TIE DISCUSSIONS

Our town has been the theatre of AN
animated and highly exciting poli,ical con.
'r'versy, within the last few days. Pur-
suant to the arrangement of their friends
here the distinguished champions of the Adj
mlnistration, Messrs. SMITH, RANpoLpu. and
I-ErciIER, appeared at our Courthouse on
monday morning to address the people
ihey were met on behalf of the Wings, by
Gov. Barbour, JOHN S. PrNpLrros. and
). M'D. MooRs, Esqrs. The concourse
VI people was immense, and hundreds who
were anxious to hear, were excluded bv the
throng from the Courthouse. The discus-
sion was opened by Mr.. Smith, in speech
OF three hours length, in which he deal,
freely In all the stale, thread-bare, and oft
reiuted charges against the illustrious HAIR
RisoN. He was replied to by MIR. Pen
dleton in speech of iransce ndent brilliancv
and power. We but speak the universal
sentiment In pronouncing it one of the most
splendid efforts Of eloguence ever heard in
our Courthouse. The discussion was not
closed between these two gentlemen until
dark.
The next day, Gov. Barbour addressed
the people, whose interest had been so much
excited by the discussion the day before as to
draw them back in crowds to the Court
house. His speech was most eloquent and
impressive, enriched by facts and incidents
In relation to party politics and public mea-
sures, derived from long and active partici-
patton in public affairs. If the counscls of
such man are unheeded, venerable for wears
as he is distinguished for wisdom and pat
rlo'lc devotion to country, then may we in
deed despair of the republic. Gov. Barbour
spoke for about five hours and, by some
strange shuttle of the pack, which we have
not heard explained, he was replied to by
MIR. Smith, instead of Mr.. Randolph or Mr.
Letcher. In this last speech, as at the close
Of his speech the night before, Mr.. Smith
was most reckless and outrageous in his as
sau!ts on Gen. Harrison. Every Islander,
however gross, was raked up, and re-asserted
with all the confidence of conscious truth
We were panied for the intelligence and state
of feeling which could tolerate for moment
such course towards an old and well tried
soldier and patriot. Samuel MsD. Moore.
esq. replied to Mr.. Smith, at the request of
Gov. Barbour. We did not hear much of
his speech, but understand it was in no
minced phrases. Here closed the discus
sion. We regret that time and the state of
our business does not allow us to give full
er account Of it. We never witnessed more
excitement in our community.
MIR. Smith is undoubtedly the champion
of the party in Virginia. He is man of
great TACT fluent speaker, and not very par
ilcular as to his "iacts." We imagine how
ever, that his labors in Augusta will not be
productive of much fruit.
