Willcy,s Welcome

We learn from the Constitution that
SeXator WILEY visited his home in
Morgantown last week. While there a
string-band belonging to the village
called on him and rendered a melodious
welcome. He responded with speech,
which his visitors accompanied with
appropriate music. We annex the Con-
stitatiOa's report of the combination per-
formance: s 20
Senator Wiley was called onb some
of his friends on Wednesday evening
and welcomed by serenade. de

Boom, boom, went the old bass viol.
He would not say anything about i'm

had little dificulty in making his hear

Ii is respectfully suggested that, as
far as may be practicable aud conve'
pient, the Delegates he chosed by Town
ship or County ConS eutions, ON
SATURDAY, JULY 4th, 1865.
II is also recommended that
the Delegates from the First and Sec
ond Cong, sssioual Districts in attend
ance upon the State Convention nomi-
nate Congressional candidate and a
Presidential elector for each of their
respective Districts.
The possibility that, owing to their
remoteaess, some of the counties of the
Third Congressional District may not
be fully represented, has induced the
Committee to leave the selection of the
time aud place for making their Con-
gressional and Electoral nominations
entirely To the discretion of the Demo
cratic and Conservative voters of that
District.
Fellow Democrats and Conservatives
Your political brethren in all parts OF
the country where elections have been
held within the last twelve months
have achieved magnificent victories
The great reaction which is to redeem
the nation from tyranny and misrule
he's fairly set in. In other States, Its
progress il irresistible. Let us, too
press forward in the work OF
redemption. Net one moment
should be lost--no exertion spared
County, Township and School District
organizations should at once be com
pleted, and every man who can be
moved to eSpouse The right, should be ap'
preached, informed and melted to ac'
tion. The work is in your hands. Il
you are true to yourselves, your State
and your country, you cannot fail
Success will crown your efforts, and the
blessings of good Government, so long
unknown in West Virginia, will once
more bring to her people peace, prosper
ity and happiness.
