month will elapse before the time de-
signated for holding the Convention to
nominate q candidate for Commissioner
Of the Board of Public works, will have
arrived. and as yet but, few counties have
appointed delegates thereto. In oonsid-
Grafton of the Importance of this Office TO
the interests Of the State, we hope our
friends in the different counties compo>
sing this district, will take immediate
steps to secure a representation in that
Convention. The prosperity of our Com.
mOnwealth depends more upon the Board
of Public works than upon the governor
himself. We are at this time engaged in
the prosecution Of a gigantic system of
public Improvements. upon the judicious
management of which together with the
financial, affairs connected Herewith, de.
pend our reputation and prosperity. We
nope therefore, that our Democratic friends
wills the'importance OF selecting good
man for the office, and will Immediately
appoint. a number of gentlemen as dele
gates that will attend the Convention to
to be held in Martinsburg on the 9th of
March next. --.'
