the standard for Old lack, when ihey contend

See how. The orator improves as he advances.
He said that Cass had given no evidence Of

About half past o'clock, p NJ. Inc audience
again assembled TO hear speech from that poll |
teal phenomenon, The Hon. VIM. &. Riyes.-
There were about 600 persons present, about 200
were strangers, 300 were from the country and !
about 200 from lown, of whom great portion |
were Cadets and Students, We believe that OF |
those who came in from the country there were |
about as many Democrats as Wings. The |
Wings Of The county are very lukewarm in The |
cause. There were no more Wings presen! than |
are usually AT monthly court. We may say
in advance that The Hon. VIM. c. Rives can ex-
eyclse less influence over Rockbridge audience
than any other Wing in The State OF halt his abb.
