large as common plum. Itwonld have re-
quired no great exercise of cunning skill to

derstand the character Of these delegates
well enough to know that they will present
but n single candidate TO that Convention.
As one Of the parties named, we feel author
ICED TO speak and from personal knowl-
edge Of the views and feelings Of the other
parties, we know that the candidates Will
insist upon such course-snd there is no
doubt but what every Belmont County del
egste, although uninstructed, will BE- gov
erned by the action Of the majority.
1t do MT require great amount OF
sagacity to see exactly what is meant in
both these extracts. The purport of
Mr.. Hatton's article is that the Belmont
delegates will present at least three
candidates from this County, and per-
haps more--and, in addition to this di-
vision among themselves, several are
in favor of Mr., Bingham's nomination.
We, irp rpsubstance, say: The delegates
will not act so foolishly, but will pre-
sent single candidate, and the candi-
dates themselves will insist on such a
course.
How any candid man, Of ordinary
intelligence, could conclude that in the
above "the CHRoNcLE.claims that it is
the candidates and not the people, over
in Belmont, who control the action of
delegates to nominating Convention"
is moro than we can see; and yet this
Is Mr.. Hatton's conclusion.
The delegates who are elected to the
Congressional Convention from this
County are practical, common-sense
men, and will not, for the accommoda.
ton of Mr.. Hatton, or any body else,
do so foolish thing as to destroy their
force in that convention by introducing
a multiplicity Of candidates. Nor are
the gentlemen whose names Mr.. Hat.
ton announces as candidates from this
County so ambitious for honors as to
jeopardize the success Of our County
ticket this Fall, by barren competi
ton before that convention, that car
produce no other result. And because
these are Mcts, it does not necessaril,
follow that the candidates control thu
delegates, nor that the delegates con
troll the people.
We hope Mr. Hatton, in his zeal t.
advance the interests of his candidate
and in his efforts to forestall the actor
of the convention, will not forget that
whilst we may differ as to the prophet,
of nominating this man or that man
: when the nomination is made the heart
and cheerful cooperation of all is ne
cessary to secure success, and trea
with fairness and candor those who ma
differ with him. This is all we CLAIM
at his hands--and neither our tongu
nor pen shall be tied, no matter wha
the effect may be, If denied this treat
ment.
If Mr.. Hatton shall have anythin,
further to say upon this subject, W
hope he will follow our example IN,
I print what we have said, in connection
with his comments.

about abolitionism and miscegenation,
and who has so frequently attempted
TO alarm his readers by proclaiming
that the Republicans were in favor of
admitting colored children into the
common schools, and allowing the ne
gro to mingle in church and State with
the white people--should all at once
become the advocate of the colored
man in these particulars, and so des-
perately abuse those who are making

years for the ministers of this place to

or arrangement between the ministers
of this place to alternately preach at
the Infrmary ever existed. 1t was no
unusual thing for the ministers of St.
Clairsville, on Invitation, under the ad-
ministration Of Mr.. Pickering, to preach
at the Infirmary-but no such invita-

About five weeks ago Revs Foutch and

preached to that people during the en-
