He la an able man, a patriot; and a statesman, and the West need ed his services. As he said, in hia speech yesterday, his people were at a disadvantage here on account of the t institution , of slavery. His growtn would have been restricted here. I honestly believe that there ore in Guilford county a half dozen or more natives who would shine with the dis tinguished Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States under similar circum stances. Of course Mr. Cannon has improved every opportunity, and has become a man of learning and great wisdom. . "In appearance Mr. Cannon Is not unlike his first cousin, Mr. Isaac Stanley, of Guilford. The two have the same reddish glint in. their thin auburn hair, the same shary features in the face, and the same keen, grey eye. ' They are of one age and build.
