DE then on every occasion advised the
disregard and violation Of the registry
laws, and used his reputation as a law
yer of known ability to persuade ig-
norant men that those laws were IN
constitutional and they would not be
subject to punishment for violating
them. This too he did, a. the candi-

quite ready to enter into the revolu-
tiOnary measures which were so pleas

The party organ here was silent the
next day. but the day following, after
due consultation. It came out with a
sharp rebuke to Gen. Jackson, assert

while the truth was, as every one can

Ii was involuntary, response from the
great body OF the Convention, who
thus showed in Il way not to be mista-

defenders of the Governmentand usurp
their places; and that like hungry
wolves, they were ready to tear down

them and power.
These are facts TO be remembered.

We take the following from Wheel
ing letter in the last Parkersburg
Times:
Wheeling is not a finished" city as
some people think. Its growth If not
rapid Is sure and substantial, Its life
Is its manufactures and especially
those OF iron and nails. In tune it will
DE one OF our leading manufacturing
cities; Luckily, too, for this place, its
establishments have fallen into the
hands OF men who have broud and
liberal views on the labor question.
Auu tue profits are pretty fair
~ divided with their en-
ployees in the shape of lust com
PenSation for the work they perform.
PaFkershuTg has some ADVANTAGES
which Wheeling has not. II has a
kind OF monopoly in the oil business
ana vast supply OF native timber
which is wanting here. 1t has as good
Tree schools, and this is saying good
deal, Tor Wheeling, in this rspeCt ia
not surpassed by any city in the Union.
EHFkeTsburg has as good louudries aud
machine shops. But what 1t still needs
Is veritable life In the iron mills" n
wants the machines that reduce the
Ponderous mass of red hot irnD-tLa
others that in few minutes roll IL out
into rods and bars, and the others thar
IN Ihe t"lnkilnS of an eye convert the
IRON INTO nails. One good rolling mill
anu an nali factory Is worth more than the
state Capital. Why should PArkers-.
burg not have them?
Would it then be imPertient to suv.
gest that the liberal donation which
our Petersburg friends propose to
make in order to secure the Capital
be applied to the establishment Of the
much needed rolling mill and nail fac
tory?
