The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1867-07-11

We have heretofore, on more than
one occasion, expressed our gratitica-
ton at the change that was coming over
at least one prominent Virginia news
paper in regard to the congressional
policy OF reconstruction. The Rich
mond FHig is doing valuable service
to the best interests ofthe Virginia peo-
pie by seeking to divest and disabuse
their minds from all false notions and
false hopes in regard to their proper
policy. It Is laboring especially to
warn them against any reliance in the
delusive promises of the Democrat
ic party. Restoration and salvation
can come to them alone through the
Republican organization. We quote
its remarks on this head, as follows:
"What is the Republican party? 1t
represents and Yields the whole pow
er ofthe Government. II Is, TO all in
tents and purposes, the Government.
To oppose 1t is TO oppose the Govern
menI. There is no other party deserv-
ing the name in the United States.
| There Is a feeble faction called the Dem.
ocratic party that cares for itself and
/ nothing else. This moment it would
/ rejoice 10 see the South still further
0
could prevail against the Republican
party. There are still persons who
talk about its fidelity to the South,
| when every one who knows anything,
/ knows that 1t has rendered to the South
no other service than hypocritical
| lip service. 1t inCited us to war under
! the promise of assistance, and then gave
its money and its fighting force to the
armies of invasion. Its boast has been
and now is that without its aid the
South could not have been subjugnted.
These are our friends for whom we are
to sacrifice everything. and TO CON
/ ciliate whose good opinion we are to
huTl ourselves against the Republican
party, the Government, the Union
| Not so, say we. We have nothing
either TO hope or fear from the Demo C.
/ racy of the North. On the contrary,
We have everything to fear from con-
| tinued war upon "the party of the
"Union," and our only hope is in its
favor. 1t dominates over the whole
North, 1t rules every department of the
Government. 1t has the army and the
navy, and is marked by every trait that
, defines supremacy. How is IL at the
| South? It has all the colored popula-
ton, all the original Union men, and is
hourly gaining accretions from the
/ Confederate ranks. The instinct OF
self. representation is impelling the South
ern masses to that 'cO-operation''
which our neighbor of the Enquirer so
delests. The fact is that the people
have at last become convinced that they
| will be utterly ruined without recon.
struction, and have resolved to do
everything that is necessary 10 that end.
They want peace and TepOse; they want
n clear field for industry and enter
prise; they want the protection of their
Government, and, ms necessary thereto,
participation in it."
THESE appeals Of the Wing are not
without their effect upon the Virginia
people. We notice late dispatch from
Richmond stating that a meeting OF
citizens had been held at Louisa Court
House on Saturday last at which reso.
lutions were adopted advising co opera
ton with the Repu blican party, pledg-
/ ing the meeting TO vote for the Repub.
lican cand idate for President, and
for members of Congress from Virgins,
| who have an unbroken Union record
| Clayton, Coleman, James X. Psndleton
| and other Influential citizens were OF
the Committee on Resolutions. A
special dispatch to the Wig says the
meeting was composed of Influential
citizens, and the resolution are to b'
forwarded to both Houses OF Congress
A LETTER from Mooreheld, West Vir'
ginia, says that the wheat crop in that
valley will be the largest and probably
the best in the last ten years. Corn
though little backward, bids fair &c
be full average crop; rye. oats. pota.
toes, grass, &c, are all satisfactory, and
vegetables of every kind are in abund.

for the corn, our people will have album.
dant cause for thankfuluess. To be
sure this section OF the State suffered
less than some others, yet enough was
done to cripple their capacity and pro.
