tute the StereOtyped COMMITTEES of at |
tendance on all such occasions, and are
as sure to be on hands as the profess
sional iuryman. Notbing about the ire
markable town of Triadelphia indica-
ted that anything out of the usual quiet
routine of village life had been antfci-
patsd. In fact the prospect for q turn
ont from the immelliata neighborhood
seemed so dim, that We suspect some Of
the city faithful began to think that some
irresponsible party had called the meet
ing without due form of law. However,
about four o'clock, a sufficient quantity
of the conservatives had assembled 10
constitute, in point of numbers, a re
spectacle meeting, Some gentlemen
went through the form oiorgAniLinE the
meeting by calling Benoni Good, Esq.
TO the chair. That gentleman much
EN- oarasSed by the morally of bis posi-
ton rendered his thanks to the meeting
township officers and to appoint a COM
mittee TO see that every Johnsonite was
registered, and TO see that every conser-
vHtive WIS brought to the polls and
voted. Some men might have con-
scientious scruples about taking the
oath, these must be removed, for they
have great work to perform in voting
down the Constitutional Amendment,
= thing conceived in sin and brought
forth in iniQuity, which would perish in
fgnominy. Mr. Good having delivered
himself of this weighty quotation sat
down apparently exhausted. A Com.
mittee was then appointed 10 draft res
olutions for adoption by the meeting,
which Committee having retired, Mr.
Good proceeded to introduce that new
and popular orator, Mr.. Richardson,
l and having complinIented him on the
beauty of his eyes and nose. LETT his
| mouth to speak for itself. Air. Richard
son spoke Tor half an hour in his usual
style, style always remarkable for its
| glowing Inconsistencies, he seemed to
think that the manner in which the
Radical Convention which assembled in
Wheeling in the month OF February,
was entirely antt-demOcFaue; said
that no body knew when it was
called; seemed to think il had been
called by the Editor of the INTELLIGKN-
GER, by him compelled 10 adopt reSo-
buttons proposed 6y himself, and, won
derful 10 tel, he had them published
IN his own paper the next morning.
Mr.. Richardson seemed much dis
tressed that in the address to the peo-
pie that convention had not signified
their adhesion TO the new State; that
they were therefore disunionists and
their whole course a reckless display
of one-mnn power, under which there
. was great danger TO the liberties Of tbs
people. He then proceeded to say
thai the great conservative convention
which met at ClRrksburg was great
outPouring of the people, its members
elected by the people and speaking their
sentiments he seemed TO forget that
there was any manifestations of one
man power in Mr.. Lamb carrying the
resolutions TO be adopted by thar con-
| yentiou to Clarksburg in his pocket,
and having them adopted and sent
/ forth 10 the world as the deliberate re-
| suit of the c0nVention'S iEcubation.

I loyalty in the failure of the Clarks-

tiOn in favor of the new State or against

ginia. he then passed on TO an elab-
crate abuse Of the last Legislature,

spirit of forgiveness that actuated the |

" with which he acted was organized, |
that the overthrow must be accom-
pltshed by voting, or else by
way which he would mention. We
suppose Mr. R. Thought it little TOO

this line had so siSnRIly failed; be Sig-i

Opine that Mr.. Lamb will not feel him

State. Mr.. Richnrdson closed his re- |
