LOCOFOCO NCE.-DISTPi2UTION
Mr.. Harpcr,-1he whig elector, A. L. SMITH,
for the Harrison district, addressed the people of
Pocahontas at their Angus. Court. After he had
spoken considerable length Of time, locoioco,
who had listened all the time very attentvely,
and seemed very well pleased, turned to GEN
Ileman, who was standing by, and Whispered to
the gentleman and asked, "who the speaker was?''
The gentleman replied Smith" The loco then
asked what he was, Democrat or Whig!" The
other replied, democrat" (Which was empha,i-
cally true.) Well says the loco, ''he is a
smart man: he is hard to beat But" saws
the other, she is called Whig.'' Chen" re-
piled the loco, she is not smart: he don't know
VI hat he is about
ms Is but one case out Of thousands; and it
goes strongly TO show that ignorance or prejudice
is one OF the main pillars upon which the fabric
OF iocolocolsm stands. The great mass of them
are those who know nothing of themselves, but
pin their political faith to some partizan polii-
Grams, who wishes to ride into Office, honor and
distinction, upon the ignorance and at the ex-
PehSe OF those he deceves. They have been
taught 10 play blind obedience to their masters.
III van, Cass, Johnson, Calhoun, Polk, ard 9TH
eIS OF The same grit say they are democrats, and
their parilzan followers begin to herald their
sayings abroad through the land, the deluded
band oil followers all democrats too; not be-
cause they hnoW the principles of their party or
their men, but because :hey have heord That their
principles are so and so. Ask a whip WHY he il
d wing, what are his principles, and who are his
men, and you will receive AN answer But ask
loco what ar, his principles, and instead of re-
ceiying an answer, you will hear him begin to
rldlcule the wings and their measures.
The remarks of the wing elector were plain,
simple and correct, such as would carry convic.
uon 10 any Tho were not steeled to conviction.
ms loco, no doubt felt the truth Of his remarks
ana Thought That that was his man, ga real De-
mocrai;' and no doubt was musing in his mind
what the wings would say to that--how they
wouidanswer him. But he did not know the
man, and was not certain from what he was say
ing what he was, for the elector had Just arrived
about the time he commenced speaking, and it
was not known-before that he would be there
But he hQped he was democrat, and to be fully

We heard Northern man remark once, on be-
ing told of a petty larceny case which had occu-
pied one Of our Courts whole week, that we
treated scoundreIs with too much consideration in
Virginia. If the following is fair sample of
the despatch with which they do such things at
the North, it certainly finds parallel in the
South, except in the administrations Of Judge
LYNCH:

POLITICAL DISCUSSION.

A political discussion took place at our Court
house on Monday, between WILLIAM SMITH, esq.
Of Fauquier, the Democratic Elcc,or for the 7lh
District, and A. II. II. STUART, esq. the Wing
Elector for this District. We were not able 10
attend the discussion, and therefore can give no
account of 1t. We have an abiding confidence,
however, in the ability of our advocate, and we
are sure that the Wing cause sustained no damage
in his hands, although opposed by the most for
midable champion of Modern Democracy in the
State. The discussion was continued for about
six or seven hours. p. S.-We hear Mr.. Stu
arts speech spoken of in rapturous terms, as a
most able and triumphant effort.]

sertion in this weeks paper.-They shall have

counties were epresented-Alleghany, Bath, Bot
etourt, Cabel, Fayetie, Greenb;ier, Harrison,

The following resolutions embody the result
Of the deliberations OF the Convention:
LIST. Resolved, That the James River and Ka-
Eawha improvement is great State work, OF
such magnitude that il cannot be executed with
out the liberal aid OF the General Assembly, and
that that aid ought to be promptly atforded-the
operations OF the Company Immediately resumed
and prosecuted with vigor, until the whole work
is completed.
I'd. Resolved, That the ready acquiescence of
the people of Western Virginia in the action of
the General Assembly, prohibiting the Baltimore
and Ohio Rail Road Company from extending
their work South Of Little Eanawha, was the re-
suit of just expectation, that the means OF con-
veying their products TO market, was TO be afford
ed through the agency of their own State Govern
ment; and that justice, good faith, and a proper
regard TO their rights require that those means
shall no longer be withheld.
Sd. Resolved, That committee Of five be ap-
pointed by the President, to draw up memorial
to the next General Assembly of Virginia praying
that they will give such aid to the James River
and Kanawha Company will enable them
forthwith to resume their operations on the Canal,
and speedily to complete their whole line of i'm
provements TO the Ohio River.

from Winchester 10 StauDton, ought to be extend
ed 10 the line Of the State Of Tennessee.
