Editors of the Register;
Tyler county is coming aroRnd all
right muchly, and the people are begin
ming TO loak up with hope. Farmers
are now eating the heaviest wheat
harvest that has been raised in the
copnty for many years. Oats and corn
are very promising. The products OF
the ground will be unusually abundant
in Tyler this year.
Politically We feel much better. We
already see the GLORIOUS beaming star
in full view. Mark Tyler on the books
Democratic" Every day the better
men, tired of high taxes, tired of bayon-
cts, oppression and windy demonstra-
tioas of loilty are beginning to feel and
think and open their eyes and look
around. In every such case We get q
convert to Democracy. We are indeed
in very excellent state of health-all
at work in earnest-determined that the
frosts of October shall bite out radical
ism within our borders.
Among the many good names put out
for Governor, if We have to choose, that
of Preston suits us best-Hon. VIM. &.
Brown. VIM. G. Brown IS respected
and popular name 10 Tyler-it has been
so since lS44. We like him and We want
to vote for him for Governor. What q
change there would be in the State
Capitol Give us Brown for Governor
and we will go it handsomely. Judge
Edmiston is the oaly man We talk about
for Supreme Judge.

every day, and We arc going to work on
until our work is finished. We viii

CIRCULATE THE PAPERS.
Weekly Register for Fifty Cents

The WEEKLY REGISTER for July 10th,
will contain the full Proceedings of the
Democratic National Convention, which
meets iu New York, July 4th, and the
WEEKLY REGISTER for July Eth, will
centain the Proceedings Of the State and
Congressional Conventions to be held in
Grafton, July 10th. Commencing with
the number for July. 10th, VIC will send
the WEEKLY REGISTER until after the
Presidential Election in November, for
SIXTY CENTS, or in Clubs of TWENTY
for FIFTY CENTS each.
The campaign about opening prom
ises to be the most exciting, as it will
surely be the most important TO this
country that it has ever witnessed.
The principal issues are now fairly de-
fined and we'll understood. The con-
test is for the preservation of what is
left of the Government established by
WASHINGTON and his eompatriots,
against the insane fanatics aud thieves
who have full possession of the power
of the Federal and State Governments,
and who are using the places they &C.
cupy to strengthen themselves and
plunder the people. The battle
must be boldly fought by the Conserv-
ative masses who would save the Coun-
try and restore peace to a distracted
people, overwhelmed by taxation, and
already deprived of many of The rights
they once enjoyed. To conduct this
contest intelligently and successfully
all must understand the issues and the
arguments, and to obtain them, all
must read. Democratic papers must be
circulated everywhere. A Democratic
paper every week in the hands of every
voter in the Union, would insure vic
tory in November, without parallel in
the annals of the party. 1t i'd the duty
then, of all whe wish for the success of
tDe cause 10 ClICuldtb bClhoCIatiS Ph
pers. To facilitate this object the pub
fishers of the WHEELING REGISTER
now offer their large Weekly issue at
the bare cost of printing, to Clubs for
the Campaign.
The WEEKLY REGISTER is the largest
paper issaed in this State, and contains
double the reading matter of any other.
In addition to the political information,
it contains all the current news of the
day, telcgraphic news from all parts of
the world, markets, agricultural inior-
nation of value, &c.
Our political friends who are about to
assemble in primary meetings through
out this State for the appointment of
Delegates to the State Convention,
would do well to make, on these occa-
sions, special efforts for the circulation
of the REGISTER in their respective
neighborhoods. LEWIS BAKER 4 Co.

Another Reverend scdueer

There is strong probability that the
Circuit Court of Harrison county, Ind ,
will be called upon, at its next term, to
render decision in seduction case, in
which the plaintiff is handsome young
lady, formerly occupying a respectable
position in society, and the defendant a
preacher. The case is said to be an ag-
gravated one, involving breach of mar
riage promise. 1t is said that the day
of. marriage was set by the villainous
seducer, and the young lady's parents
went to much expense to purchase her
wedding outfit. The reverend rascal
has comfortable prospect of the peni,
tiary before him, and o lifetime in that
institution would be slight punish
ment for his crine. "

Warts on CswS Teats.

This nuisance may be abated when
the COW is dry more easily than when
she is giving milk. Small warts may,
however. often be removed by some SIM
pie application, which will give little
or no pain. Moistenipg them after
milking with strong saleratus water,
applying paste of wood ashes TO the
warts only, or touching them with al
most any caustic in a way that will not
make them sore, will usually, but grad
ually, cause the warts to disappear.
Very large warts should be first tied
of, that is, have o wire or silk thread
bonnd around them close to the teat, so
as to prevent q circulation of the blood;
but this makes the teat sore and milking
difficult IN. C. BE- writes that raw
linseed oil applied once a week willcure
warts on cows.

CabelI md Wayne Counties 30. X"

We learn by private letters from Ca
bell and Wayne counties that the
greatest enthusiasm exists among the
Democrats and Conservatives of those
counties ut the prospect of their several
sections being redeemed from the mis-.
rule and prescription of the Radical
disunionist. Clubs are being formed in
the different townships and school dis
tricts, and large numbers who have
heretofore voted and acted with the
Radical party now see tho "error of
their way" and declare that hsnceforth
they will vote with the white mans
party, and thereby atone, i'll measure,
for past errors. The people of Wayne
and Cabell are not alone passing
through this wholesome state of "re-
constructed" political faith, but the cry
comes up from every section of the
State and from all over tine country.
The Radical Rumper's policy of niger
izing the country through Freedmen s
Bureaus, g(u)ilt. .tinselled shoulder
strapped satraps and bayonets, ut the
expense of an over taxed, robbed and
betrayed people, has mado and is max.
ing heavy and unbearable inrOads upon
the purses of the hard working masses
of the country, and they will no longer
permit or allow themselves to be made
the servile tools of party leaders and
aemagogues, but in future will exercise
the rrerogative of voting for their ewn
interests as well as the interests OF
their neighbors.-.hason County Journal

col. jas. q. Broddhead:
DEAR CoLONRL-In reply to your in
guiries beg leave to say that leave to
you to determine, Ou consultation with
NV friends from Missouri, whether any
uame shall be presented to the Demo
cratic Convention. and to submit the
following, as what l consider the real
and only issue in this contest.
The reconstruction policy of the Rad
icals will be complete before the next
election; the States, so long excluded
will have been admitted; negro snf'
frage established, and the carpet-bag
gers installed in their seats in both
branches of Congress. There is no pos
sibility of changing the political char
acter of the Senate, even II the Demo
Gratis should elect their President and q
majority OF the p"pular branch OF Con
gress. We cannot, therefore, dndo the
Radical plan of reconstruction by Con
gressienal action; the Senate will con
tinne bar to its repeal. Must we sub.

1t can only be overthrown by tke au
thority of the Executive, whs is sworr
TO maintain the Constitution, and wht

Constitution to perish under series o
Congressional enactments, which are II
palpable violation Of its fundamenta
principles.

mocracy, enforces or permits others Il
enforce these Reconstruction acts, tn,
Radicals, by the accession of twenty
spurious Senators and fifty Representa-
tiyes, will control both branches o
Congress, and his administration will

that is for the President elect to declar

The House of Representatives will con

North, and they will admit the Repre-

OF the President it will not be Difficult
TO compel the Senate to submit ono
