Canvass Opened.


was inaugurated here by
tho Grant party. They, or rather
the office-holders, hung Grant and
Wilson flag across the street from
the postOffice, and some of their
orators delivered Grant speeches in
the afternoon. A cOlored man,
whose name we do not know, had
the first talk. He had reached the
peroration when our reporter ar
rived. He, like most illiterate
orators, appeared more anxious to
make q noise and keep up the sound
than to attach sense or meaning to
his expressions. He assumed the
air Of much pompesity and self
esteem, and seemed partic ularly de-
sirous that the cOlOred people should
hink that he was very wise and
learned. The next speaker was
William OLeary (colored) who made
q sensible speech. He did not as
sumo the high-flown and bOmbastic
style of the first orator. He said
we had enough of Grant and his
carpet-bag office-holders for the last
three years. They have been rob-
bling the people by the most sys-
tematic mode of plumber, by high
taxation and otherwise, and we re :
ceive nothing in return for it, unless
to see the insOlent carpet-baggers
put on aristocratic airs. He said all
the carpet-baggers will leave here as
soon as they acquire some money,
or when they cannot get office; but,
said he, we colored people expect to
live and die here, and, therefore, let
us not estrange ourselves from the
white people among whom we must
remain, and whose interests and the
colored mans are identical. He
urged his cOlored friends to vote for
Greeley, who had always proved
himself to be their friend, instead Of
voting for Grant, who had always
been a Democrat until his nOmina-
ton for President.
The next speaker was q venerable
black man, who made q fierce Grant
speech. He said that Grant was the
greatest man that ever lived, and
compared him with the Savior Of
mankind. Poor, ignorant man
little did he know the awful bias
pbemy he was committing in com.
pairing a sinful creature with the
Creator. My colored friends, said
he, do you know who fought the
first battle for your freedom'
will tell you. 1t was Gen. Grant at
d" Buncum Hill" Grant, POlion
and " Wilmington were the three
greatest generals the world ever
saw. Gen. Grant marched through
this country with 1000 "calvry
for your freedom. He concluded by
saying they deserved to have theil
heads cracked if they did not vote
for Grant.
At this stage of the proceedings
Major Williams, inspector of schools
and candidate for Congress, was
loudly called for. He did not make
his appearance, as it is said he was
at that time giving one of his inter
esting Shakespearian readings. II
must be admitted the Major ia a
most excellent reader, and particu
larly when he is full of the spirit Of
the subject.
Col. Singleton was next called for
and he made q few pertinent re
marks in his usually impressive ant
plain style. He compared Greeley
with Grant, and showed the cOlOret
men why they should vote for thu
FORMER rather than the latter. HI
said, Greeley had been an Adolf
ZIONIST for 30 years, and continues
to be the prOfessed and tried frient
of the black man, and Grant wa

Many persons among us cannot
believe that any large faction of the
Republican party will support Mr..
Greeley in the now begun Presi-
Dental campaign. We think they
are mistaken in this. We think that
tho people of the North, and es-
pecially the original Abolition ele-
ment, who founded the Republican
party, are with Mr.. Greeley, and
that al that is left to Mr.. Grant OF
tho Old guard Of the Republican
party are few embittered fanatics
and their followers, and that class of
men called political BURNERS, that
become Incorporated into every sue
oessfal political party, most of them
coming from the beaten Democratic
party, 1T followers of Morton and
Butler. Mr.. Greeley is q type of
that old abolition body of men-a
mag like the Massachusetts Adamses

