stitution is voted for.
The following are the resolutions
adopted by the meeting:
Reso1ved, That this meeting re-
commend to the people of each Of the
forty-eight counties composing the
new State of West Virginia that as
soon as practicable after the adoption
OF the amended Constitution they APP
point delegates to meet in Conven-
ton at Parkersburg on the first Wed
neslav after the expiration Of ten
days from the date of the proclama-
ton of the President declaring West
Virginia a State is the Union, to ap-
paint unconditional Union candidates
for State officers at the first election
under the new State Constitution.
Resozved, That the action Of this
meeting be published in the Wheel
ing Mteligcncer, Wellsburg Herald,
Fairmont National, and all other 10y
al papers within the State
Judging from the proceedings OF
the meeting generally, we would sup
pose that it represented only Gone
side of the house" and it is not prob
able that their proceedings complete
the arrangements on this subject, or
that their body alone will compose
this GasTention. There may be such
O thing as two Conventions for this
purpose. We anticipate lively time
over the coming elections.
