RIcHMoHn, Jan. so, 1870
|you will see, in the Rlchmond papers Of This
ornr more extensive reports Of the remarks
|ole By different gentlemen, in the course of the
bite yesterday, than it is in my power to furnish.
seaI, therefore, Of attempting to do what has
ady been better done by others, propose oay "a
commentary upon some of the opinions ayowed,
The positions assumed. in the course of the dis
|sOn.
Aud, first, as to Mr.. Goode of Meck!enburg-to-
|d, whom beg leave in advance TO say that in
'nan so bland in his manners, and, his opiuions,
'u when they are most Objectionable, are expires
d language SO Invested OF acrimony, that he de-
res reciprocation Of the courteous feelings
lcl lie always manifests towards his opponents
While Mr.. Goode declared his intention 10 vote
Judge Mason, he seen ed 10 be acting somewhat
der du,ess-that is, he seemed to sustain Judge
asOn as an alternative, not as a choice. There
some otfer individual, (whom lie did not name y
whom he expressed a decided preference bu,
The present state Of parties, lie deemed it entnelv
Nkss to put him in nomination. he could not
elected. and even if he could be, his erection
ud place him in embarrass sing position From
ich infer, that while Mr.. Goode intends TO act
ii The Administration, lie is not ofthat par,y-in
eI words. that he interds TO ''co-o operate" but
ito be identified with them; so that hereafter lie
y, If he Ilease. abandon them, as he has done
late allies" This, however, is not IA matter
much importance, save to Mr.. Goode himself and
constituents.
The topic upon which ! purpose to comm, nj is
principal reason given by Mr.. Goode for leaving
Wings, and affiaing with the Van Buren, par
II would naturally have been inferred that MIR.
would have based his change Of position upon
Oge in The principles and acts of the two great
lies. But this he could not show and il is due
nm to say that he was not guilty Of the temerity
attempting TO show ii. 1t is true, he charged the
llgs with being ultra )ederdt but this charge is
new lhing-it was made and a thousand times re-
aed by the Richnond T., quner. 1ohiie Mr..
dc acted Nth as. Was it tue then =? Ii it was,
cp'Tes Mr.. Goode of all right to use il now as
'ext for his somerset. Was il false then IL
VS. we defy Mr. Goode to point to any act ofthe
@s party, either in or out Of Virginia since 1897,
10 he was one OF us, TO justify the assumption
10 wings are ultra-federasls noso, they were
ally SO when Mr.. Goode ,oas one of its enlhusias-
md most honored members. Blu, l deny tina, i,
true then. or tha, it is true now. The Enquirer
eh formerly used this slang, did so, as Mr.. Goode
is knows, for effect; enable il TO cheat the peo.
; as they have always been cheated, by cloaking,
h popular names, the most odious principles and
asures. Mr.. GOode now adopts il as The only
ssfsi excuse which lie can find for the abandon
Mt S1nss late allies"-an abandonment, dictated,
emily oeIleve, less by political principle than by
Ong attachment TO the eccentric Senator from
u'h Carolina, whose dazzling qualities, both men
ana personal, seem TO bewilder his disciples
