Some triumph is manifested ut tie defeat of Col.
Pateson in Buckingham, who il seems has been Iepu
dated by the good people of that county for having
declared in favor of the administration. Yet who that
respects hrmness and Independence, would not be
defeated Col Patteson has BEEN by his csndor and
naniness, rather than success to The temper sine
arts Of the dernsgogue. This gentleman has been for
several years, delegate, and faithful one 10 the
people Of buckingham. In the House Of Delegates
he has been distinguished more than any member of
that BODY by the perfect independence of his course
submitting TO doiatiOD from quarter, and sub
stituiing the wishes Of man set OF men, for his
convictions. 1T the late Presidential election
he was jackson man, though he voted the Crawford
ticket, from The then hopeessuets Of Gen. Jscksou's
prospects in Virginia His predictions we're all on
that side; added TO which he was an admrer and con-
slant supporter Of that eccentric politician, John Ran
