The Warrenion Times (Whig) contains
very liberal article in regard 10 Gov. Smith,
Coming from such high authority, ii will tend TO
remove the prejudices OF many Wings, who have
been taught by Wing organs to regard the Co.
vernon as "painled devil" We make few
brief extracts. When his political opponents,
who know The man, speak so highly of his merits,
the evidence is much stronger than the Jealous
laudatons OF his party associates
ION Monday last, a complimentary dinner was
given 10 our lownsman, The Hon. VIM. Smith,
By his friends, without distinction of parry, as
testimonial oitheir esteem for his private and So
cial worth. He had been elected Governor oil
the Stale and was about 10 leave Us 10 assume
the duties of that Office, and ALL forgetting the Po-
liiician, united in doing honor TO The man. Such
things We like 10 witness They do honor TO the
head and 10 the heart They prove sort of 80
cial link between The parties, which otherwise
would be broken asunder, BY eternal political
wranglings.
"Mr Smith responded 10 The toast Tin his
honor 10 a feeling and appropriate manner
He expressed his qualification al this mark OF
respect from his neishbors and frieuds-review-
ed his public lie-spoke of the friendly manner
in which he had conducted all his political cam
paigns-lhs kind relations which had ever ex-
listed between him and his opponents-paIticu-
larly the manner in which the contest between
him and his friend present, (Mr. Chillon) had
been condncled-.lhe opposition which be had en-
countered from political foes and frients-'he IN
expected honor which had called him from
among US, and expressing the kndest feelings
towards one and all, concluded by saying thai
at The expiration Of this term ofofhce he should
return among us, and lay his bones in common
graveyard, with those at whose hands he had re-
eeived so much kindness
"Mr. Chiffon then addressed the meeting, In
his usual leicilous manner-he united heart anf
hand in doing honor 10 the distinguished guest
