But estimates and comparisons are of little
account. What is wanted above all else IS
downright, earnest ,rork-work by day and by
night, work without ceasing-until the close of
the polls on Tuesday next. Let no Republican
relax a single nerve. The battle is broader
and more important than the State and its
home issues; it is the "first gum OF the
great Presidential campaign; it is the first
opportunity afforded the people to ex-
press their opinions upon the momentous
questions now agitating the country. a
Democratic victory would dspirit and to some
extent demoralize the Union forces; rousing
Republican victory would close up the ranks
from the st. John to the Rio Grande, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and inspire an enthu-
siasm that would increase until the crowning
triumph in November should end forever the
worn -out and worthless Democratic organlza-
ton.

Governor Curtin ON seymour.

Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, is
well known as n persistent and very
bitter Republican. His testimony
ought to be good in Radical estimation
In reply to inquiries with regard to llo'
ratio Seymour, short time ago he said
"Well, sir, if were asked to mention q
man who, In my estimation, possessed
the attributes of perfect gentleman, q
cultivated scholar, thorough states
man and sincere Christian, would,
without hesitation, name Horatio Sey-
mour, of New York; "How about Sey.
mours loyalty 7" "After the dispatches
that / sent Seymour at the time of the
rebel raid in Pennsylvania" replied the
Governor, ait would hardly become me
to impugn his loyalty; the fact is,
have never doubted it. | understand
that Belmont is having all the dispatches
sent by Stanton and myself printed, and
| have no doubt they will be i'll the
hands of every Democratic stump
speaker through the campaign. We
had better give up attacking Seymour's
loyalty, for the opposition hold the
trump card in that matter"
How different this is from the Jaco-
bin penny dogs who are daily barking
after Mr.. Seymour. We don't know that
the mere fact that gentleman is on the
Democratic ticket gives every Radical
blackguard full liberty to abuse him
However, as these rasCals belong to the
"decency party" we presume they car
do as they please. Better draw the Cur

From the following article, clipped
from the Jefferson County Free Press, it
will be seen that there is one scoun-
drel left among the Registrars of the
State. 1t is to be hoped that the Gov
ernor will promptly see that his officers
in Jefferson county execute the law. II
the Radicals have the handsome major.
ity in this State they boast of, they can
certainly afford to execute this very un-
just law honestly aud fairly:
Though Monday last was the day fixed
for the registration of voters IN this
county, there was no Registrar to be
found in Charlestown, and numbers of
citizens who were on hand to register
were compelled to return to their homes
without doing so. This failnre to have
a Registrar was, no doubt, one of the
tricks of the Radicals, who, in state OF
desperation, are resorting to all sorts OF
measures to secure the success which
they already begin to feel is doubtful
The appointed Registrar, being Of
conrse in league with the rest of his
party, neither accepts or declines
the post, but simply fails to be on hand
at the proper time, and thereby aids in
keeping oat number of votes which
would be cast in favor of the Conserva.
tive candidates. 1t is a poor, paltry
piece Of chicanery, transparent as day.
light, and of a piece with all other de-
vices of the party to defraud the people
OF the exercise of the franchise.
The sooner party which can only
sustain itself by such means is blotted
from existence and its leaders consigned
to an infamous and shameful oblivion
the better for the credit of the natior
and the welfare of the people.

Maine.

On Monday next the annual State
election takes place in Maine. Both
parties are exerting themselves to the
utmost, and an increased vote over last
year is positively claimed by both. In
1854 the Radical majority for President
was 2O,sl7, and in 1866 the majority fol
the same party was 1850. Last year
the Radical majority fell down to II ,342
owing to the following causes set forth
in the New York World: a,
A Radical Legislature had passed q
most odious liquor and constabulary
law which disgusted very large por,
tion of the people. SO high did feeling
run against it that few Republican:
voted with the Democrats, while thou
sands did, not vote at all. This was
made the chief issue of the canvass
The result so startled the Radicals that
the new Legislature, at the session last
winter, amended the law so as to elimi'
nate its most obnoxious features, in the
hope of regaining for their party the
votes it lost last September. An exam
ination of the vote since 1864, as given
in the following table, will present the
matter in clearer light.

TWELVE millions in August for the
expenses of the Radical standing army
in the South A mere bagatelle! A
matter of no consequence. What's a
million of dollars to the people of the
United States to-dayi 1t used to be re-
garded as pretty big sum, but since
the Radicals have been piling up the
natisnal debt by thousands of millions,
it has come to be regarded as a mere
nothing. What does the workingman
care if he has to pay sixteen dollars fol-
a barrel of flour. or three times as much
for house rent as he formerly did 7
What does the taxpayer care If his
taxes are doubled and trebledf Are We
not getting along swimmingly' Who
cares for expenses nowf Are we not
rich and prosperousf Is not busi
ness hourishingi Is not manufacturing

lions, or ten millions' Is not "a nation
al debt q national blessingi" OF course
il is, for the Radicals tell US so. Ac-
eording to their logic, the bigger the
debt the bigger will be the blessing
oh, what blessed people we are. Pile
up the blessings.

Dou't Pay any Taxes.

