say; but he was not willing that they
should place his claims paramount to those
of every other man in either district, and
then come in with second man to I'LL the
next vacancy and thrust everybody else
aside to accomplish their purposes. lie
was willing to give Mr.. Garlic all the credit
TO which he was entitled-and he is entI-
tled't great deal-for what ne has accom-
plishei in this movement. He was not will
ing however,-and be would speak candid
~ and independeutly-to say that that
gentleman IS entitled TO more credit than
Is due TO several gentlemen who have been
connected with this movementtrom the
beginning. There were other gentlemen
from his own district who had done more
work in Committees-whose labor both
physical and mental would show more up
on the records of the Conventions held in
this CITY, than could be produced az The
labors of Mr.. Garlic. He was satisfied of
this, and if members would investigate Tor
themselves they would be assured of 1t.
As had already been said. Mr.. Car
I lilies position is honorable and profitable,
and one in which he would have an oP-
portunity of representing his people and
| supporting and advancing their interests
| just as much or even more than lie would
| in the Senate. Taking all these thiugt in
! to consideration, he repeated the sugges-
ton that il other nominations were to be
made from that district they be made on
this ballot, and not be brought up on the
second.
/ Mr. FARNswoRTH was appointed to noti-
| fy tue Senate that no additional nominn-
! tons hud been made.
I The clerk proceeded to call the roll, and
| Mr. Garlic received the unanimous vote of
| the House.
Messrs. Davidson, Hooton and West
were appointed to act in conjunction with
the committee of the Senate to ascertain
| aud report the joint vote.
| Tho Committee returned and reported
that Dir. Garlic received the entire votes
! of both Houses on joint ballot.
! So Hon. John S. Garlic was declared
| elected U. S. Senator from Virginia, in
place of R. NJ. T. Hunter.
The CHAIR stated the next business to
| be the election of United States Senator to
fill the place of james NJ. Mason.
Mr. RUFFXEG moved that the further ex-
ecution of the joint order be postponed un-
| til the last day of tbe session
| He said there had appeared to be pro-
priety in electing one Senator, but nc
thought there WAS no immediate necessity
for more. Gentlemen must continue to
feel that they came here to re-estab!i$h so
! fir ms they could, Government for the
whole State of Virginia. Cur enemies,
| said Mr.. R., ''hnve possession OF large
portion of the State, AMI are using ali
maLuer of oppression and violence upon
he good people of this Common w"aitl.
Until those people are relieved from
that oppression it is impossible for them to
co operate with US in the rc-csIa5lishmcat
of this government. think it is but fair,
inasmucF MS process which we trust will
be effective. is now being carried on by
which that portion of our State shall lie
freed from this oppression, that we should
leave at lea.. this one position for such 81
our friends in that part OF the State rs
may come here and unite with us. / do
not see any evil that viii! result from
the postponement. Indeed do no;
see any necessity for an election at
all at this time The existing session
of Congress is only temporary. The
regular session will come OF in December.
The business for which they were called,
can be disposed of without an additional
representative, and the one we have elect
eli will secure our recognition as much as
pleasure of the House to postpone the
Mr.. LOGAN hoped the motion would be
voted down.
The question was taken, and the motion
rejected
Mr.. CRoruERs nominated Daniel Lamb,
of Wheeling.
Mr.. RuFFNER nominated Hon. P. G. Van
Wrinkle, of Wood.
Mr.. KRAMER nominated Waitman T. Will
ley, of MonOngnlN.
FoNTAIN SMITH rose for the purpose OF en-
dorsing the last nomination. He said under
ordinary circumstances it would be unne-
cessary for him to say anything in relation
to Mr. Wiley, but he felt constrained to
meet certain objections in relation to that
gentleman's position. From frequent con-
vergatious he had had with Mr.. Wiley,
and from correspondence with him since
he had been here, be felt it his duty to
e6onerate him fIom these charges He
knew there WIS IN impression abroad
that Mr.. Wiley was uusound on the
great question that had called them
together. He would not say that ad-
vantage had been taken of the gem
teman while he was absent performing
a most melancholy duty, for he believed
honorable gentlemen incapable of such
things, but he would say that measures
had been employed, whether Intentionally
or not-he believed unintentionallv (which
had had a very great effect to lessen Mr..
Wiley in the estimation Of the communi-
" in respect to his position.
81 am aware sir" said Mr.. S. 'that it
has been said that his course heretofore
has been too conservative; aud his speeches
in the Convention Mt Richmond have been
pointed to as evidence of that conserva-
tsm, as alsocerta in filings at the Admins
tration, certain ifs and :ands,' and certain
recommendations in relation to q compro-
mise. Let me say what believe it almost
unnecessary for me to say, and what every
gentleman present must know, that a speech
adapted 10 Wheeling audience or this
body, would be i'll adapted to ~ convention
