riio Shenandoah has demonstrated with the Executive
OF Virginia, against the fairness CT the election for
member Of Congress in ai County, aud that his pro
tcstaion has been signed bya ru.ber of gentlemen
IN chat and Tie adjacent county, without regard 60
politics. The Executive has power in these ,!.at
iers, and consequently can do nothing. The House OF
| Representatives OF The L. States is vested by the
constitution with oyer and tc.nucr jurisdiction As
the Shenandoah election lies under the reproach OF
untaIrness, whether true false we are pleased 10
learn for the honour Of Virginia that IS TO tie uvcs

tic complaint OF the Sheriff, it Directed so :nuc,
against bad votes, the central spirit OF unair.less
towards Mr.. Powell which characterized TIC n:oocod
