The meeting heretofore advertised
for Monday Of August Court was held
at Court House Hall on Monday last.
The expectation of hearing the Hon.
JOHN S. CARL1LE had brought a large
crowd of people together, aside from
those who had come to attend or witness
the organization of the newly elected
County Court. .,..E. I'd
AT about o'clock the bell was rung
and the spacious Hall of the Court
House (up stairs, so as not to interrupt
the sitting of the Court was filed by a
large and respectable auditory. The
meeting was called to order by Col.
LEROY Kramer, upon whose motion
GEO. NJ. REAY, Esq, was called to the
Chair, and Z. IL. Sinclair appointed
Secretary. ... ..0... .
The failure of Hon. ]. S. CAn1tLE
to meet his appointment was xplainod
we believe to the satisfaction of the
people as follows -" Mr.. Garlic met
our escort, Mr.. J. j. Thompson, at
fairmont on Sunday at noon, and was
ready to step into the carriage to come
to Morgantown, when he received two
letters from Washington, requiring his
presence there at II o'clock, NJ. on
Monday, at the extra session of Con-
gress. Mr.. Garlic, to enable himself
to meet his appointment here, had pre-
vlous to leaving Washington at the adj
Journment of the 18th, SPARED Off"
with Mr.. Galloway, of the Columbus,
Ohio, District. At Fairmont Mr.. c..
received tclcgraphic dispatch from
G. stating that his OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ed his presence in his scatin Congress,
and informing him that he Galloway
would return to Washington and be in
his seat on the taking up of the Army
Bill at Il o'clock on Monday. This
state of things left Mr.. Garlic no al
Tentative, and he was compelled, how
ever reluctantly, to forcgo his appoint
ment here, and repair to Washington as
quickly as the 'iron horse could take
him there. Mr.. Garlic freely express
ed hls regrets at the disappointment,
but heartily pledged himself to address
the people Of Monongalia at some fu-
turc day. The disappointment was
very great, to our people, but the cir
cumstances so entirely unavoidable,
rendered it easily to be abidod, especi-
ally as we shall yet have the eminent
Virginian' with US.
AT the solicitation Of our fellowc cit
liens, we took the speakers stand, to
advocate the principles of the Ameri-
can party, and to urge the claims of
the American standard bearers in the
present crisis, which duty we discharg-
ed to the best Of our ability under the
circumstances, in speech of some
three hours length, during which we
laborcd honestly and ardcntly to set
forth the American cause in it's true
and legitimate bearings.
At the conclusion of our speech, the
'ROa0lesbury Glee Club sung a patri-
otto and inspiring Fillmore song, in
their inimitablc style.
Calls of" Wiley, Wiley, WILEY"
loud and strong, now rcsoundcd through
the Hall. 1t may be proper to state
that Il report had been circulated that
"W. I. Wiley, Esq, of Morgantown,
had determined to support Buchanan"
and it was understood that he would
define his position before this audience.
Mr.. WILEY appeared on the stand and
was greeted with hearty cheers. lie
said he was an old line Wing, and as
such would support Fillmore, on con-
scrvative grounds. The two opposing
parties, Democratic and Republican,
with their candidates, occupied section-
al ground-he could not, therefore,
support either Of them. lie compared
Mr.. Fillmore with Mr.. Buchanan in
their language accepting their nominal
tons, and O! but Old Buck suffered in
The contrast. Mr., Willcy's speech
was full of stern fact, unanswcrablc ar
gument, and patriotic oppeal--it was
one of the most stirringly eloquent we
have yet heard from him. Rounds Of
