Very Liberal.

While Hurace Greeley w.s cndcav
or;ng to convince the sturdy ftecmen Of
New En:l,"d that his Was the cause Of
justice aud equality his friends in West
Virginia were laborins i"dustri"u<ly I.
carry an amendment 10 their State con.
stitution, the purport Of which WIS t.
prevent a colorcd man from holding
Office.
The T;Iunc was startled over this
new development Of Liberalism, aud i"
its issue Of August 18th gently rcmi"''-
ed the Grcclcyitcs Of West Virginia
that the adoption Of this amendment
would injurs the chances Of its beloved
chief fos the Presidency.
There vas time when the Tr:Ixae
would have opposed this literal freak
on other grounds than mere policy. It
would have denounced these " reform.
ers" a. little better than savages for
attempting to turn buck the kheels Of
progress. But It dared not open its
batteries lest it might hurt the feeling.
Of it's new found friends, 70 il gently
limited that the amendment had better
20 by the board, lest it be "trumpcted
and paradcd from one end Of the coun-
Try to the other, as proof positive that
the concurrence Of the hate Democratic
National Convention in tho Cincinnati
platform is fraud and a sham" In
order tn let its rebel friends down 10
gently As possible: tho Tribune contin-
ucs: "There is not the sorriest excuse
for this attempt at prescription. The
blacks Of West Virginia are but a hand
full, who have had no Offices under Re-
publican asccndency, and stand no
chance Of getting any, no matter what
party may rule" -
How have the mighty fallen !"
This is the language Of the Tribune,
once the mouth-piece Of principle, now
the slave Of policy. Like its chief, it
has turned its back on truth, justice,
equality, and has become tho active
champion Of Democratic injustice -
This is what the language Of the Tr;-
hume means in plain English: "1f the
blacks were more numerous your
amendment might be all right. hut as
they can't get Office anyway, make /.
show of justice BY permitting them to
claim right which they can never e.
ercise." And yet in face Of all this,
it asks the black man to believe that
this Liberal party is friendly to them
Its impudence in asserting this is only
eqs"'ed by the unauimty with which
the blacks reject it.
This out cropping in West Virginia
Of the new Greeley doctrine il what
may be expected in other Southern
States. Charles Sumner may see in it
practical reconciliation" but the peo-
pie will not care to ind :rsc it in Novem-
Der next.

ber of persons, reduced by the war from aftll-
ence to comparative poverty. and who never
before knew what it was to labor In any capac-
ity, being now compelled to earn their living
'sby the sweat of their brows," pretty well
supply the demand Tor labor, both mental and
manual. Still, cannot but think that with
the increased development of the natural
resources of the country. which are varied
and abundant, the progress of internal i'm
provements, which the spirit of the age de-
mands shall 20 forward; the building of new
lines of railroads and telegrapas, the J. estao' t
Ing of manufactures, &c, &c., there IS room
enough for all who may desire to hnd homes
in this sunny cline.
To those who may wish to turn their atten.
tIon to the cultivation of the soil, would say,
come 10 South Carolina, and come at once.
No section of our country offers better induce

this. Land can be purchased here for from
one dollar up to twenty dollars per acre, and
snug little homes Of from twenty 10 sixty
acres and upwards, with comfortable resi-.
dences, can be had for one thousand to three
thousand dollars, and large tracts OF lands
suitable for subdividlng into small ones can be
bought at exceedingly low figures.

to dig down Into the bowels OF the earth and
bring up her rich metals, and refine them and
