from information received, that a meet
ing or meetings will be held to elect a
delegate for that purpose 10 cue time,
and perhaps in the course of the next
month. Those with whom we have
conversed deprecate every thing calcu-
lated to produce party excitement, and
are resolved to observe the utmost tenn
per and moderation in the exercise of
their unqusstionable right to act upon
their convictions and sense of duty.

ty generally admitted that Virginia will
give its vote for Gen. jackson in the
next presidential election. The oppo-
sltion editors assert this so confidently.
that we are aware that it is almost a
hopeless task to endeavor to convey a
different impression. But the object

ny OF ourfriends believe that Mr.. Adams
will obtain a majority. In the adioin-
ing county of Hampshire, at the last e.
lection Mr.. Adams received but 4 votes:

This is the opinion of the sherifs of the
different districts. In Hardy the admin

In Pendleton a handsome majority will
be given. In Morgan, where Mr.. Adams
received moi one vote, he will receive
nearly one half the votes. In Berkeley
