This is poetica work of superior genius,
sparkling on every page with the keenest satire.
The versificaton IS precisely that of Butler HUI
dIbras, and the plan IS the same. 1t will carry
everywhere with its circulation the utter infamy
of aboihnnism and its prnci pal authors and pro-
motors. The character of old john Brown Is por-
trayed in terrible coors but characters than
his are delineated. The book merits an extended

in which you PROFOUND several inquiries. has been
received.
My father. at the time of his election was resi-
dent in the Sixth Judicial Circuit.
In January preceding the election he removed
from the town of Manchester to the county Of
Henrico. as his former Circuit lin which Henrico
was included) had been cut into several. he
would have preferred fixing his residence in the
city of Richmond, had he not thought that such a
residence would have rendered HIM constitution
ally ineligible l am, sir,
Your obedlent servant,

CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

The proceedings of the Congressional Conven-
ton will be founi in this issue of the DEMOCRAT.
We have delayed our publication few hours in or
der to ascertain whether Hon c. w. CArHcARr
would accept the nomination so heartily and unan-
imously rendered him.
The crowd IN attendance was not large, though
larger than We anticipated, owing to the busy sea
son. Nearly all the counties were represented,
and the very best of feeling pcrvaded.
The nomination of Mr.. CATHCARr inspired the
entire crowd with zeal and enthusiasm, and with a
hope of success. In times gone by he has over
come as large majority as the Republicans now
have in this district and defeated man OF gres t.
er ability and one more popular than SCHUYLER
CoLFAI. II the proper exertion is made-and we
firmly believe it will be-the "boody ninth" will
be redeemed from the reign of Black Republican
ism-the large majority will be overcome and
SCHUYLER COLLAR will be permitted to stay at
home. where he will crest from his labors -
peddng garden seeds, I" frankng" Republican
documents and Patent Office Reports to his friends
Mr.. Cathcart had stated to several of his friends
that he did not want nor would not accept the nom
nation, yet he was, with the fear that he would
decline, nominated by reclamation amidst the
greatest enthusiasm. The committee appointed to
wait on him, arrived at his residence last night az
about ii O'Clock, part came from Valparaiso
and part from Laperte. All in all, there was
about 100. The, first built a bonfire in front of
his house. IN the road, and when it was in full blast
blazing some twenty feet in the air, the procession,
headed by two bands, marched up to his house, ST.
lently. His slumbers were broken by the bands
playing patriotic air in most spirited manner.
tie soon made his appearance, thinking that some
Of his friends who were passing BY had stopped to
give him q serenadc. When informed of their
business, he urged many excuses why he should
decline the nomination, prominent among which
was, his poor health, which would not permit him
TO make thorough canvass of the District
Finally, after seeing old friends from almost eve-
ry county in the District, who urged upon him the
necessity of his accepting the nomination he con-
scented, and then he received three as rousing
cheers as ever any man did from a crowd of the
same size After making few remarks, and be-
ing assured by all present thai he would receive
their most energetic assistance, the crowd dis
persed with numerous rounds Of cheers for the
Democracy and the nominee of the Ninth for
Congress.
We have not seen nor heard OF single Demo
crat who is not only satisfied, but say he is
the man. and their frs. choice, and that they
will do all in their power to secure his election.
Three cheers for Hon. C. w. Cathcart He has
ri hiatt has
them most gloriously and triumphanty, and he
will do it again. With a hope of success, let us
double our diligence.
