PRAY, PtRBl* pOM'KVTII A t'KD A Vr-.—Acn««o*b RICHMOND WHIG. JUDGE LUCAS P. THOMPSON. To the Editor of the W'At'j: Tae nomination of Judge Thompson, of Staunton, fr, Senator, commends itself at once to all who hare tb< opportunity to know of his intrinsic qualifications, si peculiarly prtper. A high-toned Virginia genii-man o tho old eehool, acccmpliehed in mind and manners, trained at the feet of the Gamaliels of Virginia states meu, hi* selection as one of our first Confederate Sena tors would give assurance that Virginians still bought talent and learning and chivalrous inbgrity as indl-prn sahle characteristi c in her public representatives, i 11 the deba'ee of the Convention of 18tiy- :0, Judge Thompson—then perhaps the youngest man ot that cele brated.body—maintained a most enviaUe stand. 11 is -t-eccfcis evince a reniai kabie appreciation of tho practi cal issues involved, an acumen and depth of though-, and elegance of diction—ad b 'tokening qualities of the highest ordi-r. An F.tsteru man by birth, his sincere and able advocacy of the political rights of the West •on tor him iu that section a reputation and regard •hi. b le-rnlt d iu his -election at an uauruallr early agi to the jjdgeshipof in most important circuit, which uow tor thirty years has been his adopted home. H.s eminence as a jurist is conferred, yet his chival rous character and popu ar sympathies would perhaps have indicated the political forum as his forte : hence, utrhapa it is, that with the most unremitting study in his profession, he has, in his taste for general reading, apt “posted'' to a remarkable extent on all the politic pi topics ot the limes. A! hough attached to tho Uuion as our father* made it, ar.d i-'aloua for its preservation as such, his instinctive aversion to Lie mere idea of subjugation by Mich a crea ture as Lincoln sufficed of itself to make him an earnest tdveoate of secession. ffaving never been a politic iai^ a the ordinary .euse of that Urn), be nan Imte “no frit ads to reward, and no enemies to punish.” T -e Old loinmonwealdi will honor herself by always selecting such meu for her natioua! representatives Asorum YiatliluK.
