Mr. Wright's Appointments.

Mr. Wright arrived in this city on Monday last, and left next day for Greencastle. He had filled all his appointments up to the 16th, besides making some 16 speeches in addition. This great labor was of course very wearing, and it brought Mr. Wright here almost entirely exhausted in physical strength. For this reason, enforced by the advice of his friends, it was impossible to continue to fill his appointments as proposed for this week, but Mr. Morton of Centerville, will attend to the appointments of this week in place of Mr. Wright. It is our opinion, that duty to himself and family should deter Mr. Wright from endeavoring to fill the balance of his appointments; but it is his desire to do all that he can. If practicable, therefore, he will speak to the people of some of the counties before the election, and will give notice, by a new list of appointments of the times and places. For the last three days of Mr. Wright's speaking he was compelled to sit in a chair, being unable to stand on his feet. During the canvass he has made 90 speeches, in 60 different counties. Mr. Wright would probably have remained here a day or two, for rest, but he was strongly solicited to attend the meeting, on Wednesday, of the Board of Trustees of the Asbury University, (of which body he has been a member since its organization,) and the business of whose present meeting is the election of a President of the University.
