CAPTAIN SAMUEL WATrs.--We ape pleased to
announce that Captain Samuel Watts, Of Ports
mouth, has been unanimously nominated by q con
vention OF the American party Of this district as
their candidate for Congress- WI
Captain Watts is SO well known and 30 highly
appreciated by the people, that 1t would be super
uous for us to enter into extended editorial no.
tice. He is known, not only in this district but
throughout the State, MS an orator Of great force
and eloquence, as a man of enlarged and states
manlke views, and as one Of the most distinguish
ed parlamentarians in the country In private life
no man is more esteemed for his social virtues As
politician, he Is known to be conservative in all
his views, and has won for himself the respect Of
those who differed from him. Captain w has
represented his county in the House of Delegates,
and was member of the Reform Convention, in
which he ranked with the first men in those bodies
He has been twice candidate for Congress in
the Norfolk district, as it was arranged under the
decade of l84o but was de eated, running his OPP
nonents, however, to the throat latch in a strong
D,mocratic district When the election of State
officers was given to the people, and the two par
ties met in convention to nominate their cand
dates, the Wing Convention met and after nom
mating George w. Summers for Governor, all eyes
were directed towards Captain Watts for Lieuten-,
ant Governor and he was nominated by acclama-
ton for the second Office in the gift Of the people
of this State. Captain Watts has never been a
violent or bitter partisan, but is conservative In
all his views Cordially and heartily approving Of
the principles of the American party, he was one
of its first adherents in this section. With such
principles inscribed upon our banner, and with such
an exponent as Captain Watts, we can 60 into the
fight with lofty enthusiasm, confident of victory

SENATOR HuNrER's SPEEcH.-Senator Hunter
addressed the anti-Americans last night at the
African church. We have rarely heard, in one
address, more mis:statements Of facts, jumping to
conclusions, and ingenious sophistry. Yet, II was
set OF with such graceful eocution and was deliv-
cred with such earnestness of manner, as perhaps
to make many Catholics even disbelieve In the
temporal supremacy Of the Pope. Upon the whole,
it was perhaps very plausible defence of Catholi-
cism, and plausible one only II would not
bear an analysis-for stripped of its speciousness
and special pleading, nothing wonld remain.
1t is very fortunate thing for the reputation Of
the Virginia Senators, that speakers Of the Ameri
can party are not allowed to follow them; for we
saw dozen men in that audience-men who make
no pretensons to Senatorial greatness--who, in a
half hours time, would have made the distinguished
Senator ashamed Of his great effort at honey
Juggling the foreigners and Roman Catholics.

Discussion IN LuNENBuRG.-We understand
that very exciting and interesting discussion oc-
Cured at Lunenburg courthouse, last Monday, be-
tween Littleton Tazewe the American candidate
for Congress, and Mr.. r. X. Meade, of Petersburg.
Mr.. Vim. 0. Goode, the Wise candidate, was pres
emit but was afraid to come up to the scratch, and
made Mr.. Meade his proxy Tazewell charged
upon Goode that he had backed out from discus
sion Of the topics of the canvass and was afraid to
show his hand. The excitement was very great
with both speakers and hearers The speaking
lasted from quite an early hour of the day until
dark. Tazewell covered himself with glory and
laurels, and the good cause, we learn, received
a decided impetus on the occasion. As we pre-
dicted, and predict again, Goode ,ciH take every
tack and adopt epeyy device, toavoid meeting Tze-
nell but we hope he will be held up to the notch,
and that Mr.. Tazewell will wool him Gas we know
he can do) numerically, and without stinting or
sparing his blows Follow him around, meet him
everywhere, haunt him like nightmare, and, if
if you don't kill him before the canvass is over,
you will come very near it. by the pure force Of
fright. Richmond Post.
