Mr.. McCOMAS AND MR.. BOTTS.

The Whig press has boen charging TINT this gentle
man. the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Co
Bolts for Governor against Mr.. Wise. In speech al
Lexington, Mr.. McComas pronounced the charge un'
true. Whatnew Roorback will these industrious gcn'
tlemen start next2 Armed men sprung no moro rapid
" from the Dragons teeth, than do absurd charges
from the brain of Whig editors. disappearing Mr.
Wise is their business. Flbbing upon Willis Bocock
and Mr.. McComas seems their recreation. The en-
ployment evuces rather eccentric morality; but as
there s no accounting for tastes it would not be pro-
ner to comment too severely upon these moral oddi
ties. Tho popular verdict which awaits them will be
sufficient rebuke for their remarkable ccccntrcies
Of asserton.- Lynch5"rg Repudl'can.

THE KNow-NorHINe CONVENTION.

'v.e ',n'e we have had private information of an
spprUaenne Know. Nothing conventionin Winchester.
An0 a'n's'on Organ confirms the correctness of the
report a'ia announces by authority that Know. No
thing Convention was yesterday held in Winchester,
to nominate candidates for the executive offices of the
State. Now we understand tho mystery of the sud-
den appearance in this city OF many Of tho old sps
vned stagers of the Whig party. They were wondinp
their way to Winchester to consult in conclave on the
means Of regaining their lost power in the Common
wealth.
OF course there is much speculation as to the pro-
bable result of this Know Nothing Convention. For
ourselves we incline to the opinion that the Hon.
VIM. C. Rives will be the Know-Nothng nominee
for Governor. We hazard this prediction without any
reference to the secret sentiment of the Order. For
