permitted us once more to breath the
air of freedom, and to engage Ill un-
folding the wealth Of our county
without fear of oui hard earned prop
erty being sworn from US in courts of
law, when our lips were sealed. Yet
with us there has been no recrimina-
ton, and if our record as soldiers, and
our patience under oppression have
been glorious and worthy of imita-
ton as we claim it has been, tar more
glorious has been the modesty, with
which we have borne the palm of vic
tory. BY us no Republican has been
oppressed, no right has been denied
him, no restraint placed upon his lib
critics; we have given him his full
quota of County Offices, both in cleo
ton and appointment, holding in this
that the minority in entitled TO far
representation, which doctrine is the
glory of the American system.
When the yoke ofRadical despot-
ism was broken in the county and the
Democratic party assembled to pow
er. we found the Free Schools i'll n
most deplorable condition; we at once
set ourselves to try to save them from
total wreck and establish them upon a
firm basis; in this we have succeeded;
we selected our best men, without re-
gard to party politics, or past affilia-
tons; as our Boards.of Education; the
sequel shows that forty seven School
Houses have been completed under
their administration, and that the
schools have been supplied with good
teachers, at salaries ranging from
twenty five to forty dollars per month,
although there are only twenty col
ored persons in the County, we have
a good colored school in operation.
We do not claim the Free School
system in its incipiency as Demo
cratic measure; we arc willing to ac-
credit in gilded letters, the Repub.
lican party with its Inauguration, yet
we fail to see in whst manner the
Democrats have sought to impair itS
usefulness.
The Free School system is to-day
part of the organic law of om land.
1t belongs to the people, and party
! legislation can never touch it, and
party politics will never control it,
! No man who has the welfare of the
State at heart, will ask school Off
GERS or teachers to what plrty he be-
longs. Education, intelligence and
prosperity Of the State demands that
it shall be kept separate from party
organiz-:;;iOns as well us from the
church, aud its agitation only shows
the straits to which Republican edi'
tors and orators are derived.
Ifthe Republican party of West
Virginia has no living issue against
us, then lei them abandon their or
ganization and unite with us in the
development Of the material interest
of the State, or if they have suchs
living issues, let them discuss then
fairly, in order that we may see and
abandon our errors. respectfully,
