we listened to very stirring address from
our old townsman, w. I. Early, which was
often applauded and we trust the good inn
pressions made upon the minds of his hear
ers will be lasting. Our old friend, James
Wayland, also threw off the disguise, and
spoke like man. Short and pointed speech
es were also made by several other gentle
men, all of which showed our cause in the
fall election to be uppermost in their hearts,
Old Albemarle will acquit herself well il
the next election.

PROFESSOR LANGsrON's SPEECH.

We print to-day The splendid speech of
John NJ. Langston, professor of law in
Howard University, delivered at the ma
tional jubilee in Washington. 1t is fine
specimen Of cogent reasoning and forensic
eloquence. Professor Langston is one Of
the ablest and most brilliant orators in the
country. We knew him in early life,
when, under adverse circumstances, he was
struggling for an education. He was a
hard student, and by severe study attained
the discipline which now makes him one of
the most prominent and useful citizens,
worthier of higher place than he has yet
attained, but which, as he SO fully deserves,
he can hardly fail to win in good time.
We commend the speech to all our readers.
