Editors OF the Register.
The recent light rains III this section
have somewhat revived vegetation, and
have been of immense advantage to the
early planted corn, which, with coptin-
ued fair season, will make an average
crop. The late planting promises even
better, with favorable weather. Our
farmers are now getting ready for fall
planting and many of them will soon
have their wheat grounds ready to SOW;
a large number are thrcShing their wheat
in order to have their seed ready. A few
have sold their crops, but the large ma
iority are holding for better prices.
Wheat is worth 81 25@1 80 in this
market.
The third annual fair of the Berkeley
| County Agricultural and Mechanical
Association will begin on the Sth of Sep
TENDER, and continue four days. Prep
arations are in progress to make it one of
the most successful meetings ever held
by the society. The promises offered are
large and varied, and everything indi-
Gates large number of entries and an
immense attendance Of spectators.
To-day Friday, 3lSt) was fixed by the
Circuit Court of this county for the cx-
ecution of the negro John Talifero for
the murder of the little girl Annie But
Ter, but the granting of writ of SuPeT-
sedeas by the Supreme Court Of Appeals
in the case, has stayed proceedings until
the points ut issue can be heard
by the court at its August
session in Charlestown, jefferson county.
No culprit ever had fairer or more i'm
partial trial than Talifero, and the ac-
tions of the Court of Appeals in granting
II supersedeas on what our people believe
to be mere local tcchnicalities, have sub
iccted their action to severe criticism.
The Congressional canvass in this Dis
trict is beginning to grow in interest.
Faulkner and Martin are the prominent
contestants for the nomination. Faulk-
nnrS friends claim that he has the 'inSide
tract" thus far and is gaining every day.
Without pretending to know much about
the contest, it my opinion that Martins
chances are the best. According TO all
party usagcs, he il certainly entitled to
the nomination. and by the way, so is my
friend. Col Ben Wilson, in the
First District. Both Martin and
Wilson, ~ candidates of the party, msde
gallant fight two years ago before the
people, and afterwards before Congress.
They were cheated out of their seats, and
common justice and decency would die
tate their denomination by the party
which both have served al long and
faithfully. Hon. Alex. r. Boteler has
announced himself rs an independent
candidate in this district, and it is limited
that. under certain circumstance, j. \.
Wisncr Esq, of this place, who ran ut
the last election, will again take the field.
So YOU see we shall have no dearth of
candidates. County politics have not yet
taken shape. There is some talk about
candidates for the Legislature, but as
vet il is only talk When matter take
shape you shall hear from
OCCASIONAL.

ORIGINAL ESSAY FROM SHINNS.
TON, Wv
The Duty Of American Voters.

1t is the free and glorious duty of
every voter in our country to be high
national judge, for all Americans by
birth and heirship, are born with the.
inarilcnablr right of beng their own po-
litical Judges, and if they fail to make
true and noble judges it is their own
fault in not being true to their hclrShIp.
The great beauty and strength in our
form of government lays in the tact that
the people are the rulers. BY our con-
>titution every voter is made national
Judge. the power of government lays IN
their hands, the officers of It's different
branchcs-thc executive, judiciary and
lcgiSlative-are only servants ot the
people. but those office holders can, and
have perverted our Constitution by
making themselves the soverclgns and
the people the servants, but this will
cease if the voters will only see their
dancer, and exercise their
iudge,hip Alright, and be true to their
country and country's institutions, and
do their duty by their ballot and put all
unworthy SERVANTS out of office that are
seeking 10 become masters, and put
honest patriots in their place that Will
serve according to the constitution and
laws of our land. This would have been
done before now if the people would have
I been true to their birthright and dis
charged their noble duty by being true
impartial Judges, but we, the American
peHpla can never be true impartial
Judges rs long as we only listen, read and
believe one side of the question. Office
holders and political leaders where they
become corrupt, rs they are to-day, would
take the last vcstage of liberty from the
people and have the face to say il was
all constitutional or party necessity which
compelled them Ia do it. 1t Is truth
as sure as the sun gives light to-day,
that n,c1, rnuaot b. tB" national or pot't'-
cal jmfgeS, Mhcn they only read and hear
one side VI tie question. What would We
say ola Judge that was in the habit ofsivng
Judgment after hearing the testimony OF
one side? We would say that he was an
untrue Judge, not worthy of his position,
and should be hoiStcd from his office, that
il WAS perfect folly and insanity to think
of passing Judgment without hearing the
evidence on both sides; and the same rule
holds good with the sovereign judges of
our land. who cast their ballots, which
are their Judgment after only reading
one sided papers that cover up the truth
and appeal solely to prejudice and party
idolatry, instead of to patriotism and
reason.
Yes it is folly! insanity for our voters
to vote truly and correctly, and be true
national judges, unless they seek for the
truth by hearing the evidence of both
sides; therefore it is the imperative duty
OF every sovereign of this free land of
America to exercise fully his conscience

and liberty, and vote after his judgment
after hearing both sides and not suffer
himself to be bartered and sold like stock
of trade; not suffer himself under any
circumstances whatever, toLsupport that
party that would bend and twist the con-
stitution of our country to suit its own
selfish and corrupt ends. To do this
truly and impartially we must inyesti-
gate thoroughly the workings of the diff
ferent parties and men seeking our suf-
frages. With charity for all; with heart
and mind seeking for truth, condemning
error and voting accordingly, we will be
worthy sovereign judges. See that we
do our duty, remembering this truth,
that the more we neglect it, the worse
and worse our country will drag. The
spirit of liberty is appealing to us to be
true. Respectfully, = TRUE blue.
