Hon. J. N. Camden, Colonel John
Blair Hoge and B. F. Martin, Esq.
delivered addresses here to day to a
large sssemblage of the citizens Of this
county. The speech Of M Camden
was calm, sensible, though nsHetsn'
tious expose Of al thefacts1 and cir
cumstauces connected with his nomina-
ton by the late Psrkersburg Conven-
tion. He declared that 30 far as he
knew or believed, and judging from the
irreuroachable character tbemembers
which com posed that body, there was
not the slightest ground for the vague
puerils charges Of corruption or Unfair
ness toward Governor Jacob, or any I'M
proper or undue influences used IN
bringing about his own nomination
nor anything said or act done that could
give the slightest color to the aspersion
Which these charges allege against one
OF the largest and most respectable
Conventions ever convened 10 the
State for any purpose. In the course
of HE remarks Mr., Camden took occa-
sion to express in warm terms the
high respect he has ever felt for Gov
ernor Jacob, and only now regretted ia
find him pursuing . course which would
inevitably subject him, not only to the
charees Of ingratitude towards those
who aad elected him to the highest OF
fee in the State, but might possibly
result, in bringing the people of West
Virginia back to the bondage Of Radi'
calisfn, from which they have so re-
centk been freed. ..
MI Camden spoke but briefly
His remarks were, however, effective
and j to the point, aud he wal
liste ed to by the audience with pro
fouuI respect. He made no effort to
elicit clap trap or boisterous applause
but proceeded ir a calm and dispasaion'
ate way to discuss the merits of tbt
present canvass aud the momentous re
suits to the people which it involved
irrespective of any personal conse
ouepces to himself. Mr.. Camden'l
visit here has produced happy effect
and have already heard more thar
one declare their intention OF support
ing him who have up to this time In
tended to vote for Jacob. His plsir
and unpretentious manner, and th'
courteous and gentlemanly style Of treat
| ing his adversary, has been the theme
OF every tongue, and but for the re"
marplots who have induced Governor
Jacob to assume his present unenvisbls
position, he (Mr. c. would no doubt 81
the nominee of the Convention have
received the unanimous and hearty
support of every Democrat In the county
of Hardy.
Colonel Hoge followed Mr.. Camder
in a most powerful speech, in which ht
4 showed up the coworkers OF this lnl'
guilty to the very life. The defeat O
the new Constitution he clearly showed
to be the stepping stones to a complete
restoration of Radical rule, and Gov
ernor Jacob was to be made the cat'
paw towards it's accomplishment. H'
| is a powerful aid in the cause, and the
people owe him much for the zeal with
which be is exerting it.
B. F. Martin made the closing speech
during which he created great amuse-
ment by the occasional interspersion o
piauant anecdotes with the more sole
and argumentative portion Of his ad
dress. The speaking was continued
after the delivery of the first speeche'
by Messrs. Camden, Hoge, and Martin
Governor Jacob, who was present, re-
piled to what had been said, and Mr.
Martin rejoined, These alterations o
the speakers on either side would hav'
been highly appreciated and edifying
as affording the sdherents Of both sides
the opportunity to form correct opin
ion as to the merits of the controversy
but for the senseless yelling aud cater
waluing of some dozen or so grown VI
babies, with propensity for marrini
the pleasure of every occasion wher
they happen to be present, and wh'
could not, Of course, he restrained from
indulging 10 their Esquimsux-IndiaI
limitations (more in keeping with wild
beasts than intellectual beings) on thiI
occasion. Tomorrow the came speak
ers will address a meeting of the. citi
zens at Howard Lick Springs, on Eas
| river MI,
