Great qualification has been administered To our
citizens by the passage Of Bill through the House
OF Delegates for this important purpose, and by SO
handsome majority. This las, fact, although no,
conclusive, is persuasive Of favorable result in the

HON. JAMES MCDOWELL.

The speech recently delivered in the House Of
has attracted towards him the eyes of the whole
country. We have always regretted and never
more than now, that he was not-what we think
he was intended to be-a true Wing. Differing
widely from him in many of our political sentiments,
and opposing his election to office with all our ab
ity whenever there seemed TO be chance of elect
ing Wing, or when any public good was TO be
promoted by opposition, we have yet ever respected
and admired him for his virtues and talents, and
felt proud to be represented by such a man in the
councils of the nation. lie is mushroom poli,i-
clan, no shallow-pated, bOiserous dcmagogue, but
citing political contests in which he has mingled
he has maintained the character of dignified ,cour-
teous gentleman. Yet from some cause or other
perhaps for the reason that he is not ultra enough
many of his own party in the district have never
yielded him more than reluctant support. Quite
