In THE PETERSBURG CONVENTION
'sMr. Skinner Of Augusta said, that on
the first ballot he had cast his vote for Dr..
G. r. Harris, late Of Augusta, now Of Cul-
pepper, for the Office Of Lieut.. Governor.
He had done SO in spirit Of kindness, and
because he knew that the democracy of Au-
gusta valued highly the services which had
been rendered by DR.. H., while citizen of
that County. Since the conclusion Of the
ballot, however, he had learned shat gentle
men from the extreme East thought it un-
generous, after one gentleman had been
elected by their aid, from the valley for the
Office of Governor, and another from the
same section, for the Office Of Attorney
General, that the West should seek to nom
mate third, but recently citizen of Au-
gusta, for the Office Of Lieut.. Governor. =
These eastern gentlemen had represented
that the ticket would be very much strength
ened in Underwater Virginia by the addition
Of some one whose name would be even
more household word in the mouths Of
their people than that of the distinguished
nominee for the Office of Governor Mr.
Skinner said that he had not come to the
Convention for the mere purpose Of express
ing the original preferences Of his people,
but rather to act in such manner as would
most likely promote the success Of the ticket
at large, and the cause which thoy all cher
sho0 III H.,
how members from all portions Of the State
and particularly from the East, had rallied
to the support Of the Hon. John Letchsr,
the man who was the choice Of the democra-
cy of Augusta; and he (NIr. S. now felt
bound to yield to the appeals OF the East
with reference to the Lieut. Governor
ship
But gentlemen from the extreme East,
said Mr.. S., seem to be divided themselves
between two candidates. Like the lover,
dubious as between two mistresses, they
would no doubt
''Be happy with either, were t'other dear charmer
away"
He, (Mr. S. would endeayor to aid them
in deciding, with but one regret which was
that he could not east his suffrage for both
the gentlemen. (Messrs. Old and Monta-
gue) who came so highly commended by
their friends He learned that one Of these
gentlemen had spent long years in devotion
to the cause of State Rights Democracy, and
that his valuable services had never been
requited. But better than his party servi-
,ces aad his political consistency, he was uni
versally represented to be ''honest, capable
and faithful" in every respect, and in the
highest degree. He alluded to Robert L.
Montague, of the county of Middlesex.-
For Mr. Montague he intended to cast his
vote and earnestly hoped that the Conven-
ton would unite with him in this choice :"
