There is no need to abuse the rich
in order to raise the poor, and it is
neither possible or expedient to drag
every thing down to one level. We
cannot, if we would, equalize the
conditions and capacities of men.
The idle. the drunkard, the crimi.
nal, the fool must bear the brunt Of
their defects. The strong, the pru.
dent, the temperate, and the wise,
will always be first in the race. But
is desirable that the government.

the active supporters of the press Of

long before he gets back into line
again, as he is both a statesman and
a journalist Of more than ordinary
ability.
1t is the intention of Hon. VIM.
o. Dawson, We learn, to move to
Charleston, Kanawha county, and
engage in journalism in that thriv-
ing city. He is to edit a Republican
daily, so the rumor goes. There is
not man in the State who has done
more for his party than Mr.. Daw.
sonand through his unceasing efforts,
in season and out of season, is
due the large Republican majority
in Preston county. AS an organizer
he has few equals and no superior.
The Republicans Gao not replace
Dawson in Preston county. Apart
from politics Mr.. Dawson has always
been a public spirited citizen aud
labored hard for the advancement
OF Preston county. All new enter
prises received his hearty co opera
ton. He never tired in saying a
good word for Preston. All citizens
irrespective of party politics, will
be sorry to see Mr.. Dawson leave
the county, but wish him abundant
success in his chosen field of
labor.-Register.
