by reclamation James Monroe
Stubs, of Gloucester, for Congress
The nominee was present, and in &C
cepting the nomination pledged an
active canvass.
He is the same who, in a card pub
lished few days ago, declined so
positively to be candidate, that no
one who read the card, coald sup
pose for moment that Hanna's cor
ruption fund had any attractions for
him. The change that since has come
over the spirit of his dreams" it may
be, can be accounted for on the
ground that ne did not know then
that part OF the contents of Hanpa's
bar'l would be distributed in Virginia.
OF course he does not expect to be
elected, but doubtless feels that he
will be amply compensated for the
"active canvass" he has promised to
make, in having the honor OF dis
pensing part of the Doodle; which
will be at the disposal Of the leaders
