'.Resurgam'-I shall rise again-for as
sure as truth is truth and God is true these
principles must live.
At the conclusion of his speech Mr.. AL
len was greeted with deafening applause,
and as Mr.. Paul arose for his rejoinder
large portion OF the audience commenced
moving towards the door. Mr.. White
stepped to the front of the stage and made
an earnest appeal to the audience to ac-
cord to Mr.. Paul p oper courtesy, as it
had been agreed beforehand that ha should
reply. Iu few moments the whole au-
dience Was again seated and Mr.. Paul
commenced his rejOnder.
He said he thanked Mr.. White for his
appeal. but he thought it unnecessary. as
the Staunton people would be the last to
show him discourtesy.
1t his distinguished opponent was thrown
so early on the defensive, in Gods name
where would he be by the time he has got
ten through. Let lin look at his own REG
ord! Elected by the Readjuster party of this
Commonwealth as Speaker of the House,
he now tries to stab to the heart the party
to which he owes all the prominence he
enjoys.
The Readjusters lave declared that the |
rule of BourbOnism is at an end !; that |
Bourbonism which has driven from the |
State SO many of her best young men to
seek their fortunes elsewhere, because they
did not happen to belong to the old aris-
tocracy of Virginia.
/ knew the time when Judge Allen was
proud of what he now styles the Henry
amendment. thought he would get sick
of the old man Of the SEA upon his Shout
ders. Now that he finds the people con-
damn his pet scheme he wants to pack it
upon Mr.. Henry. He voted for it, and it l

charged the Funders with being the
enemies of free schools.
JUDGE ALIENS ADDRESS.
When Mr.. Allen rose he was received
with such deafenlng cheers that it was
some time before he could he heard. He
said he stood before the people DIS the
standard bearer of the Democratic party
in this district; rs the nominee OF that
party for Congress. IApplause.l A nomi-
thai it had fallen upon an ADLER man, but
as 1T had been committed to him he would
bear it with all the energy God had given
him. lApplause.]
There was nothing he desired to see so
much as harmony and peace i'll the Demo-
cratic ranks in the State of Virginia, and
the Readjuster party Was responsible for
anything but harmony and peace existing
in 1t. [Applause.l My friend, ito Mir.
