We are panied to perceive the demon
alization of the Enquirer. Recent events
have been too much for it, Mr. Senator
Hendricks says it has been subOrned,
that it is run by soldiers of fortune and
controlled by the whisky ring. General
McClernsnd, out OF stupidity afOre
thought, exposes the dangers in Ohio by
publishing Mr.. Pendleton's pitiful dis
patch. General Sam. Cary is astride its
unfortunate back. Gov. Horatio Sey-
mour has been cramn,ed down its nm
willing throat. The amiable Vallan-
Iigham has been visited upon it. No
wonder symptoms Of distress begin to
appear.
| But what are we to think of its utter
abandonment of its patent-righted doc
trine of salvation by greenbaeks? Here
has been the Convention of Puritan
Democrats in BOstQn, sueeriug 1T the
World for deoryin9 Grant, snubbing
Frank Rlair about his programme lor
revolution, and, worst of all, laughing
Pendletou and the Enquirer to scorn US
follows:

Is the only constitutional legal tender;

chusetts now, az in the past. are true to
their old faith in hard money, and de-
mand it be restored 10 the people ut the
earliest moment consistent with the in
terests of the business and labor oil the
country.
So utter is the. decentralization of the
Enquirer that T. is appeares, headed

alackaday! Must then the OLD ppitaph
be inscribed over the famous greciIhack

owing to bad weather we had a small

The Union party seems very much

We have Union majority notwith-
standing the late registration OF about
$50, and feel confident that Grant will
carry the county by about that majority.

The PreAs of other States on West
Virginia.

We reproduce this morning "a num-
Der OF articles from our exchanges In
other States touching our recent State
election. No election that we have
ever held here excited anything like the
interest taken in this. We trust our
friends abroad, who appear to under
stand pretty we'll what we have had to
contend against, will now set West
Virginia down rs fast anchored to low
atty, and will no longer be afraid TO
come into our borders with their capital
aud enterprise md help build us up
into such commonwealth as our nat
ural resources intend us 10 be.
We print these comments of our
neighbors because we presume our
West Virginia readers will like TO
know what other people think of them,
We do not accept or endorse every
thing thus copied as true. whether It
be commendation or censnre, We
leave our readers to be their own
judges. An article or two copied copied
last week (Which we meant TO accom-
pany with some commentsAt the time |
but neglected it contained some severe
and we think unmerited reflections
on the present West Virginia dele.
CATION in Congress. The people of our
State, so far as we have ever heard
have no fault TO find, excepting Mr..
Van Wrinkles course in regard to I'm.
peachment, with their present delega-
ton In Congress. Nor can our friends
elsewhere find any just ground to GEMS
ure them. With the exception OF that
Senator they have been among the
hrmest and most constant Republicans
IN Congress. The papers which indulge
his censure are too sweeping. They !
'harge all with the fault of one. Prob.
lbly they .confound portion OF our .
delegation in the S9:h Congress with !
hat ofthe 10th. Two out. of that delega- I
ion were shaky and finally went over s
o johnson for the sake of Office. We ?
lave no defense TO make TOR Messrs. a
Latham and Van Wrinkle.
But we should like our friends abroad. d
they mean these gentlemen, to re. y
lember that only one of them is in the "
resent West Virginia delegation in Il
ongress, and what may be true OF that a.
ne is by no means true of the rest.
