Editors Of the Intelligeneer:
Our town was agreeably enlivened this
evening by the return Of our fellow citizen
Q. ]. T. CresGp, Esq, the President Of the
Democratic Congressional Convention q!
Piedmont, from the recent session Of that
formidable body. We learn from him
that the Hon. Q. ]. Faulkner received the
nomination for Congress there, as against
his competitor, B. F. Martin, ESQ de-
lunct. Muchsoclal exhiliration maniiests

dynasty Of him, who, favored supph-
cant for special amnesty, through Foreman
and Butler, became thereupon, over his
fellow ex.confederAtes, the sell constituted
monarch OF all survey" In other words

AS the pretentlous and imposing Crusoe
the late constitutional expounder fell in
the arms Of his sympathising friends at
tho Convention at. Parkersbnrg, 80 his
man Friday got an efectual quietus at
Piedmont One can fancy that several
wreaths Of AoWery embellishment must
have faded from the smiles OF the great
Senator at Piedmont, to have thus seen
one oil his ephemera thus slaughtered In
favor Of leader OF the "old dominion" Of
the Democracy over the area Of the Sec
0nd District. He must have felt q sad
dening premontion from this action Of
the delegates Of the people of his party, ol
the fact that before the present term OF his
career senatorial expires, the progress Of
pnbliC sentiment in this State will have
overthrown the dominant Kingdom oil the
money changers, Of which he Is admit.

TIE HEAD CENTER.
BY the way, we are likely to have
gay time here on the Gath and 25th inst,
the results Of which l willtry to report
10 your readers. Senatorial and Dele
gate District Conventions are 10 be held
here on those days respectively. Ran
dolph and Tucker counties, forming the
Delegate District, are determined to fur
nish the State Senator for the Ninth
District, or 10 secede from their party.
For the nonce, they have furnished Col.
David Col, whose 10 years Of age, as In
hn ~ NhaNla0 7
D. Camden and William G. Brown, have
failed 10 convince him that political
honor is but vanity. OF course, as Bar
bour and Lewis counties form q part Of
the District and predominant on voting
numbers, and firmly believe IN their In
RlIenable right 10 fill all the offices, both
Federal and State, throughout the nation,
the Colonel will fail, and Randolph and
Tucker will ignomionusly secede and
form another independent State"
LIKE WEBSTER COUNTY.
One item more and / will have done.
| give II 10 your readers IS Ct specimen
OF tho tone and elevation Of public senti-
ment in the Democratic party in this Sec
lion. Alta trial term of the County Court
Of Tucker county, on Monday last, o con-
vention oil the citizens was held at 81.
George, to select Delegates Of that county
to the Piedmont Convention, and also 10
those above referred 10, about to be- held
here. A certain citizen Of the county,
whose name will forbear to mention,
was, at a Circuit Court ofthe county, held
last spring, regularly indicted for forgery;
and recognized by that court to appear
before the County Court In tho August
term, to undergo
TIE USUAL EXAMINATION.
Being out on bail for this felony, and q
Democratic member Of this convention,
Gnd as one oil the most honored men OF
the county, be was by common choice
and reclamation designated "a q delegate
10 all three Of the above named conven-
tions. His examination was begun on
Tuesday, and was FASTENED, and the judg-
ment OF the court sending him on for a
trial by jury, duly rendered, and bail
given and taken Tor him, in time to en-
able him to go to Piedmont, as a fit rep
resentative OF his party in the county,
which he did on the following Thursday.
AT the same time Democratic msgis-
tracy, alter the labored defense Of three
able and ingenious lawyers in his behalf,
found 1t necessary to remand him for
iurther trial, they acquitted and dis
charged three other persons, also charged
with ielonies, as not being fit represents
tives for the upper House OF MoundSyille.
But enough OF such Is the party here,
Give us each day, as our daily bread, this
mountain Democracy against that Of the
world and all the rest Of mankind.
