available men-men combining intclli-

gentleman above named in more than nm
average degree. Ia the legislature OF the
old State and the new he proved himself
q safe man, decided in his opinions, but
avoiding extremes, and he ever works
cheerfully in the behalf of his constitu-
ency. Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan
would find in him faithful Senator

trict Of West Virginia.

GertIemen:-The failure Of the late
Convention at Keyser TO nominate,
squarely, a candidate tor our SURFACES
at the next election, requires that some.
thing must be done to secure nominee
who can obtain the full Democratic
strength OF the district. The status OF
the district must not he changed, and
sacrificed, by having two Democrats
in the field. As well might it be expect
ed for Vermont Or Iowa TO return
solid Democratic delegation TO Con.
gress, as Tor US to expect to elect either
Mr.. Hoge or MIR. Lucas, with both IN
the race. Ii is blindness produced by
madness TO think of such thing, and
the Democracy of the district will not,
and must not permit the thing to be
done. Nor does it noU matter who Is
10 blame; the decree has been rendered.
neither of cur two friends can be returned
this time, the innocent Git such there be)
must yield with the other. Nor is 1t
right TO expect eli her Mr.. Lucas or Mr..
Hoge to be at the expense OF Demo
cratic funeral after the election-both
have O future, if they DO not spoil 1t
now and make defeat inevitable. Here
is what can be done: A Jefersonian
Democrat shuald be selected to harmon
ize the turbulent elements, so tiercely
putin motion by the personal pariizaus
of Messrs. Hoge and Lucas.
This public appeal IS made directly TO
the Hon. John BLAIR Hoge and the Hon.
D. Il. Lucas, in the interest OF harmo-
ny, with request for each to publicly
sirnify his acceptance OF some tair plan
in this district.
II, however, Judge Hoge and Mr..
Lucas will not so agree and advise, then
on Saturday; the 10th of September
next, by and through the agency and
direction of the County Democratic Elk
ecutiye Committees, ballot should be
opened IN every Maglsterial district, at
all the precincts, for Democratic voters,
in all OF the fifteen counties comprising
this Congressional District Polls 10
be kept open from 10 until 4 o'clock OF
said day, and such candidate, or candi-
dates as may be suggested shall be bal
loted for; aud after counting the ballots
the result should be certified to the Tx
ecutive Committee Of each county, and
by them again to the State Executive
Committee, who shall declare the per-
son having the highest number OF votes
TO be the Democratic candidate for
Congress in the 2nd district of West
Virginia.

friends OF both The competitors, and
will be followed up by signatures in the
near future. In the meantime, the Dem

The friends of Mr.. Smith think his adj

of the season, will relieve the dreary idle
