Harrisonburg Convention.
PAUL NOMINATED BY AcoLAMAr1oN

PAUL NOMINATED BY ACCLAMATIoN.
The Convention of the Readjusters and
Republicans, appointed to meet in Harrison
burg on the 10Th, to nominate candidate
for Congress for the Seventh District, met in
the Court House of that place at - O'Clock
III. Every county in the district was repre-
scented by regularly appointed delegates, COM
prising as intelligent and substantial assem-
blage as we hayc witnessed for years. The
Convention was called to order by Col. S.
Brown Allen, OF Augusta, and on motion j
Kinney Campbell, Esq. of Highland, was
made temporary Chairman. On taking the
chair, blr. g. made q few delicious and appro-
pirate remarks, and then called tor business.
The appropriate committees on credentials
organization and resolutions were appointed
Maj. j. G. Newman, of Page, was chosen as
permanent chairman, and the editors OF pa
pers i'll the District friendly to the Liberal
cause, and Dr. W j. Points and John A
Noon, Esq, were appointed Secretaries. Maj
Newman addressed the Convention in a
strong End telling speech. A series of excel
lent resolutions were reported by DIR. j. b.
Webb, and unanimously adopted.
In the abst nee of the Committee, Mr.. l.. II
Walker, of Shenandoah, made Il most ctiec-
tive speech in response to repeated calls.
After the business of organization had
been completed, Col. Allen in terse and in
csive speech, presented the name of Hon.
Jno. Paul for denomination. 1t was seconded
by l.. Ii. Walker, of Shenandoah, and b. B.
Bolts, of Rockingham, and on motion of Mr..
J. ID. Price the nomination was made by accla-
nation, amidst the widest enthusiasm.
Mr.. Paul came in with the Committee APP
pointed to notify him, amid deafcuing ap-
plause, and delivered one OF the ahest and
most powerful speeches we ever heard add
dressed to public audience.
1t was one of the best conducted. best or
dered business-like Conventionswe have at
tended. The delegates were all in earnest.
There was no halting, hesitatng or doubt
ing. Confidence inspired every action, and
not Il whisper of discomfort or diss;iistac-
ton escaped from any one. 1t was rs high
a compliment as weever witnessed rendered
a public servant. Indeed, to have mentioned
any other name in connection with the NOM
nation, would have been taken rs pcrso-
nal affront to each delegate present. The nc
ton, the feeling, the purpose of the Conven
ton, presages q great victory in November
next, and We would not besnrpriscd If Pau

GEN. ]. G. FIELDS,

of Albemarle, then came forward. We come,
he said, with one heart and purpose, and that
is TO redeem the Seventh district from Radical
Repubicanism and place it again in the great
Democratic column. My democracy is of that
kind that has never permitted me to finch
from any responsibility it imposed. 1t is of
that character which compelled me to vote for
the nominee of my party, even when that
nominee was Horace Greeley. If the gentle
man who preceded him would gaze upon his
humble form, he would there see q man who
was proud of having voted tor Greeley in 1872.
He regarded it as the best vote be ever cast,
for it had enabled the Democratic party to
gain control of the lower House Of Congress,
and to keep it for some time. He was not
here, however, to differ with fellow democrats.
Their aims were the same, and the only diff
ference was as to the instrumentalities to &C
complish those aims. This district has ben
well represented the greater part of the time,
but it has been most grossly misrepresented
for short while. We, of Eastern Virginia
have always battled for your candidates, hav
| stood with you, shoulder to shoulder, in evere
contest, asking nothing save that we be per.
mtted to help roll up majorities. Now we
come to present one of our own sons and ask
that you show the same confidence in US tina,
