At "a meeting Of the above Association
held at their headquarters, Union Square,

fully unite with his dear brother Farms
worth In fighting the Republicans that
thew were the greatest enemies OF the peo-
pie; they had caused all the trouble by
their ubiquitous legislation in Congress,
and under their control things were
rapidly going 70 tthe "bad." With
hopeyed words the great rejected sought
10 capture the Greenback influence. In
true "Ony Cannon" style he smoOthed
over the sins OF the Democracy, and, as q
true disciple OF modern demsgognery,
catered to the whims and caprices OF the
Greenback crowd, thinking. no doubt,
that he had captured the entire concern,
But alas, for human expectation. The
irTepressible Farnsworth had accused
Smith OF voting against the interests oil
the people on some important matter
touching the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
In the Constitutional Convention. This
Smith emphatically denied, and gave a
very elegant reason for his not voting az
charged.
Farnsworth came on deck again, and
coolly going down into his saddle pockets
he produced 10 and behold! he did pro
duce) the printed proceedings Of the Con
stitutional Convention, showing the note
OF Fontaine Smith recorded ID. favor OF the
very identical measure referred to. Al
this point the crowd went wild with de
light. Farnsworth continued his victory
by saying that Alpheus Raymond, too
was in that convention, and was no doub
the counsel OF the B. & o. r. X. at the
time, and that every time Raymond tool
a pinch OF snuff Smith sneezed." Thu
brought the house down again. Dan'i
victory completed the humiliation OF the
Rourbons. He retired amid the plaudits o
the crowd. Smith, furious with rage
sprang to his feet and accused Farms
worth with disappearing him, and be
gan TRADE OF abuse against the embryo
CONGRESSMAN. By this time the conven
ton was in an uproar and was only quell
ed by the chairman calling order, ant
thus quenching the burning fires OF Fon
taine's ire.
The following ticket was nominated
For House OF Delegates, NJ. L. Fleming
Finley Oaks, P. Sheriff, Geo. W. Manly
Assessors, S. W. Wilson and B. +. Martin
No nomination was made for the Ollie
OF Prosecuting Attorney. The name o
Ulysses n. Arnett, IT,, the present prose
cutor, and candidate for denomination
by the Democratic party, was presented
10 the convention, but the emphatic mo,
from the gathered throng, indicated to-
plainly that Mr.. Arnett need not appl!

The nominations are all exceeding!

nominee for House OF Delegates, will no

Gov. PIerpoInt,s GRAFTON speech.

KeySer Echo.
The Democratic platform says "the Dem
ocratic party is the friend OF the laborins
man" This friendship it shows by the
nomination Of an inSrained aristocrat IKE
General Hancock. Born Of powerful
and aristocratic family, his training at
West Point has so intensified this feeling
of superiority that he has no more sym.
pathy for the laboring man than LOT the
sngi1e that draws him along the railroad.
In a speech at the Grafton Convention
Governor Pierpoint told how i used TO
make his blood boil to see West Point
officers, with all the insolence Of office, or;
der a volunteer soldier-one OF the KIND
that left workshop or farm to tight Tor
the Union-out OF their presence, with a
stern command never to come into 1t again
save as covering slave with his hat I'M
der his arm. The Democratic party has
had rich men and aristocrats for candi-
dstes-except when it baited its hook with
the self.made man and Abolitionist, Hor'
ace Greeley-while the Republicans have
nominated and elected rail-splitter and
tanner, and now have as candidate man
who once drove mules on the tow.path Of
a canal. Which party is the real friend
Of the laboring man?

fAIRMONT. hAhlNN W. We 'N't
July II, 1850. !
EdIurs intelligence:
The Greenback County Convention met
here to-day for tho purpose Of nominating
a county ticket. Quite crowd assembled
in the Court House in the morning. There
were a great many Democrats, number
Of Republicans and the Greenback
strength Of the county present.
The meeting was called to order by
Spencer W. sturm, Greenbock nominee
for State Treasurer, who made speech
that rivalled the famous efforts OF "0rator
stubbs." 1t was an original speech,
Characteristic Of the class Of men TO whom
the words ''agitator" and "demagogue" 50
apuy apply. Mr.. sturm introduced D. D.
7. Farnsworth, nominee for Congress, as
the "iather Of West Virginia." (degener.
atesiTel. Mr.. Sturmisaid: LET us greet
him with a cheer. The crowd evidently
thought Mr.. S. meant chair, and not
ripple OF applause was heard. All was as
silent as the abodes Of the dead. How
ever, at the critical period, Just as the dis.
tinguished orator had taken his position
on the platform, John RICHTER got up and
proposed three cheers for the speaker, and
they were weakly given.
At this point u tall, lank Greenbacker
came stalking through the crowd and ad.
vancing to the platform deliberately took
from his inside coat pocket a half pint
flask filled with rich wine or bad whisky,
we don't know which, and pouring out
bar glass full set the bottle down under |
the table and retired. This inviting look. |
ing beverage seemed to enliven the peaker
very much. He dealt in the usual TRADE |
Of abuse; seemed to have patent right on
the words, "Shylock," "bondocTacy,"
"thieves," "vampires" and other such |
dreadful appellations.
Dams speech reminded Us Of q speech |
printed 10 the National piei5 some time ago
We don't say It was the same speech, how.
ever. He began by pitching into Fontaine
Smith, who seemed 70 be present as the
yaaguard OF the Democracy. Farnsworth
smoke OF Smiths record in the Constitu.
tional Convention, and in an ironical way
sligmatized him ~ the champion OF the
County Court. Smith here interrupted
with, "Tell the whole truth, sir," and 1t
came in double distilled doses.

