The proper way for purchasers to supply
themselves is to apply to a responsible agent
where they know that what they buy is Just

Another method of pushing bad work upon
the public Is to sell through MlLSic Teachers
allowing them large commissions for recon-.

IT HAS been suggested that delegates
should be sent from West Virginia TO
the Convention of Southern Unionists
at Philadelphia, on the Sd of September
next. West Virginia hardly comes
within the scope of the call, as she never
was State in rebellion. But inasmuch
as Some of the Northern States are
moving in the matter of a representation
i'll the Convention, it might be appro-
PIRATE enough for our own to take some
part in its proceedings, more as an evil
dence of its good will and cordial fell
lowship than anything else. The State
Convention at Parkersburg will no
doubt pass upon the subject, and if it
is deemed best to send delegates, they
can be chosen AT that time.

The Union primary meetings through
out the city last Saturday night were
generally we'll attended, and we are
glad to say that evidences of the best
and II ost hopeful feeling everywhere
prevailed. The list of delegates from
the different townships to the County
Convention next Saturday will be found
in our local columns. wepresume we
shall receive the proceedings of the
country townships to-day. There is no
discord in the Union ranks as there is
among the warning and Earring factions
Of the Democracy. The universal de-
sire is to nominate candidates, not on
personal grounds. but for the best inte-
rests of the Union cause. Those alone
who can best advance that cause are
the nominees desired by the Union
party.

JUST as we anticipated, the "Democ-
racy" had fierce and very protracted
struggle over the SherifTalty, in their
County Convention last Saturday-a
struggle, by the way, that is not over
yet, but is to be renewed this forenoon,
fierce as ever in all probability. Our
Main street man, the grocer, as we ex-
pected, had the front seats at the Court
House, just as he had at the primary
meetings, and was able to lead his
rivals very handsomely i'll the ballot
ing. A very slight reinforcement at
the close would have nominated him.
How the matter is to terminate this
morning it is hard to say. Mighty eff
forts were no doubt put forth yesterday
on the part of his rivals. We are told
that beer and whisky circulated lavish
ly among the "outside pressure" Ii
would not surprise us TO see fusion
against the grocery man to-day. Things
looked somewhat that way Saturday
evening. a not impossible event would
be the nomination of Scarborough, who
thus far stands third on the list. His
friends seemed to hang to him with
considerable tenacity, and apparently
acted more in concert with Shallcross'
friends than with those of Campbell.
As Sir Lucius once said, this is a
beautiful fight as it stands" We hope
the everlasting Democracy will strug-
gle on throughout the week.

IL all parties, the best and the worst,
there are men who insist on speaking
the plain truth, and the whole truth,
no matter who hears it, no matter what
scheme it interferes with. These are
the men who believe in it. They are
the most troublesome sort of people for
party; men who take principle right
out to its legitimate consequences.
One of the delegates to Philadelphia, as
reported by a correspondent of the
New York Post is of this character.
He halls, appropriately, from South
Carolina. This is his talk:
"YOu men of the North do not I'M
derstnnd this question. You are intel
igent enough, but none are so blind as
those who will not see. The constitu-
ton is not in the question. We fought
against it, and we are against it now,
Damn the constitution State Rights is
the true doctrine. The true Democratic
principle is State Rights; and it is
above the Constitution. State Rights
Is true Democracy. The majority in n
State are above the Constitution"
Now this is the doctrine to which the
new party must come; or this is the
doctrine to which it must yield. The
men without whom the organization
must fail, hold to this, and although
all of them will not declare it so blat-
antly, they will not the less demand its
practical recognition in the measures.
and in the distribution of the Offices.
