The Political Views OF Ex-Secretary
Wellea,

The St. Louis Times makes public q
verv forcible and we'll written letter from
ex-Secretary Of the Navy Gideon
Welles. He says; We were a good
deal disappointed with the result at
Cincinnati. 1t would have been diff
cult to have found more disagreeable,
Objectionable candidate to three-fourths
of the men who must vote for him, il he
is to be elected, than Horace Greeley.
But while have for lifetime been
opposed TO Greeley on most sub
iects, think him infinitely preferable to
Grant. The question is not a personal
one, and ought not to be so considered.
The Republican party has performed
its mission. Its organization is kept up
and prolonged, not to promote essential
prlnci pies, not tor the interests OF the
country, but to subserve the, selfish pur-
pose OF few individuals who have
their own ends to accomplish. Under
these circumstances change OF Admin
istration is absolutely necessary. We
must get rid of Grant, Grantism and
The hateful policy which for several
wears has heen pursued, or our Federal
system Of United States will be entirely
subverted = n r Some Of the ex'
IRENE and impracticabe tree traders, as
they call themselves, propose a new
ticket This, if it can do anything,
will aid Grant and existing evils. Why
talk OF free trade and revenue while the
Government is in perll2 am for res
cuing the Government and preserving
free institutions before contendlng on
mere matters OF expediency. Grant
has not single qualification for Chief
Mag strate. Greeley has some. Grant
has some vulgar cunning and is ex.
trrmelv selfiah and avaricious. Greeley
has intellect and generous and patriotic
instincts. II he is elected he will have
a new and different Congress, and all
Presidents are more or less influenced
by their friends.

Honorable J. n. Benuett.

Anannonymous correspondent Of the
Wheeling IntsRigencer, recommends the
filling out Of the Jacob Radical pros
gramme. and suggests the name OF Hon.
]. NJ. Bennett, as Auditor on the
ticket. thus intending to convey the in
sinua,ion that this gentleman ravors
the schemes OF these plotters and dis
organizers. Without any expression
from him, we knew that he would not
sacrifice his well deserved and lifelong
reputation for staunch Democracy and
integrity, for the Office OF Auditor in
this State, or any other bribe that could
be offered by the. bolters. We now
know authoritatively, that Mr.. Bennett
entirely repudiates sll such connect on,
and this unauthorized use Of his Darne,
and will cordially support the Dem.

ton Hnds no sympathy with him.

From the Martinsburg Statesman.I
Governor j. j. JACOB.

Governor y. . jacob
1t is a matter Of sincere regret to all
Democrats and Conservatives in this
State, that Governor Jacob, evidently
acting under a strong feeling of unde-
served injustice done him at Parkers-
burg, has thought proper to announce
himself as an independent candidate
for re election to the position he now
holds; and that this announcement
has given to the Radical party a
resuscitation in West Virginia, which
under no other possible circumstances
could it ever again have succeeded
in regaining. Viewed in this light-It
no other-the independent candidacy OF
Governor Jacob is to be deplored by all
the Conservative classes OF our citizens,
and none more so than those who were
the victims Of Radical tyra, ny and
prescription. II ever party deserved
to be- buried so deep that the hand of
resurrection could never reach it-if
ever there existed party organization
that merited "the deep damnation Of
its taking off, that party was the vi-
laiuous political organization known as
the Republican party Of West Virginia
But two years ago it ruled with an iron
hand aud despotic will the people OF
this State. Under its proscriptive sway,
twenty thousand of our best citizens
were denied all privileges of citizen
ship aul this reign Of terrorism and
devilish prescription was sought to be
entailed by meaos the most corrupt
ever attem pied under any form of gov
ernment on earth. Happily the reek-
ing and putrid fraud upon the name OF
FREE government, contained within It's
own organism, the seeds OF its own dis
solution. No people, not absolutely
demoralized aud depraved-forsaken OF
God and damned before their death
could long continue to maintain such a
monstrosity over them. BY the
weight of its own disgusting corruption
it fell to fragments-never more 10
curse the State by any recuperative
power ofits own.
1t has remained then for one, who
who more than any other single citizen
OF the State, done himself immortal
credit in stabbing the foul ghost to
death, to seek again to galvauize into
lite its loathsome corpse But it cannot
be done, nor should it be! We tell
Governor Jacob that he entirely mis-
rakes the feeling of the people OF
West Virginia. Having put their feet
upon the throat of Radicalism, stran-
gied the breath from its vile carcass
and buried it out Of sight, they will
never consent 10 its resurrection. For
his own sake, ard tor the sake of those
who felt keenIy the wrong that was
done him at Parkersburg-if wrong it
was-we ask him to recons der his
purpose. We teel like vinditariug him
from the aspersions of his former atject
fiatterers in this State, but persInal
Ice ings will not control us, If thereby
we would lit one stone from the deep
grave to which we have aided 10 con.
signing the vile monster of Radlcalism,
whose vindictive, proscrip,ive sway will
be forever a blot upon the name OF
government

DOM PIArr says there are two sea-
sons in which our Administration seeks
repose from its gigantic labors-one is
that which preceies the holidays, and
the other that which follows. In view
of this peculiar arrangement on the
part OF our honest, over-worked officials,
II is now proposed to give Grant aod bis
relations an extended leave OF absence,
without paw, beginning on the 4th of
March, 1873, and terminating with the
death OF the parties aforesaid This
will, no doubt, be entirely satisfactory
particularly TO the taxpayers.

ON the part Of the King s Cabinet, that
the United States Minister in Madrid

The schedule provides that it and

have the opportunity to read and
study the Constitution for him

Of it's merits. Why has this not been
done by Governor Jacob? The Repub-

he omits no duty. Willthe Republican
leaders, who now champion Governor
Jacob and who compose his privy coun-
Gil while at the same time they accuse
the Democratic party Of keeping the
Constitution out OF the reach OF the
people, be kind enough to explain why
il is that this plainly expressed and i'm

now in the camp OF the enemy. The
Democratic party is no longer answcra-

We are pleased to learn that the

Committee have made arrangements to
have the new Constitution and schedule
published for the information of the
people, and that they will soon be ready

A Personal Administration

Scarcely had the new Administration
been placed in power before it became
manifest that the gentleman at its head
recognized no Obligations to aid the
Democratic party in the fuliiIlment oi
its pledges. His purpose was early
disclosed, to give a purely personal
character to his management Of affairs.
The leading Democrats Of all part OF
the State; the men whose means and
labor had given him his prominence
and his power for Use illness, were ill.,
su,tingly spurned from his counseIs.
His personal friends in both parties
were admitted to his intimate
association, g,virg direction to
the patronage to which the Democratic
party was fairly entitled, and shape to
an Administration for which the Demo.
cratic party was responsible. The bold
declaration from his closest confdant,
of his purpose to defy the Democratic
party should it iaii to renomina,e him,
made certain all that VAS before d dDubt,
tuI, aud convinced the thoughtful that
the thing formed had become greater
than It's creator and that the complete
subservency of the Democratic party
to the purposes oI Governor Jacob, was
essential to the retention of his diStin-
su,shed regards,
The enterprise which the Governor is
now leading Tor the destruction OF the
Democratic party, represents simply a
struggle between the Democratic cause
in West V,rg MIA and the personal am
bit on Of single man Upon the one
rs staked all that the Democracy have
achieved IN the State; upon the other
