the above, but believe it to be the substance of
Mr.. C's. remarks.
Bv the Committee of Arrangement. Our
brethren Of Berkeley-We hail their log cabin
and hard cider as tokens OF their good fellow
ship and pure republicanlsm, and as larbingers
of our mutual success, in restoring the pure
principles of our forefalhers.
| Mr.. Faulkner being loudly called for, re-
sponded on behalf of the Wings of Berkeley
He said Berkely required no speaker on that
day to proclaim her Whiggery-she was her
self here, in all her majesty and power. He
would point to that long line of fearless and en-
thusiastc freemen, which this day extended
| from Fort Hill to the centre of your town. To
show her idle, it would be to attempt to inn
upon such county the shackes of despotism.
! He adverted to his own course on politics for
the last twelve yearS-to the character, servi-
| ces, and qualification of Gen. Harrison 10 the
sulfrages of the country: and to the brilliant
prospects which now shone upon the friends of
constitutional reform. He thought
sour winter past,
And the hope that lived through it would blossom at Lasts
He would offer no sentiment himself but
would discharge duty which the Wing dele
CATION from the county of Morgan had this day
! imposed upon him, of presenting them to the
meeting. He was happy to learn that the dark
designs and ambitious measures of this admin
istralion had aroused in the county of Morgan
a spirit of resistance worthy Of their illustrious
namesake. He was assured by the delegation
| here, that a large portion OF their countrymen
admired the political course of our distinguish
ed ouest;-if so, they could not be bad men nor
very indifferent Wings He hoped and be-
| lieved that the day was not far distant when
every hill and every valley in that gallant
county, would resound with the war cry of
Harrison and Reform.
John O'Farrall, William Clark, Edwin S,
Ogden, and William Walker, as a Committee
| on the part of the Wings and others of Nor
gan county, opposed to the present Admins
traton, offered the following sentiment:
I'm. C. Rices:-The independent states.
mar-his wisdom, his zeal, his frmness, his
patriotism, his prudence his forbearance, his
disinterestedness, and his love ofcountry, have
secured to him the favor of large proper
ton of the citizens of Morgan county.
By the Committee Of Arrangements. Our
Jefferson triends;--They bear the name of
Jefferson, and they have brought with them
his principles, his virtues and his patriotism.
MIR. Hunter, the Wing Elector for the JEFF
ferson district, being called upon, addressed
the meeting as follows:
DIR. President-The duty of responding in
behalf of the county Of Jefferson to the COM
plimentary sentiment just drank, | had hoped
| would devolve u7on some one present other
Remembering however, the character of those
to whom the ill-judged dersion of our political
| foes has hkened us-ther humble pretensions,
| their extraordinary zeal, and still more extra
ordinary success, in battling for cause which
| alone is holier than that in which we are en-
sted-it is not for me 10 shrink from the per-
formance of any duty which may be offered.
The title thus sneeringly bestowed upon US,
[, for one, proudly accept, and, hike Peter the
| bar, hrxyIia hatY haan
honored,) it is my highest ambition to go forth
l holding up the fiery cross of political crusade,
until the spoilers shall no longer desecrate the
sacred shrine of our blood bought liberties.
/ Mr.. President.-ln obedience TO the call of
nv Jefferson brethren here present, rise not
to perpetrate, at this late hour, speech, but
simply to give utterance TO the lively emotions
with which we receive your kind mention of
the county of our homes. We deemed it pc
cuiary meet, that the county which bears the
name of the iIlustrious Jefferson, should not be
backward in welcoming his lavorite and cher
ished disciple. That welcome we here tender
him, cordially and without reserve and we re-
ioice that he is here cherished by SD many
around us who, like him, loving Rome more
than Caesar, have come out from the IA Dks OF
our enemies, and ranged themselves around
the banner of Harrison and Reform. With
him we hail the auspices Of this day. The p0-
lllcat horizon Is DTl9nttHitip all dTOunu Lie
march of our glorious cause is, every where,
onward. Let the veracious columns Of the
J Enquirer assert that our adversaries in this
quarter of Virginia have been crowed over.
"Nous Terrons." With proud confidence in
the Justice of our cause, we look forward 10 the
18th of March, 1871, assured that the cock
Growing then will usher in the day Of our po-
!, ltical redemption.
In conclusion, offer you the following:
The County of Jefferson to the disciple Of
; Jefferson, greeting-We are assured that mod
} ern Conservatism, engrafted upon the old stock
, Of Democracy, cannot fail to bring forth good
fruit.

t Frederick, C. G. Lee, of Hardy, ID. G. Yost, of
