 The President introduced 10 the Convention, our a,sungushed guest! the ilustrious Senator from the .nued which ascended from i5,OOO V,rginians, told hlm at once that he was at home. or the manner in which he responded to the hearty welcome the req der can judge for himself. All we have ,o say, is, that the lustrlous tame of the orator. in the opinion ot the housands who heard him, was lully sustained
 1e proved himself every thing that had been expect
 When MT, Webster concluded, the Convention ad- jnurned tii 4oclock During the evening, various Ie Ie squads of 9O00 each, were addressed by MT. Wni. ,. Archer, MT. John Hill, MT. John Campbell, and again by Mir Webster, towards sul down. in one ot those mighty bursts of eloquence to which he alone can e,ye bI'b Afer night the speaking was con,in' Snowden of Alexandria, Skinner of Baltimore, and Duncan of La. and nt the log cabin by Messrs. B. ". Le'gh. and Cutler ot Buckingham. The delight ot the audience throughout these various speeches. was manifested by frequent and rnp,nrous applause.
 Yesterday, at 10 o'clock, Mr. Riyes addressed the Convention Tn a speech ot some hours-the num- hers but little, any diminished from the day proceed ing Que ot the most siriking features in this vast assembiage, has been that of deep, intense and faggng interest of the whole. At midnight. when he last speaker concluded, universal cry arose for more speaking. Until last evening, in all our inter course with the delegates from every quarter, we hssrd no man make mention once of going home.-, That such place as sweet home existed, appeared to have passed from their memories altogeiher-so around them. M During last evening, Mi TIumes of Abingdon, and Coy. Barbour addressed ibe Convention. The inter. est continued nabated throughout. At night, the Log Cabin and the Capitol Square resounded with bursts Ot eoquence again, which siill delighuDg vas! multtudes as our paper goes to press. ..p.,
 Mir Webster, at the earnest solicitation Of his tel- low.eiiizens made his appearance within the Logs- now the most famous temple of liberty in the land the theatre of the most brilliant oraiorica displays of lhe age, and spoke for two hours, in strain ns he only can speak. The longer he stays here the deeper on account ot the old Bay State, which stood shou der to shoulder !o Old Virginia in the times that tried mems souls. We have no time nor space to charac terze the speech 1t last night Enough that it wa' | We regret tha. our limits would not permit ns tt give fuller and detailed account of the interesting perfect candor that if had had doubt of ike vote o VIrginia this vast oupourng of the people and the cheering intelligence which they bring from ever, quarter. wolild have disspated it entirely: If the % day of November is a rainy day, we shall beat Var Buren least l5O0O in the state-(he rank and file of that party only want good excuse to their leaders
 10 stay from the pols. But whether t'.ere be rair or sunshine. we have them by at least 7OOO and nc | mistake!
