The exercises consisted Of essays, SO

CLARKsBURG, w. Va. Sept. l4th,
Editors of the Register:
take leisure moment to drop you 9
line concerning the proceedings of the
Democratic and Conservative Conven
tion, held in this place on yesterday. II
is admitted upon all sides that this Con
vention was the finest assemblage of the
kind had here for ten years. 1t was com
posed of the solid, thinking men of the
county, every township sending its best
and most substantial citizens as its rep
resentatives. It's proceedings were mark
ed by unanimity and harmony of SEN
timent seldom witnessed not a single
incident occurring to mar the good feel
ing .that prevailed upon the occasion.
The ticket, which was reported by COM
mittee of two from each township,
commanded the cordial approval
of every delegate, and was nominated
by acclamation. The following gentle.
men are the candidates selected:
House of Delegates-Col Benjamin
Wilon, Col. John b. Lowe.
Clerk of Circuit Court-James M.
Lyons.
Recorder-F. Harmison
Treasurer-L. d. Furguson.
Prosecuting Attorney-John Basel
Sheriff-James Monroe.
County SurveyOr-J.N n. Wilkinson.
AssessoIs-Upper District, j T. Ran
dolph; Lower District, Gideon San
dusky.
Pending the preparations of the re.
port Of the Committee on nominations,
the Convention was ably addressed by
the Chairman, Doctor Holt, and by
John Basel, ESQ. During the delivery
of the speeches the waImest enthu.
siasm was manifested, aud ample evil
dence was given that the men there
assembled were conscious of the respon-
sibilities of the hour, and were deter
mined to meet them. After the adoption
of the report, Mr.. II S. Walker was in
vited to address the Convention. At
the conclusion of his remarks, upon
motion Of John j. Davis, Esq, the Con-
vention adjourned sine ale.
l have omitted to state that resolu-
tions were adopted endorsing the pro-
ceedings of the Conventions of white
men," held at Philadelphia, and at
Parkersburg, and pledging the Conserva
tives of Harrison to the support of the
nominees, State and county.
So far as l can ascertain, the prospects
for success here are as hattering as could
be desired. The determination to carry
the county, if hard aud Jealous work
will do it, seems to be the universal SEN
timent among the conservatives, and all
look forward with the utmost confidence
to the result Of their efforts. The coun-
ty ticket, composed as it is of the best
and most popular men in the party, not
only gives satisfaction but it is produc-
ing. enthusiasm. Every nominee has
hosts of 1rienus WHO ~ III bo oornost, nc
tive and untiring in the support Of the
ticket. If the zeal, energy and resolu,
tion prevailing here. could animate the
conservatives throughout the State, the
strong probability of our success would
become a certainty, and the destruction
of radcalism would be inevitable

be made manifest that this Union must
be restored, and that peace, prosperity
and harmony must again prevail through

safely testify that the great portion of
your fellow citizens that Ivisited-and l
