II there Is anything, says tho SAT-

earnest support ofall true Republicans,
our candidate for Auditor, Capt. Boggess,
il il the especial efforts Of Democrats to de-
feat him. lie has made one Of the most
efficient officers that West Va, ever had.
He has been watchful Of every interest,
and has guarded the funds with . jealous
cyo. When he came into Office he found
some $40, 900 in tho treasury, and on tho
3Oth day Of jane, 1870, no reported a
surplus Of over $250,000 on hand. In
view Of this fact we do not wonder at the
opposition Of democrats. Thoy have been
so long accustomed to balance all accounts
by carrying al surplus fund to the steal
lag account, that such q balance in the
Treasury placed there By efficiency and
good management Of Republican officials,
& strikes them with awe and astOnishmeut.
We want no better evidence of the effect
iyeness Of Col. Swann's speech, delivered
at tho recent Republican State Convention
kcla in this city, than the terrible anthem-
as hurled at him BY The rebel press. They
eccupy their time in abusing and Fillitying
him and calling down all the eSsses oftho
gods upon his devoted head yet do not or
capuot, for their lives, answer his irrefut-
able arguments. Col. Swami has evident.
ly.hittiem in q tender place, or they would
not seuirm SO. While they are continuing
their abuse of him We would suggest
that they print the speech that has oceas-
toned Ill these exhibitions Of bile, aud let
their readers SEQ how far they are vafron-
ted in their slauaers. We preach from
the records; give rs the document gentle

It is instructive to mark the difference
Of opinion which prevails in Democratic
councils ia regard to the policy ofresisting

The platform Of the Ohio Democracy, aaep-
ted recently, was very emphatic in its dec.
laration Of hostility. The declaration Of
principles Of the w Va, Democracy is as
hostile "aud little more So" The

Rcqisier aud ether Democratic papers of
acknowledged ability, dissent totally from
this position and declare Tint nothing is to

satellites that borrow their refulgcnce from
some principal luminary, as, the moons
of Saturn borrow only reelected rays from
that hinged planet, think there is nothing
like tho 'nigger question" for auissue. In
faith this Democratic party is in want of a
uniform policy. Like the beggarly gran
does Of the Spanish monarchy they are
sadly in need Of head, since the only one
that could eyer boast Of brains, ideas or
loyalty was buried at tho Hermitage many
years ago.-&atc Journal.

county. They vero informed however,
that tue Gag should 60 up if oil the Dom
ocrats in the neighborhood, and adjacent
parts combined tried to prevent it. There
appeared to be at one time serious grounds
to fear disturbance Of the public peace.
Happily this vas prevented. These poo
