Hon. Isaac Welsh, of Belmont, NOM

Col. POOrman, who was present, adj
dressed the chair and being called for
ward to the stand said that when his
name was announced as a candidate
before the convention for Congress, he
believed Mr.. Bingham's name would
not be presented to the convention. He
would not say why he believed so. His
friends had urged him to permit his
name 70 be used in that connection, and
he had agreed with the understanding
that Mr.. Bingham would not be before
the convention. The friends of Bing-
ham had presented his name.
No man in the district desired more
heartily than himself the united and
vigorous and successful conduct of the
campaign, or would sacrifice more than
he to secure that harmonious result,
He had Iabored faithfully in the Union
cause ever since there had been Union
party; and he had done all he could for
the country not only in the political
arena, but in the field, and he would
not now stand in the way of the COM
plete triumph of the Union cause by
being a candidate against Mr.. Bing-
ham. He thanked his friends from Bel
mont for the honor conferred in pre-
senting his name. He declined now
being n candidate, and assured the gen
tlemen of the Convention, that during
the progress of the compaign, he would
be found, whether in Belmont county,
or IN the lOtn district, or in the State OF
Ohio, laboring with all the energy he
possessed for the success and triumph
of the Union cause.
Col. POormau's remarks were receiy-
ed with warm applause.
DIR. West of Belmont, on behalf of the
Belmont delegation, then moved that
Mr.. BIngham's nomination be made
unanimous and it was agreed to with.
out dissenting voice, amid much en-.
thUsiasm.
Before the motion was put DR.. Wesl
said he would like to hear from some
OF Mr.. Bingham's friends, an explana-
ton of my policy" (Laughter.)
Mr.. Sharon of Harrison said Mr.
Bingham was not an advocate of "my
policy"
Mr.. Jamison of Harrison said as a
friend of Mr.. Bingham he would say
that the Constitutional amendment
proposed by him, and carried by him
successfully through Congress and his
part in the admission of Tennessee,
should be considered as settling thai
question now and forever.
Mr.. West said he was very we'll salts
, he'd of that when he made the sugges-
ton, but thought he would like to hear
word or two on the subject.
On motion, a committee of gem
tlelnen were appointed 10 wait on
