From the Martinsburg Statesman
Political Triekery.

1t seems now to be understood 10 this
community, although the most careful
efforts have been made to keep the fact
a secret, that the Radical Executive
Committee of the State, whose head.
quarters are at Parkersburg, and which
prints and distributes the tickets to be
voted throughout the State, has
decided to place the name Of A. K.
Boteler on every Radical ticket to be
voted in this district. The decision OF
the State Executive Committee was
made 80 soon as it was ascertained that
the Grafton Democratic Convention had
adjourned without q nomination to the
fifth of September. Now, what can be
the purpose OF such an act OF political
trickery; Governor Stevenson, who If not
a member OF that committee, undouot-
edly controls its movements, knows
and declared in the State Journal, his
paper, that there is no authority In law
for a Congressional election on the 22d
of August. What, then, can be the
motive for such q movement 1t Is
simply through the insttumentallty OF
a corrupt and unprincipled majority In
the House OF Representatives to steal a
seat in Congress from this District; to
rob the people OF their rights; anu
upon the bsldest and most untounded
pretext, to get majority in Congress to
perpetuate a gross fraud and wrong
upon the people OF this district. Has
Mr.. Boteler consented to participate IN
this fraud and trickery? Has he
stooped so low as not only TO be Rad
ical candidate for this district, but also
to profit by their infamous attacks upon
the rights Of the people?
What motive has the honest portion
OF the Republican party to chime IN
with this discreditable movement
There is no Democratic nominee in the
field whom they might feel a party in
terest to defeat. There is no Congress
sional issue joined in this election be
tween the two parties. Ii, under such
circumstances, they encourage this
trickery, they must cast their votes Tor
Mr.. Boteler, not ss the antagonist oil
Democratic nominee, Tor there Is
none such in the field, but for the
love they must bear him persona alIy
and politically. When did Mr.. Boteler
become this favorite OF the Radical
party? Why, if it is in their power to
elect representative TO Congress with:
out opposition, is Mr.. Boteler selected
as that favorite individual? Has he
rendered such valuable service to that
party, and SO conciliated their affection
by his acts, as to Assure him in this
preference over the veteran heroes Of
their own party, or is it that the posi-
ton is so infamous and disgraceiul that
no politician of the Radical party is
willing to accept it, and thereby incur
the maledicticns Of an outraged people

A BEAUTIFUL LETTER.
AFa,her's Advice 10 His Son.

Fathers Advice 10 His Son.
During the war Of the rebellion, a
number of the newspapers published
the following private letter from Gen.
r. E. Lee to his son. 1t is very inter-
esting, and although written many
years ago, will repay perusal:
ARLINGTON House. April 5, 1852.
MY DEAR SoN-I am just in the act
OF leaving home for New Mexico. My
inc old regiment has been ordered to
that distant region, and must hasten
to see that they are all properly taken
care Of. | have but little to add in
reply to your letters OF March 25. 81
and %. Your letters breathe spirit OF
fraukness. They have given mytelf
and your mother great pleasure. You
must study TO be frank with the world !;
frankness is the child Of honesty and
courage. Say what you mean to do on
every occasion, and take it for granted
YOU m can to do right, j friend asks a ia
yor YOU should grant it ifit is reasonable;
if not. tell him plainly why YOU can
not you will wrong yourself by equivo.
cation of any kind. Never do a wrong
thing to make friend or keep one; the
man who requires you to do 80 is dear
" purchased at a sacrifice. Deal kind
ly but firmly with your classmates ;
YOU will find it the policy that wears
best. Above all do not appear to
others what you are not. If you have
any fault to find with any one tell him,
not others, of what you complain /;
there is no more dangerous experiment
than that OF undertaking to be one thing
before a mans face and another behind
his back. We should live, act, and say
nothing to the injury Of any one. 1t is
not only best as a matter of principle,
but is the path 10 peace and honor.
Ia regard to duty, let me, in conclu-
sion OF this hasty letter, inform you
that nearly one hunnred years ago
there was day of remarkable gloom
and darkness, still known as the dark
day; a day when the light OF the sun
was slowly extiuguished as if by an
eclipse. The Legislature OF Connecticut
was in session, and as its members saw
the unexpected and unaccountable
darkness coming on, they shared in the
general awe and terror. 1t was sup
posed by many that the last day-the
day of judgment-had come. Some
one, in the CONSERVATION OF the hour,
moved an adjournment. Then there
arose an old Puritan legislator, Daven.
port Stanford, who said that if the last
dsy had come, he desired to be found at
his place doing his duty, and therefore
moved that candles be brought 80
that the House could proceed
with its duty. There was quiet
ness in that mans mind-tbe quiet
ness Of heavenly wisdom-an infiexible
willingness to obey present duty. Duty,
then. is the sublimest word in our Ian.
euage. Do your duty in all things like
the old Puritan. You cannot do more;
YOU should never wish to do less
Never let me and your mother wear
one gray hair for lack Of duty on your
part. II. T. LEE

To the Editor Of the NsW Harsn Reg

Nv attention has been called to the
above paragraph in the Buffalo Com-
mercial advertiser stating that l have
said Gratz Brown was "boozy drunk at
New Haven. Duty alike TO Governor
Brown and myself requires that should
contradict this most wanton libel. ! saw
bat little Of Governor Brown while In
this city. His time was for the most
part occupied in attending the college
exercises. I went to the New Haven
House Tor the purpose of hearing him
speak 10 response to serenade, where
| met him in the parlor. He was being
introduced to many OF our distinguished
citizens. At 9 o'clock he made the speech
az published, remaining in conversation
with both ladies and gentlemen until
about ten o'clock, when he retired to his
room, since which time / have not seen
or heard from him. During this whole
period Of time | was present and intro
ducing strangers to hin, and his time was
constantly employed in interchanging
the civilities usual and consequent upon
such an occasion. Had he been intoxi-
Gated, a. has been represented, hundreds
of our best citizens had the best Of
opportunities to have discovered 1t, and
it could never have been left to the clerk
of the hotel to haze been the sole one
to discover it, In all my intercourse
with Governor Brown | have never seen
him intoxicated, nor have l ever seen
him drink one drop Of spirituous
liquors-not so much as glass OF wine.
