A Good One.

Old Judge Barbour, of Virginia, after en-
joying the highest honors and retiring to pri-
vate life, was prevailed on to be a candidate
for local office. Fhc opposition tro,ted out
an illiteratc, rough and tumble politician Bill
Naples, against the old man. IN accordance
with the strict rules of conducting a political
campaign in those days, Governor Barbour
had to taGe the stump with Naples But
Naples could always beat him in his abusive
haranguos The final speech of the campaign
made by Naples was abusive beyond all pre-
cedent. The following is Barbour's reply,
which we think is the most complete thing in
its way that we ever read. Said the Cover
nor
Fellou .C,h@ens-When was young man
now nearly forty years ago, your grandfath-
ers sent me as their representative for four
term, to the House of Delegates, and Was
chosen Speaker Of that body. At a subse-
quent period was twice elected Governor Of
Virginia Afterwards and for ten years rep
resented this renowned Commonwealth in the
Senate Of the United States, where was the
confdante and perhaps I may say the peer of
Macon, King, Gaillard, pnckney, Van Bureu.
Mr.. John Quincy Adams subsequently confer
rcd upon me place in his cabinet aud for
three years shared his couuses in conjuuc-
ton with Clay, Writ and Mclean Was
then appointed envoy extraordinary and min
lister plenipotentiary to the court Of St James,
where it became my duty to conduct negotia-
tions with the conquoror Napoleon. Judge
then fellow-ctizens, of the ineaable disgust
feel, after such 4 career, aud in my declining
years, at finding myself here to-day engaged
in a low, pitiful county contest With such
-disagreeable little cuss as Bill Naples.
