Many gentlemen have been put III nomination for
Upshur 10 the Navy Department. Nevertheless IN
cline to think that the Legislature will experience little
difficulty in making the selection. There is gen.
tleman 10 whom the whole Circuit has by con-
sent been turned possessing the highest claims
SUPERIOR the whole, 10 any others in the Circuit
and that gentleman is Col Robert Nj Candlish, Of Will
lamsburg. am sure, do not err in saying that the
public sentiment of the Circuit has plainly designated
Col Nj Candlish as the Of Judge Upshur;
and that he should be thus designated is not 10 be

the very best Lawyers Of lower Virginia. For accura

he has few superlors any where lie has always been

an overwhelming Chancery practice under the old
Chancery Court system and little s hazarded in the
assertion that he is Of the first Chancellors the
State The other qualities Of the Judge, by Col
NJ Candlsh possessed in high degree as by any man
in the Commonwealth OF calm and philosophical tenn
per and mistaken integrity, he would honor the judi

virtues 1t has rarely, if ever, happened 10 any to
know Col. NJ 'Candlish, and not TO admire and love
him. In my humble opinion, few, very few, have ever
united in a higher degree all the qualifications Of the
judicial character than Col. NC Add 10 this his
tire acceptabilty TO the people Of The Circuit and the
Legislature must place the highest estimate upon his
claims YORK.

the universal response will be, George w. Southa

Of King William, King and Queen, Gloucester, and
Mathews and Middesex cour1es. As 1t IS his intention
to remove to Alabama, the Duty therefore, devolves
upon the district TO elect his In looking over
the district the gentleman, occurring 10 zoe, IN all
respects best qualified and most entitled TO represent
the district, is DR.. John II. Taylor OF Mddlesex. IL
may proper s,y this announcement rs made with
out consultation with DR.. Taylor, or knowing what his

since he is so well known throughout the whole dis
