While there is not one reason that exists for
the nomination of Mr. Letcher, more than ex.
lists for the nomination of any one else; while
his friends do not pretend that he has any
more talents, information or executive faculties
than any of the others named for the nomina-
ton while his private character is not pretend
ed to be any better than that ofany ofthe other
candidates for the nomination, yet with no
more qualifications than any one else. riM all
tie objections that couid be vryed agaiast any
Democrat eriSting, ,tisM md strong against
him, he is persistently urged by his friends, in
reckless disregard of the fair fame, or harmo-
ny of the party. Trusting to the Democratic
majority, they hope 1" drag Mr.. lc,cher
through. even with diminished vote.

THE ADDRESS OF DR.. RUFFNER.

We publish to-day the address Of DR.. Ruff
ner. about which so much has been said, but
about which very little is known by the De-
mocracv. The endorsement and approval of
this address by Mr. Letcher has been the chief
cause of our objection TO him. And now to
let the party act upon the same evidence that
We have acted upon, We reproduce the anti
slavery address
We believe that Mr.. Letcher's approval Of
this address, and his soliciting its publication
constitute serious objections to. and with
this opinion We have opposed his nomna-
tion Should the Democracy judge otherwise,
and nominate Mr.. Letcher, all the consequences
that may follow that nomination will he upon
other heads than ours We have opposed the
policy of his nomination, We have freely and
fairly canvassed his record, We have acted
from firm conviction Of the duty we owe the
party. to warn it against a nomination that We
believe would result most disaStrouSlv for the
party, in its relations 10 both State and Federal
politics.
We feel satisfied that u peru>al Of this adj
dress will convince any impartial Democrat
that Mr. Letcher's nomination would be i'm
polite and unwisc; and as there are many other
Democrats from whom selection may be made,
that they will readily see the wisdom Of our
course and nominate some other man. To Sc.
lect any man with anti-slavery sentiments stain
ing his record in preference TO Henry \. Ed
mundson, the friend and supporter of Brooks,
will, indeed, be misunderstood North, South,
East and West And. when the fact becomes
known, that this Democrat with an anti-slave-
ry record has no greater qualifications than
any Of his competitors. it will be difficult to
convince the world that he was not selected be-
cause Of his anti-slavcry sentiments. In Mon
days paper we shall publish Mr. Letchers let
ter to Mr.. Pryor, and DR.. Ruffners reply to
that letter, and thus leave to the Convention
the settlement Of the contest.

THE RICHMOND EXAMINER"

The propriei0rs 0"d publishers of the Tx
aminer" inform the public that Mr.. p. II.
Aylett was not the author Of its leading cdito-
rial of Tuesday last. We anticipated and re-
fcrred to the possibility Of this. The proprie-
torS and publishers however, do not and can
not deny that Mr.. .iylctt il the editor of the
papcr--and it is habit of ours. when refer
ring to the management Of the editorial column
of newspaper, TO fix our attention OH the
editor, regardless Of publishers. proprietor> or
contributors Thus we shall consider the
Examiner Mr.. Ayletts paper until We learn
that he has resigned the editorial post.
We need notice but n few sentences in Mr.
Ayett's last string Of Lctchcrisns. Mr. Ay-
lett states that on Friday night his ''orpo",nfs
declined a Jirision." This is untrue II is
impossible for man to decline what it was
impossible for him to obtain. The citizen who
called for division. withdrew the call, only
because he was convinced that it was impos-
sible. in so dense 4 crowd, to obtain fair d.
vision. OF this the public has been repeatedly
informed.
The pretence that John I.etcher fought the
battles Of the South in 1914 and lS4S, at both
OF which periods he was an avowcd cinancipa-
ZIONIST, presents two statements even more
irreconcieablc than Mr.. Aylett's having ap.
pointed a list Of delegates, after his own de-
claratioh that it would be unjust for him To
do So
Mr.. Aylett says that somebody else had in
formed him that Mr. Bolts denies having made
on Friioy night, speech which, on good au-
thority. We described him as making on Uoi-
nt~iay night. Try again. Mr.. .iylett.
Mr. Aylctt also chooses to quote the Alexan.
dria "Scntinels' quotation Of an article from
the Clarksburg Register" animadvertins on 4
difference in our daily and semi-weekly editions
on a single occasion. If Mr. Aylett can find
material variance, he is at liberty TO expose it;
he will also find the cause of the immaterial
variance, explained, in the Scni-wccky edition.

Mr.. Buchanan on the Kansas question: ques-
ton paramount to all other questions; and that
his voice will he heard, il necessary. in support
of the only national party remaining, and which
can alone, if any thing can, preserve the Constitu-
tion and perpetuate the Union of the States. He is
not the man, in our opinion, to be led away, at a
crisis like the present, by the stereotyped cry of
distribution; but rising above all such obsolete and
impractcabe issues believe he will show himself
equal to the crisis and to the expectations of his
friends. The Editor says Mr.. Miller is not a safe
political counsellor" for him. We are willing to
take counsel with any man who will stand in good
faith by James Buchanan in his struggles with the alb
olitionsts and reesoers for the rights of
the South and should feel, in doing so, that we
promoting the best interests of the country and
contributing somewhat to prolong the duration OF the
American Union. The Editor no doubt thinks he
can spare Mr.. Miller and he cuts him off. not for
any thing which appears Of record. but simply be-
cause the Editor is aware" that Mr.. Miller does not
agree with him! Very WELL We certainly have
no objection to that. We have given our opinion
our belief merely-as to Mr.. Miller's position and
probable course; but that cannot in the slightest
degree, bind or commit him. We have spoken for
ourselves and not for him. "He is Of age, and can
speak for himsef"-lf he should choose to speak
at ALL
