Though he never occupied any official position under any other Government than that of his native Commonwealth, he has long been extensively known as one of the distinguished sons of the South. The writer of this has a distinct recollection of the impression made by Mr. Lyons upon the Southern Commercial Convention, held at Savannah in December, 1856, of which body he was President. In that assembly, composed in part of some of the ablest statesmen of the South, Mr. Lyons gained a reputation of which any one might be justly prond. That able and discriminating journal, the Savannah Republican, in a notice of the proceedings of the Convention, thus expressed itself in regard to President Lyons: "Whatever differences of opinion may exist in regard to the sentiments and doing of the Convention, there is one point upon which all ar

He closed his letter with an appeal to his countrymen to resist the election of a Black Republican President. The following is an extract: "It is impossible," said Mr. Lyons, "that the Southern States can ever permit Mr. Fremont to be inaugurated as their president, unless they are prepared to become worse than bondsmen, more degraded than the serfs of Russia, the very slaves of their own slaves.

nion may well be proud that she is able to boast of such a son." This compliment to Mr. Lyons was cordially endorsed, so far as could be ascertained, by the entire Convention. Another Southern journal spoke of his closing address to the Convention as one of the happiest efforts of extemporaneous eloquence. "Knightly courtesy," said the writter, "was stamped on every paragraph; the chaste, graceful, and eloquent elocution would have done no discredit to Chesterfield or the Earl of Chatham. The address breathed throughout the spirit which should animate every man in the South." Such was the impression made by James Lyons as the President of an intelligent Southern assembly, five years since. That he would make an equally favorable impression in the Congress of the Confederate states, we do not entertain a doubt. Elect him to the ensuing Congress, and he will occupy in it the position or one of the most able, accomplished, and useful members. Upon the great questi
