Can IL be True9

We clip the follOSing from a sannch supporter of
Judge Douglas published almost at his very home and
therefore it comes with something like authority but
want either the official confirmation or else denial by
authority
"Prior to the Baltimore Convention Mr. Breckenridge
assured the friends of Mr. Douglas in the most positive
terms that he would take the stump for that gentleman
in every Northwestern State, should he be nominated"

Gov. Letcher for DougIas!

In his speech evening before last Governor FOOte an
nOunced upon authority that Gov Letcher had declared
in favor of Douglas and would cordially support his cleo
lion This announcement greeted by the friends OF
Douglas with hearty and prolonged applause 1t is an
announcement too, which will carry terror and dismay
into the ranks of the Brecknrdgers throughout
the State and throughout the Union The fact that
Letcher is in favor of Douglas will be worth, perhaps,
ten or fifteen thousand votes to the Little Giant" here

A CORN rxopANGE.

To the Editor ofhe Wig:
The thanks of the merchants of Richmond are due
to the good citizen who, to-day, through the medium
of the Dispatch newspaper calls their attention 70 the
subject off, Corn Exchange"
To say that Richmond does not feel the want oil such
AN institution would be a reflection upon the intelligence
of her citizens.
That nothing has been done in the matter can only be
accounted for by the supposidon that the attention Oh
the people generally has not been properly directed 70
the subject am quite sensible Of the dlhcues "hich
impede progress in any thing and know what srug
giles there must Away be, to subdue the cry oil the
s'Croakers"-"we have done very well oil along
beg leave most respectfully to remind that most useful
and conservative body Of men, sometimes called oa TO-
pies that the world does not stand STILL though ap
pears so to them and that travel fast as they may In
an antiquated stick gig, the modern locomotive VIII as
suredy leave them behind.
Increasing trade and commerce demand and will have
increased facilities for their accommodation and what
may be most expeden and proper to-day becomes mex
Incident and inadequate tomorrow The many adYanta-
ges flowing from Exchanges are obvious TO every one
who is at all familiar with their operations, and am sure
that they only opposed TO them who do not rightly
understand them.
They abrdge labor and economic time by concentra.
ting trade at given place and at given hour they
promote competition by bringing buyers and sellers to-
gether zen masse and they furnish 70 the public vast
amount of statistical information in the registration OF
daily supply consumption and prices current The hrsi
of these advantages must be acknowledged as most i'm
porant by every seller of breadus in the city and the
last by every merchant and planter in the State ALI the
labor annoyance, and vexaton incident to the present
system of buying and selling produce in the Richmond
market may be avoided by the establishment OF Corn
Exchange"
Petersburg and Norfolk have each Exchange in
cessfu operation and believe there is not commercial
city in the Union, numbering many Inhabitants as
Richmond, without But It's not my object to en-
large upon this theme and set forth all the reasons which
seem 70 demand a move in this matter.
The suggestion OF the writer in the Dispatch relative
to the location of the Exchange seems to me to be well
timed and judcous aud that will recommend itself
to the favorable consideration Of all those interested in
the subject All these questions however may best be
discussed and determined in general meeting OF the
merchants Of the city. hope the Board OF Trade will
take the matter into consideration and call meeting
of the merchants without delay. y.
