SEYArK CHAMBER, January 3ls, 1874.
As tomorrow is the day for the meeting OF the Oe
Oeratie Republican COn0ent.On, and finding from the
proceedings of meeting held in the City Of Wheeling
short time SINCE delegates appointed BY that meet
ing to attend the Convention he senior Editor of the
Enquirer being of them) were instructed TO use
their exertions in procuring my appointment as EtetoT
for President and Vice President that Electoral DIS
trct, | wish to say through the columns of your pa
per- that whilst the appointment would not only be
la,erng 10 me, but gratifying to my friends, existing
circumstances induce me to ask, that my name may
not be used in Convention for that purpose.
Il will be borne in mind, that for many years past,
the river counties in that Electoral District have not
only been honored with ELEcToR, but for the last
FIVE years have furnished the RErREsEsTArIvE in
CosGREss Under these circumstances is it not rea-
sonabe to suppose, that the mountain counties may
now wish to furnish the ELEcToR' Believing, as
do that they entitled TO do SO, and anxious on
my part to harmony, and prevent any thing
like sectional prejudice, perfectly willing to yield
to their claims knowing that appointment from that
section OF the district would be perfectly satisfactory to
the Democracy of the river counties, as they know,
from past experience, that my services are always al
their command and that will be ready to do battle
in their cause without the appointment, as l would
with it.
Having commended against Whiggery, or il the term
suits better Cooney, in every portion OF the district

God willing, Will be found contending with equal
zeal IS44 side by side with the elector, whoever ne

thus more liberal spirit be engendered towards its
adoption, whenever and wherever the peculiar circum-

thai such schools should have met with the disappro-
baton of people at FIRST; because it is innovation
not that generally opposed to change, but
because are specially SO, whenever an attempt is
made to vary from that system Of education, brought
over from Europe and which has direct tendency to
create distinctions, and classify mankind, when our

Indeed it 10 to ne matter Of SURPRISE that while we
boast OF our Republican Government as the best form
