that there arc at least 10000 people SOL
dicrs and widows Of tue war Of 1912,
who will be entitled to pensions under the
act of FEBRUARY II, 1871. This number

last winter, the maximum number Of the
pensioners living was supposed to be only
5000 but the estimate Of The Commission.

POINT PLEASANT, WEST VA,
Thursday, -: September Z, 1871.
Convention Delegate.

CONVENTION DsleSdte.
Since The call for the constitutional Con.
vention has been sustained by large ma
jorily Of the voters Of the State Of West
Virginia, We have been repeatedly asked
whom We preferred as Delegate from this
county to the Convention, aud We have in.
yariably replied, that from the very FIRST We
have favored the nomination of John W.
English, Esq, for that position. II is
known TO all that Mr.. English has never
been a politician, and is not therefore fired
with political passion, and no question
which mightarise in the Convention could
induce him to take an extreme Or lliberal
position. He is also known TO be q prnc.
teal lawyer, a fine scholar, and thorough
genteman;-one who understands the do
fccts in our present Constitution, and one
who can give an able hand in remodeling
the same. We present his claims to tho
consideration Of the County Convention
which is to assemble in this place on the
10th Of this month. II he receives the
nomination we hereby pledge oursclf to
give him our undivided support, and will
do all We can to secure his election, no
matter whom tho Republican party may
nominate or put forward for the same po-
si;ion; believing as We do that Mr.. English
is among the very best and safest men in
the county at this time for Delegate.
Other gentlemen are spoken Of in con.
nection with this position, among whom
are Charles 7. Bcalc, Esq, James II.
Couch, ST., Esq and John W, S,ecubur-
ger, Esq. These gentlemen are among
tho best citizens Of Mason county-able,
learned. honest and worthy the confidence
Of the people. Either Of them would be a
credit to Mason county.
But,as we said before, Mr.. English is our
first choice, and we hope he may receive
tie nomination. But should either Of the
gentlemen above named receive the uom.
ination from the Convention on the
18th we will support them with all
the power We can command. Our whole
and only desire is to SEQ a good man sent
from this county 10 The Convention. We
find these men 10 be al that Tie people
could desire. 1t is upon such men as
these named in this article that We rely
upon in getting good Cons'itutiOu-ouc
that will be acceptable to the people Of the
State. Prudence is what we desire to be
tho controlling power in the Convection
above everything else.
We do no! wish to DO understood as die.
tating to the County Convention as to what
itshould do, but simply as an humble citi.
zen Of the county to give publicity to
our preference for men to represent US, in
one of the most important bodies that can
assemble in State. We leave the whole
matter in the hands Of the County Couvcn-
ton to act upon it as they deem best for
the public good. We will, however, be
pleased if the Convention will nominate
Mr.. English; and if not him, one Of the
other gentlemen above named.
