THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY.

the Baltimore, Gazette says that the
annals of Congress, the papers on file
in the Departments, and the columns of
its own journals, will bear us out in as
sorting that the Republican party has
been one OF treachery and deceit from
the beginning. Its power has been
built up on falsehood. Its first gigantic
falsehood was that the war waged a.
gainst the South was for the restoration
of the Union and for no other purpose.
its latest is, that the privilege of the
ballot ais essential to the protection OF
the negro against the wiles of the most
wicked institution that God ever affiict-
ed uan with, or that ever could exist
through the invention of human inge-
nuity." For six years it has been build
lug UP its power-not by argument, not
by reason, but by succession of frau
dulent pretences, by an organized sys-
tenn of terrorism, and by an unscrupu-
lous resort to that uHimaratio regun,, the
tree use of the sword. 1t ruling prin-
ciple throughout has becna lust of pow
er. Lies, rapine and murder have been
its instruments; ''loyalty" its catch
word, and corruption is binding force.
1t has worked on the credulity of some,
the cupidity of others. Known dishon-
es.y was no bar to official preferment,
for Radicalism purified the knave and
sanctifed the by pocrite. Beyonda few
sincere fanatics there is not man of
the party who cares for the blacks ex-
cept as political puppets that can be
made to respond as their inscriptions

sit is not intelligence we want, but
numbers" said well known politician,
and in this bold avowal may be found
the Key note of all the .p@ans sung or
chanted by Radical orators and Radical
journalists in praise OF the negro. "lf,'
saws the Tribune, ''the negro is not fit to
vote, he is not fit to be free, and the on
iy choice of the American people is this
suffrage for both races, or servitude
for one" SO, in happy accordance
with this view of the political equality

reed that the blacks of the South shall

THE CONVENTION.

J The doings of this body, claiming TO
be a Convention of the people of Viz
giHia, are growing odious every
day Tney have now entered INTO all
ihlamous systeni Of gerrvmander.-
Knowing their Inability to carry the
State upon general tic6et; or, in 9TH
er words, to command a ma jority of all
the votes, they have changed the APP
portIonment of delegates and senators
in the Legislature so as to secure a
commanding majoritysin both Houses.
With us, the Governor has no veto pow
er and the Legislature Is supreme :
TO secure the legislative body is there
fore the paramount object of this par
ty. The better to subserve this object
they have increased the number of del
egates in counties where the black ele-
lnent predo inmates. and diminished 1t
tnthosee counties where. the whites hold
undoubtcd majority. For instance
Campbell county and Lyncliburg, now
represented by the negro kelso, and
his worthy eompeer, the shabby Will
hanson, are to have three delegates in
the Legislature Instead OF two as to
heretofore; while Frederick county,
that has always had Two delegates is
to have but one. This county Is repre-
sented in the Convention by a conser-
Yatiye, and has large white majority.
We take these two counties simply to
illustrate a principle. In addition
they have increased the number of del
egates to the Legislature largely above
what it was before the infamous par
tition of our State. When Virginia ex-
tended from the sea coast to the Ohio
the representation in the House oil, Dell
egates was about 150: under the new
apportioument, with one-third of the
State gone. we are to have 177 dele
gates in the lower branch of Assembly
We do not wonder that Judge Snead;
a Republican, but man of some sense
and property, protested against sthe
lavish expenditures of public money
lnyolvedin fixing the number of dele
gates at l7S. according to the report
of the committee. The Legislature
under this pportionment, will cost per
day $l,416 and session of ninety days
$l27 ,240."5 And Allen who expects
probably to.accumulate some property
here, spoke in opposition to the enor-
nous taxation which would be entailed
upon property-holder of the state for
the purpose of making Offices for the
benefit OF the lately enfranchised peo-
pie of the State. ''l' 5si'. =
With these facts before them our peo-
Pile will be the yeriest dolts that ever
lived under the sun, if they do not band
themselves to man against the work
of this body of adventtlrers who are
trying to make offices for the Baynes,
Kelsoes, Wiillalnsons, and other adj
yenturcrs, to be supported at :the pub
lie expense. -Lynchberg Virginian.
