that every voter in this county shall be

correct opinion on the great question,

the polls every friend of the Administra

the p:opriety Of getting up meetingsim

practicable, and we deem it of consid.

be selected to address the people before
the polls are opened, on the day of cleo
ton.
These are our resolutions and views,
in regard to u duties on this occasion.
Our opponents acquired their seeming
ascendancy in Virginia, by long continu-
ed and untiri0g exertions, before the
friends OF the administration we're aroa

and since the last Autumn, we are a.

been made to retrieve what had been
lost, whilst we slumbered and slept;''
nevertheless, we apprehend that these
exertlons have no yet been general and
vigorous enough. We sincerely hope,
that the people os your county, whate
yer means they may adopt, in order To
advance the cause Of the administration,
may lose no time in carrying their mea
sures into execution.
We propose publishing, for the use of
this and some two or three of tie ad
joining counties, the documents relative
TO Gen. Jackson's connection with the
Burr Conspiracy--his negro specula-
lions bis land speculations-a small
pamphlet, illustrative of the Generals
veracity- Lacock's statement--and such
other matters, as may hereafter be de,

we recommend where it is practicable:
They print a paper every tvs weeks,
containing all the political matter Of the

ter the election. We would also recon

and sending On for the Wing, Marylan-

them. Yours, Respectfully,
