The Fortieth Congress.

The Fort Wayne Times thus arraigns
the Fortieth Congress at the bar pub
lie opinion:
1t is stated by those who have the
means of knowing, that the Fortieth
Congress has cost the country about a
million and half of dollars. And du-
ring all that time, may it please our
Republican opponents, phGt good did
this costly Congress dot There comes
but one answer: NOTHING! Then, may
it please our Republican opponents,
tchat harm did this Congress dol Let us
see:
1t spent weary months in preparing
and investigating charges of impeach
ment against Andrew Johnson, Presi
dent of the United States-resulting in
his scquittal.
1t spent much time in the establish
meut of negro suffrage and negro su-
premacy in ten States of the Union
disfranchising the whites thereln-to
enable the Republicans to control the
political complexion of those States.
1t spent months in discussing the
continuance of the Freedmen's g Bureau,
political machine in the interests Of the
Republicans, costing the country more
than q hundred million of dollars per
aunum.
1t spent much time in discussing and
devising propositions to muzzle the Su-
preme Court of the United States, to
prevent decision by that tribunal re-
| garding the constitutonality of its re-
construction acts.
1t spent much time in investigating
contested election cases-ousting legal
" elected Democratic mem bers and
awarding their places to their Republi-
can competitors.
1t spent much time in discussing the
Electoral College Bill-a measure to ex-
clude certain States from voting in the
Presidential elcction-hecause forsOoth!
those States would have voted for the
Observation-Disclosures.
In fine, it spent much time in passing
sundry epactments-river and harbor
bills, deficiency bills, and what not! but
not single act looking to the ameliora-
tion of the overtaxed people of the
country. Every thing from the beginning
to the end of the session tended to the
interest of the bondholding aristncracy,
the elevation of the negroes and de-
graduation of the whites. The Repnbli-
cans have shown an incapacity to legis-
late for the good of the people of the
whole country. They have trIhrd with
the best interests of the people and Civ
en- them "stones for bread"

FELLOW CITIZENs:-You all know
how unfairly the registration has been
conducted in this State; how the Board
of Registration in Jefferson county was
removed by telegraph for doing its du-
ty, and anotker appointed in its place
to execute the behests of the Governor,
and in other counties large classes of
our citizens have been disfranchised
without law or precedent, and yet how
patiently and uncomplsiningly the peo-
pie have borne it, and how untrue the
charge is that "the DISTINGUISHED rebels
threaten to vote az all hazards" and
we all know how much the interests of
the State have suffered by the reports
that have gone abroad from time to
time, that we were lawless and insub-
ordinate people, and that it is necessary
TO keep troops stationed among us to
preserve order. Whenever a company
of troops is sent to this State, or de-
mand made for them in Washington, it
is telegraphed and published all over
the country, and West Virginia is set
down as desperate and lawless State,
where it is unsafe to live.
Is this true i-and are we doing our
selves justice by upholding and sustain
ing in office a party who have no regard
for the interests and prosperity of the
State Where is there any insurrec-
tion against the laws of the State, or
har 10 10
that "a guilty conscience needs no &C
cuser." The Radical leaders are alarmed
and feel that the State offices are pass
ing from them unless they can control
the people by arbitrary force and they
know, to do more than has yet been
done would be such an outrage and
wrong to the people that their con-
sciences are making towards of them,
and they call for bayonets against the
quiet people. They mean violence, the
people of West Virginia do not.
Fellow citizens, will you sustain such
a course to the ruin of your interests
Will immigration come amongst us7
Will any person buy our landsi Will
any one invest money in our State 7
Will our own people stay here if they
eau peJ away III any FuullO iAl-
provements be projected 7 Will not the
roads through the country grow up and
become bride paths, and our towns be
deserted unless this policy is stopped,
and confidence and respectability re-
stored to our State.
If you believe we are a lawless and
insuberdinate people, and should be
by military rule, vote for the |
Radical State ticket, and it will be
continued year after year to retain
power. If you believe we are a law
abiding and free people, entitled to the
confidence that brings population and
prosperity TO the State, vote for the
Conservative ticket and you will need
no more soldiers.
Decide for yourselves which is best,
for the choice is with you.
Very respectfully,
J. n. CAMDEN.

Editors of the Register:
The Board of Registration met on
Monday morning last and: though the
attendance and obvious determination
Of the people were undated, the Board
proceeded to business. They first an
nounced that they would not admit any
lawyers into their presence. Next they
declared that none of the notices di-
rected to Lincoln township (5S in num-
ber) had been returned, and that there
fore the parties notified in that town
ship need not attend as they weuid re-
main upon the Registry. They then
proceeded to the trial of cases from
Grant township and have shown de-
gree of fairness which greatly relieves
the apprehension of the people. On Tues
day their action was not much COM
planned of, although in one case, at
least, very uDjustitiable. Wednesday
afternoon seventy-tive soldiers arrived
from Washington, and are encam3ed in
the outskirts of the town. Their pres
epee creates no excitement whatever,
and if the Radicals feel any relief or
aay additional security, everybody will
be gratified. The soldiers are said to
be all for Seymour and Blair, except
three. They are of those, we under-
stand, whose votes were rejected at the
late municipal election in Washington
City.
Their coming is perhaps due to the
fact that on Saturday evening last,
some malicious person "a Radical
doubtless), put in circulation a foolish
rumor that four hundred Ku-Kluxs were
marching on Fairmont. Every man
and woman, of ordinary good sense,
knew that the story was false. But the
scare that ensued was of the most lu-
dicreus character. There was general
rush to arms. The terrified Radicals
busted themselves in furnishing up old
muskets and revolvera, and one sage
Radical, with bald scalp, was heard
to say that she would leetle rayther
the Ku.Klux would come than not"
Bot they came not, and thus rare
piece of history was incontinently
spoiled.
This morning "all is quiet" on the
Yours,

A ISLANDER Nailed.

