A Good Average.

The Mtelligencer of yesterday crowded
four first-class fictions into two SEN
tences. Here they are:
No. l. That the Democratic platform
declares against the recognition of West
Virginia by Congress.
No.2. That the Democratic candidate
for Vice President does the same thing.
No. >. That every Democratic mem-
Der of Congress is opposed to admitting
members from this State.
No 4. That many of those Democratic
members are so pledged by their decla-
rations.
This is n fine average, considering
that yesterday vas not very good day
for lies. Not one of these declarations
is supported by shadow OF proof. On
the other hand, the military reconstruc-
tion bills, the basis of Radical su-
premacy, declare the Government of
Virginia, which formed West Virginia,
to be null and void. The Radical party
then does deny the legal existence of
this State. So says the record. The In
tclliqeacer denies this. As usual, we have
the IntelHgeRccr on one side and the facts
on the other.
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1868-07-22

THE Radical organ here is powerful
ly pestered because JOHNSON N. CAM
DEN, Esq. and Hon. WILLIAM G. Brown
are bondholders. 1t cannot understand
how men holding Federal securities can
be honest enough to take for them the
same sort of money that other people
are obliged to use. No doubt the case
is knotty one from Radical stand
point, but to men who have a proper
regard for principle and just dealing,
it is nct difficult of solution. CAMDEN
and BIowN do own bonds, aud they give
the strongest evidence of their sincerity
when they trample personal interest
under their feet, and declare that their
bonds, and those of everybody else,
ought to be paid in the lawful money of
the country. Radical bondholders take
the opposite view, and to the selfish
position which they are seen to occupy,
is referable the malice exhibited toward
those Democrats who, as creditors of the
Government, are ready to accept in pay
ment the same kind of money that
passes among the people.

SLANG from n Renegade Rebel.

Bob. BROwN, of Jackson county, who
up to 1864 was bitter, blatant, South
ern sympathizcr, is 4 candidate upon
the Republican ticket, for the position
of ElectOr at Large. In a speech ut Par
kcrsDurg last Saturday night, this man
made an unprovoked, unjustiIiablc aud
Infamous assault upon the officers of
the United States Court Hon. J. j..
JACKSON and Colonel Il. II. SMITH. We
quote from the Cincinnati COmmercj0FS
report:
lie (Brown) gave an account of the pres
ent Judge jackson, of the Federal Court,
appointed by the immortal Lincoln,
who claimed to be so loyal that over
two thousand rebels were indicted be-
fore him by Colonel Ben. Smith, his
Prosecuting Attorney, the late Demo
cratic candidate for Governor. lie de
scribed the fearful threats made against
those men, to hang them for treason, to
coniiscate all their property, soaring
their wives and children up to a point
of phrensy, and then recovering one
hundred dollars each for comPounding
their felonies, and entering nolie pros
eqai in their cases, respectively, for that
snm of money, wrenched from their
friends. The speaker stated those points
persistently, and defed contradiction,
he himself having paid for a friend that
sum of blood-money, and knowing the
same amount to be paid by all Others.
We do not quote This for the purpose
of denial. AS against such men as Judge
JACKSON and Colonel SMITH, the out
rageous accusation of Compromising a
felony" needs no refutation before the
people of the State. We merely repro
duce it to show the character of the
men to whom the Radical party is COM
PEELED to look for its leaders, and to say
that it will sink too low for the associa-
tion of respectable people, if it obey
the teachings of man, who would
murder reputation for the applause of
a mob, and who but follows the in
stincts of a genuine traitor to his coun-
try, when he becomes oblivious to decen-
cy, and foe to truth.

"Loyalo Rebels.

Our city cotemporary the ether day,
wanted to know the name of one man,
just one, who had aided the rebellion,
and baF' subsequently been &C
tive in enforcing the proscrip-
tive laws of this State. We cheer
fully supplied the information want
ed, and rendered the name of NAT
HARRISON, 4 distinguished Radical
scounlrel, who after taking numerous
oaths to support the Confederacy, came
into West Virginia, swore substantially
that he had never taken one, and has
since inspired and conducted the most
merciless and villainous course of per
secutiou against the people of the Ninth
Judicial District, that ever disgraced
a respectable community. We presume
our neighbor will let his readers know
that he has receive ed the desired infor-
nation.
To the name of MAI. HARRISON, we
desire to add that of another illustr.-
Gus son of "loyalty"-E. b. HALL, who
in the position of Judge, to which he
was never elected, has prescribed the
people of the Eastern Panhandle with
rigor and meanness second enly to
that shown by NAT. HARRISON in the
Greenbrier Valley. This man was in
the Richmond Convention, and when
the Union men from Western Virginia
left that body, remained behind. He
voted for Representatives to the rebel
Congress then sitting at Montgomery,
voted military command to General
LEE, voted supplies ia troops in the re-
bellion, and voted in other ways, which
we cannot recall, to aid and strengthen
that rebellion. He is now distinguish
ed apostle of "loyalty" and quite indus
trious in disfranchising the people over
whom he was placed by fraud and foul
dealing. Does our neighbor want any
more such illustrations II so, we can
give them, ad aauseam.

That's gone,"l and lands that cas now
be bought at from five TO ten dollars an
acre because they have been laid waste
by war and this radical policy, then
could not be bought for less than fifty,
seventy-hve or one hundred dollars an
acre.
Have you any idea of the impoverish,
ment of the Southi Let me mention
one thing, which speaks without any
mistake at all. 1t is this fact: that We
have the most inquisitorial, searching
and veXatious tax system under the
Federal Government that any people
ever saw. 1t fellows q man wherever
he goes; it inquiries about every thing
he has. If his wife has made q pound
of butter, it demands that that shall be
put down as income. If the old grand
mother plucks goose, and sells it to
the merchant, to get the luxury OF q
little tea, not only the poor old goose,
but the feathers must be taxed. These
inquisitorial men have valued this
country from one end to the other, to
tiud every particle they could possibly
tax. And how much have they found in
the Southera States'
They have found so little property
there that the State of Ohio pays more
than five millions of taxes to the Fed
eral Government beyond the entire
amount Of taxes paid in the Southern
States. The county of Hamilton, Mr..
Pendleton's own county, paid Sll, 200
more taxes the last fiscal year, into the
Treasury of the United States, than
eight of the Southern States. Now,
great God, what 4 picture does that
present of the impOyerishment of these
Southern States. 1t tells more than
anything else can do. There are these
harpies of Uncle Sam ransacking that
country everywhere for something to
tax, and they can find in all these ten
States less than in Ohio alone. ["Give
us the Union."l Yes, my friends, give
us Democratic policy; that will not
only restore union of territory, but
union of the hearts of the people.
Those are men of our own race.
Say to them ''you fought for what you
thought was 4 right cause, but we did
not. We conquered you IN battle, Tor
we had the strength, and you submitted
like honorable men in good faith;
hcnceforth, then, and forever let us be
good friends. [ Loud applause. ] Hence
forth and forever, yon shall have the Sc
curity of the Constitution of the United
States; the security of the law; the Sc
curity and majesty of the Government.
You shall have this protection" Say
that to this people, and they will have
heart 10 20 to work; and that land,
now desert and poverty-strickcn rs it is,
will soon blossom as once it did, and
richness and prosperity be seen from
one end of the land to the other.
