WHO HAS IT?

Five days previous to tie late election,
Governor Stevenson authorized .ht
Wheeling Intelfsencer and the Parkers'
burg Journal to state ".hat 10 had never
written letter concerning regiItration
to Moses Cunningham" and that "apy
such letter, purpOrting to come from him,
would be forgery" &c.
Our Democracy is not Of that kind
which would tempt Us to strike a fallen
foe ; but in justice to Mr.. Cunningham,
we desire to refer to few facts which we
think will settle the matter.
On the 1lth Of August last, there sp-
peared in;THs DEMocKlT communioa'
ton from Nose, Cunningham, Esq, oil
Bra1ton County, charging that tho Gov
ernor had written to hin the letter above
referred to, and calling upon Mr. St'ven-
son to deny it ifhe could.
On the Goth Of August we addressed a
personal article to the Governor, (Which
we requested the Wheeling Inttlliseneer
to copy, but tina. paper failed to do so
calling upon him..tO clear up the matter,
as the charge againstshim was disgrace
alike to him and the people who had
placed him in his exalted position.
No answer appearing to the above, on
the 22ud Of September Mr.. Cunningham
addressed to TEE DEMocRA1 another let
ter, roundly abusing the Governor, and
daring him to deny the charges made
against him. This letter Of Mr.. Gun,
ming together with our editorial
article, was printed in every Deao eraiic
paper in the State; bat no notice was ia,
ken Of them until October 22nd, when il

dy for tho inspection of any friend Of

see it.
rho editor Of the Parkersburg Journal
who set an example Of editorial conrte-
sy to "us country people by calling Mr..

TO TIE DEMOCRACY OF THE
STATE.
TO he Democratic and Conservative 10.
t@s Of West Virginia
Your State Executive COmmitteeteuder
their heartfelt congratulations upon the
triumph you have achieved at the recent
election. You have elected the Governor,
all the State officers, Judge of the Court
of Appeals, two out of the three Repre-
sentatives in Ccnsre's. and a majority of
each branch of the Legislature. A Sem
ator, representing your principles, will
be chosen at the ensuing session of the
Legislature.
Your Committee have no right to pre-
scribe the course to be pursued by your
representatives in the Legislature of the
State, nor will they attempt to do SO But
they Venture to assure the people that dis
franchisenent is ended in West Virginia,
and henceforth the white men of the State
will be freemeu. West Virginia will no
longer deny to any person within its jur-
isdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Measures will be adopted proposing at the
proper time, a constitutional convention
to effect thorough reform Of our ins,it-
utions. Strict economy and accountable.
ty will be enforced in regard to the public
money, . multitude of useless Offices will
be abolished, and every effort be made to
reduce the heavy burden Of State and To-
ca! taxation, and to encourage immigra-
ton to the State. The excuses and
crimes which aroused the indignation Of
the people against the party who have mis-
governed the State. will be avoided. and
the rights of all will be alike protected.
The Constitution will again become the
supreme law of the land. Having secured
your own rights, you. will respect the
rights OF others; and your triumph will
be permanent, because it will establish 8
just government for all, and secure the
prosperity Of the people of the State.

THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE
OF DELEGATES.

The great revolution in the politics Of
this State. has brought the Democratic
party to the front as the governing party,
aud we should not be unmindtul of its
grave responsibilities. We must there
fore select our best men for high posi-
lions, and "pm none but true men on
guard" II we fail in this, we fail in the
great mission Of our party. We must
govern with moderation and dignity, and
dignity can only be attained by selecting
men Of talent and experience for high
places, and places which give character
to State. The Spcakership Of the
House Of Delegates is of the first impor-
lance, and is one of the great figure heads
Of government which attracts attention,
and in his selection, Us the first step in
the ladder of our triumph, we should not
fail to select the man whom the whole
State will pronounce to be ft and compe-
tent for any emergency, and who will i'm
part grace and dignity to the posi-
ton, and who will be reminder Of an
Gent parliamentary decorsm.
In looking over the list of Delegates
elected to the Legislature, we find many
representative men who are eminently
qualified for the position of Speaker; but
We are free to say that our attention has
not been attracted to any who comes up to
the full measure ofeur standard for that
Office, as the Hon. Charles S. Lewis, of
our neighboring county of Harrison. As
parliamentary, we question whether
be has an equal in the State His ser
vices III the Legislature 0! Virginia, and
in Congress, have given him advantages
which he quickly improved, and he now
stands, without rival in our State, on
the score Of experience. His quick per-
ception and afability of manners, added
to his great ability, it would seem, have
made him the man specially noted for this
position, and We name him in tha. con-
nectiOn.
The democrat. [volume] (Weston, W. Va.) 1868-1874, 1870-11-07
THE RESULT.

In speaking Of the result Of the recent
election, our able catemporary Of the
Msrtinsburg Me'O Fra uses The following
beautiful and appropriate sentiment:
The result i, so grand SO glorious, and
SO unexpected, that the returns, as they
come in, growing better and better, have
bewildcred US. We can scarcely believe
that no,o we are about to realize all that
we have labored, Tough. and hoped for
during the past FIVE years Of almost hope
less struggle. But durins'al those dark
and cherries years Of radical triumphs
and misrule, we never lost faith in the
people. After each defeat we buckled on
the armor and prepared to give battle in
the next campaign. firm in the belief that
truth crushed to the earth will rise
again" After the defeat of tho Demoo-
racy in 1868, under the lead of the gal.
liant Camden, we used the following Ian
guagc in an editorial commenting on the
defeat:
Let gallant Democracy Of IVES,
Virginia Island 6rm-falter nat a mo-
ment." You can find consolation for
your temporary defeat in the conscious
ness that you have laborcd for the right,
and for Whit you honestly believe is for
the best interests Of the country, and IN
the full assurance that Time, the great
arbiter, will vindicatc you before the Ma.
ton. Let the Democracy Of West Yir-
ginia take fresh courage, and remember
that after the battle of ThermopylU, in
which the three hundred Spartans under
Leonidas persisted, i. seemed that the last
hope Of ancient lellas was gone. Yet
the disaster was retrieved and Greece
saved at Salamis aud above all the homes
of those who fell at the fatal pass where
the Asiatic met Greek was raised mon
ument with the inscription: We lie here
in obedience 10 our country. Letthe con-
sentative men of the nation place tho in.
scription over he defeated friends Of uu.
tiOnality in West Virginia, give them
full credit for the fight they have made
against dcspo,ism, deception, fraud and
money, and at the next Gubernatorial
election look for the Salanris that is to
follow the ThermoryIo of to-day"
The ThermopylU oflSGS was retrieved
by the Salamis Of las. Thursday.
