To-day the gallant Trigg met rather
Abraham 10 what the Richmond WnY mas
heretofore set down as the strongnoid OF
Julyism. At half.past III O'Clock Judge
Bailey vaested the bench, and tue stanoard,
bearer OF Conservatism and Democracy anu
the slandard-bearer OF Mahonelsm ascendeu
the hastings. Trigg opened the pau oy
saying that he was again In Lee county 10

had failed to put In an appearance; anu
that he was here TO tell the Sehttnet mat ne

must be done by the other size. MI.
Trigg then with great force arraigned the
Republican psrty for its twenty years OF
misrule, fraud, and corruption, and appeal-
ed earnestly and eloquently to the Demo,
cratic party to unite and save the state ana
save the Union. He said since ne was 'as,
here Indiana and ohio had spokcn-had
ton, but that all was yet safe II VIZ
ginia stood firm, but that II virginia was
lost Hancock would be defeated and four
years more Of Republican misfule would De
entaiIed upon the country. He denied mat
the State debt bad anything TO DO with tnis
contest; said that a majority cf the Re-
adiuster party were Just as good and as true
Democrats as ever marked with their foot
prints the soil OF Virginia; but that design
ing men and recent converts to Resdinst-
ment like William Malone and John 5.
Wise were deceivine the people by the spe-
cious cry OF REIMBURSEMENT, and thereby
certainly leading them TO defeat and aiding
the Republicans TO carry the State. He gave
Fulkerson, Malone d. Co. such load to
carry as will weigh them down. helpless and
harmless, before the ides OF November are
past. Mr.. 1rigg was applauded loud, long,
and frequent.
Then came Fulkerson; and IL you or
your readers have ever heard Mahone
Julyer you know bis speech without having
il repeated. 1t was the same old song, so
oft repeated, Of Funder, Funder, Read
ulster, ReSdjuster. He was particularly
complimentary to Billy Malone. In fact, IL
those who heard him had not known better
thew would have thought from Fulkerson's
speech that Malone was the presidential
candidate instead OF the gallant Hancock.
The only reason given by him why any BODY
should vote the July ticket was that II that
ticket should cast the vote OF the State they
would get the patronage OF the Admins
tration. Is it not strange that these Ma
hOneites are all the time crying patronage,
patronage, spoils, sp0ils? Why, they are
more anxious about the spoils than they are
for the success OF Democracy.
The Richmond Whig-that "house that
Jack built Twill change its figures on Lee
county after the Cd day of November.
Mark that!
Trigg and Fulkerson have gone from here
TO Rose Hill, where they speak tomorrow,
aud next day at White Shoals.
Democratic stock is rising in the west,
and will continue to rise till the election is
over. May the good work 60 on until Nir'
ginia's electoral vote is added TO the Han
cock column, thereby securing the defeat
Of Radcaism and the triumph OF Demo-
cracy, A LOOKER'ON.
