The committee also reported the fol-
lowing resolutions, which we're unanis
mously adopted by the meetings: ss57
/. Whereas. the clearly expressed
sentiments of the third district, has for
some time past indicated Martinsburg as
fit and proper place for the assemblage'
of the convention of Delegates chosen TO
nominate Democratic candidate for the
Board Of Public Works; and whereas, the
Democrats OF Clarke at their meeting in
Berryville, have suggested the propriety
of holding at the same time and place, a

expected TO attend the two conventions,
and that that day be respectfully recon-
