Editors Of the Register:
We had very interesting speech from
Mr.. Blair in Meundsville on Saturday
last. Our radical editsr failed in his
attempt to make the place unwhole-
some for him. Every seat in the Court
House was filled. | have only time to
allude to one part of his speech: he eu-
logized the late Mr.. Lincoln very highly,
and proved conclusively that he was
opposed to negro equality and was in
favor of State governments in the
South. Mr. johnson, in opposing recon-
struction and adhering to the Constitu-
tioa, has been standing in the footsteps
of his illustrious predecessor. His
speech, no doubt, has had good effect.
Mr.. Lincoln had many ardent adherents
in this community, and there are many
among us who revere his memory. Ii
will be recollected that when he was
assassinated, some of them became per-
fectly crazy, and were for hanging all
the copperheads, although the copper
heads regretted his death as much as
they did. heard the most intelligent
Democrat among us say that it was the
greatest calamity that could have be-
fallen the nation; and so it has proved,
as it placed all the power in the Rump
Congress.
Mr.. Blair allu!ed to the fact that
clergymen of different denominations,
presumptuously arrogating to them
selves knowledge of the designs of the
Deity, asserted that the Almighty per-
mitted the assassination of the Presi-
dent because he was too lcnient.
Mr.. Johnson has disappointed friends
and foes. He has done all be could to
restore the ancient friendly feeling be-
tween the North and the South, to pre-
serve the Government, and the honor OF
cur beloved country. He deserves inl-
mortal honor, and will receive it.
The fanatical Rump Congress and
some of the State Legislatures have
done all TIE mischief. Who can deny it
Yours truly, c.

Editors Of the Register:
/ am glad to know that the people
here, as we'll as in other parts OF the
State, are going to work in the canvass
with full determination to throw oil
the yoke of Radicalism which has so
long oppressed them. Even here in the
Harrison Kingdom" they are arousing
with an energy and zeal unknown IN
any canvass since the formation of the
State.
1t was my good fortuue to-day to be
present at mass meeting of the people
at a point near this place known as
Chestnut Hill" 1t was the largest
and most enthusiastic political assem-
bly we have had in the county for
years, and bat one impression seemed
to prevail-that the hour of redemption
was almost conc.
The meeting was opened by A. G.
Tebbetts, Esq, the Conservative Elec-
tor for this county, in an address we'll
calculated to arouse the lukewarm and
Indifferent. He was followed by Ed.
Sehsn, Esq, of Lewisburg, who an
nounced himself candidate for the
office of States Attorney for this county.
Mr.. SehOn placed himself fairly and
ssuaIely upon the Conservative plat
form aud pledged his aid to the ad-
vancement of its principles.
Frank Hereford, Esq, Elector for the
State at large, next took the stand ard
for more than two hours received an
attention more profound and earnest
than generally falls to the lot of public
speakers. He discussed thoroughly the
issues between the parties and rendered
them so plain that all could understand.
His speech was strong one and cannot
fail to do good.
Mr.. Hereford deserves our gratitude
for the earnest zeal and devotion which
he is showing for the cause of truth and
right. learn that he expects to de-
vote the whole of his time, from now
until the election, to the interests of
the Conservative ticket, and no more
powerful and effective blows will be
struck than by him. He is an able de-
batter, and our people know him to be
an honest man and a Christian gentle
man; they have all confidence in his
rectitude and honesty of purpose, and
no one can listen to him without being
satisfied that he is acting upon principle
and not for personal advancement or
mere party purposes; that he Is labor
ing in cause which he feels and knows
to be the cause of truth and justice.
His influence must be felt in the fall
elections. am satisfied you will have
a good report from the borders then.

THE CAMPAIGN.
FROM HARDY COUNTY.
A Great, Grand and Glorious
Demonstration.
The Democracy of the South
Branch Alive.
Committee of 5000 Oh the State
Ofthe Union.

