To the editor of the belmont CnsonicIe.
SIR:-In a recent communication,
we were made, by mistake, to saw that
DIR. NNeyer fused to be the dignified
and happy p6ssessor, OF two 'niggers. -
This is mistake; DIR. Weyer is not
happy, and, If he had come into pos
session of those negroes, he would in
self-esteem have reached the acme of
his glory, and would certainly be en-
joying the highest beatifcation and
most placid peace of mind that the
mental conception or man is capable of
begettlng. We have reason to believe
that the subject who evidently desires
to constitute pillar Of granite in the
great Democratic temple of dark ages
who wants to constitute footprint in
the immutable rocks of time, would at
that time rather by far have been the
negro driver Of Missouri than to have
had the honor of representing Bel
mont County in the Legislature of
Ohio, but the fates decreed against
him. We wish to make plain state
ments Of facts, and hope it is under
stood that DR.. Weyer was onlyan aspi-
rant, as he evidently is now, to this po-
litical sanctifcation, to be the embodi-
ment Of this political, high moral tone
of character to which the American
system Of slavery made the slave OWL
er's heirs; which by the system was
inoculated into the characters of. the
Ichivalrous Southerners, but to which
be never attained. We do not accuse
him Of going to Missouri to establish a
medical practice, as he was at that
time practicing physician, but we do
suppose that, ir the Immaculate purity
of his:incontaminated and reverent
heart, he really went to Missouri to
put himself in the way of social eleva-
ton; for he said, ssI will go to Missouri
and when I go there I viii procure a
big buck nigger to w.li5 a. -. an a
big she nigger to wall Oh iny wife. "
| Here is the evidence before as, but
the sequel shows conclusively that hav-
| ing failed in this very commendable
enterprise having failed in becoming
big light, he concluded to once more
set his face to the East, though wear
ing the look of disappointment; to-
downcast and detected, and there re-
vived by the rising sun rejecting over
the hills of Capteen, consent to be a
lesser light to rule the night of dead
issues, and to represent the pro-slavery
pro-ignorance and pro-war element OF
Belmont County in the Legislature
We desire to give DR.. Weyer credit fol
his tenacity, for his adhesivenesS. We
think he is still ambitious, and yet de.
sires TO be big light, and will oppose
all these new-fangled notions of his
party, called 1aegroisDls, until his mil.
Ienium dawns and he enjoys the meri
dian on that glorious day on the morn
of which he is to be r. nked among the
chiyalry, the hierarchy of slavedom
of course, in the meantime, consenting
to be a lesser light, giving out its spark;
in the Ohio Legislature, and shedding
! its scintillating briIliancy on the pages
of Autobiography. If the Doctor vii
just hold on; if he will only remain
still until that day sheds its mollifiet
rays over the Christian hosts, anC
Isoftens their hearts to the degree o
comprehending the true wants of thei
brethern of African descent, and re
turns them to the enjoyment of thu
4 blissfulness Of slavery, then, and no
till then, will this present patriarch en-
10y the plentitude of his coveted happi
! ness and dignity. Then, and not til
,lthen, will he be the recipient of tina
lfuIIness of happiness which flows il
