state as a significant fact that whilst

for the purpose of radfying the nomina-
tons and endorsing the proceedings ofthe

and on his motion R. M HALL, Esq, was

Capt. Thomas, Jno. Rumble was chosen
Secretary |: :. w.. -.
The Chairman introduced Col. Tnos.
L. BRoUN, Assistant Elector for this
ELECTORAL district, who addressed the
meeting in spirited and able speech for
about atkree-q oarters of an hour: After
Col. Broun concluded, he introduced
Albert? g. JENKINS, Esq, County Elector
of Cabell county, who, in d very able
and lucid manner, ad dressed the meeting
for the balance Of the time granted by
the, Court for the meeting. Alter Mr.

Mr.. Jenkins arose and challenged Mr.

ing, which he { LaidIey) decEned.'
/ Capt. r. n. B. Thompson, offered the
following rasolutions, which were unan-

mOny OF ths Son. -

The blessing which the good book
promises the peace makers, implies a
censure and a curse upon the person
of opposite character Society de-
tests him who wantonly or malicious.

Especially doall honest people despise
the flemish purpose, deliberately dis
inters and teammates buried quar-
rel and an. extinct alrimosity,. Yet to
this diabolical office, q portion of the
cod Line" Wing party are devoting
themselves with a sort OF internal en-
ergy of mischief. i , 1T. il,
Henry Clay and James Buchanan,
the foremost champions Of: opposing
parties, once suffered their personal
relations to be effected by their polit-
ical antagonism. The estrangement
was of brief duration, and good-un-
Iterstaniing and kin feelings were
restored and perpetaated to the day Of
Mr. Clay's death. If anybody wants
to satisfy himself Of Mr.. Clay's high
esteem of Mr.. Buchanan, he has but
| toF-refer TO the Senatorial debates dur
ling the famous extra session of 1872
| in which great contest these gentle;
men were respectively the represen,
tatives Of the Wing and Democratic
parties. Though perpetually pitted
against one another, and often Ell
gagged in exciting controversy ON mat
tiers of the highest moment, thei1
bearing indicated nothing but recipro
cal friendship and esteem. And Sc
| TO the end of his, life, Mr.. Clay con
tinuedsto attest his confidence in Mr.
Buchanan's character and his admir-
alton of Mr.. Buchanan's abilities.
| Since the nomination of Mr.. Buch
anan by the Democratic party, certain
persons with hyena sagacity, have
discovered and disinterred the rotte,
remains of buried enmity. All de
cent people avert their faces from thu
offensive thing, while unscrupnlou'
partizans dance around it with vel
Of savage joy. r..
Some of the nameless speakers wh'
broke silence in the recent Conyen
ton of .'Old Lines Wings, sought t
animate and confirm one another il
their opposition to the Democratic
candidate, by reyiying the memory Q
this DISPUTE between Buchanan ant
CLAY. with what tender reverence
did they cherish the: character OF thei
departed leader!. How indignant the.
were at the thought that he and Bnch

a. g. jenkins was then introduced to
the meeting, who, mt minutes left for
the discussion 1.-THE Court having adjourn
ed for only an hour, eloquently and for
eible showed the Importance of the CON
test, and the duty of the people of the
Southern States to support the democrat
ic>nominees. He referred to Know Moth

the Countryyz-it had given 10 the aboli-
tioniar a majority it the House of Repre-
senatives-irhad produced discord and
dissensions among the PeoPe-it had i'm

had trampled under foot the laws of the
country, and denied to'man the right to
exercise his own conscience in matters of
religion-it was high time for the people
of the South 10 repudiate all such fanatic
ism, and stand up for the rights of the
States and of the Union. Mr. Jenkins is
bold, fearless and eloquent. Though
quite young man, he has but few equals
as a public speaker. ". .
After Mr.. J. concluded, quizzical
looking individual known by the name of
Lafdley Of Kanawha intruded himself up
on the time Of the Court and the people.
He sawed The atmosphere for nearly
half an hour and collapsed. We took
some notes ofthis gentleman's remarks,