upon his sympathies, combined with
his best Judgments man thus pre-
eminentiy honest. The large num-
Der Of agricultural and plain country
people Of New England and the
Middle States are men much like
Mr.. Greeley they wanted the black
man FREQ because they thought he
was abused, and should have a
chance to educate himself and his
children, acquire property, and be-
come thrifty and industrious. Fur
ther. they believed that if all men
became free that the civilization
which they possessed, their laws,
their manners and their customs,
all Of which they conceived to be of
the utmost necessity to all people
who desired morality, freedom and
happiness, would become, er xeccs-
state rel, those of the whole cOun.
try, and thus the United States OF
America would become h0mogene
Gus - to its laws, habits, customs
and peoples. But they never did
intend that this freedom of the black
man should descend to icentiouf
oppression of the white man, and
instead of the elevation of the negro
in mind, fortune and morality, end
in the reduction of the white race to
something of the level Of the BLACK
race. Mr.. Greeley and these Abo
litiOnists knew full well that the
negro could never reach anything
like the white race in point of civil
xati0n unless the Southern whites
could Be induced to adopt theil

AT this season the vegetable world takes
a new lease Of life; but to the sensitive and
delicate members of the human family 1t
is a time of danger and often of great suffer-
ing. The moisture which rises from the
earth and hangs suspended over IL in the
form of the morning and evening mists
and fogs, holds in solution, so to speak, the
mephitic elements which produce fever
and ague, remittent fevers, rheumatism,
and many painful nervous disturbances,
and which aggravate dyspepsia, bilious
ness and all minor affections Of the stom-
ach and bowels. This, therefore, Is a crit
ical period of the year, a season when the
renovatIng, refreshing and purifying ope-
rations of the mightiest Of all vegetable
tonics and alternatives, Hostetters Stomach
Bitters, is salvation TO the weak, and the
best security for the continuance of the
health and vigor of the strong. Now Is the
time not only to protect the system against
the common ailments OF the season, but TO
prevent the disorders incident to a warmer
temperature. Let not the eXhausting
heats of the summer months find you un-
prepared to meet them. A course of Hos

LETTER FROM TAYLOR COUNTY.
A PostpOBement Sugsesfed-SOme
Matters Worthy of COnsidera-
lion.

TAYLOR COUNTY, w. VA, May |.
Editors of the Register:
In to-day's paper | notice the pro
ceilings OF a meeting held at the Court
House of Doddridge county, on the 9th
ult. Among other things, they APP
pointed delegates to meet at Grafton on
the 2Sth of May, to nominate can
didate for Judge in this circuit. This
is the first intimation that we OF Taylor
county have had that a Convention
would be held at Grafton at that time
Surely the movement is premature.
Conventions TO nominate candidates for
Judges of the several circuits in the
State should not be held until after the
nominations are made at Parkersburg,
on the 30th. After that time we will
know what material is left us for
judges in the circuits. We want an
opportunity afforded us to obtain the
best man we can for this high aud
responsible position. 1t is Of vital i'm
portance that IN this, and every other
circuit in the State, we have for Judges
of the Circuit Courts men OF sterling
qualities Of head and heart. We want
the best lawyers We can get, all other
things being equal. | hope it will not
be the pleasure of the several counties
in this circuit TO acquiesce in this
movement. Why this haste? We
have abundance of time LETT US between
the 30th of May and the fourth Thurs
day in August. Let the convention
proposed TO be held on the 2Sth of May
be postponed to a later day. Give the
people time to read the amended Con-
stitution, and then sufficient time to de.
termine who they will have Tor their
Judges, after they see who are nomina-
ted Tor Judges Of the Court Of Appeals
and for other State officers. We hope
our friends in the county Of Doddridge
will be satisfied to wait till after the
State nominations are made. Then it
will afford the people Of Taylor great
pleasure to meet and greet the dele
gates from Doddridge and other coun-
lies in this circuit at Grafton, and make
the nomination of o candidate for
Judge. The Democracy Of Taylor will
be at their posts on the fourth Thursday
in August and prove themselves as they
have done in the past. Very truly,
ONE OF THE PEOPLE.

