LECTURE.


The second Of the series Of Lectures before the
Richmond Library Association, takes place tonight
at the First Baptist Church, when Professor VIM. B.
Rogers Of the University, will deliver an address
The elegant and known requirements OF this gen.
tleman in science will alone ensure large audience
to-night-but apart from this consideration, we
should be pleased 10 see the whole community. Of
all sexes and conditions, turning out and uniting in
rendering these Lectures interesting and permanent.
They are beneficial TO society, inasmuch as they
beget in the multitude love Of the intellectual and
beautiful, and enIice the young from the haun.s q
vice and dissipation to schools Of int ectua enjoy
ment and pleasure.
The tendency Of the times is adverse to the cult
yation Of the mind and we cannot but commend in
the highest terms the disposition manifested bv
those distinguished alike for their Learning and high
moral worth, in stepping forward 10 arrest the ropd
march Of animate activity which pervades the eoun.

The activity Of the middle nges was prompted
by occasional impulse. The inquietude Of the few
(who, veaTying with tie unvarying monotony OF
the feast and the ehose were enger for enterprises
in orms) often led them into tesnss Of adventurous
daring, followed by the common mass who, habit
uolly subsery.ent to their feudal Lords, held even
their enthusiasm in nbsynrce TO the will Of thsir
masters. But the activity Of our own eountrymen

me'srs. Editors: We are much pleased to see
evidences OF strong and energetic character ON the
part ofour Wing brethren of this district Of n de-
termination not to yield entirely, and without a
struggle, our interests, deep and important as thew
are into the hands of those who still cling feryeny
to the falling dynasty OF Van Blu, ems concoc,ion.E
We are no less pleased that so many are found
among us worthy, talented, patriotic, and in every
respect capable ct sustaining in Congress the repu.
tauon which the ninth district has long borne for all
that is dear and sacred to Republicans. But we
are constrained to introduce farther to the notice of
the proposed Convention to be held on the 18th in
slant, an individual who is we'll known to all TO
need an eulogium to set forth what are usus liy
termed his claims. We shall barely mention the
name OF JOHN GAINES, Esq. OF King & Queen
county.
Permit us also TO express our cone idence in the
enoice which some seem TO make Of more suitable
place Tor holding said Convention than Miller,s.-
There are numerous advantages which may be at
tanned at Croxton's Springs, which the FIRST named
place, despite the greatest eXetions on the part of
us landlord, or even those who may be selected as
delegates, can never have. We hope, therefore.
Croxton's Springs may he selected as the place for
hodlns said meeting, and that every county in the
district may be fully represented.
