Rockingham.

The man who happened to be in Staunton
on the 18th Monday of August" and signs
himself Buckingham in the Rockingham
Register, gives anything but candid and
in fact very unfair account of our meet
ing here. He has misrepresented (wheth-
er Intentionally or Internationally, we don't
pretend to say,) throughout, the spirit
which prevailed in that meeting. No gen.
tlemen went SO far as to say "that if Har-
ris got the nomination they would not sup
port him." Mr.. Harris, as far as was
indicated in that meeting.is not ''partieular-
y obnoxious to some of those gentlemen. !"
1t is true that most of the speakers prefer
red Augusta men, as was natural it is also
true that when Capt. Hill announced that
Mr.. Harris would run as an Independent
candidate against the nominee Of the Con-
vention, much indignation was expressed,
and we do not hesitate to say that in such
contingency we would not only denounce
him throughout the canvass as traitor to
his party, but we would never cease to re-
gard him as such were he even elected. -
But we never have and never will believe
that John I. Harris will ever run against
the nominee Of fairly organized conven-
ton.

AMus1Na.-A writer to the Virginia Sen
tinel says: 1T is amusing to witness the
assumed confidence Of some of the mem
bers Of the late Know Nothing Convention
in Richmond. If the same old coon was
not seen, it might be supposed they were
really in earnest about running close
enough to John Letcher to keep him in
sight. I recollect one of the members of
the Convention telling me three years ago,
that Flournoy would beat Wise 80, 900
votes!!'

we are Tree 10 confess t0aC CQe marvel
GUS amount of Buncombe talked by the op-
position, and the great quantity Of spurious
enthusiasm which had been gotten up
about Mr.. Goggin, had somewhat imposed
upon us, and had generated some misgiv-
ings in our mind about the discussions
which were to take place between orr can
didate and Goggin. In fact, we really md
truly believe that Mr.. Gogg;n himself has
been imposed upon by the enthusiastic ex-
pressions Of the opposition press, in regard
to MS oratory and powers of debate, and
had begun to think ae really was right
sharp fellow, which idea has impelled him
to enter into these discussions, in which,
We say it candidly and sincerely-he has
already received complete drubbing.
We were greatly disappointed in Mr..
Goggin's effort. We don't suppose his
own friends will now contend that be is
anything of an orator, and he certainly has
no pretensions as political stumper. His
speech was compound of no argument,
bold assertions, wholly without foundation,
and susceptible Of contradiction and refu-
tation Old the spot; some wit which very
often degenerated into something very like
clownishness, and budget of anecdotes,
some well applied, and some without any
application whatever, and which seem to
have been thrown in to fill cbinks in the
orators speech. His manner is unprepos-
sessing. although we confess it indicates
honesty; his language awkward and elam-
81, and sometimes ungrammatical, and his
attempts at eloquence ridiculous
In fact, the only effect which the speech
hal was to dispel the illusion as to Goggin's
oratorical powers, and to make the people
laugh. Mr. Goggin seemed to notice and
to be somewhat hurt at this latter demon
stration, (although we don't see how he
could expect anything else), for he remark
ed that he had not come there to amuse
the people. In spite of this, the people did
laugh, and we predict that shouts of laugh
ter will follow the a0ag throughout Virgin
la. -
On the other hand, Mr. Letcher's speech
was dignifed, telling and argumentative
effort, and we could see from the counte-
nances Of the crowd, and the remarks Of
Wings in our hearing, had its effect. The
best sign that Mr.. Goggin got the worst of
the discussion, even in the opinion of his
friends, was the abatement towards the lat
ter part Of the discussion, Of the premedi-
tated enthusiastic cheering which greeted
him with thunders Of applause at his first
appearance.
We have not space for any further re-
marks this week, but may revert to it again.
We tell the democracy to be Of good cheer;
all this ado about Goggin swallowing Letch-
er is sheer humbug. Our candidate is Cog
gins superior by nature and cultivation. in
everything which constitutes man and
politician
N. BY the by, are those many wings
and know nothings who came over from
Albemarle and Rockingham too see Letcher
swallowed, satisfied with the operation
