To the Editor Of the State Journal:
Among the names to be presented to the
state convention to be held in Lynchburg
for nomination, permit us to recommend
Colonel John S. Braxton, of Richmond
county, for acknowledgement.
The friends Of Colonel Braxton in thus
recommending him, desire not only to do
honor to whom honor is due, but are inn
PEELED by higher consideration, to serve
that party he has so ably and faithfully
served, in that section Of the state, which
with such high claims, has not been honored
with nomination to Office, of the charac-
ter to which he is recommended.
Of Colonel Braxton, we can say when
the smoke Of the late conflict had passed
off he hesitated not in pointing out the
true policy for his section and to pursue
the line he recommended without variable
ness or shadow of turning. If, in standing
with few of the white population of his
section, amidst the storm Of opposition
and vituperation, hurled upon him by his
former friends and associates, advising
those whose cause he had espoused, and
by his influence allaying prejudices be-
tween those who should be friends, consti-
tute service. he has claims upon the suf-
frages of all true Virglnians.
