what nre we Contending For :


We solemnly affirm that there is
nothing on earth more intimately con
nected with the private and public in
terests of every individual in this
country than q full and just apprecia-
ton of the character and vital results
of the approa ching contest. This is es-
sential, not simply, as OF old, to the
formation of an intelligent opinion and
the proper discharge of the public
functions of the citizen, butts necessary
TO the preservation of our liberty, our
persons and our property, and to the
safety of the Government, which was
established to secure these blessings.
Believe Us, this is not overdrawn. Is is
truth which cannot be too strongly
told. nor too vigorously acted upon.
1t is not political but a governmental
contest.
It is not a conflict the issue of which
is to decide rho will administer the
Government, but it is q conflict to de-
eide uhdt sort of a Government IS to be
administered. .,.
It is not a contest simply as to who
shall be President; it is not a contest
between men, Ror even between opln-
ions and measures; but it is conflict
of ideas irreconcilably opposed to each
other: it is a dire collision of two sys'
TENS of government that can never
move in the same sphere.
IL is not one of those light-hearted
lcampaigns, which look only to the
spoiis; here the black flag is lifted, and
il Radicalism goes down, it falls like
Lucifer, never to rise again.
These are propositions which, upon
moments reflection, must be patent to
the plainest mind. And can it be possible
that. feeling and appreciating these
startling facts, one man in ten Will hes
itate as to his action SOL.
We beg our readers to take these Sc
rious facts to heart, and toscatter them
broadcast around them. r. Br
We repeat, the coming campaign Is
not a contest between Grant and OuI
nominee, nor. between Republicanism
and Democracy; it is war t. the knife
between constitutional government and
arbitrary will; between the intelligent
rule of the people governing themselves
and the grinding heel of RELENTLESS
despot; OF the anarchy of mob; be-
tween the chaplet of freeman and the
shackles of slave. -.sagr. z
Judge you between the two, and go
forth to plead and convince while
The day is early and victory before rs,
Ask your neighbors whether the vile
lwretehes who now dishouor the Gov
Eernment shall consummate our eternal
ruin, or whether honesty and pa.
triotism, now driven to Obscurity, shall
come forth to save nsf-CdmpdigH Rec.

West Virginia Legislature
GEXTRA SESSION.
TUESDAY, June 2, l56S.
SENATE.

Pursuant to approximation from the
Governor, the Legislature of West Vlr-
ginia met in extra session to-day for
the purpose of codifying the laws OF
this State.
The Senate was called to order at II
o'clock by the Speaker, Hon. w. b.
STEVENSON, and was opened by prayer
from Rev. Mr.. Fisher, of the First Pres
byterian Church.
After the formula of organizing had
been gone through with, communica-
tion, accompanied with the proclama-
ton convening the Legislature, was
received from the Governor, and read.
The communication referred to the
Legislature as being convened for the
purpose of codifying the laws.
Mr.. CHAPLINE moved that the same
officers elected at the regular session OF
the Senate be retained during the pres
ent session, which motion was unanl-
mously agreed to.
A Joint resolution from the House was
passed raising committee OF elght'
three from the Senate and FIVE from the
House, to report plan for the co!nSId'
Grafton of the code. The Presideft ap.
pointed Messrs. HOKE, FARNSWORTIl
and WILSON as said committee Oh the
part of the Senate.
Mr.. FARNSWORTH offered resolu-
ton, which was adopted, instructing
the Judiciary committee to enquire in
to the expediency of adopting some law
for the sale of lands for the non-payment
of taxes for county and township pur-
poses.
Senate adjourned to meet at two
o'clock p. NJ.
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1868-06-03
Organize. . Orsanize.

Elsewhere we print call for meet
Ing of the Democracy of Barbour coun-
ty, to be held at Phillippi, on Saturday,
June 18th. An accompanying letter as
sures us that the work of organization
in that county will be speedily compile
ted. In spite of the villainous disfran-
chisement of several hundred voters
there, through the military force that
FOREMAN called in, there is no doubt of
the complete overthrow of Radicalism
in Barbour at the next election.
Wesappose that at the meeting refer
red to, delegates will be appointed to the
Grafton Convention which will meet on
the 10th of July. We call upon the
Democrats and Conservatives of other
counties to 90 and do likewise. Amag,
nifcent opportunity for the political
redemption of West Virginia is now
presented. The people are ripe and
ready for a change of rulers. The domi-
nant party has become everywhere
obnoxious. Its nominations excite
ne enthusiasm. Its declarati ons of
principle stir up no feeling. 1t has
proved itself unworthy of trust both as
to its men and measures, and the peo-
pie so regard it. Should it succeed in
this State, at the October elections, an
event which happily is not probable,
its success will be owing exclusively to
want of effort on our part.
We earnestly hope that nothing nee
essary to organization may be omitted
by our friends throughout the State.
You are vastly stronger than your ene-
my to-day, simply through recruits
from his ranks. Almost every man is
aware of changes among his neighbors,
from Radicalism to Democracy. The
process of changing opinion is going
on all over the State, and the accessions
to our ranks count by hundreds. Moth
isg is needed but work. Will the
Democrats and Conservatives of West
Virginia do the work.