Lady Bulwer.
WikOffs $ "reminiscences.

When l rose to bid her goodnight,
she desired me to come and sec her
soon, which I declared would afford me
the greatest pleasure. lost no time in
protiting by her invitation, and cor
dial and intimate acquaintance was es-
tablished. I was not long in discover
ing that Lady Bulwer was most gifted
woman, of rare grasp and brilliancy of
mind, and thoroughly good-hearted as
we'll; but her nature was repulsive and
ardent and she gave herself up without
reserve to the dominant thought or
passion of Che moment. She had sepa-
rated from her distinguished husband
in the conviction that she had suffered
great wrong; but after listening to her
long list Of grievances, that she was di-
vulging with touching eloquence-as
we became more friendly-I could
really decern nothing that might not
have been compromised or easily en-
dured with a more patient spirit All
her complaints, frequently couched in
vehement language, pointed to naught
else than an imperious, dictatorial tenn
per-quitc forgetting that, perhaps, her
own was hardly less sensitive and exact
ing. Yet, in Il moment of anger, she
had taken the rash step Of withdrawing
from her home, and new she found her
peace of mind disturbed. and her mind
made weary and unhappy. She often
wept over the loss Of her two children
whom her husband thought fit to re-
tain under his caae, that the law allow
ed him to do, and she would have mo-
mentarily have made any cences-
sions to have recovered even one Of
them; but this was no longer practical
BILE. 1t was sad to witness, as 1 often
cd, the varying phases Of her discon-
tented, morbid state of mind At times
she was irascible, and would walk the
floor, declaiming in indignant but splen-
did language against the injuries she
had suffered, quite unconscious that she
was in any degree to blame; and then,
giving way to softer mood, would fall
into chair, and, with her beautiful
countenance bathed in tears, would be-
vail her lonely, wretched condition,
bereft of husband, children, and home
that she had thoughtlessly y forsaken.
When she could be led away from the
contemplation Of her domestic troubles,
and began to talk of literature, of art,
and society, she fascinated all about her
who listened in supreme delight to her
witty and dazzling inspirations.

The Hong Kong Journal furnishes
some particulars concerning the Pek-
ing Gazette, the Oldest periodical in the
world. Its circulation is estimated at
over 100000. There are ten publishers
in Canton, each of whom employs
about ten distributors, so that there are
100 distributors in the city and suburbs
alone. The GaeeHe is printed from
movable type, and each publisher takes
q number of copies. It is delivered
every two days to subscribers, who are
Of two classes: the first retain the PAM
phlet and pay about 20 cents month
the second pay about half that sum and
return the Gazette to the distributor the
next time he comes round.

Extraordinary Longevity.

Prominent among the lay representa-
tives in the the conference Of the Metho-
dist Protestants at Pittsburg, Pa, is
Joseph Wells, of Wellsville, O.. He is a
member Of a family of seven brothers
and sisters whose longevity has probably,
no parallel in the United States, the
youngest being beyond three-score and
ten years. Their several ages are as
follows: Mary, SO; James, 81; George,
81; Joseph, 50; Ann, so; Alexander, r.;
Rachel, twin sister of Alexander, r..
The aggregate of all their ages is 557
years. The father Of that family was
William Wells, the founder of Wells
vile. He died at his homestead, near
that town, about twenty-seven years ago
at the ripe old age of 88.

,raine; but an old friend of yours one
who claimed to know you assured
me that you were not quite indiffer-
cnt-"
His voice failed him.
"Who was this friend, Mr. Maples?'
"Mr. Dudley"
He saw her eyes flash. She stopped
at the foot of a flight Of marble steps.
II am at home now. Will you come
here tomorrow and get your answer,
MIR. Maples?"
Her face, gentle and downcast, did not
tell him enough to bid him hope, but he
could not forbear doing that in the sight
of her loveliness. He glanced up at
the wide portals, bronze lions and arched
easements, thinking, after he had bowed
and left her, that Annie Loraine's aunt
must be rich.
Another night of palpitating hope and
fear, yet he came with a manly face to
Annie Lorraine to learn her answer.
II was a little surprised to find Dud-
ley in the room into which he was ush-
cred: He sat lolling in an easy chair,
smiling, complacent, yet with a flushed
face and covert sparkle in his eye.
Miss Lorraine rose from the sofa, and
advanced cordially to her visitor, offer
ing her jeweled hand.
''You have come promptly for your
answer, Mr.. Naples" she said, "and I
will be prompt with you. Iaccept your
offer of marriage, and give you, in the
very acceptance, my most sincere affec-
ton: Yesterday was the first day of
April, and think it is Mr.. Dudley who
will tell us who is the April fool"
With a cry of rage, and furious oath,
he sprang to his feet; but Miss Lorraine
turned her back on him, and walked
with Lynn into an adjoining parlor, and
he made his exit from the house with
out her adieux.
= In ,scheming to make Lynn Naples
offend the heiress by an offer of mar
riage, he had shot beyond his mark.
and, losing all hope Of Annie Lorraine
and her fortune, bitterly repented his
trick of the first of April.
