Mr.. Editor: IL will doubt, be gratifying To YOU to
hear that the Fillmore is only working sauta
change in the "strongholds" Of Amercani-m through
the land but is sssaug the bulwark OF ocoio
coism the county Of Chesterfield even where a. you
well know the demon Of democratic Gnstcism has hith
salked the land unimpedcd desoang with sweep
those conservative principles which her patriotic
have endeavored to make the Of love OF
country. Sir. the rejecting people Of all parties
aroused in this county, and the question is the
Union be saved, and by what meanss Are We
Unouloving people, the coming Presidential election
to votes tor sectional candidate thereby giving
assistance in the diaboca work of discovering the
bonds which unite the States OF this confederscy, const
tuing the glorious Union" of fathers, and,
hope, of our sonss These the questions that
agtate the public misd and to have them properly
swered-in other words have the political issues Of the
das fully presented and fully discussed that the
phiscsted. good people of the country may be- fully
ghIened should take in making selecton OF
speakers TO do this aimportant work AL sir, may
rely upon Il, depends on this step We had the pleasure
OF hearing discussion at last Chesterfield court between
Mr.. wloughby Newton Jr, the side OF the Democra-
CIV, and Marmaduke Johnson ESQ, the friend and sup
porter OF Mr. Fillmore, the great national candidate tor
the Presidency BY arrangements Mr. Newton led of in
speech consuming nearly hour, talking about every
Thing and everybody, but the legitimate issues and Mr..
Buchanan Mr. Newton's chief desire evidently being
rcaust the veil which had from antiquity obscured
visions and darkened the minds of the masses with school
bov preparation launched into the principles Of 9S aud
manuscript seemed astoun-
dei when the people indicated by their looks that such
trash that would do Tor bygone days but did suit
the present tmes-that they wanted TO know something
OF the present issuessomethng OF Mr.. Buchanan and
Why they should be called upon support him in prefer
to Fillmore the tried aud faithful man.
Sir language Inadequate to express the complete tri
umph OF Mr.. johnson this all like occasions-
He willing that the principles OF IS and 80. should
With Mr. Thomas Richie, ST., remain entombed in
honorable grave. Mr.. johnson made OF his happiest
efforts in speech remarkable for its argumenative char
acter and force
He completely succeeded in removing the veil which
had already been partially removed by the alarming
gns of the times that had loug and successfully
blinded the people Of old Chesterfield aud exposed the
many d-cepons and gross cheat practsed by the demo
cratic party upon the con6dng people. Mr.. johnson in
his close and faithful analysis Of the times and democra
tic government reminded of those Physiological
cations made by Of science Of whom have read
who with scapel and microscope Ia land take the f
less body, aud by minute examination Of tissue after It's
sue finally expose the hidden to the gaze Of all
NJ. johnson is OF the Tor the present
ijoyng popularity all might envy-remarkably gifted
public speaker-prompt and bold in debate-never
RECEIVING thrust that he does with pros
aiing eect-he should by all be induced take
the stand for Fillmore whenever opportunity offers
