Something which should be done.

Wade Hampton, Kemper, Goode, Blow,
Forrest and other Southern delegates made
speeches in New J ork which were received with
loud applause This fact suggests the im-
portance of having our best men On the stump
at the North in the approaching canvass. 1t
will do infinite good for SUCH laea as ne have
named and others Who have equal claims in our
respect to visit the North and let the people
see what manner of men we really are. The
Radicals paint us with horns, and a cloven hoof,
and barbed TAIL after the manner of the
picture drawn by the curate Bernaldez, and
many excellent people would be astonished a.
mong the Northern masses to see what we'll
shaped, and gifted white Americans pould be
sent among them from tpe South ~
By all means let our Central Committee take
this matter inte consideration and send some

Deaths.

In Staunton, or Monday, the 18th instant at
the residence of his father-in-law-Mr George
A. Armentrout-M GEORGE NJ. BAKER, in the
18th year of his age The subject of this notice
was a member of the Episcopal church, good
man, kind and gentle husband and parent, and
beloved by all who knew him. In the Fall of
1866, he removed to Waco, Texas, where he ex-
pected to reside, and remained there about eight
months His health failing him, he returned to
his relatives and friends in Staunton. He had
been confined to his room nearly ever since his
return and endured intense suffering from dys-
christian fortitude He leaves a wife, one small
child, and large circle of friends to mourn their
loss, which is his gain-his soul having taken its
everlasting flight from this world of sorrow and
affliction to that bright land where the wicked
cease from troubling and the weary are at rest

Speech of General Blair Accepting the
Nomination.

At the Democratic ratification meeting in
| New York on Friday night, General Blair, af-
ter the tumultuous applause which greeted him
had subsidized, said: Mr.. Chairman, I accept
the platform of resolutions passed by the late
Democratic Convention, and | accept their
nomination Igreat cheeringl with feelings of
profound gratitude; and, sir, thank you for
the very kind manner in which you have already
conveyed to me the decision of the Democratic
Convention. / accept the nomination with the
conviction that your nomination for the Presl-
dency is one which will carry us to certain
victory Applause, and because | believe that
the nomination is the most proper nomination
that could be made by the Democratic party.
Applause. The contest which we wage is for
the restoration of constitutional government
[cheers. and it is proper that We should make
this contest under the lead Of one who has given
his life to the maintenance OF constitutional
government. Applause. We are to make
the contest for the restoration of those great
principles of government which belong to our
race. Great applause. And, my fellow-citi-
zens, it is most proper that We should select for
our leader man not from military life, but one
who has devoted himself to civil pursuits; who
has given himself to the study and the under
standing OF the Constitution and its maintenance
with all the force of reason and Judgment. APP
plausc. My fellow-citizens, have said that
the contest before US was one for the restoration
of our Governmental is also one for the re-
storation of our race. Applause, long con-
tinued. 1t is to prevent the people of our race
from being exiled from their homes cheers,
exiled from the Government which they formed
and created for themselves and for their chill
dren, and to prevent them from being driven
out of the country or trodden under foot by an
inferior and semi barbarous race. Applause.
In this country we shall have the sympathy of
every man who is worthy to belong to the white
race. Applause. What civilized people on
earth would refuse to associate with themselves
in all the rights and honors and dignity of their
country such men as Lee and Johnston? What
civilized country on earth would fail 10 do honor
to those who, fighting for an erroneous cause,
yet distinguished themselves by gallantry in
that service? Applause. In the contest, for
which they are sought to be disfranchised and
to be exled from their homes-in that contest
they have proved themselves worthy to be our
peers. Applause. My fellow citizens, it is
not my purpose to make any long address
lcries Of Go on but simply to express
my gratitude for the great and distinguished
honor which has been conferred upon me-
A voice: ~ GU are worthy of it.
General Blair: And from my heart to re-
iterate the words of thanks that fell from my
lips when arose.
[Renewed cheering, during which General
Blair retired.
