w HEREAS, 1t appears from the certificates
w returned by the Commissioners superintend-
ing the taking of the polls at the Court Houses Of
the several counties, with the exception Of the
counties of Wyoming and Mcdowell, from which
no returns have been received,l that at the cleo
ton held on the fourth Thursday Of August, 1871,
for the purpose of taking the sense Of the people
of the State on the question Of calling Conven-
ton to alter the Constitution Of this State, there
were for a Convention, thirty thousand two hun
dred and twenty votes given, and against Con-
vention, twenty-seven thousand six hundred and
thirty-eight votes were given;
Now, therefore, !, JOHN J. j. COB, Governor OF
the State of West Virginia. do declare, that at the
election held as aforesaid, majority of the votes
cast were in favor of Convention;
And do hereby require the supervisors and in
speetors of election OF the several counties of this
State TO cause polls 10 be opened and held ateyery
place of voting in their respective counties on the

spectively, as they may be entitled 10 elect dele
gates to the House of Delegates, and each Sena-
torial District, may be prescribed by law at the
time of holding said election, shall elect two dele
gates"
In testimony whereof, have here
- unto set my hand, and caused the

Let us have Harmony.

History s. full Of instances in which small,
eompsc: aud dcspised forces have snatched tie
victory from immense odds lullei to false Sc
eurity aud weakened by feuds and disseusiuus.
Weyery much fear that too many ofouJ friends
are acting on the dangerous and untrue sup
position that we have no enemy to defeat in
tho coming election, and that the Conservative
party may be split up by al manner Of subor-
jiuate aud irrelevant issues, without endanger-
ing It's rule or opening the door for radical
success. We constantly hear citizens declar-
ing their unwillingDess 70 support any eaudi-
date who does not concur with their own views
on questions which have no necessary conncc-
ton with the canvas, and upon which we End
there exist irreconcilcablo differences. Why
should matters which have not been brought
before the people Of any other county, be intro
duced as clements Of discord and danger in
jefferson let US select men for all the re-
spOnSible positions, County and Township,
whose intelligence and integrity shall be sure
guarantees that they viii truly represent en-
lightencJ and honest public sentiment, and let
Us, as we value success and recoil from the de-
graduation Of the past, keep out Of our canvas
and our conventions the tests and discussions
which the enemy would offer to weaken aud
distract us.
The main aud paramount duty, compared
with which all else shrinks into iusignifcance,
Is to secure a complete and permanent victory
over the radical horde. Let no man underes-
innate or despise their strength in this county,
and especially in this township. Their power
from its very blindness and ignorance can be
concentrated at an hours notice, should any
weakness appear, and there stand ready iusil-
ious and unprincipled men watching every
symptom Of discord and division among US.
Some aspirauts for Office must Of course be dis
appointed, and they and their friends may be
disafIected and sullen, but let every man frown
down the suggestion ofiRdepsRdent candidates,
and in order that there may be no excuse for
such, see to it that all nominating conventions
aud meetings are fairly managed, and every
distracting question kept ont Of the canvass
This we solemnly believe to be the dictate Of
prudence and the only certain condition Of
success

Es-"!:Ns HAIR
ES REVIEWER

Everv wear increases the popu-
larity Of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our OLD
patrons that it is kept fully DIP to
It's high standard and it is the on
" reliable and perfected prepara-
ton for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAZE to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous and silken: The
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. It removes all eruptions and
dandruf; and, by its tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourlshes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger.
In badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except IN
extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever
used, as it requires fewer applica-
lions, and gives the hair Splendid
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,
MD, State Assayer of Massachu-
sets, says, "The constituents are
pure, and carefully selected for ex-
cellent quality; and l consider it
the BEST PREPARATION for its
intended purposes"
