high personal regard for the various gentlemen
whose pames have been thus for mentioned IN
connection with the next House OF Delegates,

fed with the material interests CT our people.
Second. lie is a young man OF intelligence and
character, and 10 every particular, comes epuai-

TO the Legislature it will be necessary iJr hun
TO remain there more than one term before he
can be Of any service 10 his constituency
whereas consider Mr.. Hunters acquaintance
with the members, and his general knowledge
OF the ropes, as equivalent to m actual eypar'
leuce Of several sessions. UEing to the pre-
emf status OF the Stale G0anccS, the next srs-
sion of the Legislature, which will, III all prob
ability, be called upon to deal declsIrcIy with
that important question, will be Que of the
most important sessions ever held, aoI Alr.
