FROM BROOKE COUNTY.

| Heoh DnVOhE SVSN 4.
Editor of the Register: ,....
In your weekly i read communica-
tions. from different counties in West
Virginia, but as yet have not had the
pleasure of reading any from Brooke.
The cause of this, you and your readers
can have your own conjecturing as well
as myself. can safely say, it is not be-
cause we are all Republicans and sim
ners, nor can it be for the want of tai
ent. Franklin vicinity, (the one in
which live, move, and have plenty to
eat,) is one noted for natural intellect,
good morals, wealth, good looking
ladies, women of strong minds, aboli-
tiOnists, negroes, ct cetera. This COM
munity cherishes the memory of Abra-
ham, as one Of old, the great
giant "rail splitter" born in a
log hut, educated in all the sciences
and arts of the day. He is considered
the greatest statesman that ever held
the reins of our once great Republic,
Washington not excepted. Our goner-
GUS peosle here will do anything in or
der to hold supreme authority over a
class they call "Rebels Of the North"
they say to ls, "The war is over, never
mind, it is too late to talk on the ques-
ton, let us extend the hand of friend
ship and be brethren once more" Yes,
and permit them to hold the power,
prevent our party from repres entation,
shut our mouths, keep from the polls,
say nothing, do nothing, but let
their party have their course in
quiet, harmony and peace; then we
would be fine set of men, then would
we prepare for the yoke of tyranny.
This will not do, and if there ever was
a time for the Democratic party to
labor it is now. Let the party show
fearlessly <as does the bright star Brick
Pomeroy) that they despise oppression;
that they were not reared under tyran-
meal form of government; that they do
not favor amalgamatiOn OF the white
and black races; that they abhor man
who will pick mp little things, spoons
for instance. Show the "negrO hOwler'
that the African Gas every one can see)
does not only differ from the European
in anatomical structure, but also in the
chemistry of his blood, muscle and
bone. The most ignorant man can
see the difference in the outer form
of the white man and the black.
If he cannot dissecta body and'analyze
its parts, he can place the wool of the
negro under the microscope aud see that
it is wool, with his own eyes, and that
it is not hair, as grows on the head
of the white man. defy any man to
prove, either by the sacred volume of
God, or by chemistry, that the white
man and the negro are one and the same
flesh and blood. am glad that scien-
tihc men of the white portion of our
race are taking hold of this subject of
the white man and negro being of one
flesh. and blood, and plainly demon
strating that, if science be true. it is q
lie, and that we are not one flesh and
one blood with the "stinkin',
filthy Niger" Scientific men among
the Republicans and sinners know it is
D lie, Why do they longer stay away
from the TRUTH Idonot fault the more
ignorant for holding such an idea, they
are bought up by such men as old Ben,
Thad., Brownlow and Fred Douglass, ct
cetera. Brethren in the same faith, hand
in hand marching on to meet their
brethren, who have gone before, some
where-I wouldn't like to say where,
for think it great pity for such men
Us have limited at (not liking to men
tien names) to die. They are not
righteous enough to reach heaven, and
the devil will certainly quake and
tremble ut the idea of fententaining such
men. They being wiser than devils,
might dethrOne the old gentleman, and
hold supreme power in hell, as on earth.
| am too modest to speak disre-
specially or irreverently of any
man, but what / have just
said believe. / say it isl
high time for the Democratic party
to labor diligently to overthrow the
party in power: am glad to say
Brooke county is doing her share of the
labor; if this is dark vicinity in which
i take notes, tits not the case all over
the county. We expect to have able
candidates out for Office this fall, and
will try hard to elect them. The Re
publican majority is small, notwith-
standing number of Democrats in the
county are disfranchised. The Demo-
cratic party party has been gaining
slowly for three years on the RAIDS in
Brooke, and we have reason to think
that the RAIDS will fall our victim on
the fourth Thursday Of October next.
The Postmaster at Fowler's postoffice has
become reconciled sufficiently to hand
oyer Democratic documents, when call
ed upon. The howl of Union does not
reyerberate from hill to hill as 1t did
three years since, nor are peaceable cit
izens awakened in the midnight hour,
by call to. arms, from the home COW
ards. There are no more presentations
by the fair and patriotic ladies Of
Franklin to the brave boys, with corn
stalks shouldered, of boquets, kiss pa
pers, cakes, pies, menentos to Garry
through the wars ut Wellsburg and
Wheeling. No, these are among the
thiags of the past, and for the credit of
the parties who enlisted in that brave
hand of home carousers, i should not
mention the subject, but somehow /
like to stirup old things sometimes, ex-
ceptirg it is an old smell, or an old
maid, or all old niger of . warm day.
these wish to be delivered from.
Mr. Editor: In speaking of old smells
reminds me nf past wish of mine, ;it is
this: have often wished in my own
mind, that had all the Niger musk in
the United States in one mighty, vessel,
well stopped, and that vessel, in CON-
pany with all the radicals, in one large,
tight chamber, then for some one Just
to pull that stopper out, and feed the
RAIDS on it for twenty-four hours. Twas
going to say it would kill avery one OF
them, but i did not wish that. / want
every one of them to live and do well,
but will say. this, that they would be
convinced that negro blood differed IN
some respect from white.
If this short letter from Brooke does
not find place in your columns hope
il may in your waste basket. aos
