REPUBLICAN SPEECH.-On Thursday night
last, the Excelsior Band of this place, rendered
a complimentary serenade to MIR. John W..
Poindexter the colored orator from Louisa
county, and elector for the Richmond dis
trict, who was on a visit to his relative Mr.. f.
B. Poindexter, of Staunton. A large number
of citizens, mostly colored, but including fair
proportion of white conservatives and Repub-
licans, assembled in front of tie Stutz building
on Augusta Street, to listen to the response OF
Mr. Poindexter. He spoke for about an hour,
and was listened to throughout with marked
attention and the utmost good order. His hap
Ply allusion to the recent election in Maine
and the unfortunate cannon salute given 10y the
Democrats of Staunton over what was claim
ed as a Democratic triumph, but what turned
out to be Republican success-a clean sweep
greatly enjoyed by the audience. Throughout
his remarks Mr.. Poindexter was courteous, re-
sorting to no epithets or partiZan denuncia-
tlon,-in this furnishing quite a contrast to the
Democratic speeches to which we have been
treated during this campaign. He is forclble
and graceful speaker, and considering his ad-
ntages,-having been slave, with no OPP
portunity of improvement except what he ac-
quired since emancipation-he is Il remarkable
young colored man. He is doing good work
in the canvass, and when he speakes is receiv
ed by all parties with the utmost respect. His
colored friends of Staunton were delighted
with the handsome display of talent OF one Of
their race, and the respectful attention given
him by number of Conservatives, who came
out to hear him. He spoke at Gordonsville
on Saturday and will keep actively in the field
until the close of the campaign.
