Utilized for Grant.

The Republican National Executive
Committee had meeting in New York
lost Wednesday and in the telegraphic re-
port Of its proceedings we find that espe.
cial attention was paid to the campaign in
West Virginia. The report says "a sug.
gestion was considered from West Virginia
looking to the utilization of all the Gle.
ments opposed to Democratic Liberalism
in that State" We understand by Dem.
ocratic Liberalism the sentiment that fav.
ors Horace Greeley in preference to Gen.
Grant for President Of the United States.
All the elements opposed to this sentiment
in West Virginia are to be utilized" for
Grants success. The Jacob men. the en-.
emies Of the new Constitution, and, gene.
rally, every element that is in opposition
to the regular nominees of the Democratic
party. are to be utilized" made tools Of
in the effort to retain Grants plunderiug
administration in power This is but an
other phase Of the "limted partnership
spoken Of by Colonel Swami, at Charles
ton. The Jacob men are to be utilized"
for the defeat Of the new Constitution and
when accomplished it it is thought that the
State will be certain for straight Radical
ticket in October and for Grant in Novcm.
Der.
In this the Radical leaders are cacula-
ting with much shrewdness. The friends
of Governor Jacob may aim only at his
election and think that they can avert the
the evils that will follow. But they will
DO powerless to cope with the Radicals
who will then turn upon them aud reud
them, and, having once broken up the Or
ganization Of the Democratic party iu the
State, they will find themselves unable to
avert repetition Of Radical misrlle.-
Thoso,who ere now dissatisfied with the
Democratic nominations must preparethem-
selvesto go through With the whole Radical
programme and see thenew Constitution de.
feated, q straight Republican ticket elected
10 October, and the Eve electoral votes Of
West Virginia cast for General Grant, or
they must refuse to take the single step in
that direction to which they are craftily en-
ticed. They must throw themselves en-
tirely over to the Radical ranks, or they
must halt where they are. They arc be-
mg "ats!iled" by Tue Republican Nation.

1.-THE above circulars being distributed
sealed, and under Senator Boreman's frank,
to active Radicals in the several counties.
Let Democrats and Conservatives read it
over and over, and ask themselves, ifthey
are willing to contribute by their votes, iu-
6uencc, and opposition to the New Const.
tuition aud to Mr.. Camden. to giving the
'death blow" to their party organization
in this State. No true Democrat will in
the least do such thing Democrats you
see by this secret circular what the Radi.
Gals propose to do; how they are working
to defeat the New Constitution. Upon
the ratification Of the New Constitution the
Democratic Conservative party stand. It
is as much the duty Of Democrats to vote for
Ratification" as it is for them to vote for
the nominees Of their party.

willing and even anxions to obtain a nom.
