Inc Committee appointed At a meetine of
the citizens Of fredericksburg friendly to The
election OFF. Q. Adams To the next Presidenc,
for the purpose Of forming an electoral ticket
nave, IN conjunction with the conmi,tees az
Norfolk, Winchester and elsewhere. s.ead;lv
pursued the object Of their appointment: and
they nave DOW The satisfaction of announcing
10 'helf fellow citizens, that they have nearly
completed thai part OF their duty. In twenty
one districts the names of highly Respectable
INDIVIDUALS nave been selected. The three
mat remain To be filed, are the districts of
m,chmond, Petersburg and Monongahela.
These could long since have been sll.d
nad the committee chosen TO make selection
hut they preferred, in every instance. to re-.
ceIve nominations from Others. and. whore
practicable, from public meetings of the
cit'zsns themselves. 10 many of the districts
ms mas been done. A meeting is now called
IN the City OF Richmond, To he held some dav
ms week, at which an elector for that district
WIZ doubtless be nominated, and we are in
daily expectation Of receiving nor,ina.ioos
from the other two districts When those arr.
received, the Ticket will be csmpIetc: and
whenit shall have received the sanction of III.
other committees with whom we ACT. will be
uuty announced IL the public.
In another part of their duty, the consttu-
ting 0f county Committees for the purpose of
circulating the Ticket, and otherwise aiding its
success al the polls, our preparations are no! 50
complete. The friends Of Mr.. Adams in dis
tant counties, where Committees have not
been already appointed, are earnestly request
10 communcat" to us, or tOsome other CORES
p0nding Committee, without delay, the names
of several active and influential citizens in each
county, who could be- relied ON to serve as
county Committees for the above purposes.
The Committee take pleasure in saving To-
Their fellow citizens who think with them in
TINS important question, that every ressnp
which first induced us to make stand against
tne CAUCUS nomination., and in favor of our
candidate, still exists in full force and we
have the further Satisfaction of being assured.
that our cause daily gains ground. From the
numerous and unequiy ocal expressions of pub
lie sentiment, as demonstrated by pubyc
meetings Of the people, and as conveyed in AN
extensive correspondence in every part of the
State, no doubt remains but that a decided
majority of the independent freehoders. of
the State are opposed in principle to the
caucus, and to the caucus nominations. OIL
me three opposition candidates, we believe
tnan John Quincy Adams is by far the mos,
prominent, and he is certainly the second
choice Of very large majority of those who
now prefer others. These things encourage
us to perseyere 10 the just expectation that
mary who now seem disposed to yield quiet
submission to the caucus ssurpaiion, will vet
awake from their Ietfargy and assert the rights
OF ireemen and that brethren, who now are d.
vided 10 their attachment to persons, may vet
uulte upon the common ground that disin.
CUISINES them and ensure the triumph of free
principles and free elections.
by order Of the Committee.
