Rocky MOUNT. VA, Oct. Z, 1871.
TO tn. Editor Of the State Journal
AT a meeting of the Republicans of
Franklin county, held at Rocky Mount on
the Cd of October, for the purpose of
selecting candidate for the Ninth Sena-
torial district of Virginia, composed of the
counties of Henry and Franklin, on motion
G.. Pollad was called to the chair and Jas.
G. Saunders chosen secretary.
On motion nine delegates were chosen to
meet the delegates from Henry. The dele
gates having retired for consultation, the
meeting was addressed by DR.. Butler,
who cogently set forth the great truths
enunciated by the National party Of the
country.
The delegates having returned, declared,
through their secretary, that Thomas b.
Claiborne, of Franklin, was unanimously
chosen as the Republican candidate.
Mr.. c., in accepting the nomination, ex-
pressed his high appreciation OF the honor
which had been conferred upon him, clearly
demonstrated the fact that the legislation OF
the Conservative party of Virginia was
detrimental to the interest OF the State,
and expressed his determination to battle
for principles of truth and justice.
The meeting, after having Endorsed Jos.
Pelter and Silas q. Bernard, who had pre-
viously declared themselves as independent
candidates for the House of Delegates, adj
journed.
The people of this county, if l mistake
not, are determined to select different
class of material to represent them in the
next Legislature of Virginia.

NEVER was the supreme eloquence OF
silence more strikingly impressive than in
the Democratic journals of this morning.
The news from Pennsylvania and Ohio is
so stunning to expectant Democrats, that
language fails them in their despair, espe-
cially when they reflect that notification of
the vote by adrot counting, or destruction
of ballot-boxes, is not accomplished except
in New York; with such facility and i'm
punity as in Richmond. The Dispatch at
tempts to ''extract sunbeams from cucum-
bers," in its brief mention of the defeat of
its party in the two great States which have
held elections this week.
"Taken altogether the results should not
cause the good men Of the country to de-
spond. II the Democrats had carried Ohio
and Pennsylvania this fall, they would pos
sibly have been too careless in selecting next
year candidate for the Presidency. As it
is, they will look well to the antecedents of
aspirants for that high office"
If the Democrats had carried Ohio and
Pennsylvania this fall, we apprehend the
Dispatch would not have allowed such fears
to interfere with its rejoicings, but at once
proceeded to construct a political pyramid
Democratic), of which these two States
would have formed the foundation, Virginia
the apex.
But what does the suggestion mean that
the lesson of defeat is that in 1872 the an
tecedents of aspirants for the empty honor
of Democratic nomination for Presidency
must be well looked into ? Is it that the
defeated candidates in Ohio and Pennsylya-
mia were not marvellous proper men, or
were they not willing to wear the disguise
of Conservatism, which the Democrats in
Virginia have found so successful for con-
cealment of their real principles ?
The true lesson taught by these elections
seems to have escaped the notice of the
Dispatch and its Democratic contempora-
ries and that is, that the great heart of
the loyal people is true to the principles for
the success Of which such sacrifices have
been made since 1861. They see in cor
ruption at New York, and Ku-Kluxism at
the South, the cloyen hoof of that old De-
mocracy, which has cursed us in the past.
and they will have nothing to do with it,
no matter under what alias it may pre-
sent itself.
If the Dispatch will advocate reform in
stead of disguise in the party for which i
speaks, it will perform a noble duty, and
that duty performed will bring an enduring
reward.