Democratic PrOspects-A Good Can
<iidate for State Senator.
WRIT C., H., W. Va. May l, 1872.
Editors of the Register:
As the only Democratic organ in our
Judicial and Senatorial District has
suspended publication, have concluded
to write you short letter for the pur-
pose of informing our friends how we are
progressing in this section. Our party
in this county is in good spirits and
well organized. The Constitution Is
well received as far as | have heard and
Office seekers are, as usual, very nu-
merous. The race for Judicial honors
bids fair to be a close one, as both the
gentlemen now seeking the nomi'
nation are men of acknowledged
ability and have done good
work for the party in DAYS Of yore. l
cannot as yet predict with any degree
of certainty which will be successful,
bat will watch the contest closely and
keep you posted upon it as it progresses.
Hon. J. n. Camden seems to be the
acknowledged fayorite here for the posi-.
ton of Governor, and think is we'll
deserving of the nomination. He is a
hard worker, a pure Democrat, and is
always ready to aid, with his time, ener-
gies and money, in gaining victory.
As to our candidate for the Senate but
little has been said upon the question
as vet and the aspirants for that office
have not vet made their appearance.
For that position we need men of ability
and experience; men who are familiar
with the Constitution which we are
about to adopt, and who have helped
to frame it, so far as such men
can be secured. Such a man we
have here in our midst If
he will accept the nomination. D. II.
Leonard Esq, would, in my opinion,
be one Of the most suitable men we
conld find TO represent us in the next
Senate. He 10 man of education and
ability, is one OF the trainers Of the new
Constitution and is one Of the firmest,
purest Democrats in the State; born
and raised within the fold of the
party, he never has forsaken its glori-
Gus teachings and in its darkest hours
c!ung to the principles Of Democracy
with the affection OF son. Should the
Democracy of this district see fit to
nominate Mr.. Leonard as one OF our
Senators he will fill the position with
honor to himself and to the satis'acr
ton of his constituents. HUGH.

The Coal Miners Strike.
Editors of the Register:l

Editors of the Register:l
As the coal miners strike is about
all over and the men have gone to
work again, wish, through this medi-
um, to lay before the public few more
facts concerning the difficulty and the
result. That the coal miners OF Wheel
ing and Benwood have been defeated is
evident, and that their condition is rem
dered worse by the defeat no one can
gainsay, as they might as well or better
have gone TO work at the first, before
ever anything in the strike had been
done at all, and thereby have saved
their time from being lost but, as it is,
we can only say as conquered men do
under every other circumstance-that
is. we surrender; and now, when our
defeat is complete, we wonder how it is
that we are so easily beaten. Well, the
plain fact is this: we are at the present
a disorganized mass OF humanity and
seem to be living as did the descendants
of Ishmael, our hand against every man
and every mans hand against us. We
have lived for ourselves only, and cared
nothing what became of our fellow
men, so long as we could make any
Roadway at all; but we find that this is
not the way. If we wish, as body or
class of men, 20 better our condition, to
make our labour of more value in the
market and to raise ourselves in the
scale of society, we must be united. The
old adage stands good yet" United We
stand; divided we fall; )" and 80 we are
trying another experiment in the Union
motive, and although by some we are
only looked upon as men who wish to
deceive them, and by others as men to
be feared; yet, after all, we have good
show for start and expect
to receive mutual sympathy and
support from our fellow.miners and
the public in general, as we are con-
cious of this great truth, that without
aid and sympathy we cannot accom-
plish anything OF any importance. And
through this channel wish to make an
appeal to all branches of industry to

StiI,Ano,her Radical Thief.

Another Of General Grants friends
and appointees has been indulging in a
little financiering. George D. Orner,
Collector of Revenue for the Fifth
District OF Missouri, has only served
two years, and yet his records show
that he is 100000 behind in paving
our government money. $4,000 per
year in addition to regular pay is good
wages for Arner, who is a red hot sup
porter of Grant for denomination, and
denounces Sumner, Trumbull and
Schurz as traitors and disloyal men.
In all quarters of the country General
Grants officeholders are stealing the
peoples money, in sums from one
hundred dollars to halt million. And
what is done to punish the guilty par
ties and protect the Treasury?
Nothing; political influences are
brought to bear upon the government;
the ability of the culprits to elect del
egates stated, and there the matter
ends.
