BERRYvILLE, VA, August Is, 1878.
At q meeting held by the people Of this
county Yesterday, at the court house thereof,
delegates were elected to attend the Con-
gressional Convention. This county Is en-.
titled to nine delegates. Out OF the nine,
understand, eight are in favor OF Hunton
and one in favor OF Neill. The meeting,
which was la.ge and enthusiastic, unanl-
mously adopted a resolution approving the
able, efficient. and conscientious manner in
which Hon. Eppa Hunton, our present re-
preventative in Congress. had discharged
his duty.
After the election of delegates the meet
ing was addressed by Mr.. b. johnson Bar
bour. Mr.. Barbour is an independent. lie
is a graceful speaker, but by no means forct-
BILE. Robert Barton, Esq. OF Frederick
county, was loudly called for at the conclu-
sion Of Mr.. Barbour's speech. To use
very beautiful and highly classic expression,
Dir. Barbour got ''Hai, Columbia"
Amongst other things, Mr.. Barbour was re-
minded OF his willingness to take the IRON
clad oath. Mr.. Barbour did not "deny the
soft impeachment before intimated that
Barbour's chances were slender in this part
OF the "moral vineyard" Thou canst not
"make silk purse out OF the ears OF fe-
male swine," neither canst thou send an In
dependent to Congress from the Eighth dis
trict. fear that Mr.. Barbour will have to
remain in the quiet enjoyment Of his can
cestral acres" where he was during the
time that the gallant Hunton and others
were fighting the battles OF their country.
