Without pretending to On exact science
OF biography, j venture 70 remind your
readers who these gentleman are. Davis
Is the late diGomftted Janitor OF the Cap
itol building at Charleston, and blatant
vituperator Of rings and Of the new Con.
stitution-the man who threatened at
Charleston TO make a startling revelation
Of the corruption and Yillainy of Walker,
Burdett and Bennett, because DO was de.
ieated for Janitor, and the, man WHO did
actually, In pursuance, and In furtherance
Of the evil design conceived, 20 homo and
canYassed among his Democratic friends
against the new Constitution. M
Col. johnson Is well known rs the
gentleman who aspires at all times, and in
all seasons, to represent this district in
Congress, but satisfies his aspirations
with seat in the State Senate, for reasons
only obvious 10 the "Ring-a yaporing
politician who idolizes his party. II T,
Davisspoke an hour in valnly trying to
develop four arguments for the new con.
stitutlon and against Jacob-arriying at
the lame and ihpotent conclusion that
1t NEW consttuion) ought to be q wise
and beneficial instrument, because Gov.
Wise was Of that opinion.
The stale platitudes Of Col. johnson
were listened 10 by an intelligent audi.
ence OF fifteen or twenty persons. The
remainder Of those In attendance having
left as he arose to speak. It was but q
rehash Of all the harangues he ever made
on the subject,of Registration.
There were only about ninety or one
hundred persons At the meeting, Of which
fifteen or twenty were Republicans. The
highest estimate did not fx the number to
exceed one hundred persons. To bemore
expressive in word, say the meeting,
after having been advertised, shout two
weeks, was q signal failure.
A County Convention was. advertised to
be held at the same time, but for pruden,
tal reasons no nominations were made.
No resolutions were offered endorsing the
Parkersburg nominations because they
would have been voted down. Some Of
the friends of Jacob fearing that Col
johnson would introduce such resolutions.
projected plan to defeat them; but as
the Col: was probably advised Of the power
Of the Jacob men, and Of the impractical.
6ility oil such q measure, nothing was
done TO assure the ring OF. how their
candidate is realized in this county.
No man who passes through the county
can but observe that the spirit Of the De-,
mocracy which supports Camden, does
not animate the entire Democratic party
Of this county. na "a
And l affirm as an illustration IN some
degree of the feeling in this comfy, that
OF thirteen Democrats in this village,
only two or three are not for Jacob as
doubtful, and that many OF the most in
fuential Democrats in this county will
contribute their influence to the defeat Of
Camden: Tyler will give large majori-
ties against both Camden and the new
constitutional full vote Is polled prob
ably three hundred against Camden and
two hundred and fifty against the new
Constitution. F.
