Mr.. James Alexander, of Albemarle,
read from series of resolutions adopted
at township meeting in that county, APP
applauding the conduct of Hon. John L.
Harris in the Petersburg affair Gin de-
fence of Justice and Truth,'' and recon-
mending him to the people as can able de-

much applause.
THE NOMINATION.
Col. M. G.. Ha1man, of Staunton, then
put in nomination Hon. John T. Harris,
Of Rockingham.

time.7 (Applause.) AS far as his, the

who arose and said he had no speech to
make. 1t was very clear that Mr. Harris
was the choice of the Convention, and he
had nothing to say except this-which it
was due to candor and honesty that he
should say-that MI. Harris was not his
choice. applause and cheers.) AS no
other name was presented to the Conven-
