fully up to the regulation standard
during the war, voted the entire Demo
cratic ticket at Newport, Kentucky,
last Monday The Enquirer also gives
the names of several other gentlemen,

ocratic nominees at the same time and
place The revival seems to be gain

The Lamb Letter.

We have been silent and amused
spectators of the HtclEgenccrs frantic
hut futile efforts to make some capital
out Of the circumstances attending Mr..
LANES nomination for the House of
Delegates by the late Democratic Con
vention, and that gentlemanS subsc-
duent declination Knowing thorough
", as did the members of the Conven-
ton and all others who cared anything
about the matter, that there was moth
ing at all in the affair that could be
used to the injury of the Convention or
any member of the ticket nominated,
we have been content to let the InteLU-
qcpcer worry itself into Il fever and, in
its usual style, make itself ridiculous.
Mr.. LANES letter having demolished
the filmy cobweb Of insinuation which
had been so hopefully and industriously
woven, the managers of Mr.. BLAIR's
petty paper now propose to leave the
matter to Mr.. BAKERS own political
friends, who are familiar with the
inside workings of the party
machinery There Is nothing in
the inside workings" of the Demo.
cratic party which, so far as we know,
is hidden from the humblcst member
of the party, and Mr. BAKERS own
political friends" know full well that
the Intelligence has been completely
duped when it was led TO believe that it
could create any material diSatiection
in the Democratic ranks by harping
upon Mr.. LANES declination of the can
didacy for the House Of Delegates.
Having been fooled to the top of its
bent" and said its silly say, we pre-
sumo the HateNigeecer will now subside
into its usual stupidity, until some other
mirthful soul imposes a fresh story
upon its easy credulity, or some new
occasion arises for the exercise of its
peculiar faculty OF perverting and dis
torting the truth.

North Caroline.

The election" takes place to-day in
North Carolina, and, from the news
items published elsewhere in this paper,
our readers may expect a great Re
publican victory" in the old North
State. GRANTS bayonets and HOLDEN
and Kinks band Of desperadoes are
potent formers of public opinion, and
the party of great moral ideas" will
doubtless be highly elated over the re-
suit Of the balloting in North Carolina
to-day. The party Of progress" will
have won another victory at the polls,
and the loyal folk will utter shouts OF
JOY.
But what miserable piece Of trick
erv and fraud this North Carolina bust
ness has been, What shameful libel
upon a government calling itself Re
publicl What an infamous crime up
on the freedom of the people And
vet, North Carolina is not alone in her
sorrows, nor is HOLDEN the only Cover
nor who is willing to override law and
justice, and deccncy and human right,
to accomplish Il partisan emil. In a
comparison Of situations, West Virginia
has not much whereof to boast Troops
! have been sent into this State, some are
still quartcred in our midst, upon the
slightest possible pretense, or upon nc
pretcnse at all, other than to help the
Radicals carry an election. When, il
ever will these things be made to
! cease?

:" Shoe. Flick

1t has been conveniently discovered
hv the Iatchligenccr, just too late for
remedy, that the law has not been COM
piled with in reference to the necessary
publication of the FLICK Amendment.
The Constitution of the State requires
that any proposed amendment must be
published at least three months before
the election, in some newspaper in eve
ry county where newspaper is printed.
Less than three months are now to
elapse before the election, and the re.
quisite publication has not been had.
Just seven days after the FLICK bantling
has been ruled out of the present can
vass, the Radicals discover that the
amendment which they profess to have
such deep and abiding interest in, is
no longer before the people. Their for
getfulness has been very convenient, and
their remembrance is opportunc. Who
now will give them credit for ever hav-
ing intended, honestly and in good
faith, TO submit the question to the peo-
pie. The Governor has fund at his
disposal that might have been used to
defray the expenses Of the publication,
there was no necessity for any special
legislation on the subject, and the only
excuse they now have for permitting
the whole thing to fall to the ground is
simply that they forgot it.
Our readers are well aware that we
have always regarded the FLICK amend
ment a. swindle It was merely a
trick to get Democrats to swallow the
pill ofnegro suffrage disguised under
thin show of white acknowledgements.
1t never was offered in sincerity by the
Radicals, and even il it had been hon.
estly proposed it was Objectionable to
all who did not wish to admit the equal
political rights and privileges of the
white and black races. The discovery
that it is now impossible to have it
legally voted upon, is at least some evil
dence of the insincerity of Radical prom.
ises and the falsehood Of Radical dec
|arations.
