Executive Committee Is concerned, at tin
approaching State Convention. The cdl
tor expresses the hope that "the grcatest
caution will be used in the selection Of thu
gentlemen who are to compose. this Com
mittcc," in order, as he says, that the par
ty "may have men who will not use tht
funds raised to dclray the necessary OK
pcnses Of the party, for Neir OsOH personal
advancement, OF give 1t to the papers thai
arc and always have been dependent upon
tho crumbs contributed by tho party, at
the expense Of their equally deserving
neighbors."
And; furthermore, the editor expresses
his opinion that the committee =" "should
be composed of men who will sec thai
every county In the State has its sharc ol
the public speakers, documents, &C., and
not do like the present committee, who, II
seems, "mass all the means at their com
mand on the First District for the sole
purpose Of securing the election Of ono oI
their pets.'' fGl34i5 ~
We can this q pretty rough sort ol
nm indictment Of the present committee
especially tliat remark about them using
the funds of the party "for their own
personal advancement T1u theyznot

The Third district having now secured
the Capital, and likewise tho State Con
vcntiOn, seems inclined to go for what
little there . Jet, ,and tho EDITOR of the
REPUBLICAN evidently looks upon the State
Committee as precious little remainder.
The ex-etlitor Of the Register saw how
all this thing was going 70 be and SO he
packed Lis, carpet Sack and lit out,
not long ago, leaving behind him
all his prospects for a rcnOmina-
ton TO Congress from this District.
He saw that the Democracy of Wheeling,
and the First District, and especially the
State Committee, had had their! day; that
he had got all the juice there was in the
otapgs And tAat tb cmigFate speedily and
get warm in Charleston before the meet
ing of the next Legislature was tho card
for him to play. 1a' :. 'a' '..-7 20 -'
This hostile demonstration Of tho Repu6-
Tcna against Tie. State Committee, and
the fling ut the First District, may be con-
strucd rs a notice to the Democracy
lcreab6utS 10 stand back and wait
for seat qt the second, table, Whether
this means that they arc no longer to have
tho choice Of places on the State ticket
remains to be seen. If 1t does, what be-
comes of all the two.pcnny putEs that we
see going the rounds about CAMDEN, and
JorN DAVIS for GoVernorH andwhat is
the proper explanation Of the recent labor
ious efforts Of Judge FEHGUsoN ut Logan

It is evident that things OrG getting in n
muddlc with tho Democracy as the 8th Of
June approaches. The heretofore appa.
misunderstanding that "lnume was to be
the woril until they all got together, has
proved wearincss to the editor Of the
Republican, and he has become seemingly
suspicious that the time 70 speak, and
warn, and threaten, is before the con.
vcntion. Is manipulated by the IA
paclous aspirants Of this District, In
Guiding tho State Committee. We think II
possible that ,Ac Is right, and that he is
not premature in sounding his horn, for
tho indications ara that between The State
Committee at this point, tho DAVIS inter-
est at Clarksburg, and the CAMDEN land
AmbOy) monopoly at Parkcrsburg, reg.
ulAr raid may be attempted on tho nom.
nations In the State Convention. Tho
editor Of tho Republican Is alive to tho
fact that Parkersburg is the natural hot
bed Of candidates congeniai home Of
Senators, Judgesand Govenors-and that
she could furnish a statesman for every
place On tho ticket, and ,tlin have d mul,
titudc of injured patriots unprovidcd for
Knowing this fact, he naturally takes the
alarm md fires Oft his signal gun at the
State Committee. Now what has that
Committee to say in replYs Let US hear
their explanation of the charge thatthey
have been using the hard earnings Of tho
horny handed DemecraCy for tlieir per
sonaI advancement"
