sbepber0stown Register.


We have been disposed, notwithstand
ing his questionable occupancy Of the
White House, to give Mr. Hayes credit
for observing the plain duties laid down
in the Constitution of the United States
for the guidance of the President. We
thought well of him and commended his
manly and independent course imme-
diately after his Inauguration in remov-
ing the United States troops from the
Southern States, where they had been
placed by that would be tyrant, Grant
to terrorize over the people, and his
subsequent refusal to yield to party de-
mands to interfere in local elections ar
pued in favor of his sense of justice and
integrity OF purpose. If, however, it is
true that he purposes abandoning his
Southern policy, as it is termed-but in
truth his true duty as provided or limit
ed by the Constitution of the United
States-then indeed is he doubly un
worthy of his high position-he is a
bastard President, prostitutipg his dis
honorable origin.
Having invoked Divine guidance and
announced his one-term policy, IL was
ground for hope that he would lift him
self above party bias, or the influence of
political projectors, and cultivate that
true philosophic spirit, benevolenee,
which is the true interest of nations to
cultivate. Upon the other hand, how
ever, if he is going to nurture, strength
en- and encourage sectional strife by aid
ing in attempts TO subjugate one section
of the country to the domination of po-
li,ical Adventures from another, then
will the excavations of an outraged peo-
pie 90 up to righteous and omnipotent
ruler for vengeance.
Political equality of the races was
burriedly forced upon the Southern peo-
pie without consulting or respecting
their wishes. They accepted the situa-
ton in good faith, although they recog-
nized the motives which prompted the
act, and now after the lapse of thirteen
years, during which time the negro has
learned 10 know his true from his pre-
tended friends, and chosen 20 follow
their lead, and cold shoulder the pre-
tender, who is in league and sympathy
with the heads of our government which
is invoked 10 pervert its power and un-
Justly interfere in his behalf.
We believe that the masses OF the
people, both North and South, are hear
tily sick and disguised with the schemes
of political demagogues TO keep up sec
tional strife, and if persisted in by them
their sins, like Humans, will recoil upon
them

OUR DELEGATES.

The Free Press, commenting upon our
article under the above head, says If we
had omitted the ''cioptrop" "about hon
est men that cannot be bought by free
passes, or the hope of future political ell
evation," it would have been frst-rate.
There is Just where we differ; the Free
Press must admit, nay, it does admit,
for it says "our faith is not strong III
the existence of men who get into the
political arena, although all
are not purchasable." Human charac-
ter became most lamentably democrat
lied during the war, and we regret that
the daily account of wrong doing forces
the unwelcome acknowledgement that
the evil passions still control mankind
in all the pursuits of life. The press of
our country, which claims to be pub
lie educator, should do its utmost in re-
minding men Of the errors of their way.
1t further says: GAS matter OF Curl
osity, we should like to know OF the
Register, who of our Legislators have
been bought by free passes" We would
take great pleasure in gratifying this
womanly characteristic of our worthy
contemporary if We did not regard our
future worth more to US than two-thirds
of the scalps of the members of our last
legislature, for about that number, &C
cording to the best information we can
gather, had free passes from the various
railroads over which they travelled, in
their pockets.
We will, however, submit, and ask
the Free Press what they think the
trainers of our constitution mean: when
they inserted the following: Sand they
(Senator and Delegate) shall also take
this further oath, to-wit: / will not
accept or receive, directly or indirectly,
any money or other valuable thing,
from any corporation, company, &c. )"
Then again these gentlemen, either from
being cognizant of corrupting inauen-
ces, or espying them in the distance,
say in section 45 Of article 6, at shall
be the duty Of the Legislature, at its
first session after the adoption of this
constitution, to provide, by law, for the
punishment by Imprisonment 10 the pen
itentiary, Of any person who shall bride
or attempt to bride any erecutire or ju.
dieial officer of this State, or any mem
Der of the Legislature, and also
to punish any of said officers or mem.
bers. who shall demand or receive
any valuable thing from any corpora
ton, company or person. Now what
does all this mean in plain English and
common sense! Valuobie thing! from
corporations aud companies, to govern.
ors, Judges, Legislators; the Thing sounds
like free passes, aud it don't look right
If we are wrong in our conclusions,
there are plenty of gentlemen who sal
in tina, convention, still living. who cau
rise and explain. And should the Free
Press differ with the Register, we pro-
pose to submit the question to the Mar
tinsburg Statesman. What say you