The Radicals in their desperation
have trumped up an Infamous slander
against j. n. CAMDEN, Esq, our candi-
date for Governor, and have procured a
low fellow named GRAHAM from Bur-
ming Springs to swear to 1t. Mr.. CAM
DEN completely upsets the whole affair
in published card which we give be-
low. Nothing short of the certainty of
his election could have driven the Rad
icals to the reckless slander through
which he let's daylight:
To the People OF West Virginia.
Ny attention has been called to the
following affidavit published in the
Parkersburg Times ofthe Sth inst:
BURNING SPRINGS, October 2.
Some time in the year 1861, being in
the employment of Camden, Burns &
Co, j. n. Camden said i'll my pres
ence that he was against the damned
Yankees aud we'll they knew it, and ifhe
had money, or was able, he would keep
up rebels in the war until every damned
Yankee was killed in the United States.
And he then said to me "why in the
hell amt you in the Southern army 7
That is the place for you to be-" l
asked him, the said Camden, why he
was not in the Southern army I and he
said "his business was so it did not suit
him." and at different times afterward,
and for years after still, he had similar
conversations in my presence and with
me. WM. =. GRAHAM

Wm. p. Graham, personally appeared
before me, John b. ellsworth, a Justice
of the Peace, and made oath TO the
above writing, this Sd day of October,
lS6S. VIM. L. GRAHAM.
J. B. ELLSWORTH, Justice.
As the Radical party had not up to
this time made any charges against me,
l was not surprised that on The eve OF
the election some report should be in
vented and circulated TO have its effect
on the day of election, when too late to
be contradicted. But | an surprised
that means so base and an Instrument
so low should have been resorted TO, as
this certificate and its author. Fabrl-
cations gotten up for effect on the eve
of election, are usually plausible and
decent; this has not the merit of either
In the first place, all who know me,
know that have never been III the hab'
it of using such language as IS there at
tributed To me.
In the second place, it becomes pro-
( per for me to say that this man Gra-
ham is vagabond of the lowest char
acter, and that wherever he is known
| his statements would be wholly unwor-
thy of credit. He is not only man OF
bad moral character, but has frequent
fits of insanity. On one occasion he at
tempted 10 kill his child at BarninG
Springs; which was only prevented by
| its being rescued by those present. On
another occasion he attempted to take
his own miserable life by drowning
and last winter was confined under the
charge of ofinsauity, for violence TO his
family. These facts are generally
known, and must have been within the
knowledge of those who used the
means to obtain the certificate.
The certificate says the language was
used in his presence, implying that
there were others present, II so why
was not the certificate of some respeeta'
BILE man obtained instead of reSorting
to this degraded lunatic to assall me
| not only state that the charge made
| in the certificate is untrue IN every par
ticular, but will add that l never fur
nished dollar to any man IN the Con
| federate service, and that during the
whole war my character and conduct
was so unexceptionable and satisfactory
that ,cas perer required 10 take an oath
subjoin the following letters kindly
furnished me, the latter signed one-hali
by Republicans and the other half by
Conservatives:

Perseyere-Is the Word.

We are gaining ground although
working as party against fearful odds
against a party sustained by the
wealth of the country, and managed by
INSCRIPTIONS leaders, who stop at moth
ing, and spare no expense to obtain
their ends, the chief of which is to con-
that they may carry on their unconsti-
tutional measures, continue ther spolla-
tions and make themselves complete
masters of the people. 1t is difficult to
arouse men, in general: to full appre-
citation of the political dangers which
surround the present Radical system of
government; yet we have accomplished
something in showing to the country,
that in tue three great States of Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana, nearly one
half Of ali the voters, and perhaps fully
half of all the legal voters in the States
stand firm in opposition to the Radlca
| sch emes and schemers.
The possession of so many of the Office:
of the country, and the advantage o.
| large menied means have been in favor
of the Radical side, and the Democratic
party has had to coHteAd against these
pow CIlul tLuo III pNpuAdi OiSS''Oho' "
where now are the immense triumphant
majorities that the Radicals boasted o
few years ago. The State of New
York, single, indeed, will wipe GU
double the combined majorities claimed
10y the Radicals in the States of Ohio
Pennsylvania, and Indiana. Our part!
has made glorious fight, and our mot
to must be "Pe.severe." We are gain
ing ground, ia regard to that there cal
be no possible mistake, and we mus
fight on, fight ever, till we secure th'
eventual triumph of Democratic princi
pies.
Let November show that while the
Democracy have done well, and
achieved some glorious successes IL
! October, we can do better at the Presl
dental election in November. Will
nearly all the people in the South ant
balf the people of the North in favor o
Democratic men and measures, 1t car
only be question of time when thl
country must be raled by Democratic
principles, ard when Radicalism vii
cease and our land shall have peace

SIR Having seen the certificate of
VIM. z. Graham, published in the Par
kersburg Times of the sth inst, con-
tanning statements against you, and
knowing how utterly unworthy of
credit any statement is coming from
him, and how unfair it is to assail the
character of any respectable man by an
instrument so low and unreliable, We
deem it our duty without distinction of
party, to state, that from our knowl-
edge sf the said VIM. 2. Graham, he is
unworthy of belief, both from bad
moral character and from fits of insani-
ty arising from excessive drunkenness.
You are at liberty to use this COM
munication as yOu may deem proper.
