Editors Of the Register.
Ksnawhs Democracy is calmly sleep
ing-not even the marriage OF the
princess Nellie" had power to raise
her from her lethsrgy-but it is only
the calm that precedes the storm that
even now is gathering, to burst in all it's
fury upon the Radical camp, this fall.
The people seem to be content that the
past bury the past, and begin anew
closing up their ranks and preparing
for the struggle, which is to bring them
victory. No force which can be brought
to bear upon them can sever the bond
OF anion which exists between the peo-
pie OF the Democratic party in this
county. Rsdicslism has long held
sway in Kanawhs, but
danger ever threatens
The head that wears q CROWN"
Democracy is preparing to lift the
crown from the head of the tyrant,
and place it upon head less treacher-
ous-one worthy to bear the honors.
Yes, Radicslism 10 dying, and over
it's funeral pail will be shed no tears OF
sorrow or regret that it is so-except
that they be shed by some hungry "oi-
flee seeker" as he mourns over hIs de-
teat; perhaps from this source, may
come a wall of anguish, but with this
slight exception all will be peace and
quietuess. ...
The Radicals have been slowly-but
none the less surely-dying in this
county Tor the last few years, and would
have experienced a humiliating defeat
last August, but that through treachery
they decoyed some o. our very best
Democrats into their ranks, whereby
they defeated the Democratic party.
But thanks to their own rottenness
thei. sins, like chickens, have come
home to roost, their peridi'y has re-
cooled upon their own heads. Those
who were led estray, ere returning with
pretty much the same feelings, we sup.
pose which the "Prodigal Son exc
perepced on returning to his father.
But in their looks ia plainly written the
destruction OF the Republican party.
As we have pretty we'll "blowed out"
on politics we will now proceed to give
few "locals." As the old lady says,
times are so sksse" there is but very
little business going on in our city at
present. Our people looked forward to
initiation, but alas, vain hone Rumor
save that the President will visit his
relations in this city sometime next
month, on his way to the White
Sulphur Springs, where he is to spend
the summer. What an honor in store
TOR our citizens!
Since the uubounded success OF the
"Union school exhibition" in this city .
few nights since, our young folks are
forming literary clubs. We suppose a
series OF entertainments shortly will be
the result. We are informed that there
will be an exhibition given shortly at
the Cotton Opera House by the young
ladies attending the Seminary in this
city, Miss Annie Macleod, principal.
The weather for sometime past has
been uncommonly dry for this season OF
the year, threatening TO cut the crops
short.
Poor "Camillus," how his large and
sym pa.hetic heart must yearn for the
removal OF the Capital; what pity
all our people are not so patriotic as
he. If we thought his mslady was the
least bit contagious we might have
fears of the renoval OF tine Capital.
We would recommend a few weeks at
the White Sulphur, or, perhaps, Wes-
ton would be better. We think al
either OF these places he could be cured
OF his malady in a short time. Let
us hear from you often, Mr.. "Camil-
lus." There is nothing we more enjoy
than reading letters from the back
goods. Yes. Mr.. e, Your letters are
read with pleasure every week by us
poor Permanent Sesters.
