven and longer deny to Gods
immortal beings the high, the inaliena-
BILE, the God-granted rights which his
immortal Father gave them. Let no
one in the past or in any future age at
tempt to palIiate his offence, either be-
fore an earthly tribunal which is to de-
eide between Gods creatures, or who
is to plead his cause at the bar OF high
er tribunal, venture to insult Divine
Justice by longer pleading his inability
to execute that justice.
We must remember that most of us
are separated from the dread tribunal
occupied by Judge who cannot be de-
ceived by the narrOwest lsthmus that
ever divided time from eternity.
If every citizen of any State is epti-
tied to all the inalienable rights, priv
ilegas, and immunities of this Govern
ment, and if one Of those inalienable
rights is the right to cast his ballot for
every man who is to take part in the
government, show me the man who is
so impudent as to deny that suffrage
by the ballot is due to every being
within this realm to whom God has
given immortality. He must be an
impudent citizen, and ought never to
profess to believe in the existence OF a
Deity for that world could be crea-
ted and governed without an overrul-
ing cause, is more feasible than such a
proposition.

In eleven of the principal cities and
towns of Georgia there were 1879 ne
gro votes polled, and only 107 white
votes. In Albany, Americus, Augusta,
Fort Gaines, Macon, Marietta and
Rome, not a white vote was cast, and
in Savannah and Lagrange only one
each. What farce! What a shame
upon the Radical leaders.
The Radical members of the I'm
parchment Committee are an XiOusly
informing the public that they have
not expressed any opinion upon the
subject. In other words they are pre-
pairing to drop the matter, and want
the "narrowminded blockheads" to
quit agitating that impracticable meas
ure.
Rachel and Mary Jones, the two
maiden ladies of Philadelphia, who
were lately arrested upon a charge of

ards, with a poisoned peach, were dis
charged upon ahabeds corpus, the other

them.
"A Philadelphia Radical organ says
the Democracy of Baltimore refused to
appoint "Plug Uglies" to office, and
that they threaten to vote the Radical
ticket. Very well. They could't grav-
itate to a plug uglier party, and feel
more at home.
"A Radical organ declares that the
Radical New York State Senator
Humphrey, ought to be prosecuted for
selling himself for the paltry sum of
S5OO-thus improperly depressing the
market for Assemblymen.
The following is given as the vote
of Virginia: Whites, 1924; blacks,
93.6j6. For the Convention, 14,S45
whites; 92,5O7 blacks, Against the
Convention, 81 ,249 whites; G39 blacks.

HOW ABOUT THE TARIFF :?

Radical Reconstruction will give the
eleven Southern States, controlled by
Negro votes, 90 Representatives and p
Senators in the next Congress. Under
the next apportiOnment, which will
be made Immediately after the census
of 1870, those States will add at least 30
to the number of their Representatives,
for, then, all the negroes will be count
ed, whereas, heretofore but three .tJthS
ofthem were counted. Now, the in
terests of the South, of the Southern
blacks, particularly, demand low tar
ifs, in fact, free tratle. a tariff on iron
and coal, will be the last measure in
the world, which any of their repre-
sentatives will support. On the other
hand, they will oppose it to the bitter
end. Will the Republicans" who
pretend to be the "tariff men" par e.
cel}ence, please explain how Radical
Reconstruction can fail to injure Penn
sylvania interests?

THE BLACK ART IN POLITICS.

By the disfranchisement of three
fourths Of the white men of the South,
and the enfranchisement of the eman-
cipated slaves, the Radicals hope to
elect the next President. They fear
the loss of the Middle States, most of
the Western States, the Pacific States,
the "Border States" and good portion
of New England. Hence their black
Reconstruction scheme. So long as the
Southern States could not be controlled
in their interest, through the black
vote, they affected to regard them Out
. Ofthe Union. So soon as they can man.
age those States, through negro voters,
they will pronounce them IN the Union.
This may be fairly styled the black art
in politics. 1t is the miserable thim-
ble-r1gging of desperate political jug
glers. With them the Union is the
Little Joker. "Now you see it, and now
you don't see it," But some of the
people who have attended the Radi-
cal show, and paid dearly for back
seat in the pit, are beginning to be
"among the missing"

We remind the people that the Rad
icals, prior to the late election, declared
most solemnly that if Judge Sharswood
would be elected, "greenbacks' would
be- abolished, government bonds would
become worthless, and that the Mary
land militia would invade Pennsylva-
MIA. Sharswood has been elected.
Gold is lower than it was, "green-
backs" consequently, better, bonds
worth as much as ever. and nothing
has been seen or heard of the Maryland
militia. Those who were fooled by
these ridiculous Radical tricks, will,
perhaps, remember these things and
not be quite so credulouS next time.
When the tricksterS of that party, ham,
mer their Chinese gongs, in future,
some people will, in all probability, be
less easily alarmed.

saws that Negro Suffrage must be en-
forced everywhere that suffrage is an
inalienable right, and, therefore, dN
men are entitled to its exercise, and no
man can be deprived of it. If this be
so, how comes it, then, that 100000
white men are at this moment denied
this inalienable right? How comes 1t
that $4,000 white men are not permitted
to exercise it in Pennsylvania. under
the plea that they are alleged to be
'deserters ?" If this right be inaliena-

South have parted with it? Mr.. Ste

the Constitution proposed last year, has
been adopted, Congress has the power
to legislate for the regulation of Stuff

THE BALTIMORE ELECTION.


The municipal and judicial election
in the city of Baltimore took place on
Wednesday last, and resulted in a
glorious, sweeping Democratic victory.
The rule of the plug uglies," and the
wors one of the Radical bayonets, have
ceased, and the people of that down
trodden city proclaim in thunder tones
their deteStation and adherence of
Radical measures, which have well
nigh ruined the country. A few more
such victories throughout the country
and the reign of Radicalism will forev-
er be at an end. The good news is thus
briefly told:
BALTIMORE, Oct. 23.-Themunicipal
