To the editor of the Alerandria Gazette:
Your correspondent, 20" seems to think it
very remarkable that Col. Mosby and myself
are both in favor OF Grant over Greeley for
President, but expresses no surprise at the much
more wonderful exh btion Of almost the entire
Democratic party rallying to the support Of its
lifelong enemy and that without his reeantng
a single u.terance he ever made in regard to
that party. Another remarkable thing which
'Q' has failed to mention is, how quick and how
low any heretofore honored and trusted South
ern leader falls if he hestates to take the Gree
ley dose or ca presses an independent opinion
account fellow is Mosby now? What IAN i'm
practicable old foor' is Wise and so of Lyons,
Gimer, &c. sc.
If ''Q' will keep his eyes open and look
around, he will see many more wonderful
things than Col. Mosby and myself voting the
same ticket and can crafty his taste for con-
trastS to any extent.
1t is matter ofvery small public consequence
whom vote for, or the reasons for my vote,
but presume they are quite different from those
influencing Col. Mosby, which are, rs under
stand him, upon the lesser evir' principle,
while go for what think the greater good.
Respectfully, JOB HAwXHUKsT

by frequent applause and cheers for Greeley.
Mr.. Belmont nominated for Chairman Thos.
Jefferson Randolph, of Virginia. The pemina-
ton was received with great applause, and The
band played Dixie" ...J- 49,. -. j
Mr.. Randolph upon assuming the chair said !:
[ am aware that the very great honoreonferred
only BY this tody is due to no personal merltVt
my own, but is a token Of respect to the State
from which came, and recognition of other
circumstances possibly adventurous. am per
ha,s The oldest member OF this convention, and
life of eighty years spent In the Democratic
Republican party constitutes me senior n1en-
Der | remember freshly every presidential
contest from the first election OF Jefferson to
the present time, and can say with truth that
| remember none which involved higher ques-
tions Of personal liberty, local selfgosernment,
honest administration and constitutional free
dom than the present and one which demanded
of our party and our people calmer or more
earnest recourse to prudential principles: 1t
strikes ME as the duty of this hour and OF this
body to wrest the government from the hands
of it's despotic aud corrupt holders and to
place it in honest hands to restore to the citizen
everywhere the proud consciousness OF personal
right and to see that the states be granted per
tect integrity Of local self. government. Ibis
with the recognition Of the supremacy OF the
civil constitution and the laws in my judgment
discharge all our present duty.
Rev. Henry Slicer then offered up prayer.
A resolution Of thanks to Mr.. Belmont was
introduced but ruled out Of order
The States were then called and the crcdcn-
tials of the delegates presented.

LITERARY ENTERTAINMENT, LAST EVENING.
Last evening, the Annual Exhibition Of the
Irving Literary Society was held in Masonic
Hall, which was filled to overlooking with an ap-
preciatiye audience A week ago last night was
the exhibition of the Amarantbine Literary Soci-
y,and the following evening that Of the Junior
Irving. Those two societies, as well as the
Irving, itself, are composed Of the students and
ex-students of Taylor Il Jackson's Academy
All OF the exhibitions have been OF a literary
character much higher than is usual for such
young performers, and that Of last evening
would have been creditable 10 persons making
far more pretenslons.
The programme was opened with an interest
ing and graceful address by @. A. Marshall.
O. ]. Hibberds defamation was excellently rem
dered and, in common with almost the entire
entertainment held the audience in close atten-
ton. The three dialogues. Goals OF Fire,
More Free than Welcome aud Joseph in
Egypt, were all well done, and though the last
failed, perhaps. to excite much interest as
other parts Of the programme. 1t certainly was
not the fault of the rendition. Thos Willets
as Phil O'Hara, @. + Quinby as "SnOozle,
and I. s Davis as the ''lutruder,' were particu-
larry good in their respective parts j.. B. Mode :
essay on - Crime and a few OF its Remedies,
treated we'll and nationally a subject which
should receive careful thought and considera-
ton from every one, being Intimately connected
with the future prosperity or adverHlty of our
country. The Reading by William Gordon of a
familiar selection from Bleak House the Death
OF Little Joe" was beau'iiul and pathetic and
was excellently done. Atwood WINS essay on
Little Things" was well worth listening to- but
the reader lAbored under The disadvantage Of not
being able to fill the hall with his voice The
stump speech by 4. S Davis, called what is it,
was funny, and was thoi ouglhy appreciated by
the audience
The remark is due to the Irving that it, enter
tainments are in high degree literary in their
character, and do not depend for their interest
and success on other features.
