Clarksburg surpassed anything

THE Herald talks flippantly and
Yoluminously of the slave oligarchy.
1t knows no more of that than it does
of other democratic party history. The
south held property in slaves which
the constitution of the United States
recognized and guaranteed. The re.
publ,cans of the north intensely Jealous
of this source of wealth to the south
erners, worked up a semi-religious and
patriotic crusade against the south
which resulted in war. The south with
fifteen millions of men contended four
years with the thirty-fiVe millions of
the north and was beaten. That's the
whole story and there was no split to
speak of on the question of slavery.
The only question to split was, should
the south contribute two billions seven
hundred millions to the frantic repub-
Iicans? They didn't.
