Th. po,it,caI Campasgn OF 1870.

On Monday next Oregon will open
The campaign oflS7O By the election, Of
a State ticket and a member Of Con,
gress the Delaware and Kentucky
elections will follow in August those
of Maine, Vermont and California in
September, and the rest of the State
elections will take place in October and
November. 1t may safely be asserted,
says the New York Times, that upon
the result of these elections will depend
the success of the Republican policy,
and that the future destiny Of the party,
not only in 1872, but for many years to
come, will be largely affected. The en-
tire lower branch of the Forty.econd
Congress is TO be chosen, and subse,
ouentlv twenty-one United States Sena.
tors are to be elected by the Legislatures
of the several States AS this is Re,
publican view Of the question, the Dem
ocratic party of the country can readily
see what a splendid harvest and what
high duties they have before them in
elections of the present year

John Bright.

The long-continuef illness OF this dis
tinguished English Liberal statesman
causes serious anxiety as to his restora-
ton to health. His successor in the
English Cabinet has already been indi-
Gated in the public journals, and Mr..
Bright is kept in profound seclusion.
Recent reports 10y mail bring the intel
ligence that Mr. Bright has sunk into
hopeless condition from softening of the
brain. The contrast between the Wig
orous popular orator and reformer Of
ten wears ago, and the helpless invalid
of to. day, shows how thin are the par
titions between powerful intellect and
imbecility, when the man is orerworked
or the brain is overtasked

Negro Suffrage in this State.
How the People Were Cheated by
the Radicals.
From the West Virginia Courier

From the West Virginia Courier.l
Two years ago the campaign com
menced in West Virginia which result
ed in placing the ballot in the hands of
the blacks. Through the whole of that
campaign the Republican leaders sedu-
lousy and loudly proclaimed their OPP
position to negro suffrage and their de-
votion to the doctrine that in the peo-
pie of the States should be retained the
power OF declaring who should vote.
Their platforms were made, their
speeches were prepared and their papers
edited with view to convincing the
public that in no event would they con-
sent to give the General Government
control of suffrage or to place the ballot
in negro hands. TO this their votes,
their influence and their honor were
solemnly and universally plighted.
Scarcely had they carried the sub
seduent election before they gave
signs of regulating the promises
they had made to the people. At the
next meeting Of Congress the order went
out to the party to forfeit its honor every
where by violating its pledges on the
suffrage question The Radicals in the
Legislature of West Virginia heard the
call, and obeying it by ratifying the
Fifteenth Amendment, set the seal OF
infamy upon the front Of their party.
But their treachery did not pass unpun-
ished. At the succeeding election but
three members ont of the whole number
who had voted for the Amendment in
fanny were reelected, and these. if We
mistake not, owed their success to the
most villainous frauds of which corrupt
Boards of registration were capable
From the severity with which the
people held to account the authors Of
the negro suffrage fraud, it is clear
that they are now prepared to act more
vigorously than ever before in opposi-
ton to the further Acknowledgement of
their own race, and in favor of free leg
islation, free iury-bOX and free voting
for the white men of the State They
see that nothing substantial in the way
of reform of prescription can he OK
pected from the Republican party.
They know that as that party violated
its pledges made with regard to the
negro in 60, so it trampled under foot
its promises made with regard to the
white man in 90. They know that the
treachcry which opposed negro suffrage
on the stump and voted for it IN legisla-
ton, had its counterpart in the pertidy
which upon the stump promised to
emancipate the white man, and IN the
Legislature of the State decrecd the
continuance Of his bondage.

The Democratic state Convention
All Delegates should Attend.

The Democracy Of West Virginia
assemblies in State Convention at Charles
ton on Monday next the eighth Of
June, and it is q matter Of the gravest
Importance that there shall be present
full and able delegations from all sec
tons Of the State At no period of our
history has so important a Convention
been called to assemble, for upon its
action in great part will depend the sue
cess or failure of struggle which is TO
determine for at least two years to come
whether this State shall be governed
by white men unshackled 10y political
prescription, and untainted by public
corruption and outrage, or by that party
which in four years of peace has en-
tailed upon the State and country the
most alarming revolution in our repub-
lican form of government and the
most oppressive system of legislation
and taxation that ever afflicted any peo-
pie. We want in council ut Charleston
the wisest and best men of this State,
unselfsh, unambitious and with eyes
single to that line of policy which will
best ensure success in October,
regardless OF the men who shall
be selected to bear our banner
through that conflict. 1t will he no
time or place for our friends to eX-
change the political compliments Of
personal favoriteism however much
deserved or desired such compliments
NAV be. These family souveniers will
come in better and more gracefully at
another day, when we have succeeded
in throwing off the shackles Of political
despotism that now manacle the limbs
of twenty-five thousand of our best cit
liens, and when we are permitted TO
breath once more the fresh air OF free
dom in our mountain homes, and can
call our State and our souls our own.
After a full, free and harmonious consul
tation among the delegations from every
county, men should be chosen as candi-
dates who can command the largest num-
Der of votes in the State, regardless of
personal or sectional considerations of
any kind. The nomination of JAMES X.
Polk in 1874, and of FRANKLIN PEARCE
in 1852 for the Presidency, gave victory
TO the national Democracy when defeat
was imminent under the old leaders,
and their administration of the Govern
ment was the most prosperous and
brilliant in our history. They edead
and gone, but plenty of men of their
character and type still live, and can he
selected with wisdom in great emer-
gencies, when the friends of old aspi-
rants fail to agree tremendously among
themselves.
Considering the great importance of
the Convention, we are earnest in ap-
pealing to our friends who have been
appointed delegates, and to all other
good conservative men who can do so,
to go to Charleston. They should not
permit business engagements to keep
them away, nor remain at home be-
cause they may think there will be
plenty in attendance without them. In
a multitude ofcouncillors there is wis
DOM" and there are but few who have
been appointed delegates that cannot
spare a few days to their party and
their State.

House of Representatives voted one
NEwsHAM into Congress from Louisiana
who had not the shadow Of a right to a
seat on that floor, having been fairly
beaten by Democrat by several thou

Convention of liberal Republicans"
which it has repeatedly informed us
was to be a great success on the lst of

was a tiasco. The liberal Republicans
have been snubbed by their party.
