EDANNEP.1SSetween Judge Fultz, the
ffsadical candidate for Attorney Gen.
eral and Col. r. B. Berkely of Prince
Edward bounty.
NJ r. Watkins James introduced Judge
FnltE, who spoke for an hour. When
we say that it was tedious and a
laborious effort an effort unworthy of
a ma n aspiring to the position of At
torne by General of this grand old Com
mon wealth, we but speak the sentiment
of all who heard him. We knew the
weakness of the Radical cause, but we
must confess that we were utterly sur
prise to hear from a man of Judge
Fultk's reputation, arguments SO week
and fallacious and with all so i'm
prud ent.
Ju dye Fultz commenced by saying
that the existence Of State Government
was at stake in the canvass now impen-
ding The so called Conservative party
is eeking to overthrow this Govern
ment and is in deadly antagonism with
the I Federal Government. 1t was un-
worthy thesupport of the people ofVir
ginia By perjury it had induced the
Fedora Government to believe that it
was reconstructed, and notwithstanding
the o ths it had taken and the promises
it had made, they had kept but two of
them : the election of Jno F. Lewis to
the S nate Of the United States, and
Geo. Rye to.the treasuryship ofthe State
OF Vii ginia.
lie here took occasion to assail Gov.
Walker, the Chief Executive of the
State, for engaging in this canvass Ga
voice from the audience, he was invited,
we did not invite you. Judge Fultz
then ;sssailed the Conservative party for
inang urating the caucus system in the
Legislature. He dwelt at length on the
funding bill and said the Legislature of
the c Conservative party was responsible
for tn is odious measure. Bribery and
CORFU tion was unknown in our Legisla-
ture u NTH Gov. Walker was put in the
Execu tive Mansion.
He saidst the Conservative ticket was
railr Dad ticket, controlled by Gen.
Malone, and their whole aim was to
advanc e the interest of Railroads. He
then / aid the Conservative ticket was
war ticket and if elected we would
have another rebellion. (Laughter) JEFF
Davis the sarch traitar was the en-
ponen / Of the Conservative party of
Virginia. But short time ago he,
Davis, had declared that the South was
cheate d not conquered. Who cheated
the So uth' This cruel fling Of jeff
Davis was feveied at Gen. Lee He,
Fultz; knew Of no one who was cheated
but Je # Davis, and he was only cheated
by not getting bis dues-the clemency
of the Government sparing his neck.
Elect Sen. Ksmper and he will 60 to
conscrfpting at :. Richmond and with
Jeff. Davis at the head we would have
anothe rebellion. He then declared
that the Conservative party was a
no nothing party. The cry was Vir-
ginia fpr Virginians, And if the Con
servative ticket was elected all persons
who W ere not to the manner born
would be ostracised and he advised them
70 leave the State or they would be
kicked out. Judge Fultz took his seat
amidst chser from one man, which
excited much laughter from the au-
dience.
Col Berkeley Of Prince Edward was
then introduced. He was greeted by
cheer after cheer such as we have not
heard since the war. He spoke for
an hour and half aud so terrible was
the ridicule which be hcaped upon poor
Fultz and 50 completely did he over-s
throw every argument advanced by
