way of thinking for themselves, regardless
of the approval or ccnsure Of che Richmond

mails. They do not exert the least influence,
or cause the least concern, let their course be
what it may. The time has passed when
one mans conscience and sense Of right can
be put in another mans pocket. "Pharisee'

WEST VIRGINIA ELECTION 1t is gener-
ally conceded that Gov Jacobs independent.
has been elected Governor Of West Virginia
by about 6, 000 majority over Camden, regu-
lar, and that the new consti tuition has been
defeated. II this is the case, the present e.
lection Of State Officers will amount to moth
| ing aud another elecJi5n under the old con
st ution will be held ia November, the day
Of the Presidential election.
We expected the result above receded as
| far as the u e'aatorial contest ives concern
ed. Gov. Jacobs had proved himself to- be
an able, just and popular executive ofic err
and there was no sense or necessity in the
politicians, who met in convention in Park =.
ersburg, ignoring his services to the State,
and nominating Mr.. Camden. The people
have shown that they have not yet bartered
away their freedo They have asserted
their right and power to control, aud we are
not sorry for it.
| The rule may be safely adopted, that when
1
a public servant has discharged the duties Of
his trust faithfully, and met the expectation
of his constituents, it is unsafe to attempt to
force him off by the tricks and manouvers OF
conventions. The fact is, Conventions have
become, as general thing, nothing more nor
less than the cnginery of scheming politicians
and tine-servers to defeat the will of the
people, and they understand them to be Or
gained, generally, for that purpose. There
is, therefore, growing distrast of them. and
the candidate selected by them in the future,
will have to be in sympathy with the pc aple,
or they will defeat him, as they have Cam
den.
P.s.-A dispatch from Parkersburg da.
ted the 9th, says the constitution has CARL
cd by $500 and Jacobs elected by 1000.
