the part of those whom I have had the honor to represent for the past twelve years in the City Council, and now honored with a seat in the Legislature of Virginia. excited in my bosom the liveliest emotions. The position is one, in my humble judgment, which should be neither sought nor avoided, unless for good reasons; but as I am now holding two offices by your kindness, and the Convention and General Assembly will be sitting at the same time, both demanding The constant attention of the members, would make it incompatible with your interest that I should accept of a seat in the Convention, if it were your pleasure to bestow it upon me, I must, therefore, respectfully decline becoming a candidate.

Last Friday there was quite an exciting debate at the Court-House between Messrs. Harvie Gregory and Weisiger, candidates for the Convention. The friends of each gentleman seemed satisfied and to be hopeful as to the result. I hear that there are three other candidates in this District, so that the people will have a large enough number out of which to select a suitable man. A man who was operating in this county as a daguerreo typist was ordered off a few days once, as his antecedents were not known, and be seemed to be on rather too familiar terms with the colored friends, crowds of whom visited his tent to have their pretty faces taken. He was wise enough to take a hint, so that the day after he was notified that his room was better than his company, he left for parts unknown. It is well for the people to keep a sharp l
