THE TRIUMPH IN WEST VIRGINIA.

Yves. Virginia must hencefourth be set
down ss democratic state. Cut of from
Virgins. and erected into state of purely
partisan purposes, and manipulated in the
crucibe of Acknowledgement until radical
ascendency within its borders seemed per-
msnent, it has in one day overturned every
nice calculation, and converted an instru-
mentality of republican strength into a
lasting source of weakness. The first result
of the democratic victory will be to let in
in some 20 900 now disfranchised citizens,
who will hold the state democratic for wears
by sweeping majority, and next to this
comes the election, rice Mr.. Wiley, Of q
democratic United States senator in the
Forty second congress. whose vote will
neutralize Mr.. Boreman's until that gentle.
man in turn is superseded by democratic
successor, always prov:,ed Mr.. 3. is not go
worked upon hg the sight of West Virginia 9
disfranchis thousands at the polls as to
turn democrat forthwith with an eye to
reelection. West Virginia has done well.
Now for Missouri.

NOT DEAD. BUT SLEEPING.

The State Register says that when the
last congress adjourned thirty odd bills,
granting land to sundry railroad corpora
sions, which had been passed by the senate
were laid over for the action of the house OF
representatives, which is to assemble on
March 4th, 1871. The amount of the public
tomain which those bills will divert from
.is ownership of the people and place in
ths hands of private corporations, is un.
ku'wn, but it mus. be immense. The bills
whi,h were passed up to the last session
gave o the rings OF oonspirasors land enough
10 maze six states as large as Ohio, and it
is no. ikely that the land thieves have
grown hss greedy by successful plunder.
The bills were laid over, not with any
intent to keep the robbers from the lands
our fathers won and transmitted us in trust
for posteriy, but simply because the expo
sitlon OF fn:ther thefts might be used as an
argument against the election of radical
congressman. The bills are not dead, but
only sleeping, until such time as it may be
safe to reanimAte them.
In voting fol congressman the people
should remember that a vote for any radical
is q vote to pass these thirty land grant
bills, vote to confer on private corpora
tions the land which was acquired by the
By the people, and which, under democratic
administration, was sacredly preserved for
the people. The radical party inaugurated
the system of giving away the land, and that
democracy have opposed and denounced
these bills from the first, and all men who
egree with the democratic position on this
question should vote for the democratic
nominees for congress.

OFFICIAL CITY g. COUNTY PAPER
SOLDIERS IN OUR ELECTION /.

The New York World says telegram
from Washington announces that the ad-
ministration has completed its military pro
gramme for our election. Gen. Terry Is not
to be in command, nor does it appear from
the account that the federal troops are to be
under the direction of any responsible mill
tary head. They are to be stationed at the
Battery, an Union square, and at the Office
ofhe EBited States Marshal, in readiness
to be marched against our citizens st the
call of any understrapper of deputy mar
shal who gets it into his wise noddle that
he may lawfully summon them to his assist
snce. The sending of troops here at all on
election day is a great outrage. 1t is a bold
trampling upon the laws of the state and
the spirit of our free institutions. No free
people on the face of the earth ever allowed
the calling out of soldiers in the face of an
election. Here ia what the Revised
Statutes of New York say on this
subject If any officer or other
person shall call or order any of the militia
of this State, to appear and exercise on any
election to be held BY virtue of this chapter
or within five days previous thereto, except
in cases Of invasion or insurrection, he shall
forfeit five hundred dollars for every such
offence" There has always been a similar
law in the other States military terror in
elections having been deemed by our fathers
inconsistent with their freedom The law
OF Pennsylvania is in these words: No
body of troops in the army of the United
States, or of this commonwealth, shall be
present either armed or unarmed, at any
place of election within this commonwealth,
during the time of such election" There
has always been similnr law in England
against the presence Of soldiers in any town
where an election is held. This adminstra-
sion is breaking down all the old bulwarks
of liberty, and Transforming our free repub-
lie into a centralized military despo,ism.

HAWLEY WILLING TO BETRAY THE
INTERESTS OF ROCK ISLAND.
The Charge made dire.t

The Union continues to dodge and paddle
around the damaging fact that Hawley was
willing to betray the interests Of the people
OF this city, Moline, Camden, and in fact
the whole county, by helping kill the free
carriage bridge over the Mississippi river
The facts about the matter are simply ss
follows
Mr. John B. Hawiey did a. the solicisa
tion of the ferry company, and to help his
political friends, Spencer, Robinson Co.
writ letter to A. c. Harding, then ou'
congressman, urging him to kill the
bridge appropriation on the ground that
the bridge would in ure the ferry franchise
Of Robinson & Co., and that it was their duty
to protect and aid the interests of their poll
tical friends that Robinson & Co., could
DO q good deal for the party and the party
must protect them, etc., etc. Mr.. Hawley
before mailing that letter, showed il te
several of the political friends of his party
lie then mailed it, and when he got Hard
ing reply he showed that also. Mr. Hard
ing reply was very proper one. He
plainly told Hawley that he would be glad
to help his friend Robinson, and his party
friends, but that if he killed the bridge
appropriation, as he could do the efTec,
would be to defeat all appropriations for the
Arsenal, and that would ruin any man O,
any party. He, therefore, regre,ting .ba,
he could not accede to Hawley, Robinson &
Cos request, must decline to interfere.
These are the facts, plainly stated-and
when the leading republicans we named or
Saturday will deny, By affidavit, that the,
saw Hawley's letter and Harding's answer
we shall be ready to pay the reward Offered
or hVe times the amount named, to an,
charitable object, to be named by the Youn,
Mems Christian Association. Can YOU pe
the affidavit, Mr.. Union2 Ifyou can't &c
1t, ls 1t not pretty good evidence that Haw
ley was willing to betray the interests of on
people to help Robinson & Co?
If he woald bstray the in nteres,a Of al, III
people of this county for his party friends
Spencer, Robinson & Co., is it not email,
certain that be has BETRAYED and will apsi,
betrsy il elected, the interests of the Wes
for his party friends East, the Protection.
