a soldier refreshed at cool brookiet, halt
Inc tor n moment beneath the shade OF q
desert oasis, who cocls his parched lips at
the uesven-sent spring, and goes on with
renewed courage and more determined
yalor. Will carry the recollection OF your
generous greetings and kind hospitality 10
cheer me In the heat and burden OF the
strife. in the sad hour Of defeat, or In the
joyful moment of success.
The speaker then proceeded 70 recall the
publication OF a somewhat well-known
Virrinlan. who wrote "Thc Flush Times OF
Alabama and Mississippi" the point OF the
anccdote being TO illustrate the true Nir-
oinia character; that II they were some
fines reckless and careless in mourning oD-
LEGATIONS. they were always careiui iuiiy 10
discharge them TO the letter; in short, that
n Virginian would make contract IKE
= fool he would always fulfil IL IKE gem
tleinan. Virginia had, perhaps, ne SAID,
been foolish in mourning much OF
her debt, and in the slicing of OF West
virginia injustice had been done TO the
people Of Virginia In the adjustment OF the
State debt, but the State had received DOL
lar for dollar for every bond issued:. she
had contracted the debt, perhaps foollshiy,
but the contract had been made; the STATE
had received the money for her bonds; she
had made settlement upon her own
terms, and she was in honor bound 10 pay
them i'm full. 81 am Virginian," he con-
tinued. 81 have confidence IN the man
hood Of Virginians, and / tell you Ina1
never will the combined strength OF Ma
homes reckless plundcrers and his kepuD-
liean allies be able to place upon Virginia
the stigma OF reputation, and cause the
blush OF shame TO mount to the cheeks OF
Virginia manhood.
"Maryand and Virginia are sister states.
lApplause.1 They have fought sac ny
side upon the field Of battle; they have
been close in affection in every period OF
their history, and feel that ! am welcome
here because am son OF virginia sou a.
| am foster son OF her Maryland sister"
Mr.. Daniel concluded by extending
cordial invitation TO all there present 10
visit him at his present home In Lynch-
burg, and If he should be elected, to the
Executive Mansion at Richmond.
MAYOR LATRODE.
Mayor Latrobe responded In a brief but
happy speech. welcoming the distinguished
quest. because he was one OF the most dis
tincuished citizens Of our sister State; be-
cause he represented the party with which
the people of Maryland sympathize, and,
most of all, because he represented the
cause of honor, and was the chosen cham
pion Of the people Of Virginia in the fight
against population; because he was bat
ting for a cause national in its character,
and the victory Of which would be vic
tory fer Maryland as well rs victory
for Virginia and for the whole country.
awe hsve,r said the Mayor, "entertaineda
number of distinguished visitors in Balti-
more latcly-the descendants OF the gallant
Frenchmen whose valOr had been OF ines
Unable service in the fight by the Colonies
for independence and liberty, and after
them the descendants OF the yalOrous Won
Steuben, who had led the Maryland Line
mt Yorktown--but 10 none OF them was
there deserving q more hearty greeting
than TO the champion Of the honesty,
honor, and integrity Of the old Com
monweaIth OF Virginia" The Mayor
closed with q graccfully-eXpreSscd hope
that the distinguished guest would not
fail in his glorious cause, and that he
would soon have the pleasure OF addressing
him as Governor Of Virginia.
CAPTAIN wIsE's SPEECH.
Captain Wise then responded briefly but
TO the general demand for a
speech from him. lie said that every man
who was worthy the name OF good citi-
zen was deeply interested in the contest in
Virginia. 1t is contest against the credit
of the State and the honor OF the people OF
the State. II was more than this-it was
contest in which ignorance and brutality
was marshallcd against intelligence and re-
IL was q contest by designing
politicians to sustain themselves by aid OF
the corrupt use of Federal patronage and
the use of the negro vote, and the de-
struction Of the good name and
fair fame us well as the material
interests of the State. "Virginia," said the
speaker, "is Democratic TO the core, and
Malone was disappearing the sentiment
Of the State and 0utraging her opinions In
the Senate. BY foul bargain he had
given the Senate TO the Republicans, and
now he was engaged in an attempt to put
the Anglo-SaXon race beneath the feet OF
the African. lie and his friends were
traitors to Virginia" Captain Wise went
on to show by what base means the COali-
zion party were seeking to carry the cam
paign TO u successful issue. He spoke Of
declaration that he would carry
Z" Africa into the war as but fair sample Of
the real purposes Of the Coalition TO succeed, !
no matter by what means or what might be |
the consequences" His speech was in |
terrupted by the announcement that the /
boat in which Major Daniel was to leave !
would start in Il short time. In conclusion, |
however, he said: "Our foes are numerous, |
our fight is q great one, and the forces OPP |
posed TO us are not to be despised; but we
shall go on in sleepleSs, tireless, determined !
combat until the Sth of November, and |
when the issue has been met and decided /
you will see that Virginia has been true to !
herself, to her traditions, TO the Democratic !
party, and to the country"
General b. II. johnson made few re-
marks, and the banquet was adjourned.
At the conclusion Of Captain Wise's I
speech Maj or Daniel was again called upon, !
and spoke for few moments, acknowledge /
ing in graceful style the greetings which he |
had received. He was cheercd TO the echo, /
and escorted TO the carriage in waiting at /
the hotel door by the entire assembhge. I
There was large crowd upon the streets, I
and Major Daniels appearance with his .
Virginia friends was the signal for loud |
and long-continued cheers. From the |
hotel he was driven to the wharf OF the |
Eastern Shore Steamboat Company. Here /
a large number OF gentlemen had preceded /
him, and he, Captain Wise, DR.. MoiIett, and 4
Mr.. Garrison were compelled TO hold an |
informal reception upon the boat in wait /
ing to take him to Aeeomac county. When |
the steamer started the crowd on the wharf /
cheered again and agnin, Major Daniel |
wiu remain y. Accoinac county for severai
days.
