W. Leigh by the citizens of Mecklenburg county, the friends of Philip P. Barbour have put him in the lists "as the man," and the Kanawha Banner has announced Chapman Johnson to be "the candidate more emphatically for Western Virginia." Truly if our next President comes not from the "Old Dominion" it will not be for want of men.
