NOMINATION FOR CONGRESS.

1t would have most happy effect if the
gentlemen who are announced for Congress
would pledge themselves to abide nomina-
ton. The contest would then be narrowed
down to choice between the nominee of the
conservative party and radical, or what is
worse, some demagogue of nondescript prin-
ciplcs who depends upon radical votes.
We make this suggestion as we hear it
whispered certain parties threaten to run in
dependent, and we want them spotted SO we
can compel them to take their chances in con-
vention, or acknowledge the corn aud admit
that they expect radical support.
In this view, it seems to US, common SELF
respect should induce the gentlemen who are
pressing forward for the office, to put them-
selves square on the record.
The different papers, we expect, will hasten
to speak for their respective favorites. but we
do beg these gentlemen to answer each one
for himself = then, and not before, will the
party be able to act.

OUR COUNTY CONVENTIONS.

Possibly it will be as we'll for the Conven-
tion, which assemblies on the 22nd inst, to
ascertain as far as practicable the truth of the
report that some Of our aspirants for ONCE,
especially those for the SherifaIty, are co.
quoting with the Radical party by promising
that as return for, its support, the deputy of
the particular aspirant shall be selected from
that party. We have no way Of judging of
the future but by the past, and viewing the
matter in the light from the lamp of expe-
rience, even a coquetting for the Radical vote
by any aspirant ought to be fatal to his
chances. with the Convention. He that is not
for us is against us, and no man can profess
to be Democratic>C Conservative aud yet owe at
least portion of his political allegiance to the
party which, when in power, passed Election
and Registration laws, and'required iron clad
oaths from suitors, attorneys at law, jurors,
&C., in all cases where such persons were not
of undoubted loyalty. Our people should re-
member that, unfortunately, our new Consti>
tuition is not yet the law of the land, and even
with the "Flick Amendment" to the present
Constitution, the ascendancy of the Radical
party would be calamity to all who can not
boast (?) of having been always "truly loyal"
1t is no feeling of intolerance, for honest diff
ference of political opinion which renders us
DESTROYS of drawing broadly the line between
the two parties. It is merely the instinct of
self preservation, that first law of pature,
which tells us that it may yet be fatal to adj
NIT the enemy to the camp, partially disarmed
though he has been. Each member of the
Convention should feel it his duty, when an
aspiraut is proposed for nomination, to state
any reason he may have for believing that
such aspirant has been treating with the
enemy, and if the reason seems plausible the
aspirant should be called up, and made to purge
himself, in the presence of the people, of so
damaging suspicion. If the enemy's teeth
were drawn by the adoption of our new Con.
stitution we would not SO much fear his bite,
but until then, we must protect ourselves.

The Canpa1gn
SPIRIT OF JEFFERSON.

We offer to the public, and especially TO the mem
bers of the Democratic Conservative party of this
and the adjoining counties of West Virginia, a
campaign paper which we have made arran gements
to issue for six MONTHS commencing with the pres
,ent issue, and ending the LIST day of December at
the remarkably low price of
= ONE DOLLAR,
payable in advance. Wewill publish the plat forms
of the several political Conventions held and to be
held, respectively, at Cincinnati. Baltimore, and
Philadelphia; the letters of acceptance of the
erai candidates, their antecedcnts and political
affiliations; and in fine, all the most interesting
political developments which maytranspire during
the campaign, now already opened, and soon to be-
come rife with incidents of extraordinary interest.
We intend to make our campaign paper bold, de-
cided and, if possible, living power in the ap-
preaching contest, and to that end ask tho CO.
operation of the party thr "ghout the country Let
every Conservative Democrat who is not already a
subscriber, take the
"cAMPAIGM SPIRIT OF JEFFERSON"
Tor six months, until this fight is over; if your
neighbor is too poor to take it, subscribe for 1t for
him. Take two or three numbers and distribute
them. Let us all aid in building up and CONSOLE
dating magnificent organization in West Vir-
sinia, which may be always relied upon to wcld an
influence even beyond her own borders. Standing
midway, as we do. between the Conservative party
OIL the south, and the great party Of the
North; we recognize them as one party in present
aims. purposes and organization; and we mean to
advocate a thorough consolidation for the purpose
ofarresting the centralizing tendency of the Fed
eral Government. We nail the colors of this party
to our mast, and shall follow the direction indica-
ted by their UNITED Council. to be assembled in
Baltimore, on the 9th of july 1872: This regar
as the duty and true policy for every Conservative
Democrat in the county TO pursue.

OUR PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE,

=. Among the truest men to the South during
our late War were some of those who up to the
last moment, denied the right and the ex-
pediency of secession. Those men felt it their
duty to protest against an act which, when
committed, they adopted as their own, aud
defended with a courage which rendered them
distinguishable in an army whose heroic deeds
will eAtort admiration from even those of
future generations who deny the juctice of the
cause in which it won SO much glory. We
are not going to compare ourselves with those
men; but certainly the case may cited to
show that it is quite possible to deny the ex>
pediency of an act, and afterwards when its
commission renders further protest useless, to
adopt it as our own, and defend it with what
ever ability we may possess. While we
promise never to lay claim to any of the merit
of having been an original Greeley man should
Mr.. Greeley fulfil the brightest expectations,
We equally pledge ourselves not to be so un-
generous as to say 81 told you so" should he
not give as thorough satisfaction as is now
anticipated. Whatever of simple distaste, or
positive aversion some of US may feel for our
nominee, it is obvious that he is the only man
with whom we can now hope to beat Gen.
Grant, and as the defeat of Grant is a con-
summation devoutly to be wished, it is car.
tainly our duty to rally with uuanimity around
the only man who can depose our present die
tator. We have always thought that those of
our best men who have SO little confidence in
Mr.. Greeley as to prefer Grant, would at the
last moment when they were actually put to
the test, give in their adherence to the man
whom the Democratic party-whether wisely
or not, we won't say has seen proper in a
regularly constituted Convention to nominate.
We shall expect, therefore, long before No
vember, to hear that the Wises, Mosbys and
other good and true men have receded from
what, with due Difference, We believe to be a
false position ; and now that the die is cast,
and the Rubicon actually crossed, they will
doubtless be found in the vanguard of the
army which has now started straight for Rome,
and which we feel assured will make Pompey
