rrupEa, w1rHENs, aND DaMsl.


The very haepiest combination Of names
that could have been made Is here. KEMrEa
for Governor, WrHERs for Ltsutenant-Go
ernor, and DANIEL for Attorneys General.
This is a true Virginia ticket Of loyal, capa,
Bile, and faithful Virginians. The numbers
aud character Of the Convention when first
assembled augu,ed the best results, and the
conclusion of its lahors proves the correct
ness Of the bright promise. The assemblage
was worthy of Virginia, and the men they
have offered for the highest positions 10 tue t1
State are equal to the honors imposed upon
them
JAass L. KEEPER, of Madison, the nomi-
nee for Governor, is a man every way fitting
60 administer the affairs Of the State-a
lawyer Of high standing, a legislator Of long
experience, and a, politician educated in
times when principles were. discussed SO
deliberately and closely that no man Of ordi-
nary capacity who took part in public affairs
could fall to become familiar with the science
OF government. He has proved his title to
renown as q soldier, and socially he has
stood stainless among the proudest men OF
the day. His public devotion has been sig
naGzed bv his consistent labors for the public
GOOD in the council aud his intrepid bravery
in the public defence in the bloody field. In
his hands the State is safe. The people
know that in his ability and fidelity they
have the best assurance that their interests
will be thoroughly protected and wisely ad-
miniStered.
ROBERT Z. W1ruERs, Of Wythe, the nonli-
nee for acknowledgements Is one OF ma
ture's noblemen: True as steel and above
suspicion. He is the peer of his colleague
the candidate for Governor, and, like him,
won undying fame by his valor as soldier,
and like him fell covered with wounds from
which his recovery WIS considered almost
miraculous. He is IL gentleman OF me tal-
eDts. good speaker, Of habits OF Industry,
and administrative abilities. He will make
All excellent presiding officer of the Senate,
his quickness and selt-possession fitting him
admirably for the position. If elected-and
we cannot doubt that he will be-the people
will behold in him an eminently suitable
man for the office of Governor, to which he
will be eligible in certain contingencies.
Colonel WlrnEEs has the warm sympathy OF
the people, us has General kEMPER. Two
more genial and gallant companions in
struggle never lifted arm or voice i'll a
cause. II
Finally, RALEIGH T. DANIEL, presented
rs candidate for Acknowledgement, is just
the man for the place. He is lawyer,
genuine, devout, and thorough. BY SER
vice and capabiiity he is emnently en-.
titled TO public reward, and the whole
State with one accord will declare that
he is the very man for the office for
which lie is named. The State will never
suffer in standing by any papers or opinions
which r. T.:DANIEL may prepare-gO where
they may ia this or any other country. This
high public compliment paid MIR. DANIEL i'll
his advanced age has been long due to him,
and we may congratulate the State that it
bas at last been awarded to him. He will
ably represent the State, and remind us of
the Brighter days when she spoke in the jul
dcia tribunals through men of giant minds
and vast learning.
We could not possibly have had better
ticket. The whole State will be delighted
with it. 1t is strong, reliable, and every
way fitting. Elect il, and we shall see de-
cided check put upon the corrupting ten
dency of the times in Old Virginia, and we
all may feel that the State is safe: her in
1erests wisely directed and her honor and
dignity carefully preserved.
