Prrieaal,
We hail the pleasure of meeting, en
yesterday. our friend II. R. Howaio,
K*i-, of the Mason County Journal. Mr.
HoWAKD will to-day call upon some of I
our merchants and business men, and '
have souie chat in the advertising way. !
H>s paper, the Journal, is admirably
conducted and exceedingly popular.
Its wide circulation commends it as a I
raluable advertising medium.
(olonrl I.eller.
We present elsewhere au extract from
t letter of Colonel Lot Bow EX, of Har
rigoa county, to tbe editor of the Clarks
burg Telegraph' Colonel Bowks, it will
be remembered, was at the late eleetiou
tn independent Republican candidate
to represent Harrison county in the
Wxt Legislature. During the campaign
he was severely criticized by the T tie
qrapk for his course, and now that the
ilection is over, he pays to that pai?er
the attention which, while the canvass
was going on, he refused to show it. His
letter is straightforward, candid and
lensible. It is a complete vindication
0f bis course in refusing to be fettered
contrary to conscience, by the trammels
of what lie believed to be a dangerons
and unjust party policy. Although dif
frrin^ from Colonel Bowkn politically,
we cannot with hold from his letter
that admiration to which the maguan
iiuicy and frankness of its sentiments
entitles it. The Kepublicau party gen
erally might pouder with protit upon
many of its suggestions.
Tbe Political Falare.
Tbe Democratic majority in the State
of N'ew York has reached 48,000, and. at
iast accounts, was still rising. To use
!he words of the Tribune and our
own tigures, it will probably settle
about 50,000. This fixes the status of
tbe Empire State for 1808. A change
is hardly within the possibilities. Fif
teen, twenty or even thirty thousand
tuijbt have been fought against with
some hope, if not with mnch prospect,
ofsuccess, but the idea of combatting a j
compact majority of half a hundred
tliousaud, especially when the tide is
against them, i9 one that few sensible
Radical leaders will eut?itaiu. Their
wore probable course will be to leave
Sew York to the fato which they can- j
not avert, and couceutrate their efforts
upou the recapture of Pennsylvania and i
Obio.
It is already admitted by Radical I
oracles that uuless one or the other of|
these last named States can be carried j
iu the Radical interest, the next Presi
dential election will be greatly endan
gered. Too niaBy heretofore reliably |
Radical States have been made doubt- 1
ful, and too many moderately Radical :
States have been thoroughly revolu
tionized to admit of any further calm
confidence iu past strength. The Rad
ical prestige is goue. Yesterday, the
party was bold, defiaut and aggressive.
To-day, it it is weak, cowering, time- 1
?erring. Yesterday it uplifted the ne
gro, aud proclaimed its purpose to carry j
him, over all and through all, to the !
better social and political station which i
tbe party decrees had assigned him.
To-day, it tarns from one deity in black,
to another divinity in blue, and crouch
??iu lick-sp.ttlc servility at the feet of.
? mail wh? seems lit for nothing under
Heaven but to prefigure the future of
Radicalism by his silence and his smoke.
These several features of tbfc Radical
?'tuation give assurauce, even to us, of
'be weakness of the Radical party. But
those who are within the beleaguered
citadel are much better qualified to re- 1
?liz? its distress than are those without. I
Hence wc infer that with a kuowledge!
o: their calamity will comejtle inquiry
?*r the remedy. The relief, if it couiee
*t all, must come from one or the other
of tbe States wo have uained. Will it
come f
This will depeud eutirely upon the
^'inocrats themselves. In tbe first
place, their gains in those States have
^en derived from Republican sources,
undreds and thousands of moderate
in Ohio and Pennsylvania sunder
ed their party ties in order to escape its
ollies and corruptions. The Demo
?Mic organization offered them the
***0* Of breaking dowu the Radical
?themes, ftrough which so much danger i
*&a threatened to all the interests of
** country. They oame as temporary
T sttors, of whotu circumstances might
***? pemaueLt residents. If they
? their jnesent quarters they will re
? tbe hosts do everything in
^"r power to make the stay of their
^*?ts uucomfortable, they will most
"*e]y do as other men similarly situated, '
*?d leave the Democratic household
10 ponder upon whai might have been,
^ ? confess to a good deal of cenfi
T0?6 in tho-common sense and modera
tion of (he Democratic leaders. In tbe
. Utt of Ohio, whose Legislature has
luite a quantity of work out ont
it by Radical organs, tbe Democratic
Pre#eutatiyes are mostly men of tem
plate views and calm judgment. They
' 1 know what to do, probably as well
officious Radical advisers can
Aom. They will know what to
undone very mnch better. They
" "stand that, in politics, progress is
tieiuent of life and that dull inertia
u companion of death. We take

