We learn that Capt. CRIswELL, at the
urgent solicitation Of personal and po-
Iitical friends, Is considering the pro.
priety Of withdrawing as a candidate for
Congress. We are just in receipt Of q
letter from a leading Republican at
Clarksburg who expresses the deepest re.
gret over the appearance Of Capt CHS.
wRIL's announcement, and expresses the
hope that he will think better Of it and
withdraw. There can be no mistake that
tho Republicans. throughout the district
are united ON the policy Of having no
Republican candidate and OF supporting
Mr.. DAVIS. ItMr. C. wishes TO maintain
his former relations with the Republican
party he cannot afford TO interpose his
personal aspirations against their united
wish; and especially II he wishes to see
the Charleston, Constitution defeated, he
cannot consent TO make himself an obsta,
Gle In the way Of that result. We trust,
therefore, both for Capt. oRIsw Ellis sake
and for the sake Of the results desired by
those with whom he has heretofore co.
operated sthatthe rumor- Of his. purpose
( 70 withdraw may be speedily confirmed.
! SINCE Mn Faulkner 5 Portland speech,
an extract from 1t about the State finances
has been going around the Democratic
papers, in which Mr.. Faulkner Is made 10
say that there was then balance in the
State treasuryOf $S5O,OOO, "and this after
discharging I, a" debt Of 100000 trans
nitted 20 the present by the preceding
Radical administration" This statement
isgrossly, absurdly untrue, No"debt" at
allwas 80 transmitted. AT the end Of
theft cal year, octobeFl /, 1870, there was
adefcitin the revenues Of d little over
sixty thousand dollars, but debt was
incurred in consequence Of il The gen.
eral treasury was ahle tusdtsw on the I'm.
employed funds in the school treasury
andreplace them before needed. Even
this deficit did not exist five months later
when the Democratic administration
came in, We have never seen any trea,
sury statement for March 4, 1871 ; but as
the greater part Of the years, revenues
was received between October Isl and
March 4th, we have no doubt that at the
latter date not only had the deficit dlsap,
pedrcd but there was 4 considerable
balance in the treasury. II Mr.. Faulkner
did not make this ridiculous statement
rsbost.s debt OF 100000" he ought to
dtsclaim it If he did, it is unworthy Of

g of the times i, to hunt down all who
assert their independence by leaving old
associates and forming new ones. Tor any
cause whatever. The political canvass. 80
far Ibis summer has been characterized by
changes more or les. and a statement
why the change. Now We cannot under
stand why every man has not the right 10
40 change his base, either Tor sound or un-
sound reasons. a they may seem to u. ii
they are only satisfactory TO them selves.
Then. there l. no fairness or Justice in as

lions with all sort, Of approbrious names.
charging them with venality. with being
>"4e heads. or with being after an office.
a. some instances such may be the case
bu. n ihe majority Of eases these reasons
VIII not hold good. What We claim for
these men is that they shall not be assaulted
because they choose to leave one party for
the time being and join another. Suppos-
ing they are wrong in our estimation. who
has made Us an infallible judge in these
matters: Jefferson said: When in the
course Of human eyeuts it becomes nee.
essary for one people 10 dissolve the polit-
zeal bands which have connected them with
another &c, &c. &C.. a decent respect for
the opinions of mankind requires that they
should declare the causes which impel
them TO the separation" but neither he
nor any other wri er that we know of has
Asserted that individuals must not ONLY
give reason for every change of senti-
menl that they are the subjects of. to all
their neighbors. but that they are then fit
objects for ridicule and scorn
Charles Sumner does not see fit ia vote
for the Republican nominees for President.
and all at once he is the merest nobody.
y. L. Banks comes out for Greeley and we
discover that he don't amount to much
50 it is on the other side. no doubt. when
a Democrat turns to Grant. he will be
spoken of as no longer in good repute in

Now men will change and We ought not
