The delegates met in the Court House
at 10 A. NJ, barely filling the area with.
In the railing. Probably tVVentV on
thirty, but certainly not moro. sDecta-
tors appeared without the railing and
In gallery. There was no music and
no exhibition Of ehth .fhe fiIrrl
out being evidently too small to excite
s1eh teedngi and when Mr.. Lamb, of
wheeling as Chairman OF the State
Executive Committee, arose and in his
cold and unimpasSioned manner pro-
ceeded to state the circumstances under
which the Convention had been called,
4 chill OF depression seemed TO peryRde
all present, and a large proportion
probably took cold on the instant. But
when the Chairman of the Committee
concluded by invoking on this body the
spirit which had animated the Phila-
delphia Convention ito wit, the spirit of
A. Johnson) the delegates rallied lit

and MesSrS. j. q, Walker, of the Par
kersbuTg Gazette, Henry s. Walker, OF
Clarksburgs and Major A. F. McCoWn,
OF Mason county, as temporary Secre-
taries.
On assuming the chair Judge Ken
nedy briefly returned thanks for the
honor conferred, and INDUCED in a, few
general remarks. He inferred that the
Convention in bestowing this honor
upon him meant to assert that It did
not concur IN the action of the
radical legislature" of winter be-
fore last towards him lin allusion to
| his Impeachment and EemoYal.l He
avOwed his gnionism, and alluded to
| the difficulties under which, asa South
eEn man, he had maintained it, but he
denounced the radicals" He consid-
cred ssradicalism as much seeessionism
as secessiouism ilself,D and referring
to those he denounced as radicals, said
they were TRAITORS TO the country" and
| 'disunionists at heart;" and he hoped
/ he and his fellow delegates had come
| up here to anuihilate the radicals from
the face of the earth, Ia sentiment that
/ brought out rounds ofapplause.}
