WEST VIRGINIA POLITICS.
'ur Weak Points and our strong Ones.
The Duty ol the Democracy.


We have recently furnished two tables, illus.
trating our weakness aud our power over the
politics Of this State.
That the Democracy can win in test of its
power, is made manifest by those tables.
We present below another table, designed to
show the places where success is an assured
fact-where the Democracy must work to win
and where we give tho people over to the con-
dition which awaits ull those who worship false
gods.
AS to the first, no encouragement is needed
their path is smooth.
In respect to the second, we expect much.
They must work carly and late.
They must bring every man to tho registrar
and to the polls.
They must assist those they bring in vindi-
eating their right to register and vote.
They must assist them in all things under
State and Eederal laws.
The third class are hopeless.
They ore demented.
We do not expect to improve their condition.
They have no hopes Of success, and VIC have
no hopes Of their improvement.
We impress upon our patrons the Importance
of reading figures. &
They are dry, but nevertheless they pre-
sent mathematical truths that any one may pro-
6tably study.
flour figures in the table we present to-day be
true, we have nothing to fear.
They illustrate our strength rs we'll as our
weakness and all we ask is the energy, promptncss
and efficiency of our friends.
With these qualities We must win in all the
Federal and State Offices.
Let the Democracy read the table, and work
to accomplish what seems to be required.

Who Liedf

We understand that tho three Delegates
from this county who attended the meet
ing of tho Am,lgamation, Miscegnatiou
Society recently held at P arkersburg, un-
der the auspices of,he radical party, have,
since their return, declared that there
were no negro Delegates present at the
meeting. Now no don't care acontiueu-
tai cent whether there were or not; but
we'll bet.our old hat somebody has lied
about the matter. The following para
graph we quote from the Wheeling Daily
lnteuigeneer. the leading radical organ in
the State, by which il will be seen that it
does not agree with the three worthy Del
cgates from our County:
"a feature Of the Convention not to be
overlooked was the presence offrom dozen
to twenty colored delegates, who were
scattered through the several delegations,
and who in all respects comported them
selves like intelligent gentlemen. It is
equally worthy Of mention that in no quar-.
ter was there the slightest ma nifestation Of
dissatisfaction OF their presence The
white delegates also conducted themselves
like gentlemen in being entirely obliyious
Of the fact, 50 fur as any outward sign
manifested the contrary, that tho delegates
we're not all Of equally fair complexion. /"
We are glad to learn that "the white
Delegates also conducted themselves like
gentlemen" for wo were fearful that men
who were willing to sell .hei. birth.right
for mess Of pottago-their principles for
% little cash-and their manhood for the
sake of attending negro Jubilee at other
peoples expense, might also forget their
gentility. But as we said before, some.
body has lied, for tho Parkersburg Time,,
the radical organ published at the city
wherein the Convention was held, says |:
"a good many colored Delegates were
present at the Convention, and, strange to
say, no man, except few Democrats,
sncered at them. They behaved in on
exemplary manner, and no republican oh.
jected to their participation in their Con.
vention. The republican party being the
party of progress, they at last practically
illustrated and adopted the solemn declara.
ton Of our great Charter Of Indepen.
dence, "that all men are created equal"
Prejudces are slowly, bu! surely, fading
away; after q few years we will be sur
prised that We made SO much fuss about
the negro"

A Word to the Democracy.

We feel it our duty Us a Democratic
journalist to urge the Democratic vo'ers
throughout the State to prepare for tue
fall campaign!
To one ard all we address the solemn
warning. Ifyou would be victorious, be
active, be vigilant, and be courageous
Assert your right to vote, identified to it.
and let no irresponsible registrar deny or
deter you from exercising this dearest OF
all human rights, Remember that you
can only be freemen by its exercise, and
through its exercise alone can you have
voice in the government over you,
which you aid with your taxes to sup
port and maintain.
We can sweep the enemies of our own
white race from power, and elect all our
candidates, if every legal Democratic
voter will but do his duty.
The act of Congress to enforce the
right Of tho citizens OF tue United States
to vote in the several States of the Union,
is now conceded by The republicans to
apply to white equally as well as black
voters; and that every white voter enti-
tied to vote under our State Constitution,
cru noe do so yhe chosesl
This now being M admitted right, we
hope no Democratic voter in the State
will allow any excuse or business-no
mater how pressing, to cause him to
neglect any prerequisite required which
entities him to vote.
All tho ties which bind you to your
wives and your children, as well as your
own self.rcspect as men and fresmcn, en-
join upon you this sacred duty.
Remember the words of o great philos.
opher, that "Braye men and freemen die
but once. while towards are always dy-
ing ]" To tho ,imid we psint to the Hero
ofthe Hermitage. that they may draw in.
spira.ion from bis ashes, and take courage.
Then, for one, we say, "Know you
are right and dare maintain it"-ifeven.
it costs you your lives-"fOr letter ice

Nur chances at The Coming Election,

Our Chances at the Coming Election,
1t is discouraging for the Wheeling
Register to admit defeat in the I'd Con-
gressional District.
This admission is not justified by any
fact before Us.
Upon the contrary, the Democracy will
not be defeated there or else here in this
State, unless under the advice of our co.
temporary, which we 50 much respect,
and whose admissions go SO far to control
our destiny.
We claim that the day of our deliver
ancc is at hand, and we trust our friends
will improve that day.
Let doubters look OF the table in an.
other column ofto.day's paper.
The table presented has conceded ey-
erything to the radicals which by all pos
sibility they can get.
To show that this is SO. we have added
but 80 votes to be registered in this eour-
ty, while in fact We have the names Of
fee hundred and siaiy. who arc disfrun-
chised-one-half Of whom, at least, will be
registered and vote tho Democratic ticket.
1t is made upon fixed principle Of
mathematics; and while in detail it may
be inaccurate in exceptional cases, yet the
result in the aggregate cannot be ques
toned, except in so far as the progress of
the political parties of the age may control
it, md that progress is all in our favor.
