SENATOR CAMDEN.

Ei1yr Of ne Register.
In your issue of the 9TH inst, appears 8
letter over the name Hardy" which you
seem to recommend bYyour Aaging caption
as the Key Note Of the Campaign de
Size to make q few hurried remarks.
In the guise Of a true, simou-pure Demo
Crst, one in whom there is no guile,
Hardy" in spite Of his Gblest efforts, ex-
poses the clcVen foot of a treacherous par.
tizsn in the service Of Jim Mason. The
introductory part of his letter is all super
hre, clean cut, out and out patriotism, but
here and there the faint ola base dupli2ity
oefouls the beauty of its surface. | think
many OF your reader5 who are visited by
jim Mason's paper, will, f they'haye not
heretofore done so, detect the spirit and
style Of a correspondent of that pestilent
paper in the blower Of the key
note. The writer adjectiyes, all
through his piece, betrsy him.
For instance every true and
loyal Democrat must do all in his
power to have our next /. s. Senator "a
good Democrat From this infer that
those Democrats who have supported, and
yet may support, Senator Camden have
been untrue aud disloyal, and that Senator
Camden is not e good Democrat. This
We did not know until in the cast a star
arose in the person Of jim Mason, and
now perhaps, we have lesser G~ghts-httle
starlpgs-shining here and there, even
away over IN "Hardy." Why, the writer
thinks that, outside of his clique, the people
know very little. Not much, indeed, but
then we may De excused for imagining that
since 1870 our Legislature has been Demo
cratic. HARDY dispels this illusion.
See 70 il" he says, that q Democratic
Legislature, tree and untrammeied by any
promises or pledges, is elected, and then
gentlemen elected by the people, unpledged
and unbound, can, with some show
of decency, sell their con
stituencies, body and soul to the New
York syndicate, in whose special interest
Jim Mason and his hire!iugs are so indus
~triousl7 at work. Elect an unpledged
Legislature that will saddle On incurable
debt of millions on the shoulders OF the
people of West Virginia, and show to the
world the selt.sacridcing spirit of patriot
ism o and for a long time boiling IN
the brains of s~oulless, msrcsnsrg traitors.
With such a Legislature how easy it will
10 elect to the United States Senate O
GOOD Democrat, up to the standard OF the
ideal of jim Mason aud his nan Hardy.
This wiseacre Hardy" with almost dis
Sussiug ~eHcoutery, informs US that we
have bsen tools and fooled in sll elections
since 1870. We have been recklessly
voting for unprincipled adventures, and
now unless we take his advice, the signal
corps at Cbarlestown supplies the wisdom,
Wa will be irredeemably lost. Abuses have
crep. into our party, perhaps, in this State,
but If such is the case, it hiss been the re-
suit of too often allowing ourselves to be
quilted oy disinteres.ed gentlemen OF the
Hardy cut.
II Is the shesrest nonsense to vote Tor q
maa unpledged. he must chow his eolors,
that no foul bird may get into the nest
though its plumsge be supplied by robbing
svudicatss aud THAR unprincipled tools,
Rest assured that the people will not cheat
themselves if they a help II, aud should
he Legislature act IL accord with the
wishes of the people in the election Of a
Lifted States Senator it will lot IN the
flture. as it he's not in the past, make e
nistsks ia the man for that position. Our
nresspt Senators have, SO far, done their
5nty well. and their public record as ser
rants of the people triumphantly stands
sponsor to the fscs.
To the United States Senate, the letter
