Gen. w. HI. Hartman.

We find the following just tribute to Gen.
W. H. Hartman, Of this place, in the Rich
mond lnder of 28th. No gentleman in this
portion of Virginia enjoys larger share of
the confidence of the masses Of the Demo-
cratic party than does Gen. H., and which
will be more successfully exerted in behalf
Of the cause he has espoused. His position
previous to the meeting of the Charlottes-
vile and Staunton Conventions was neither
for Breckenridge or Douglas. He is free
therefore from any suspicion of individual
partisanship, and has only assumed his po-
sition after careful review of the entire
field which lies before us and a thorough con-
viction Of the justice and right and the De-
mocracy of those who support Douglas and
johnson. 1t is exceedingly gratifying to
the numerous friends of Gen. Hartman, who
from the first have been battling for the
regular nominees at Baltimore, to have him
unite his efforts with them in contest Of SO
much Importance, whose results are to have
lasting and permanent influence upon the
destinies Of parties and the country for all
time to come-a contest as momentous as
that won by Jefferson over Adams in 1900,
by which the Democratic party that we are
now seeking to preserve, was established.
GEN WILLIAM IL HARTMAN OF AUGUSTA.
This sterling Democrat, able speaker, and
popular gentleman, was appointed elector
for the Augusta district by the State Con-
vention, which assembled in Richmond in
February last The Breckenridge men at
Charlottesville were anxious to have him on
their ticket, but he happened to be not one
of them. The Staunton Convention tender
ed him the post of District Elector, and also
that Of Elector at large; both of which he
declined for reasons entirely satisfactory to
his friends. He is, however. warm sup.
porter of the Douglas and johnson ticket,
and will do much for it in the Valley of Vir.
ginia. In the Staunton Convention he made
brief speech, in which he presented the
strong points of the canvass in few words
As an efficient canvasser, be has scarcely 8
superior in the State.

Bolts again ON the stand.

On Saturday night last. after the adjourn
ment of the Breckenridge and Lane club,
Turner'S Band serenaded Mr.. Bolts at the
Virginia Hotel. to which compliment Mr. B.
responded in speech of half an hour.
We wish the speech had heen reported.
It would have been the very best document in
the canvass against Bell and Everett. Mr..
Bolts commenced by saying that se!f-re-
spect would not permit him to take the
stump for Bell and Everett. (what did he
mean by that y but that he would give
them his vote. With this brief mention Of
Bell and Everett he pitched into the Dem
ocracy, and especially into those Democrats
who advocate a dissolution of the Union in
case Lincoln is elected. lie said the argu-
ments they use were cowardly, that to leave
the Union would be cowardice in the ex-
IRENE. He said the Union would not, aud
could not, under any possible circumstances
be dissolved-that men had as we'll talk of
plucking the sun, moon and stars from their
spheres as to talk about dissolvlng this
Union. If Lincoln is elected it would be
no worse than Democratic rule and, it mil ht
be better-that he would derive much sat-
isfactl,,n from Liucoin's election for two rea-
sons; FIRST, by seeing the Democracy beaten
and secondly, in seeing the South backed
down in its talk of disunion and here Mr..
Bolts grew so wrathful in denounciug the
Democracy that he forgot the Union senti-
ments he started out with, and declared if
the Union was to be preserved under DEM
ocratic rule, "for myself" says Mr.. B. "let
the Union slide p
In order that the public may know where
Bolts feelings are. we need only add, that
throughout his whole speech not one word
fell from his lips against Abe Lincoln as
the candidate Of the Black Republican par
ty. Bolts lis looking for place in Abe's
cabinet. evidently.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA,
August 22d, 1860.
Benjamin Crawford,
N. G. Human,
Gentlemen Yonr letter of the Goth in
slant, desiring to know the position | intend
to take in the Presidential contest, has been
received, and avail myself of the earliest
moment to reply.
l have purposely avoided committing my
self to the support Of either Breckenridge or
Douglas, in the hope that compromise
would be agreed upon by the two Convcn-
tons recently held in our State that would
be honorable and mutually satisfactory to
both wings Of the Democratic party. All
hope Of an adjustment having now failed,
have no hesitation in declaring that my sup
port will be given to Douglas aud johnson.
The division that has occurred in the
Democratic party could have been, and
think, ought to have been, avoided There
was no more necessity for rupture in
1860, than there was in 1856. The divi-
sion has, however, taken place. The breach
is widening daily, aid it is useless now to
enquire into the causes which have produ-
ced these deplorable results. Such discus
sion will not restore union and harmony, but
will, Of necessity, add to present embarrass-
ments, and will only tend to make certain
the election of sectional candidate to the
Presidency, whose success all patriots must
dep1ore.
I sincerely hope, therefore, that the dis
cussions which seem now unavoidable be-
tween the friends of Breckenridge and Doug
las, will be marked by prudence and mode
ration. and after this struggle has been en-
ded, spirit of Cancellation and compromise
will restore union and harmony in our par
ty. Respectfully,
Your obedicnt serv't,

Mr.. breckenridge, the secession candidate
for the Presidency, is about to take the stump
in Kentucky. He speaks in the vicinity of
Lexington on the 5th of Sept Hereafter
let the Breckenridge papers stop their nou-

candidate. The reason why Breck has not
