Iupou the great Sufferings that this people
have endured under Radical misEule were
peculiarly touching. II oil that he said
In relation 10 the matter were true, which
OF course II was not, there n slill one
greater political calamity that they
were saved from, by the Radicals, and
that was the Establishment OF
THE SOUTHERN ooNTEDERAcY. ~.
he dWelt al some length on the plum.
deriDgs Of our State treasury BY the Radi-
cals while they were In power, and they
received such caStgatlon OF his hands az
all such miscyeants should. And while
ON this subject he referred 10 the charges
Of more recent ravSges Of the treasury.
He neither affirmed or denied the charges,
but took the ground that II such were the
case, Gov. Jacob must be held responsible
for Il To carry out his idea Of the mat
ter, the Governor Is q guard with iull
power and authority 10 pOtect the tressu.
~, and II some thief eluded his WAtchlul
eye and got good haul from the treasury,
say from S800OO to $4,000, the Governor
must be held accountable and should
suffer the penalty Of the thiei. And what,
you ask, would he have done with the
ihieil think his notion 10 that, for
bis Adroitness he should be sent TO the
United States Senate or some Ike dis
honorable place, and there kept during
his natural life. s sod sE.lAl s-s''
Il seems to me II Is Q strange position
to take, 10 say that the offcer certifying
the correctness Of d printers bill, which
afterwards proves to have been exorbl-
tant, must be held accountable for the
oyercharge. tl5. 4.H.! gTgtyTf,I.,

GERS Of the State department must neces-
sarily have more or less printing done,
and when any one Of them orders certain
work done and 1t Is executed as ordered,
such officer can certify to- the correctness
Of the printers bill, Tor he knows that he
ordered the work sud That II was done %
ordered by him. But Is itlpossibleJ that
the law requires him to, be able TO certify
the number Of em's or tokens that were
in the jobS Such seems to have been the
opinion OF 1.-THE Court Id ia5. . ID
IS. WALKERS cAsBa .as -zsg
Agreeing that the opinion Of tho Court
was correct, to protect the treasury from
the Vaccinations OF the public printer, II
becomes necessary 10 have n practical
printer in every office Tor which work Is
done, by him. The. Governor, Auditor,
Clarks Of Senate and House oil Delegates
and all other offices must understand
printing terms and know how. to count
ems and tokens and estimate the cost
This Is legitimate conclusion II the de-
cision Of the court Is correct. II might
be considered oppressive by printers
to have. the various Offices Of the
State thrust upon them. Yet as
class we know they love their
county, and patriotism would forbid
their Sinking the responsibility-snd
besides we can well afford TO increase the
salaries, II they refuse 10 serve without

But to the days proceeding. After speech

and advocated the claims OF Hon. John
Hall for q seat in congress for about the
same length oi time, and then Walker
concluded with an hour speech admins.

GREAT RRJoIcrNGs IN THE CAMP.
After the speaking the Convention pro.
ceeded with its business, and upon the
frat ballot James Withrow was renomi-
mated for the House Of Delegates, which
| suppose is tantamount to an election.
Ia his election Walker will not receive
much consolation, for | understand he
puts but little faith in him as an honest
man, and during the last session did not
suffer himself to be made q tool Tor