Some of the Radical stumpers who
have thus far kept out of the way of
the "fool-killer," are still deceiying
themselves with the belief that the peo-
pie can be hoodwinked by being told
that the poor man pays no taxes. The
Indianapolis Sentinel, in commenting on
An assertion of that kind, says:
ave would like some of these gentle
men to tell us who paid the sl63, 900, 900
in gold, levied and collected upon i'm
port during the last fiscal year. Does
the poor man use no coffee, no sugar, no
tea, no salt, no cotton, calico and wool
en- cloths to elothe himself, his wife and
his children; or do these Radicals think
that the peor men go without toed and
clothing, and allow their child
rem to go about nakedi In the good
old times of Democracy, coffee was
bought at twelve and half cents and
the price of coffee now is twenty-five
cents. The difference between the price
then and the price now is the amount
every poor man pays to the Govern
ment, on every pound of coffee he
and his family consumes. Aud so OF
tea, sugar, salt, and indeed all the nec-
essaries of life which are imported.
Every cup of tea is taxed, every spoon.
ful of sugar is taxed; every pound Of
salt is taxed; every fibre of clothes upon
the back of the poorest man that lives
is taxed, and the grand aggregate Of
these taxes amounts in ono year to the
enormous amount of one hundred aud
sirty- three millions Of dollars in gold :
And ye: the sHub-nosed, Goldfish aristo-
Gratis of Radicalism toss their heads dis
dainfully at the idea that the poor man
is taxed.
Again, who paid the $4,000, ,000, 900 in
currency levied upon home industry and
received into the Federal Treasury dur
ing the last fiscal ycari Do these fell
lows not know that every time poor
man buys even box OF matches he
pays a cent to the Government And
so almost everything that he is conf
PEELED to purchase. Your deeds and
your mortgages, your notes and
your receipts, are taxed. The glass OF
beer that the poor man drinks to re.
fresh tired nature at the end of hard
days work is taxed, like the rich mans
wine. The medicine he purchases for
his children is taxed. The knives and
forks and spoons and plates that he
uses at his meals are taxed. A taxed
doctor waits upon him in sickness, and
makes him pay the amount of tax
es the Government levies upon his
profession. OF truth We are
taxed nation. AS Sidney Smith
said of England, so it may be said OF
us under Radical Rule, that from the
swaddling clothes fthe new born babe
to the rope that lowers US into the grave,
aye to the spade that throws the last
lump of dirt upon our mortal remains
all, all are taxed. And yet the Radical
leaders would have the people believe
that the poor man is not taxod-that
those alone who pay the income tax are
taxed, when really the income tax is but
q mere drop in the bucket to the enor-
nous taxes collected from other sources
The people are too well posted on this
queston-they feel too deeply the hand
of the tax -gatherer-to be humbugged
by the silly sophistries with which the
Radical leaders are trying to mislead
and deceive them.

Stevenson and Negro Suffrage.

In this issue of the REGISTER will be
found an article copied from the Mari
eta (Ohio) Times, headed "A Plain
Statement of Fact" to which the read
er's attention is invited. The Tinses has
large circulation in West Virginia,
aud the facts with reference to STEVEN
SONS canvass in Ohio are published by
it because some of the would-be-Gov-
ernor's friends have been foolish
enough to deny them.
There is no question that STEVENSON
did stump portion of Ohio in favor st
the adoption of the Constitutional
amendment making negroes voters; and
there is also no question that in this
canvass he did speak from the same
stand with a negro named LANGsToN.

ject were needed, the following para

BATH, Ill, August %, 1868.

In proportion to the wealth OF the
two nations, the taxes in the United
States are five times as great rs in
Great Britain. And yet England sup
ports the largest navy the world has
ever seen, has monarchy and royal
blood whose pensions amount to mil
lions, and is a proud and naughty aris-
tocracy. This is just the point at
which the Radicals are aiming. They
have changed our form of government
in ten States from q republic to mill
tary despotism, and will control the
balance of the States in the same man
ner, unless prereAted by the people.
Their Journals and orators declare that
we must have q strong consolidated
Government, and adopt the monarchi-
cal idea that national debt is n nation

make the rich more aiiiuent and the
poor more decidedly the dependents and

WHEE11NG W. VA. SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER

Nebraska,-a gallant soldier in the
West aud Southwest during the war.
He spoke in an effective manner, very
cordially, for an hour and twenty min
utes.
At night, large audience assembled
to hear Deacon Gray, of Cleveland,
formerly the Democratic editor of the
Plain Dealer. He amused and held the
crowd for a speech of considerable
length, full of sharp points" and sal
lies of wit and humor. He spoke near
" two hours, yet all were deeply inter
ested to the last word. The Deacon
makes no profession to be a public
speaker, much less to possess gifts OF
oratery, yet he is a good "campaigner."
Hon. w. Z. Stevenson, of West Vir-
ginia, was called on, and spoke, rs he
always does, In a sincere, earnest man
ner, full of good sense and convincing
points.
John NJ. Langston, of Oberlin, who
has no superior as an orator in Ohio,
happened to come on the ground, was
espied, and, at quarter past ten, was
vociferously called for, but he did not
desire to speak. The crowd-S00 or 1000
still present-was earnest and urgent,
and insisted that he should "show him.
self" He appeared, and in few "ring-
ing" sentences satisfied the present de-
mand, and announced that he would
address the people in Marietta "to.mor-
row wednesday, night"
For eight hours, except an hour and
half for supper, the speaking had
been kept up with unhagging interest
we never before saw the like-and
that crowd would have remained till
midnight, had Mr.. Langston consented
to speak that length of time.
