THoS. II. Balsg. Having been III thcscrvicc OF De-
,nucrocv and ~. country tr fourteen Years, aud during
,jrs Ion1r period having noted with great consistency
md eminent ability, Gen. Bayiy deserves not only
the apprnl,atjVn Of the people in his district, but the
thanks of Virginia and the support OF the people.
The next Hnuse of Representatives will consist Of
motley crowd of Legislators, and there is scarcelya
doubt that the session will be stormy, turbu.
Lent aud factions; and it such be the case, where is the
man South o:Mnson and DIxon's line better fitted by

But 10 his speech. We intend to state truly and
impartiully IS position, md, I'd Tar rs possible, use
his own language. He commenced by SAYING mat
he regarded the subject Of our Foreign relations, ~
this time, decidedly the most -important subject con-
nected with our political condition. In 'hl", he de-
clGrrd himself conservative. In connection Win inc
public lands, he said, that lie regarded the govern
mcut rs the trustee 10 dispose of them Tor IN" ocnrht
of the whole country. He opposed The publication
Of the Osienl correspondence. lie SAID, ! do mol be-

rcnsnns he would not vote for Mr.. WIse-would not
vote for the Know Nothing candidates, and was n
firm, decided and staunch States Rights Republican
Democrat, and, as such, presented himself before his
constituents for re-electiou.
His address was short, but what he did say, we
think is correctly reported above. On the subject OF
naturaliz alton, Gen. Bayly years ago favored an al
trra;iOu in our present naturalization laws, ma dntS
not take il up ~ any ncw idea or opinion. on thi'
point, we think the people and the country will sns-
tain lim. In alluiing 10 tho Democratic nominee Tor

grct that it 50 happens, but none OF his constituents
require hin TO vote for Mr.. Wise under the clrcum-
stnncrs-nnd he does not intend to use one lotn OF MS
influence against the State ticket. Thus we nave
given the sum and substance nf Gen. Dayiy : posi-
ton beiure the people Of this district.
As To his election, we deem that n matter oeyoh"

fore th, people, and we believe they will, by an over
wlIelming majority, return hin to Congress: we
never indulge IN fu!somc praise or idle pancgyrir, but
we are candid in saying tint We do not 'hiik zen
