&J-Ihe Rockingham Register mentions a
circumstance which we had not before heard
OF, that William Smith, esq. was Missed repea,-
edly during his speech at our last Court On
inquiry, we learn ii the fact, but tina, it was
done by few unruly boys iii the gallery.
who were frequently rebukcd for it, and al
length silenced. We put it to the Register to
say, however, whether it is justified in the use
II attempts to make of The circumstance, to the
prejudice of the character of our County II
WAS distinctly announced to Mr.. Smith by Mr.
Stuart, we understand, at the time he interpos-
ed 10 stop ii, that the Kissing was by bows; and
surely with that assurance Mr.. Smiths feel
mgs might have been soothet-which the ed
ltorprelends were so greatly outraged-iflhev
had not been rendered peculiarly sensitive by
something else-The complete victory which
the Register says he gained over Mr. Stuart
one would suppose might have shielded and
comiorled him under SO petty AN ANNOYANCE.
by the way, however, we have heard IA diff
ferent report of the issue of the conflict be-
tween these gentlemen and the pitilul COM
plant now raised about the kissing. shows
pretty conclusively ,chere the wounds are. and
tina. they are fcH.
We would say farther 10 the Register that
Kissing is no uncommon thing with some of
Its party here in our WING meetings; and that
on one occasion, lately, some bastard threw
"A stone into the window of the Courthouse
While the Clay Club was in session. Yet. we
nave never thought OF Juggling these things in
TO our paper or attempting TO make the De-
mocratic party responsible for them nor
do we mention them now, but to show the
unreasonablenesss and injustice Of the course
Of the Register.

, the same vein, he resumed his seat amid hearty
round Of applause.
A song was then called for from Mr.. ErrlNcER,
which was given, and the assembly then dis.
persed.
Thus have passed and ended the two days Of
the glorious Rally of the Wings of Augusta
without an accident, OF the slightest disorder OF
improperly Of any kind, so far as we know, to
mar the pleasure Of its recollection with any who
participated in it. We will venture to say there
never was more gen,eel and orderly assembly
convened together on any occasion, or for any
purpose.
We have already remarked that the numbers in
attendance far exceeded all our calculations
We had expected two thousand on the first day /;
and there were fully FIVE or six thousand-some
indeed say seven--of whom from II to 1900
were ladies'. Even the most stringent of our
opponents admit there were from three to four
Thousand. and that it greatly exceeded our Rally
in 1910. Considering it was purely a county af.
fair, therefore-and so intended TO be from the,
first-it was certainly not failure.-The whole
number Of citizens present from other counties.
we are sure would not exceed $50, or at most
200. Who can now say that Augusta will not
do her duty in the coming contests
Having taken no notes during the PROGRESS of
the meeting, and writing now, after lapse of
several days, from recollection merely, we may
have made some mistakes and omissions in our
account OF them; but we trust they will not be
'ound material, and that friends will readily
excuse them. We were quite unwell at the COM
mencement of The Rally, and at time feared
total failure of the performance of our duty
That we have succeeded as well therefore, under
the circumstances, is rather subject of gra,ula-
ton to ourselves.

ALEX'R. III. II. STUART.

Capt. Harper: Dear Sir,-knowinu Won IN Id
an ardent supporter of the Wing cause in gene-
raj, have thought it would not be amiss to send
you brief account of meeting that took place
on the head OF Middle River a Short time since.
Inc day set apart for the meeting was the goth
OF August, 1914, where, az reeably to the general
expectation. large and respectable portion of
persons residing in the immediate neiahborbood
convened Tor the purpose of erecting Whig
banner, which had been wrouch, by The hands
OF one OF Nirginla'S farest dauphters Nv thu

