given YOU to committees for such aid and
co operation as seems to be advisable.
Very respectfully,

To break the force of this exposure, ithe
Mteil,geneer prints what purports to be a
special dispatch from Columbus, Ohio,
signed by mythical a. &. CURTIS" T"
which may be an alias for OCAMPBELL,
not denying the genuinness of the above
letter, but falsely suggesting denial OF
Gov. HAYES connection with the Amer
can Alliance. The Mteliigener's dis
patch says that the letter "wss written by
Secretary LEE on his own responsible
"ity and without consulting with Gov.
HAYS
Let us lock at this A secret political
association, having its membership in
every State in the Union and numbering
its sdherents by the thousand, passes re-
solutions of endorsement of Mr.. HAYES
and sends him copy of these resolutions.
His private secretary, Ion his own re-
possibility and without consultation
without Gov. HAYES" responds;
"DEAR SIR:-Gor. Hayes desires me to
acknowledge receipt of yonr palued
"fdror and TO say that he IS deep
"iy gratifed by this expression of con-
" fidence, DC.
Governor HAYES private secretary
says that Governor HAYES desires" him
to so write land to say that he is deeply
"gratiHed,' &c, while the hteiLigencer's s
ready liar says that the letter was "writ-
"ten by Secretary LEE on his own res
possibility and without consultation

There is lie out among the faithful
somewhere, and we leave them to settle
it among themselves.

issue of the REGISTER the fac smile Of

ing Governor HAYES, the platform of
principles of that order and the oath sd-
ministered to Governor HAYES on his be-
coming a member of that order
The Radical party has always been
openly and in the light of day party of
prescription. 1t is party of test oaths
and disquali acations. The good people
of West Virginia have felt Its pro
scriptive power. 1t is the legitimate
successor of the dark lantern" party of
1854. The strength of its whole csrv ass
at this time is the attempt to deprive the
white men of the Southern States of
their political rights. This, and noli ing
but this, is the objective point; this' u nd
nothing but this, the inspiration of the
CHANDLER HAYES GRANT campaign.
The story we print shows
that secretly, as well as
openly, that party is the party OF pro.
scription. Its candidate accepts the
principles, and promises aid TO the eff
forts of an alliance, the secret purpose of
which is to disquslfy for Office all the
white citizens of the North who happen
not TO have been born in this country
and who happen to hold a particular re-
ligious creed. The open purpose of the
Republican leaders is to disfranchise
the white voters of the South as a means
ofgsinlng complete and permanent su-
premscy over the whole country. Their
secret purpose, as We now see, is to dis
franchise at later period q great pro-
portion of the white votes of the North.
BY using the native white and negro ma
jority against the foreign white minority
of the country, precisely as they are
now trying to use the Northern ma
jority against the Southern minority in
the country.
The party ofavowed sectional prosertp-
ton is the party also of secret religious
and race prescription, and always and
everywhere, the party OF intolerance, the
party OF bigotry, tho party of ''disbolism."
and of the stirrer-up Of strife. 1t is in
every sense, the party of hate and pro.
soriptiOn.
