len harmless al his feet and the condemnation oil all
moderate and rejecting men of both parties
In conclusion, lie spoke feelingly eloquent, oil inc
friends WIN stood by hun in the most trying times %
hi, life; and whilst auding 10 his friends his feelings
overcam him, and mlny silent tear stole down b's
high and ll Of all the noble qualities that constitute
the of feeling and gratitude. When alludng 70
his political rs, he said the past was forgiven, ana
That be retired from political life with not one unkind
feeling towards them, and that in dschars'ng tte o.
ties Of the high end responsible station 10 which he had
been called, he should know neither friend nor Toe,
bnt act in accordance with the dictates of reason and
justice.

an able defence Of his course on the stay law. He
said, in regard 10 the stay law lie placed himself on
the broad platform of the Constitution which he had

Scarborough, who both States Rights men, were
proposed-but Immediately prescribed and kicked out

fused to allegiance TO Henry Clay and his hellish
leresie. But The days Of this ultra Federal party
nearly numbered and when the people come 10 know
and understand them, they will dwinde into the most
insignificant and meagre minority; for, no people are
more ready 10 error, when they have
discovered it, than the people of Accomac.

candidate, was sick, and could not attend-he will
spend his winter the other extreme of the county,
Horn Town.
Mr. VIM II. b. Gusts, who is Democrat, next
addressed the people in very handsome and happy
manner, and though but young Speaker, gave ev-
dence that he possessed talent for oratory, at high

in the State man, of his decided talents, should not
be suffered TO bury them, will he; for he will be
of our Delegates next winter when ! hope TO hear
from him You may we'll choose seat for him.
Judge Rayiy's old seat will suit very well. You need
have no fears for Accomac-Ailworth and Gusts will
surely be elected. BE of good cheer and all will be
we'll. ACCOMAC.
