Aection, he had thought it safer to adhere
to the present system Of County Cosrs--
He had openly and honestly avowsa .
change Of opinion upon that subject-hut
anyinsinua,ion or charge that his views,
as originally made public. had undergone
other changes was untrue.
Mr.. Speed dwelt with great force upon
the policy ofS,ats renovation, and Partlc-
ularly the interest that Lynchburg had. in
the successful completion of the great i'm
provemcnt in which the town had en-
barkeJ, so large an amount Of capital
So thoroughly was he persuaded of the
incalcuable benefits to result to US, and
the whole State, from the construction of
the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad. with
branch tapping the Ohio river, that
were the positions of Mr.. Summers and
Col. johnson changed. he would not hcsi-
tate to desire the election Of the latter.
Mr.. Speed closed by an appeal to the
young men. in uniting themselves in 20.
litical organization. to resolve manfully to
maintain now and ever those principles,
which in their honest judgments they be-
lieved best calculated to promote the pros
perity and glory ofthe country.and to bring
to the fullest development all the mighty
physical and moral capabilities ofthe State.
The address Of Mr.. Cabell was exceed
ingly happy and was received by the au-
dience, with burst of applause at the
close of almost every period. 1t abounded
in fclicitous turns ard animating and en-
couraging illusions. We hope he may be
heard from frequently during the canvass.
Mr.. Campbell fully maintained the very
high stand he has taken in our commun-
ity, as gentleman ofrare mental endow-
ments and cultivation. We can give no
better idea of the appreciation in which he
is held by Lynchburg audience, than by
mentioning that the meeting adjourned
with three hearty cheers for Summers,and
three others for Campbell.
We cannot close our hasty sketch Of
this first meeting of the young wings of
Lynchburg, without drawing from its pro-
ceedings. and the enthusiasm that nantes
ted itself, the most favorable auguries for
the future. We have an unbounded faith
in the ca pacities of youthful intellect and
ardor. We believe that the spirit which
now animates them is the same that has
shone so conspicously in other times and
ountries-whendy nasties have been over
thrown and revolutions achieved by the
arms and will of young men. The inlu'
cnces of that spirit in exterminating the
ancient prejudices and overthrowing the
antiquated policy of this state will be as
potent as it has been in uprooting despo,isms
and overturning thrones. With the ire
pressibIe vigor, energy and enthusiasm of
youthful blood. they have taken the field as
the guarde mobile Of the New Dominion.
They will not be resisted and cannot be de-
featcd.

Sum IllerS In the West.

The Lewisburg Chronicle, ofthe 18th,
expresses itself in the following encour-
aging terms:
ave rejoiced in being able to state that the
from all sections of Western Virginia respcc-
ting the Gubcrnatoral Canvass is of the cheer
ing character. From all quarters we learn the cheer
ing that the Hon. Geo. W. Summers will OBJ
tain majority of votes-many liberal and honest
democrats prclcrring him to Joe Johnson, who has
no claim upon them save that of being Democrat,
which weighs merely rs the dust of the balance
when compared with the great services already
dcred them by Mr.. Summers, and which they know
he will render them if they be so fortunate to
cure his election Governor. We are unable to
say what the prospects in Eastern Virginia, as
We have have had, yet, means Of ascertaining.
We hope, however, that all is right East of the Blue
Ridge, and that Eastern Virginia will give good

the success defeat Of Mr.. Summers is now known
to be dependent upon the Vigilance and activity or
carrlessness and lethnrgy Of his friends in Eastern

Mr.. Summers.

This gentleman, says the Richmond
Times, Of Monday last. passed through
our city Saturday morning. on his way
from Petersburg to Fredericksburg,where
he was to speak Saturday night. He was
met in Petersburg by Mr.. Timothy Rives,
who. physically speaking. is certainly the
most remarkable orator ofany age or coun-
try. We hear that our Petersburg Wing
friends were delighted beyond measure
with the manner in which Mr.. Summers
acquitted himself; and evinced that enthn-
sasn IN all those cordial ways for which
our sister city is distinguished. No peo-
pie m the world know how to do the hand
some thing. or are more sure to do it, than
the citizens Of the Cockade.

Unhappily for Mr. Bocock's excuse for
"Old joe" there is an authority agalnstit.
saws the Richmond Times, which, without
disparagement to either, is rather higher,
especially in Democratic consideration
than theirs. We refer to no less a man
than John C. Calhoun, the great paragon
of strict construction-Mr. Bocock may
imagine that Col. Johnson did not vote
for the Irish relief bill, because he thought
it unconstitutional; but Mr.. Calhoun had
no scruples at all on that score. Has the
worthy candidate for the Attorney Gen

from tho chivalry platform upon that of
the universal consolidated Democracy,
that he has come to regard Joseph john
son as better constitutional lawyer than
John C. Calhoun

The Louisville Journal says We were

men of hemp so prepared as to resemble in
every particular the so-caled "hax cotton"
and demonstrating conclusively the capa-
bilties of common hemp for the manufac-
ture of the finer kinds of textile fabrics
The process adopted by Mr.. Davies differs
materially from that proposed by the Chew
alier Claussen, inasmuch as it is done en-
tirely without the tedious process of boiling
for three hours and the subsequent four
dimensions in alkalies and acids. The
whole of his process is accomplished in
two operations; when, after being dried,
the article is ready for the manufactured
The sample shown us was made from COM
mon unhackled Missouri hemp, and was
prepared in couple of glass tumblerS.-
The cost per hundred for manufacturing
the hemp cotton by Mr.. Davies process will
not, he thinks, exceed fifty cents per 100
lbs, so that under almost any circumstan-
ces the prepared hemp can be furnished to
manufacturers about as cheap as cotton,
and thus enable them to furnish linen
goods about as cheap as cotton goods.
