Editors Richmond DlSpdtCh:
TX request Of number OF influen-
tigI citizens OF Bedford, Major John w.
Daniel addressed the people OF the county
on the Uses and Abuses Of PapcrMoney."
For nearly two hours he held the attention
oi 4 larre audience, and the writer can truly
saw thai he never listened to q speech in
which the people took deeper interest.
Major Daniel traced the existence OF money
from lis use among the primitive nations to
The time when the Lombard Jews made
paper represent gold and silver, and by
haupv illustrations demonstrated the fact
that credi. is the basis of all money, and
that the State Or nation must preserve
lis credit as man would preserve his
honor in order to be prosperous; that
honesty IS not only the best policy,
but that it is the only policy. In
this connection he cited the example OF
a good and chivalrous knight, and related
how the BedouinS Of Arabia, so deeply i'm
pressed by his integrity when be lived with
them as British officer, extended that inn
preston 10 the whole English nation, and
frequently, when they wished to plight their
faith, instead OF swearing by Allah they
would swear by the honor OF IN English
man TO make their promises true. In accord
ancc fully with Hon. John r. Tucker be
confined himself TO so much Of the reSoll-
tons adopted by the Lynchburg meeting as
met with that gentlcman's approval, en-
pressed at the late Congressional Convention
OF this district, and he stated explicitly that
he would heartily support Mr.. Tucker, in
the coming contest. Major Daniel did not
reply to Mr.. Patteson. nor did Mr.. fuckers
or Major Daniels friends expect him to dc
50, from the fact that Mr.. Patteson had
publicly stated his determination TO meet
10 one in debate except Mr.. Tucker.
We had plenty of good speakers, able to
cope with AR. Patteson and anxious to do
so. Either John Thurman, l.. A. Sale,
Samuel Griffin, or W. w. Berry would have
responded, but it would have been an act OF
dscourtcsy, and certainly Captain PatteSon,
though he has failed to carry the people in
his cause, has made them feel that he is the
type OF a Virginia gentleman, and as such
entitled to their esteem. Your correspond.
cnt believes that Tucker will carry Bedford
BY twelve or fifteen hundred majority
which is the usual Conservative majority OF
the county. Captain Wbitehead's friends
are Conservatives true to the cause, as the
Captain was TO the Confederacy, and they
know that no personal consideration would
influence him in this contest; that when he
saws he will vote fey Tucker. he wishes his
friends to do the same. AS to Major Daniel,
ii has been said often heretofore, when his
friends urged him for public position and
trust, that they had ruined him. Certainly
lie will not get anything from his enemies
But il his friends have ruined him they vii
rave Tucker, and this fact is worthy OF some
consideration. BEDFORD.
