the impression is attempted 10 be m.de at distance
thst The vote OF Virginia is iubtful, we viii quote
some OF the incidents referred to 10y this candid
writer.
he first refers 10 the election of Mr.. John "
er TO The Senae The writer says, Mr. r. nas
opposed 10 Gen. ]. and MIR Randolph was in his
favor; that MIR. T. nominated by Mr. Moore
OF Rockbfidge. avowed Adams man, and sun
ported by - MIR. Lefller opponent OF the poii-
ucks OF Virginia. and SIR. Davis of iianuyer The
friend OF MIR. Clay; that Mr.. Lefflur was from
what was supposed TO be Jackson district, but, On
returning home was elected TO Congress- in opposi-
ion 10 the late member, who was The only one Of
the Virginia delegation that voted tor JACKSON in
The ii. OF Representatives. Here are circumstan-
ces aftiuily woven together, with some show of
piauslbility, to produce impression directly
contrary Ia The fact II is that MI TYLER wa.
opposed TO Cen j. at The late election but whether
ne was not, at that time, we will not undertake
his IIttIc hn.y Grc,
ny OF the wSrmest friends of jackson VOTED for
him, and some who had preferred Jackson 10
Crawford. under an Impression different from that
OF The !eiteT-wTeTi and since the Senatorial cleo
ton we have understood that Mr.. Tyler is decided
~ Tor Jackson in opposition TO Adams. But, if
the letter-wTileT member OF the Lesislaiu,e
he knew that q election did not ,urn upon the
Presidential question. The very party that btoupl
Mr. Tyler forward first endeav CURED to bring for
ward Judge Barbour but failing in that they deter
mined the evening beiors the election, to run Mr.
iyler That Mr. Il Ter was elected by the Uni
on OF The administration party with hi. warm nor.
sonal friends, and those gentlemen " no were yio
iently opposed To MIR. Randolph, is what no
candid will deny. lie was voted fn,
by some of the most determined opponents of the
Administration IN the legislature The idea tia, be-
cause he W as nominatedby Mr. Moore and sustain ed
by Messrs Leflrr & Davis his election was am sJ-
ninistration triumph, is ridiculous. How could
that De! There we're not among the s21 votes thar
were given, more than Thirty Adams men. A

presented as all administration man, opposed 10 the
politics OF the state; and it is insiru.teJ thai in

ed through his district as the friend OF Jackson
! we heard hiiu declare that man who would NOT
support Jackson, stood AMI chance OF being elected
In that district.
