The NdrtiRsbufy StatesmoR thus
speaks of Rev. j. X. Thompson,
President of our Uniyersity,in its re
port of the meeting addressed by him
at Martinsburg:-
Mr.. Thompson, after abiding to
the growing prospects of the Univers-
ity, and expressing his determination
to devote his unhagging energies to
its prosperity and advancement, pro
ceeded for more than an hour to de
light his audience by an address upon
the subject of oratory. He handled
the subject with great ability, illus
trating his views by reference to some
Of the most distinguished orators of
ancient and modern times, and re
lieving the solidity of its matter by
some very genuine strokes of wit and
humor. There were passages in his
address which excited much admIra-
ton; and altogether it may be regard
ed as one ofthe most pleasing and sue
cessful exhibitions Of literary taste
and intellectual power which we have
enjoyed in our city for some time.
Mr. Thompson is a gentleman Of
pleasing address, and of co,vteous
and agreeable manners; and whatev-
er prejudice may have existed against
him or the University, in this eommu-
nifty, has been entirely dissipated by
his frank and satisfactory explana-
tions. We cannot doubt that his Sc
lection for the position Of president
by the Board Of Regents was wise and
judicions; aud that the University
will, under his administration, soon
rank among the hourishing insttu-
tons Of our land.
