Taylor and Mr.. Chas. III. Mallory, was goot
enough TO satisfy the palate OF the mos
fastidious epicure. and was OF the greates
abundance. There were other excellent
dishes.
After an hour devoted to the wants ol
the inner man and 10 social chat President
boswell again called the meeting to order
and introduced Mr.. Henry L. Wickbam
who informed the audience that his father
was suffering from temporary indisposi-
tion, which prevented his attendance. but
he bore from him his congratulations upon
the happy progress OF the canvass, and he
stated that the General said, with a contin-
uance Of the efforts now being made by his
supporters and friends, that he would carry
his district by large majority. Mr.. Wick
ham then, in rapid manner, ran over
some Of the acts Of usurpation and tyranny
OF the would-be autocrat OF Virginia.
Mr.. Wickham's speech was n very spirit
ed one, and elected round after round OF
applause.
Mr.. Beirne, OF the State, was then intro
duced. His appearance on the stand was
the signal for the most enthusiastic ap-
plause. The hour being late, he only
spoke about fifteen minutes, but he made
good use Of his time, and his strong points
and happy hits frequently excited the
cheers OF his hearers. This distinguished
gentleman proved to the satisfaction Of all
present that man could be good speaker
as well as good writer.
| Mr.. Cardwel then took the stand, but
stated that it was too late for him to at
tempt to make speech, but he consumed
about five minutes in an earnest and elo-
quent appeal to the people not to neglect
their duty. He concluded by assuring the
audience that the intelligence received from
every portion OF the State was OF the most
cheering character and indicated the sue
cess OF the Democratic ticket.
The large crowd then dispersed, all
being greatly delighted with the days en-
tertaInment and determined to do earnest
work for the success OF their glorious
cause.
MADDOX DENOUNCED DY MALONE.
On the 1st OF August a convention OF
Republicans, " Reaiusters." and other Ma
hone men met at Powhatan Courthouse
and nominated Samuel f. Maddox, Esq,
As a candidate for the Senate from the dis
trct composed OF the counties OF Chester
| field, Goochland, and Powhatan, and city
OF Manchester. Soon after the adjourn
ment OF the convention General Malone
sent for some OF lis leading members and
told them that Maddox would not do. TO
| please the General the convention reassem-
bled, and Mr.. Alex. Sims, an old gen.
| tleman, also resident OF Chesterfield, was
nominated, and he was acceptable to
Malone. This done, il was supposed that
| Maddox's followers would disappear like
sora after q frost. and offers OF Maddox to
submit the question to the party's State
Committee were unnoticed. After awhile
il was seen that the negroes stuck by Mad
dox; also, that ex-senator Joseph Walker,
the leading Republican in the county, was
FOR him. Then. too late, came overtures
for peace. These having failed new con-
ventiOn has been called to assemble at
| Powhatan Courthouse Septcmber eth. and
| Mr.. Maddox has been denounced as an
assistant Funder by the District Commit
! tee, to whose document the following let
tiers are appended:
The undersigned have had the whole
matter Of the candidacy on behalf OF the
Readiuster- Coalition party Of the Sixteenth
senatorial district under consideration, the
same having been fully submitted by repre-
sentative men OF the party from the three
counties and the city OF Manchester, and
they have reached the conclusion
First That the foregoing call Is, in their
judgment, demanded by the popular sentl-
ment OF the party and Is approved.
Second. That the refusal OF Mr. Samuel
+. Maddox to join Alexander Sims IN his
efforts to bring about concert and unity OF
action in the party, and to accept his pro-
posal to relegate TO the people OF the party
the question rs to who is-Madd0x or
Sims or who shall be the nominee, cancels
any claim he may have had to recognition
n the nominee, and ought TO invoke the
earnest and united efforts OF all true COali-
tionists for the support OF the nomination
which shall be made by the convention to
be held at Powhatan Courthouse Thurs
! day. 27th September.
