gracefully worn. He is one of the s.rn,sest II
most attractive speakers we have heard in IN
campaign. His argument on the Veto DOW,
was compact clear and admirable. In The cour.
of his remarks he PAID just ompliment to CT
Rulheriord's views on The same subject.
Mr.. w. showed that while the Democrat
stood by the same cause and the same prime
plos, now triumphant, for which they fought i
1914. the Wings had renowned not only thei
principles, but every man VINO had been connect
ed with those principles. They had repudiate
the great Embodiment" and had taken up
new, fresh man, 10 whom, in the words of MI
Johnson, "thc odium Of their principles did nc
attach" The Allison letter, which he examine
with great power, was but another "net to cate
birds of every feather In concluding his ad
dress, Mr.. w. said that The ticket of Taylo
and Fillmore could not succeed-that Virgins
would decisively reject ii. In every county il
his district he had converscd with many sound
intelligent Wings, who told him that they cou
not. as Southern Wings, go Tor the ticket witt
the odious name Of Willard Fillmore on it-an,
that General Taylor having endorsed Fillmore
they would both 60 down together. We canno
doubt that such will be tie case all over thu
South, and that the Wing managers will Ions
rue the day that they attempted to insult the
South with such ticket. Mr.. w. made q
rapid analysis of Fillmonb offences against the
South, and after an eloqWnt and beautiful nvo.
cation to the Dsmocrats:o stand up for their
principles and for the Soth, be took his seat in
the midst of cheers.
On motion of Mr.. N. NMartin, the Associa
ton agreed to meet on Wednesday and Saturday
nights next.

WILL THE SOUTH HE'D HER BETRAY
ERSt
We present the follo1ng letter from Tr,l-
man Smith to the Wings Virginia, which we
find highly commended inte Lynchburg Pa,ri-
OF, addressed to The Presieat of the Rough and
Ready Club OF that ,own.We do not know any
thing that would be bette calculated 10 rouse
up the Democracy Of ihiIroud Old Common
wealth, than this exhortatn from an old Blue
Light Federalist and Abolonist, to the Wings
of Virginia.
We would like to know' the political life of
Truman Smith presents o. redeeming feature
which shows, upon any tcasion, that he has
ever, BY word or deed, naifested any sense of
justice TO the interest othe South' So far
from it, every act Of hi:inconlestibly proves
that, amongst the enemiesf The South, there is
not one who has been Dre consistent in his
hostility TO her rights and lerests, than the said
Tru(E)man in the ranks o. her assailants. Why
is il that he has now becoe such marvellous
ly proper man in the eyeof Southern Whigs'
The reason is obvious-t lust for party power
blinds them to the intert of the South, and
their Northern confederas only desire TO get
them bound to the Juggrr ut OF party, that they
may crush them by th readiness they have
shown 10 yield 10 the ma atcs of their maste's
