STAUNToN, Va Sept.


meeting was held at the Town Hall by the
| colored people for the purpose of expressing
| their feelings towards the day. AS it was on the
above day, eight years ago. the Proclamation of
| Freedom was issued. After listenin to address
es delivered by Judge Riley and others, the fol-
| lowing preamble and resolutions were offered by
Rev. VIM, B. Derrickeof the African NJ r..
church, in this town
| Whereas, eight years having passed away
sin ce the proclamation Of freedom was issued,
declaring tbs people of color in the South free,
and, whereas, said event has been annually eel
| ebrated in various sections of the land by the
| colored people, but we have failed in making
an open expression of our feelings in gratitude
| towards that power which brought about such
| an event
/ We, therefore, give an open an undivided ex-
! preston by offering the following that although
been silent on the matter we enjoy the boon with
I uplifted hearts. -

Republican Standard
BGarCFSs'

The New York Independ.
ent, (Rad.) in an editorial,
"The Political Outlook" has
the boldness to declare the
truth and say that ''every pi-
rate hearing down upon the
National Treasury now flies the
flag of RepublicaniSm." The
party is now, in its opinion, "a
hack for office-holders and
plunderers," which, fortunate.
ly, or unfortunately, for the
people, is the case with every
party that grows overly-strong
and continues too long in office.
But for some yeats past, the
Republican party has been, in
the language Of one of its
prominent literary members,
'the party of organized rascal
ity," and every pirate bearing
down upon the National
Treasury flew the flag of Re-
publicanism. 1t was called
''loyalty," but it meant plunder.
The people had to be hood
winked with some pet senti-
ment, while those who carried
the flag and marched under its
folds plundered the Treasury,
Jobbery and corruption are
now the elements that fix the
character of the Republican
Administration.

When you see n man with a

may depend upon it he keeps
a very small stock of it within.
DO not choose your friend

Don't go to law unless You
have nothing to lose; lawyers

In any business never wade
into water where you can not

A Convention to Change the
Constitution Of Ohio.

At the State election to be
held on the 10th of October
next the electors will vote up
on the question, "Shall there
he a convention to revise, alter
or amend" the Constitution of
OHIO? The act directing this
action by the electors was pass
ed by the Legislature on March
Goth, 1871, and is in accord
ancc with a provision Of the
present Constitution. There
has been little or no discussion
of this important issue in the
State, and the positions Of par
ties remain underlined. If it
so chance that oil the isms, er-
rors, venalities and villainies
that have crept into party pol,
itics during the last decade are
to be grated upon q new Con.
stitution by sham reformers and
bogus philonthropists, such as
have had power in this State
forthe last few years, no Con-
stitution should by held, and
the people had better determ-
inc to bear the ills they have
than fly to Others that they
know not of.

10 the Democracy Of the State Of O%
At meeting Of the Democratic
State Central Committee of Ohio, it
was resolved that the next Demo
cratic State Convention Of Ohio be
held in the city of Columbus, on
Thursday, June 1st, A. D. 1871
1t was also resolved that the basis
of representation in said Conven-
tion be as follows; That each
county in the State be entitled to
one delegate, and also to one dele,
gate for every five hundred votes
cast for Hon. William HeisIey, for
Secretary Of State, at the election
held on the second Tuesday Of Oc-
tober, A. D. 1870, and also one del
cgate for every fraction of two
hundred and fifty votes or over cast
for that gentleman at that time,
which basis Of representation viii

The following are the officers to be
nominated by the Convention;
Governor;
Lieutenant Governor;
Attorney General;
Auditor Of State;
Treasurer Of State;
Supreme Judge;
Member Board Of Public Works;
CommissioncT'of CommoE Schools
In announcing this call We deem
it not inappropriate TO add word
on the Importance Of the approach
ing Convention. The success ofthe
ticket to be nominated depends, in
IL very great degree, upon the men
to be put in nomination and the
harmony and unanimity Of the
nominations. TO this end it is de-
sirable and important that every
county should be fully represented,
and the will Of the people should be
ascertaincd and expressed as nearly
as possible. Tho. election will be
one of vital importance to the State
and country at large, and will have
an important influence upon the
great contest of 1872. With judi
cious selection of candidates and a
harmonious and united effort the
Democracy can and will redeem the
State from Radical misrule, and
answer back to the East, South and
West, The glorious news that Ohio is
true to the Constitution and Union.

Central Committee.

Who will be che Radical
Nominee for Governor?

w llO VIII UC NHC lOuNACUL
Nominee for Governor? +?
We have been asked a num-
Der Of times who the Radicals,
who shave fulfilled their mis-
sion," intend to nominate for
Governor. As we are not at all
posted in the matter, we will
give the views of o. B. Chap
man of the Pomeroy Telegraph
upon the subject. From that
paper of May II, we take the
following, and from the tone Of
which it seems the Radicals
are not so very sure Of carry
ing the State next fall, although
they have declared again and
again that the Democratic
party is dead :
The movement in favor Of
Gen. Noyes, as the Republican
candidate for Governor, con-
tinues all over the State.
The contest seems at pres
ent to lie between Ben. Wade
and Noyes, although the Ohio
State Journal considers that
Galloway is the latter's most
formidable competitor.
Ex-senator Wade has Il great
many warm supporters all over
the State, and we'll deserves
them for his integrity, consist.
ency and fearlessness.
But, as VIC have said before,
it is not a time when we can
talk Of any good candidate and
expect to elect him easily, and
especially we should find Mr..
Wade a heavy load to carry.
His speeches are like the man,
rough, out.spoken and bold;
and q few unguarded express
sions made without a particle
of tact, though without the
slightest intention to insult any
body, lost us hundreds of Ger
man votes in this district four
years ago.
We refer TO his speech in
Marietta, which our readers will
remember without going into
details.
Another disadvantage in this
case weighs heavily against him.
lie was one of the San Domin-
90 Commissioners, and it is en-
thusiastic for the acquisition of
that nest of yellow fever and
revolutionary cut-tbroats. Now
Mr.. Wade is perfectly honest
in this matter, and is firmly
convinced that we should add
largely to our resources and
find it easier to pay our public
debt 10y paying a few millions
of ready money for half the Is,
land Of Hayti, but such is his
utter want of tact that he
would probably make the an
nexation of San Domingo. the
burthen of his speeches, and
be completely blind to the fact
that there is no more unpopu-
lar question before the people
than this same annexation.
We have got to do our best
to carry the State this fall, and
we must strip for it and leave
aside everything that is likely
to hinder us.
As for Mr.. Galloway, his
nomination would be a great
misfortune.
No man should be even
named for the high Office Of
Governor against whom the
probable suspicion rests of hav-
ing made the national appoint
ments of his district a subject
of brokerage, and dividing the
profits thereof with such a fel-
