The West Virginia Democrat contin-
ues to whoop things up. 1t is Demo
cratic newspaper worthy of general cir
culation. The more it circulates the
merrier for the Republicans.-Parkers-
burg State Journal rep
There is more truth in the above item
than generally appears in the State Jour
nal in its treatment Of this State.
The w. Va. Democrat is ably edited,
and many articles appear in its columns
worthy of general commendation. But,
unfortunately, there is underlying, as a
bases, tendency to create discord il the
Democratic party. 1t might be stated
without going too far, that a determind-
ton TO create discord exists, if it cannot
succeed in defeating Hon. j. n. Camden
for reelection to the senate. The Dem
ocrat, having thus definite object in
view. other than the advancement Of the
interests of Democracy, destroys, to a
great measure It's usefulness. 1t is this
tendency of the teachings Of the Democrat
over which the State Journal and our
Republican cotempOraries generally,
cbuckle so gleefully, and desire its cir
cuation to be more general. If the Re
publicans can succeed in getting up a
strife between Camden and anti-Camden
men as candidates for the Legislature,
they hope to slip in and elect a sufficient
number Of the Legislature to select a Re
publican to the Senate as successor to
Senator Camden. Gen. Gof' Is now in
training for that purpose, and if the Dem
ocrat persists in the course II has been
pursuing in the past, success will likely
crown the efforts Of the Republicans.
We can not believe the Democrat de-
sires this, yet it is unquestioDably the
natural sequence following its policy.
We are not welded 10 Mr.. Camden.
and are not under any peculiar obliga-
tions TO him, and fully recognize the fact
that there are abler statesmen than he,
within the confines Of our State; yet, he
who undertakes to impugn his Democra-
cy and destroy his usefulness by yituper-
ations and misrepresentation, or ald and
abet therein. will certainly not be his
successor. Democrats who attempt to
ride into power thus, should and will
meet with an ignominious failure. " Let
US have peace. Wayne AdrOeate.

OUR STATE.
Henry G. Darfs on the Futrre Of West
Virginia.

CINCINNATI, O., December PIN an
interview upon the most interesting and
vital subjects to West Virginians-the
States resources, agricultural, mineral,
manufacturing, etc., Ex-senator Henry
g. Davis said:
The State presents great advantages
to the successful prosecution of farming
and agricultural pursuits. The bottom
lands along the river are celebrated for
productiveness, while the mountain tops
and hillsides are unsurpassed for grazing.
Some of the finest cattle sold in Eastern
markets are from West Virginia"
"Why is it" was asked, "that more
general attention is not attracted toward
the agricultural possibiities?" ?"
Zone Of the principal reasons for this
want of knowledge is that the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad and the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad, the principal railroads
which pass through the State follow the
streams in their deeply sunken channels
cut through the mountain gorges, and
the stranger seeing nothing, comparative
" speaking, but the wild. picturesque
and rugged scenery, naturally has erro-
neous ideas as to soil, topography and re-
sources"
"Can you give an idea of the extent of
the coal fields, with the qualify and guam
tity of their production p
Upon that point | have taken great
interest, and can say, without fear of
contradiction, that the coal fields of this
State are the most remarkable in the
known world. The veins of bituminous
coal exhibit a maximum thickness, hav-
ing in the Kanawha Valley combined
thickness of fifty feet; it is the only State
where camel coal is found Of good quail
ty in paying quantities, and it is claimed
to be equal to the best English of Nova
Scotia coal. The splint coal of the Ka-
nawha Valley is the best non-coking coal
for smelling iron found anywhere. The
excellent gas and steam qualities Of our
coal are known all over the country.
"Itis nearest the sea board, consequent
ly the rates Of transportation are greatly
in favor, but we need more railroads.
West Virginia ought to market great
deal more coal than she does.
"As to the area of square miles and
production, as compared with other
States, have a memorandum from which
you can tabulate."
