BELLAIRE, August 18th, '72.
As was generally supposed when
Col. Poorman was taking notes at the
Danford meeting here, he was prepar-
ing to demolish said Danford, and to
do it in a ferociOus manner as is his
want, when he does such things; she
has gone and done it." The last Bel
laire Commercial contains the instru-
ment that has done the business; as our
| Virginia friends would say: "COl DAN
ford is mo mo- he's gone dead shu'h." I"
If after such q truthful sarcastic and
cutting exposition of his speech Capt.
DanfOrd has the hardihood TO ever pre-
sumo to address an audience in Bellaire
again-why Just let him take the cOasse-
Quesaces and the many hundreds that
were there at said meeting to see and
hear for themselves will feel grateful
evermore to Mr.. Poorman for his ac-
though entirely different from what we
thought we saw and heard we will
cheerfully give in, owing to the Co.'s.

better understanding of the English
language, and other high and noble
qualifications so far superior to any one
present; nor will we in the future pre-
sumo to demur to any Of his state
ments, but humbly ask him, to "COme
again " and tell US show it was" 81
say to you, SIR" we'll be glad to have
you come, Colonel.
On the same evening that the Dam
ford meeting was held the sham De-
mocracy and the Liberal Republicans
had a meeting, some half a hundred
being in attendance, and part of them
being Republicans. A Greeley Club
was organized, j. B. Smith being
chosen chairman of the same. ]. b.
made short speech, the finishing off
sentence being the eloquent and fOrci-
Bile question, '.Have you heard the
news from North Carolina ?" We've
heard it. J. B. is freely talked of here
as the Liberal and Democratic candi-
date for Congress; this makes Col.
POorman's friends uneasy. / was told
the other day that the bringing out of
IJ. B. Smith was attributed to some
one of the Grant Republicans; some
point to DIR. Junkins, and at once say
that it was one of his dirty tricks, just
done to kill Poorman, &C., but OF these
matters cannot speak advisediy, being
| like the boy when asked question,
mot knowing, can't say"
Last evening a large number OF the
delegates to the Congressional Conven-
ton were in town, and notwithstand-
ing Col. POorman and others asserted
that there would be no speaking, a.
large meeting assembled at the City
Hall by the aid of the Brass Band, &c,
Hide Commercially Mr.. ID. w. Leet
was chosen Chairman; the meeting was
addressed by Mr.. Foreman of Noble
County. After telling that Grant re-
|ceived presents, (that was new) and
that he appointed relations to office,
(still newt he proceeded to arraign Gen.
Grant for driving Charles Sumner from
the Craftsmanship of the Committee on
Foreign Relations; SIS there Repub-
lican in the house that will say that
that was right exclaimed he with due
pathos. He spoke of some mossy
backed Democrats. A Republican
present cried out yes;;" ''yes" do you
say, well all / can say is it in the Ian
guage of our Saviour, "Father forgive
them for they know not what they dc"
what unexampIed piety.) He also ar
raigned Gen. Grant for telling whop-
ing lies to Andrew johnson and
averred that johnson proved it on him;
but after that Mr.. Foreman voted for
Grant, of course he did, IN the language
of A. Stole, Esq.
Mr.. Foreman, you're useful; you use
lots of big words, you're quite eloquent,
you make big noise with your mouth,
and you shake up their dry bones (them
HOSES and pups) and you leave great
impression, but Mr.. Foreman you're a
trump, Go on, 90 on, Mr.. Foreman
go on, "Grate old Skwirt." As you
will have full report of the Conven-
ton from other quarters, l will not say
any more in regard to it.
The plentitude Of plug hats ON the
streets indicated large delegation OF
notables from your town. All appeared
Ito be in q good humOr and felt happy, |
no doubt In the consciousness Of trying
to save the country.
We have q meagre show OF news OF
a local character, this week.
Mayor Criswell is some better; he has
had q severe time Of 1t, and we miss his
good humored face upon the streets,
and hope that he will entirely recover.
DR.. NJ. w. Junkins starts this morn |
ing for the north, on a trip for his
health, he Is afflicted with Asthma and
cannot stay with safety here during
this season of the year. He has the
best wishes of the entire community
for his safe return, bettered In health.
The new Bridge across McMahon's
Creek here Is about finished. 1t Is u
very fine bridge and Is pronounced byl
|competent mechanics here success.
Our townsmen are greatly rejoiced at
its completion as they were put to great
inconvenience for the last month for
the want of 1t. Notwithstanding the ex-
lcessive heat, business is driving ahead
In all parts Of the town; mechanics and
ARTISANS are very busy, and all kinds OF
labor Is in demand at remunerative
prices. The general health is excellent.

As already announced the Democrat
ic Congressional Convention that met
here on Tuesday last, with great una
lnimity nominated Col. Poorman for
Congress. To render the farce more
complete q small number of so-called
Liberal Republicans had assembled at
the City Hall, and were carrying on for
themselves in some quiet way unknowDl
to the most Of US, when, as you will see
| by the reports they were taken in out
Of the cold and given seats in the Con-
vention. The beaming smiles on the
faces of all concerned, both Democrats
and Liberalsgave evidence that that con-
summation most devoutly wished for
had been attained and general happl-
ness prevailed, (among themselves at
least.)
