The speeeh Of welcome through the President then
introduced TO the audience john NJ Speed, ESQ, OF
Lynchburg, a noble Wing. gaillnt gentleman ard an
able speaker Who for hour, unclaimed the at
tuton Of the vast audience with speech Astounding in
solid and eHsctve argument many passages OF whieh'
also being alive With genuine ecquence. We have heard
Mr. Speed on many occasions heretofore but his speech
evening before last vas, think, the abesi and he
happies We have bad the pleasure Of hearing IRON
himand judging BY the applause with which 1t was e
ceved the vast Of persons we're alike instruct
sd aad grad6ed We hope Mr.. Speed will be often heard

The next speaker introduced BY the President ives e1
Gov. John NJ NorehCad, Of North Carolina who, for
ssst an hour held the audience speboUnd by his ar
anents bis ecqueuce his wit and his happy hits We
of course shall make no attempt 70 give even an outline
Of his admirable spech Bor Of the efforts Of the other
speakers Suffice it to say that Gov. AOrehead made an
able speech aud produced splendid impression upon the
Richmond people.

T.; .bo made successful and splendid hit ryetiug he

daily congratulate him upon il. I vas received with
the most deafenBg applause from beginning to end lie

sedoes and excellent hits after which the Club adjourn
ed TO meet again last night hear speeches from those
able aud Distinguished gentlemen and eloquent orators,

Ia conclusion, We have only to say, that the Young
Mems Club House Dedication demonstration, evening
before last was decidedly the most successful aud bril-
liant ar il has ever been good fortune to witness
and We arc sure it will be remembered with pride
aud pleasure by the thousands who attended and par
eipated 10 IT, We omitted to mention that the thou
sands who we're unable 10 get into the Club House,
emored for speakers and elmer and others were de-
tailed % address them which they did we learn, TO
their entire satisfaction. Take il all in all we have
never seen such irrepressbe enthusiasm was mani
tested evening before last. Aud we can sssure.our
friends throughout the STATE and throughout the Unon
that their brethren in the Metropolis are fully and
thoroughly aroused-even glorOusy aroused than
in the pamy days Of 40 and a. Let all then, eve
ryWhere push along the ball. and carry the State for
Bel and Everett by not less than twenty thousand ma
jOrty All bail to the cheering signs Of the timesl