As of these oieo, ho of the 1
Democratic party generally. It is liv
ing, straggling and advancing. As upon
all former occasions, when it lias
triumphed, it realizes the wants of the
times ; it ia equal to the occasion. If
the spirit that appears to animate the
party at large, shall dictate its course,
and common sense and moderation pre
vail, its success next year can hardly be
a matter of question. Let it galvan
ize no fossils, fetter itself with no fol
lies, avoid inapplicable precedents and
act from an appreciation of the wants of
this nation, aa it u, and the party's
fnture will bo prosperous beyond par
allel even in its own past history.
Col. L?l Bourn I* the Kdiior of (he
.\alional Trlrgmph.
Gknkkal NORTHCOTT? The election is
over. 1 have not replied to any of your
criticisms on my character, civil, mili
tary, or moral ; or, as to my designs in
becoming a candidate for a seat iu the
House of Delegates of West Virginia.
You, General, will not deny on tender
ing you my announcement* for publica
tion iu your journal, that 1 suggested to
you that in the event yoa would get the
nominees of the radical party to go for
the following measures, that I would
decline my announcement and stand
out of the way: For the repeal of the
Registration Law, for the repeal *1' the
Lawyers' and Suitors' Test oath, for the
repeal of the Dog Law, for the repeal of
all laws establishing bo many unneces
sary offices, and scl^pol incorporations,
against African Suffrage, and in favor
of the redemption of government bonds
by logal tenders ? greenbacks. This
beiug declined, yon published my an
nouncement, and thus it was I became a
candidate on an independent ticket.
Upon the above principles 1 have can
vassed the county iu opposition to
the radical nominees, and though hav
ing lost my election, T have carried
with me seven hundred and seventy
three of the voters of the county, in de
fiance of the radicals of both parties,
aud the principal part of the bond
holders of the county, though a few
houorable exception!) are to be found
among the latter class General. I ad
vocate the repeal ot the registry law
from the corruption that it works, and
from the estrangement of kindly feel
ings it produces, giving an opportunity
to bad disposed man to wreak persoual
vengeance on their fellows. The Con
stitutional Amendment is a fn 11 and
sufficient bar against all daugerous per
sons to liberty. Putting mankind at
large upon their honor is a much better
mearia to secure safety to republican
liberty, than the establishment of a one
man power. The lawyers' and suitors'
test oath is but a high bid for crime,
and a tyranny iu the former case. In
the latter case it closes np the avenues
to justice, and but shields the very worst
species of mankind in all ages ol
the world, and is known to bo the
worst feature connected with the his
tory of the war. I for one have never
fought and hazarded my life to secure
sucn vile prerogatives over any portion
of my race. The whole features con
nected in the premises aro but coward
ice aud false principles. "Truth will
vindicate itself when left free to combat
error," and none but cowards will dis
trust it. The government bouds should
be redeemed at once by legal tenders,
for this very good reason : The people
of this country have never been nor
uever will be able to sustain the pres
ent rate of iutercst on money. In the
first place, the government pays from
six to seven per cent, semi-annually in
gold, equal to ten iu ourrency, and still
the boHds form the basis of the circula
ting medium, on which the national
banks aro established, and these banks ,
declare dividends annually of from
ten to fifteen per cent., making in all
from twenty to twenty-five per cent,
to the bondholder ? a heavy income
on money. With such a state of mone
taiy affairs as this, who would be so
vain as to evun hope for a nation's life
to be continued. I assure you that the
continent had better be to-day on fire
than to suffer such a state of things at
the hands of the Shylocks and monied
autocrats. Croakers may say what they
please on the subject, but every penny
of this money comes out of the bone
aud sinew of the laboring masses of the
country.
The preseutsnrrouudings require that
we come to the rescue of the country
from the grasp of the Shvlocks as from
the grasp of treason, and declaro that
we will allow no twenty-five per cent.
interest the circulating medium of
this country. Mr "Grey-Back" and
Mr. "Blue-Back" are alike interested
in this matter, and it becomes us to
join hands iu remedying this great evil.
A few of my brave boys have been de
coyed from me by the Calso spirits. The
time will soon come when they will see
their error and return to the colors that
aro true. I am well awaro they never
fought to enslave themselves and their
fellows. If I understand the thing
right, they fought to save liberty for
themselves, and their whole countfy's
people. I try to cultivate a kindly
feeling for all my race, and hope to see
them built up a great aud a good peo
ple.
I am congratulated that I have run
best where 1 am best known. This is
uo bad recommendation to a man. My
own towusliip gave me a nuyority over
all the candidates. I am proud of this,
aud have a right to be; ana conld
I have visited tho other portions of
the connty and consnlted fairly
with the people, the numbers
wonld have stood vastly different. I
trust in the future my doctrines will be
better understood, and if they never
awalrd your humble writer au office he
hopes they will award office to men who
dare espouso them, aud himself in com
mon with his countrymen, will realise
the advantage of their adoptiou.
I am. General Northcott, yours re
spectfully, Lot Bo wen.

David Moss, left his home in Columbia, I
on Friday last about day-light, to go
squirrel hunting. His dog returned at
night without his master, and after
being fed, left the house and remained

breakfast, leaving again as soon as he
had been given something to eat. This

Political Prrsrliing.
The New York Txvxcs gives this fair
hit at political preaching in Massachu
setts:
We have often heard of the power of
"political preaching," but never remem
ber to have witnessed so impressive an
example of its effects as in Massachu
setts last Tuesday. The friends of th?
Prohibitory Law arranged, by a con
certed scheme, to have a thousand ser
mons in a thousand pulpits, in favor of
Prohibition, on the eve of the election.
The effect was instant and miraculous.
The State turned by a tremendous ma
jority against the Prohibitory Law.
What would have been the result butl
for the delivery of these ten hundred
discourses we do not, of course, pretend
to say; but we would advise the Pro
hibitionists, if they feel like making
the same issue next year, to get these
; thousand clergymen to preach a thous
and sermons against Prohibition, and
perhaps that will create a "reaction"
| and drive the State back the other way.
The Springfield (Mass.) Ilcpullican, of
the same political faith, has the follow
ing on the same subject:
One thonsand sermons, with a cor
responding amount of praying for Pro
hibition, by the clergymen of Massachu
setts, seems to have had little effeot.
But our spiritual advisers must not
rashly conclude that the people are
given over to infidelity and vice. They
will do well, on tho eontrary, to recon
sider their own notions, and they may
possibly como to see that tho people are
right, and to rely henceforth on Gospel
rather than law, for correcting tho wrong
habits of society.
