Nv Frends and EILlor Ci;=eas:
fondly hoped to have the opportu-
nifty OF addressing you through the me
dunn of neutral paper, published in
our town called the Reporter The
editor told friend OF mine that he
would publish communications from
me. | therefore subscribed to his paper
and handed him one which he pub
lshed and is subjoined, hut positively
refused to insert any more The editor
appears to he a live, we'll meaning man,
hut his paper is evidently under the
control of Radicals, who wishes to keep
YOU in ignorance on political matters
j. this not rather tyranniCal? How do
Won like it?
Hereafter what | may have Ia say to
YOU, YOU will lind III the Wheeling
REGISTER, but | am afraid not many of
YOU will have the opportunity of read
ing this excellent paper. would re.
specially recommend it to you IOu
will find in it much valuable informa-
ton on political matters which certainly
ought to interest Won. The editor
writes well, and is plain spoken but not
abusive. Here is my first article, pub
lished in tho Reporter:
For the Reporter.
Mr.. EDITOR i have been pleased TO
learn that your paper is To he neutral in
politics-that YOU will publish com
munications on both sides. OF course
Won reserve To yourself the right OF ex-
pressing Your own opinions. Your
Republican readers will have the oppor-
tunitv of obtaining correct information
on the affairs OF the nation, and on
affairs of vital importance to all. Many
of them will not look ut Democratic
paper, and are therefore in ignorance of
many things OF which they ought to be
informed Nothing will please me bet
ter than 10 have friendly talk with
them on matters OF vital importance
\ discussion of this kind think will
make your paper interesting and IN
crease its circulation.
The Radical Congress has long tried
To- drive the South again into rebellion.
They have heaped on them every posi-
bic indignitv, made them eat dust again
and again, but all in vain If not en-
tirelv reconciled to the situation, they
are determined to submit to it, happen
what may. They cannot again be
driven to rebellion, as they have had
enough of that. Grieviously have they
sinned and grievously have they suffer
ed He must be of brutal instincts and
a savage, that is not willing to forgive
them, and admit them again into the
family compact as of old. | would rec
ommend to your Republican readers a
careful perusal of the call for Repub-
lican State Convention at Parkersburg
They cannot fail to perceive that 1t
abounds in lies and sophistry. They have
a right to be indignant at this attempt TO
beglile them. DO those who call this
Convention suppose that you are -
blinded 10y party zeal as to believe any
thing and everything your leaders may
tell Won ? would invite your especial
attention to the fact that negroes are
invited to attend this Convention. The
lines are now distinctly drawn. There
are but two parties in our country, the
white and the black. TO which party
do YOU belong? Some of you may say
we will have TO belong to the black or
we will lie called turn-coats, traitors,
rebels. Ii is the meanest kind OF cow
ardicc to he compelled to do what is re-
pugnant to vour feelings, and deferred
from doing what you know to be right,
by the fear of these opprobrlous cpl
thets. Let them pass by you as the
idle wind which you respect not.
The Fifteenth Amendment was car
ried by the most unjustitiahle ant e
farions means A measure thus con-
summated ought not TO prosper, and
there are indications that the end the
Radicals expected to attain by it, will
moi be accomplished. They expected
by the negro vote, such increase OF
strength as to perpetuate the reign. OF
terror indefinitely. At some elections
recently held in Ohio, the Republicans
voted with the Democrats, and defeated
the black tickets. God grant that the
= example may be followed in this State
at the fall election. -,
