Ter and his adherents, by placing Mr..
I Martin in the position which he should
have occupied during the past two years,
and they now believe that no honorable,
high minded Democrat in the district
would have opposed him in this contest.
IT'S true Mr.. Faulkner received the nomi-
nation by intrigue; aided by a few men
west of the mountains, like the Hon. gen.
tlemen from Randolph, who travelled loo
miles to show his Partially, and display
q great amount of ignorance, in perform
ing the duty of President at Piedmont.
The great reason why the eastern coun-
ties desired the nomination of Faulkner
was because of his pledges to restore the
fallen fortunes of Harper's Ferry, when
he knows that such is an impossibility.
And for the benefit of those to whom he
has made such pledges, L would remind
them that at the conclusion Of the war
the government donated the lots and
officers houses still standing on
Camp Hill, to found school for the ed
ucation of the recently emancipated
negro. Mr.. John Storer, of Maine, aided
the enterprise by an endowment Of
$4,000, and in 1868 it was chartered BY
the Legislature Of West Virginia with
the title of Storer College. Now if he
does not destroy this educational enter
prise, and all that has been done for it,
then he cannot redeem his pledges made
to his deluded friends east Of the noun
tains. If he could destroy it, all men
who sympathize with the colored race,
and who are friends of education, and
desire the education of their fel!ow-men,
must oppose his election.
am young man, and have voted
with the Democratic party at all
elections since 1 have had vote; but
have been watching with some interest
growing disposition on the part OF pol
iticians to discard all merit in young and
poor men, and see that nothing but
money and intrigue will qualify man
for office; and l now appeal to all honest
men, especially the young men Of this
district, to join me at the ballot box and
rcbuke the ingratitude shown to Mr..
Martin; and vote for any honest man VINO
NAV oppose the nominee of the packed
convention at Piedmont.
Respectfully yours,

THE PIEDMONT CONVENTION.

As Introductory to the subjOined letter
we insert the following extracts from the
report furnished by "Mr. L. Of the pro-
ceedngs of the Piedmont Convention.
Large delegations were present from
every county in the District except Po-
cahontas and Webster
after some time the
Committee on Credentials pre-
scnted its report, including the names
Of j. l.. Hall, of Bar bour, and Reuben
DAWSON, of Taylor, as altcrnatcs for
Pocnhontas county
"Mr. Sprigg, of Hardy, moved that
the report be amended by the exclusion
Of Pocahontas county; Mr.. Newton, of
Taylor, opposed the motion, and the en-
citrIncnt soon rose to fever heat.
in the midst of the row some p"r'"n
proposed that the altcrnatcS from Pnca-
hontas county be admitted to cast their
vote for Martin, if the Martin men would
consent that the vote from Webster
county, which was also unrcprcScnt"d, b"
cast for Mr.. Faulkner
AT length G. NJ. Dawson, Esq, of
Marion county, who had up to this time
made numerous unsuccessful efforts L"
bring order ont ofchaos and had been SUM
marily raped down almost every time,
stood upon bench in the rear ofthc hall
and, waving his hat in his hand and
shouting at the top Of his voice, finally
succeeded in attracting II moments nj
tention. He then stated that
he had been authorized by McSSrS.
Faulkner and Martin to pro
pose that the secretary be authorized
to cast the four votes Of PocahontaS
county for Mr., Martin and the two votes
of Webster county for Mr.. Faulkner.
This proposition was received with en-
thusiaStic cheers and the whole squabble
was settled at single blow. The report
of the committee on credentials was then
adopted =
