Isaac Hunter, known as the ''coored orator
ofVirginia," has recently made speech in the
city of New York, in the course Of which he
illustrated the inconsistency of the Radical
leaders, by saying:
The Weed Murphy faction thought it cruel
to have Grant die alone, so they selected anoth,,
or General to go with him. Gen. Dix said
many good things in his life, but the best one
was "Any man who hauls down the American
flag shoot him on the spot" The present
Grant candidate for Governor of South Caro-
lima was the first gentleman that committed the
act at the time Anderson surrendered at Fort
Sumter, and this is how the gentleman is shot "
This alusion was to the Moses ticketin South
Carolina, which has received the approval and
support Of the powers that be, and more con,
spicious illustration of their inslncerity could
hardly be given No wonder that the hit was
received, as we are told, with "cheers and
laughter"

Mr. GREELEY When Mr.. Greeley was
nominated for the Presidency by the Cincinnati
Convention, very many people were apprehen-
sive that grave mistake had been committed.
They knew that he was great journalist, but
feared he was wanting in some Of the requisites
ola statesman. The report that though man
of undoubted ability, his conduct was likely to
be governed too much by impulse and too little
by prudence and sober judgment, gained Gre
dence even among some of his friends, but
subsequent events have proven these impress
sions to have been groundless, and Nlr. u. has
shown himself not only eminently worthy of the
confidence of the people but possessing the
requisite qualifications, in high degree, for a
true statesman. His letters and speeches have
been admirable, eliciting the commentator Of
his friends and the surprise of his enemies.
Speaking of his speeches the Louisville Courier
says:-"lt is dangerous thing for Presi-
dental candidate to make political speeches,
for it is almost impossible to steer between the
Charybdis that threatens to wreck him on the
one hand and the Sylla which is ready to swal-
low him up on the other Mr. Greeley, in the
course of his visits to different parts of the
country, has found himself under the necessity
OF making good many speeches. and in not
one of them has he committed mistake or
been guilty Of an imprudence. Every one of
these short speeches, called out by the people of
the different parts of the country through which
he has travelled, is masterpiece. In every
one of them he has said just what be ought to
have said, nothing more, nothing less. Not
one of them but has made votes for the Liberal
cause. The burden of all his speeches is re-
Cancellation and peace. He never forgats that
He never forgets to impress it upon his audi
ences that all the sections of the Union are
equal, and to insist on the abrogation of every
thing like prescription. He argues that the
civil war having terminated more than seven
years ago, the Southern people are entitled to
recognition as citizens with every right of cti-
zenship; and in every one Of his speeches he
pleads the cause of nationality and fraternity.
Every one of them shows that his heart is
yearning for the. perfect reconciliation of the
sections. Every one of them is fervid pro-
test against the prescription Of any American
citizen 10 any American State.

Political AFFAIRS IN EIRG:NIA.-T well
Informed Richmond correspondent OF the
Petersburg Index writing about political affairs
in this State SAYS The Radicals Of the Sth
Congressional District have issued call for a
convention to be held at Alexandria on the
third of October, for the purpose OF nominal
ing a candidate for Congress against General
Eppa Hunton This course, it is understood,
will be very unsatisfactory to Col. Mosby, and
he is said to consider it as violation Of pledges
, made him. Mosby will oppose the nominee OF
the Radicals whoever he may be. For some
time, the Radicals supposed that Maj. Il. IL.
Carter of Fauuuier would run as an indepen-
dent candidate, but that gentleman, if he ever
seriously contemplated such thing was per-
suaded, not to do so by Mosby. 1t is not at
all unlikely that Mosby will split off from his
unnatural allies on this question, as he has
announced, all along, his hostility to any one
being put up by the Radicals, against Gen.
Huuton"
The same correspondent says - hear that
COL Popham will shortly withdraw from the
Congressional contest in the Fourth District,
and will become canvasser for the State at
large for the regular Grant Republican ticket.
The Radical State Committee have resolved
to do everything in their power to elect Stowell,
and for this purpose are making arrangements
to put all their available speakers in the field
to support him. The hostility of the extreme
Radicals to Porter, goes so far that they are
ready to sacrifice every man who gives him
countenauce or aid, and they are mad enough
with Senator Lewis for writing that letter en-
dorsing him..
4 letter from Rockingham county, Va, in
the Baltimore Sun says:-'The latest rumor
concerning the congressional campaign in this
(the seventy district is that W. S. Lurty, esq.
a prominent young lawyer at this bar, and
heretofore so straightout democrat that he
could not vote for Greeley, has declared for
Grant, and will receive the radical nomination
for Congress- There is but little doubt Of this
arrangement having been made, and some un-
easiness is expressed in conservative circles, as
there are now two conservative candidates IN
the field This will necessitate the withdrawal
of Col. O Ferrail it is thought, as 10 withdraw
ing the radical vote from him, it destroys his
chance of an election.
