LOOKING TOWARD THE IN
EERESES OF BELMONT COJtN
- TY .jt =.

When and where is the convention
| to be called that will have under con.
lsideration the forming of a Stock Com
pany for the development OF the rich
manufacturing and mining interests OF
Belmont County, is a question we bear
frequently asked, and as YET, have
heard no answer. 1t appears to US,
that enough time has been consumed
in talking up this matter, and the time
to act is now at hand; for if the cOnven-
tiqn is not called before the 'sSpripg
work. comnlences, a. great many of
our farmers will fail to attend, who
otherwise would be present, and we all
know, it is this class of our citizens,
which it is absolutely necessary should
be brought into the Convention, for
they are the back bone of our country,
and on them much depends the sue
cessful formation ofa Stock Company,
with capital and energy sufficient to
develop the manufacturing aud min
ing interests of four county, as they have
already done the Agricultural inter-
eSts.

February 1st correspondent writing
from this section. suggests that the
farmers form themselves info a joint

the Importance of "a full delegation from

issues to be decided in the present cam

TRY. H
The importance of thorough local or

ed; nor can this great auxiliary to final
success be too early attended to. In
| this connection, the Committee would
earnestly recommend, that where coun-
lty committees have not already been
selected, that in the call for County
Conventions, on the 18th day of March,
notice be given that the County Central
ICommittees, for the coming campaign,
will be selected at that time.

to the State Convention bring with

committees of their county, and deliver
4 the same to this committee.

!, The Baltimore An,ericQaa says: Mr..
Horace Greeley Is very widely known
to the American public, and he has had
the reputation of being an honest, even
if somewhat eccentric, politician. In
these latter days, however, his fame is
becoming tarnished. While conduct
ing his wild harum-scarum crusade
against Grant, there has been employed
q reckless defamation and misrepre-
|sentation of the President and his sup
porters in the Senate that fail of their
purpose, simply because any man who
takes the trouble to read the Congress
ional reports perceives how very gross
ly. The Tribune distorts the truth to
serve its purposes. Within the past
week the Washington correspondence
of that paper has constantly belittled
every Senator who does not accept Mr.,
Summers assumption that officials OF
the Governments have been concerned
in defrauding France of four millions OF
dollars in the sales ofarms. Perhaps
Mr.. Greeley considers that in blacken-
ing the characters of the President,
Secretary of War and Senators Conk-
ling; Carpenter and Harlan, he is per-
forming praiseworthy part towards
the pPeYentian of Grants renomiDa-
tion sbut ought not he to be an acute
enough politician to know that fair
dealing always has the must influence
on the American people? Mr.. Greeley
not long since asked The World, when
lit published palpable untruth regard
ing him, "What is the use of down
right lying?" The question might
very well be put to him now, and we
should like to hear his ansWer,
