fore waves the "bloody shirt" OF West
Virginia Radicalism in tho sight OF il
Confederate compatriets, and cxhOrtl
them to be energetic and yigilant lest the
Philistines come in and occupy the land
this fall.
This make.believe apprehension or
the part Of the Independent is very
ridiculous. There is just about al
much danger of the Republican party
reviving the legislation that followed the
close OF the war as there il that the Demo.
cracy win again put in practice their ante
bellum prosecutions Of anti.slavery men
in West Virginia, including their indict-
ment Of Horace Greeley and his readers in
Harrison county. So far as the dangers
Otpersecution are concerned the honOrs
are easy batwen Old Virginia bourb6nism
and West Virginia radicallsm. There ia
this difference however between the two.
The Democrats in the days preceding the
war, and without the excuse Oiiour years
OF actual war, with all It's bad blood ac-
compartments, undertook % ,depriye'

Who came aocking home from the
war after the downfall Of their
rebellion. They knew that the 6rst
instincts Of these returned Conlederates
would be to regain the political status
they had formerly enjoyed, and they
feared that they would at the same time
try to make it hot for those who had
stood by the Union cause during the war.
In this they reasoned from their knowl'
edge Of human nature in general and their
knowledge Of West Virginia Democratic
human nature in particular. In not a
few localities OF the State these appre.
hsnsisps proved 10 be well iOupded. The
samespifit prevailed among the returned
Confederates in West Virginia that pre-
vriled among their brothers in Kentucky,
and in all parts Of the South, and that
prevailed at Plattsburg, Missouri, even
on the 4th Of July last, when such gross
indignities were offered to the American
flag.
The West Virginia Democracy can
never make any legitimate capital out Of
theif wtonss at the hauds Of their victo.

vaded the country as foes in arms after
they bad left it, and as foes they enacted
penal legislation at Richmond, and there
is no doubt tina. had they succeeded in
overthrowing the government Of the
United States they would have made
West Virginia an undesirable dwelling

the interior there would NOT have been
one left to tell the tale.
Under all the circumstances OF the case
We would not advise the ex.Contederate
press OF West Virginia 10 attempt TO con-
duct the present canvass on the basis Of
the wrongs they have suffered at the
hands Of the Radicals. They cannot per-
suade people that there is any design to
re:enact the measures that followed the
war. There would be no sense in such
programme. As far back as 1869 the
Republican party divided on the "let uE
movement" and to-day there is no more
idea among them OF reyiving test oaths
than there is among the Democracy ot
reviving the institution OF slavery.

THERE was tremendous unpleasant

Alas for Maulsby! poor Maulsby the
Colonel pleaded for him in vain. Though
he was ready to spill his blood for him
