At the close of Mr.. Martins speech

REVOLUTIONS.
WHEREAS, The National Democratic
party, in Convention assembled at Bal
timore, in their discretion and wisdom
discarding all political prejudice and
bias, and looking to the immediate res
toration of our country and the perpet'
ustion of her institutions, have nomi-
mated Hon. Horace Greeley, of New
York, for President, and Hon. B.
Gratz Brown, Of Missouri, for Vice,
President of the United States; and
WHEREAS, The Democratic State
Convention, assembled at Parkersburg
looking to the nomination Of an availa'
BILE, able and impartial representative,
did, among other things, unanimously
tender to johnson N. Camden the nom,
ination for Governor Of the State OF
West Virginia; and
WHEREAS, The Constitutional Con-
vention, lately in session at the city OF
Charleston, have drafted and submitted
to the people, for their approval or re-
lection, a new Constitution, in which
the personal aud political liberties OF
our citizens have been secured and
great civil and political reforms have
been effected; now, therefore, be 1t
Resolced First-That we the Demo
cratic citizens OF the city OF Wheeling,
in mass meeting assembled, do most
heartily respond to the action taken at
the late National Democratic Conven-
ton and do most cordially endorse the
platform of principles as enuuciated at
Cincinnati, and re,aiopted at Baltimore,
and do pledge our united support to the
election of Horace Greeley and B.
Gratz Brown.
Second-That we receive with salts
faction the harmonious concurrence
manifested in the late Parkersburg
Convention in the selection OF its varI-
GUS nominees, and will exert untlrlngly
our utmost energies to secure the re-
spective election Of one and all. with
johnson y. Camden at their head.
Third-That since 1863 we have been
witnesses to the political prescription
and partisan persecution as practiced
under our existing Constitution, and
that we now hail. with mingled emo
tions of patriotism and delight, the
opportunity OF voting for a supreme
law in which our private interests are
made secure and our political rights
protected. We, therefore, unhesltat'
ingly indorse the proposed Constitution,
pledge our united suffrages to its adop'
ton, and will increasingly work for its
ratification at the polls.
Fourth-That we recognize in JOHN
j. Jacob, the ostensible independent
candidate for Governor, the actual
representative of the Republican party,
used as the candidate OF Radical
politicians, to prevent Democratic
triumph, and secure the rejection OF our
proposed Constitution.
Fifh-That We do most cordially eX-
tend an invitation to all citizens, re-
gardiess OF their party predictions, to
participate with us in this great polit-
ical reform, both State and National,
and to assist US in the firm establish
ment of those great principles OF
Republican government, which secures
to the people the greatest liberty with
the amplest protection.
The resolutions were adopted with a
laundering "Aye!" and the meeting
adjourned with cheers for the nomi-
nees.
We have been obliged, by the late
ness Of the hour, to reduce all the
speeches to the smallest compass,
though our notes were very full, and
we had hoped to give a full report OF
all that was said, in this morning is
sue. Enough il given, however, to
show the character Of the speeches and
the enthusiasm Of the meeting.