The great Democratic Barbecue that
had been advertised for some time came
off at Moorefeid, Hardy Co., w. Va,
OH the 2Sth ult. The indomitable De-
mocracy and Conservatives of five
counties were there. Indeed the whole
country seemed to have turned out en-
masse. The roads were black with
moving humanity. They came
without distinction of party. Good Or
der was kept throughout. The citizens
OF the different counties we're formed in
order by the Chief Marshal and his
aids in the morning at about ten
o'clock, and the procession marched to
the beautiful grove at the outskirts of
the town, near the bank of the river.
The immense concourse of people being
gathered together, and among them a
large number of beautiful and intelli-
gent ladies, the meeting was called to
order, and. the President of the day intro
duced Hon. WIN. G. Brown, Democratic
candidate for the Second Congressional
District, who made splendid speech,
taking up all the great issues of the day
and holding the Radicals up in full view
of their own iniquity.
1t now being time for dinner. the
meeting adjourned to partake Of the
feast prepared for them. After dinner
the vast multitude again repaired to
the place designated for speaking, when
General Thomas Ewing, Jr., was intro
duced, who, we are informed, made one
of the grandest, most telling, and most
convincing speeches that our cores
pondent ever listened to. The General
spoke for some three hours. So power
ful and eloquent was his effort that at
the close the whole vast assemblagc,
ladies and all, rose. as by electricity,
and gave one universal cheer that made
TIE welkin ring.
Col. ID. d. Johnson, of Tyler county,
was then introduced, who spoke for
about an hour, in most happy style.
After him followed Charles Carter Lee,
brother of Gen. r. f. Lee. He appealed
to the Radicals to stop their acts of in
humanity to the South, assuring them
luC pCOplS VI lhC cOulu uSollSu, dooNS
all things, to live in peace under the
old flag and Constitution Of the country,
left them by their fathers. 1t being
now about six o'clock, the meeting ad
journed to meet at the Court House
after supper.
After supper the Court House was
soor filled to overhswing, when Vim.
Walsh, Esq, of Cumberland, Md, made
an excellent speech. After Mr.. Walsh
had concluded, H Resley, Esq, of Cum
berland, made short but telling speech.
The meeting then adjourned. This was
proud day for the Democracy, and we
learn that many Republicans declared
their intention 70 vote for Seymour and
Blair.
We are sorry that space forbids us
giving the proceedings of this great
meeting as sent us by our correspon-
don't, but We hope our friends will ex-
cuse us, as we have all points of the
State to attend to, in matters of this
kind

ed sufficient to secure negro supremacy
in those States. Thus the issue came
once more before the people of the
North, and in every election which has
been held since the passage of these
acts the Radicals have been iguomin-
iously defeated, and the attempt to i'm
pose negro suffrage rebuked. They
nevertheless persist in forcing these
condemned measures upon the country.
They are determined to maintain them
against the clear majority of the people
of both sections.
Under these acts three millions Of
ignorant negroes have been made su-
preme over six millions of the white
race in the South, and the Congressional
representation and electoral vote thus
controlled is relied upon TO overcome
the majority against the Radicals in the
North. Negro supremacy is not confined
TO the South; il extends itself TO the
North, aud enables a minority 10 con-
troll majority in both sections. Ii is
clear now that the Rump Congress has
constituted itself the supreme power
the entire Government.
The President is subjugated and oAeys
its laws, constitutional or not.
The Supreme Court, whilst ready
with its judgment on the question of
conflicting constitutional power be-
tween the Congress and the President,
submits to a law passed by Congress,
made expressly'to forbid its discharge
of this, its constitutional function.
The army takes and obeys leaders
given through General Grant and Sec
retary Stanton, independently OF the
Chief Magistrate, the Commander-in-
Chief, in virtue of law passed by
Congress to strip the President of his
direct and express constitutional au-
thority; Grant and Stanton have acted
on the principle that their duty made
such law their rule, the order of the
President to the contrary notwith-
standing
This makes Congress absolute. The
next step is to make perpetual this ab-
solutism in Congress. This is to be &C.
complished by the eleeting, through the
negro vote polled, under army orders,
twenty Senator's and some fifty Repre-.
sentatives from the disfranchised
States. This accession, even If the
Radicals poll only considerable mi
nority in the free States, will carry the
Presidency and a sufficient vote into the
next Congress, added to the negro-elect-
ed Senators and Representatives, to
make the Constitution what the Radi-
Gals want it to be.
They may make the President hold
for one term of ten years, or for life, and
so of the Senators aud Representatives.
This was the process by which the Gov
ernments of England and France
emerged from their revolution, estab-
fishing republics into empires, with a
monarch and nobility, to substitute a
popular sovereignty.

meeting in Hartford, i'll which he ex-

On Tuesday they had an election in
Vermont, the only State that never yet
voted Democratic. The Radicals have
carried it, They say they have carried
it by an increased majority. 1t may be
they have; yet, when the returns come
in, it may be we will find that they have
not. But, il State where their usual
vote is three to our one, even q gain
for them would not be astonishing.

This is very significant from Mr..
Stanton, for the Presidents nearest
friends had made it knswn, soon after
his death, that he had observed that
his Secretary of War had been intimate
before the election with those hostile
with his policy, to which Mr.. Stanton
By his despatch would seem again TO
give in his adhesion. General Grants
presence, too, at this Cabinet, called to
discuss Virginia's establishment in her
relations with the Union, identifies him
with the Presidents labors for that pur-
pose. General Grant and Mr.. Stanton,
IN their testimony before the Impeach-
ment committee, corroborate this state
ment, Mr.. Stanton admitting that he
prepared the North Carolina proclama-
tion at Mr.. Lincoln's request, and Gen
eral Grant saying that be heard it read
in Cabinet in presence Of Mr.. Lincoln,
and that the Cabinet concurred in the
policy it initiated, adding that it was
the same proclamation in substance,
and he believed in language, which was
afterwards issued by Mr.. johnson when
Ia became President.
He also testified that he approved
this programme. Soon after Mr.. Lin
coins death, General Grant showed his
zeal for the great object he had at heart
by making journey through Virginia
and other States ard reporting fayors-
bly, of their disposition and fitness for
restoration, saying that they accepted
in good faith the situation in which il
was proposed to place them, and sug-
gested an early meeting in Congress OF
