been turned out only because he was Re-
adiuster. It is claimed that Mr.. Massey has
rendered distinguished services in the
State. SO has the Wing, OF which Major
r. f. Walker is a part. Il the Superintend-
ent of Public Printing is to be charged to
the Third district, why the Auditor OF
Public Accounts ought to be charged to the
Seventh. It bad been said that the Third
congressional district had done nothing,
because Richmond was the headquarters OF
the Funders. Few people contended wlth
such odds as the Readiusters OF the Third
district. They bad to contend with the
lawyers, preachers, churches, brokers, &c
every prominent man that could be brought
against them.

but in the canvass Mr.. Taylor was not
heard of rs a Readiuster. Major Walker

new could not always be depended upon.

taken. Adopted, but subsequently recon-
sidered.

been defeated, the Young Republicans be-
gan to acquieSce in the result. Norton, for
instance, said eve are bound to this
ship" and II we are cheated, he, for one,
"meant to stand By it." [Applause.l
A good rnany other Republicans followed
the example OF Norton, and, with more or
less violence to the English language, indi-
Gated their purpose to stand by the Read
iusters' nominations to the last-come veal,
come woe.
The nomination OF Mr.. Dyson for Sec
ond Auditor was made unanimous. [The
name of Mr.. Lewis L. Haryie was not

not their first choice, who was Mr.. Young. ]