Inc occasion, the Flag, bearing the INSCRIPTION of
Clay, FrelInghuysen and The United States, be-
ing elevated to It's lofty position, was soon seen
oonsp'euouSly hoating on The breeze. There
were also goodly number of ladies present, who
manifested their approval of the work both by
Their presence and by the enchanting smiles that
graced their lovely faces. Before the Pole was
sufficiently braced, owing TO the Intervention of a
shower Tue multitude withdrew to a neighboring
barn, where, after the necessary accommodation
ior The comfort of persons who were present was
made, MIR. John d. Sterrett of Rockbridge mount
ed The rostrum and addressed the audience at cons
siderable length, in highly interesting and con.
Vinclng manner, showing The absurdity and faIla-
cy oil the principles Which are advocated by the
opposite party. Notwithstanding that this was
MT. S'erretts first appearance the political
stage, mink he acquitted himself very hono,a-
Oily, both IN respect to his complete confutatlon
OF the arguments advanced by the Polk party and
MS nooie defence OF those advanced by the wing
party. The multitude, without almost an excep-
ton, seemed TO be delighted with the address.
whilst Joy and mirth prevailed throughout; and
1t must have been truly gratifying to every one
present to see what a willing disposition was
evlnced ON the part Of the ladies to exert their in.
huence, (Which is powerful in its effects,) in
thai sphere where they could realize the fond
expectation of its producing the greatest good
May they ever continue to be instrumental in the
propagation of truth and in the acceleration of
the noble cause in which we engaged.

DISCUSSION IN ROCKINGHAM.

The Harrsonburg Republican furnishes spi-
rted account Of the discussion at the last Rock
lngham Court between the electors for this Dis
trlct. A. Fl. ii. STUART and GREEN b. SAMUELs
esqrs.-dilferng wholly from that given by the
Register, which represented Mr.. STUART as hav-
ing been literally .skinned" or demolished by
his opponent, and fully sustaining the gentleman
iy and courteous account to all parties, given of ii
by correspondent in the last Spectator 1t
seems that Mr.. STUART, who opened the discus
sion, confined himself entirely to the Texas ques-
ion-the new issue brought into the contest by
the Locos, and one which the Electors had never
discussed before The people of Rockingham
Instead of meeting Mr.. STUART, however, upon
that great question of the party, to advance which
they had sacrificed their iavorle candidate for the
Presidency, Mr.. VAN buren,, and adopted Mr.
PCLK, man almost unknown to them, Mr. SA-
MuELs lodged his arguments entirely, and launch
ed out into long dlSquistion about Mr.. Clay,
&C. 10 this it seems Mr.. STUART iriumphantly
rejoined. and Mr.. SAMrELs declining to say any
thing more, the discussion was wound up by Mr..
LETcHER In a speech of few minutes How
Mr.. STUART could have been so utterly demolish-
ed, therefore, the Register represents, when
his arguments were not mel al abby Mr. SAMuELs,
must appear most singular and unaccountable to
those who know the facts. There mus, be some
hOcus-pocuS in twill the Register explain?

a5,The Register is at length brought to ac-
knowledge that "Gourd." 1t seems that he
has the thing actually in possession; and the
best of it is, the editor says. .'lhe owner of the
Gourd comes with it, He adds, .sWe intend
to keep the Gourd in remembrance of the fol-
lies Of the Wings in 1870" But why say
"Whigs," Mr.. Register The "ownern as
you call him, denies that he ever was WING
and if he and his Gourd have been guilty
of any "Gollies," we protest against the Whig
party being aiade responsible for them. We

d5-Ihe Rockingham Register is making
strange blunders i'll lis zeal to chronicle con
Vers to It's cause in Augusta. Some whom il
claims as changes, we are told are perhaps
quite as old in the faith as the editor of that
print is himself-some are not voiers-aDd o.
theirs are still Wings. How these things are
we know not personally but this we do
Know that, as far as our information extends,
we shall gain quite as many as we shall
lose by changes. But the most ludicrous
blunder of the Register is, in making one oil
our most hale and yourhful-looking fellow.

For the Spectator .

MIR. Harper-l understand that some gentls
men OF the Democratic party, with u view of di.
mnishing the weight which is attached to the
sanction of the first Bank Of the United States bv
General Washington, have affirmed publicly thar
the amendments to the Constitution had moi been
adopted when he signed the bill to incorporate the
Bank, and that he would not have signed H. If
those amendments had constituted par, of tbat
instrument at that time. This statement, if trae.
would he well calculated TO make AN impression
on the public mind. But, unfortunately for those
who rely upon the argument, it happens NOT to be
true. The only amendments which it is PRETEND
ed, have the slightest bearing on the subject, were
adopted by Congress on the 25th Of September:
i7S9, and were ratified by the States respective
~, on the days which are stated below. The
iatihca'ions were formally communicated to Gen.
Washington, Except in the case Of New York;
and Congress was duly notified of the action of
the States by special messages Of the dates here
matter stated-belng more than six months be-
tore the passage of the Bank bill.
on page "a of the Journal of the first Con.
gress under date of 25th September, 1889, is the
following entry:

Secretary: ~''
