JUSTICE TO Mr.. DYER WAYT.-Mr. Dy-
er Wayt the colored gentleman who an
nounced himself candidate for the legisla-
ture, few days since has called on us to COR
rect some errors which appeared in our no.
tice Of his first appearance. 1t appears that
Mr.. Wayt did not wear hickory shirt but a
very handsome calico one, cut bias in the
back, with a patent mazarine bombazine col

ing one Of them, with some difficulty, in front
of our counter. We had mistaken it for a
hand trunk, but it proved to be neat No.
Is. tits such mistakes as those that make
a man wish he had never gone into the news
paper business. Mr. Wayt's political plat
form is one of the best that will be used in
this campaign, being, as he states, founded
exclusively on the Bible, though its value
was somewhat modified by his adding that he
was "Rippublikan. Mr.. Wayt uses the
best English, as he informs us, and says that in
his address at the Court House he replied to
one Of the speakers with ''good currispond. :"
Since our interview with Mr.. Wayt, we are
panied to learn that some memorable official
stopped him from making an address on
the street corner. This looks like our fore
fathers had died in vain

killed bird, the color of a partridge, some
thing after the crane species, which stood feet

like hawk.

Lempriere, an English gentleman of intelll

$50 persons, though the audience would
have been mu,h larger, had his intention
been more generally known. He was in-
troduced by Hon. John B. Baldwin
With regard to the immigration from Eng
land, he said Virginia had peculiar attrac-
tons to Englishmen, in the climate and the
similarity of the people to those across the
waters and spoke generously of the hospitality
and social courtesy with which those alrea-
dy arrived have been received, a portion Of
his remarks that was endorsed by several
English gentlemen in the audience with ap-
plause. OF the price of lands, he said that
the rent of an acre in England for year
was about the price Of purchase Of the
same quantity here He alluded in kind
ly spirit to the necessity Of our people deal
ing fairly with the immigrants, and taking
no undue advantage of their ignorance of the
business or the habits of the country, as i'm
portant to our own honor as to the encour-
agement of immigration.
