Special tn the Register
Returning here after an absence 0
several days, ! have just seen and rcac
the call of the Republican State Contra
Committee, for a State Convention a
Parkcrsburg, on June 22d. The docu
ment is most tender and touching if tn,
solemn solidity of its proportions b,
kept ont OF view. The first and mos
important topic which the call discusse:
is the negro. The prominence giver
this forlorn topic of Radicalism in Yves
Virginia is eminently proper. Take The
negro out Of politics and YOU deprive
the faithful of an object for thcil
PRAYERS, the demagogucs of the last ana
lowest element they can manipulate, the
fanatics of their pet howling text. and
all the loyal fools Of the body and
soul and hrec'hc- Of their political he
lief Let the negro live. if by that
means tie Republican party in West
Virgins can be kept in condition t,
relieve It's impending hogging Of the
charge of harharity to helpless crea
lures.
And as the colorcd brother i re
minded that's he has now the same
concern as other citizens in the delib
erations of party conventions, or ii
other words. that his pa!e-taccd loyal
friends hope he will overlook their mis-
fortune in being born white, and honor
them with the responsibility of his pres
encc at Parkcrsburg on the occasion il
question, aud if possible, with the more
substantial aid a. his ballot at the Fal
election. Common humanity ought tc
impcl the sable-c0!orcI citizen TO re
spGnd in liberal spirit If yonr OK OF
vour ass fall into pit, even on th'
Sabbath day, it is your lawful duty tC
help him out. Can the negro do less
for the "loyal' cattle who have pulled
him so far along that "hard road Il
travel, the political Jordan, anC
who now. from the midst Of the mir,
in which they. faint and founder, bcSc
his ears with the constant cry, Save
Cuff, or we perish.
Enforcing this appeal toncgro charity
for political salvation, the Intelligence,
reminds its ebony allies that the Dem
ocrats are their natural enemies, and
that the same malicious vengeance that
melted Shylock to pursue his victim
with whetted knife, for the pound OF
flesh" should fill their breasts us they
enter political Convention, the success
of whose measures means the perpetual
vassalage and persecution of the dis
franchiscd white men of the State Lest
there he no sympathy for loyal sut'
FERN. in the ncgros breast, the demon
of revenge there residents invoked.
Ignoring. if YOU can, the course Of The
God-andmorality party in pandering
for success to negro passion, contem
plate the spectacle that will be pre-
scented when these West Virginia phil
anthropists convene for their noble
work on June 22i. Among the men
there assembled, men who now bid the
negro hate the Democrats for that the
Democrat held him as slave, You viii
possibly perceive one United States Sen
ator, an ex-slave holder, who, in 1860
declared his willingness to take his
musket and fight for his right to carry
his slaves into the territories, The
plural form Slaves" was quite poetic

that time consisting of one ven
cradle, decrepid and worn out

vitude nv decent slave owner, and We
valuable enough to warrant the philan
throphist in exacting few more un
recompensed services. Another United
States Senator may then be seen who IL

to appropriate a million of dollars t.
enable the State to fight for what he nov
calls with low-browed, owlish empha
sis, 'the accursed system OF human
bondage" and not far off will prooaoi!
