Al atrssnce Of several weeks from my neighbour
nTod prevented me from seeing and noticing your
communication in the Wing of last month, and i
was not until yesterday that | saw the paper which
contained it, and some comments in the ENQUIRER of
thp date, in relation the subject about which
we treated. This Is ny apology for not replying to
yon sooner.
You say you presume from my silence that Mr.
Glopton has declined being considered n candidate
tnr orr district, to serve in the next CONGRESS-
ddr inference in this case is incorrect. Mr. Clop
ton has not 10 my knowledge declined nor Il, tlup
no would, If solicited by the frenhoidcrs of the dis
tct, TO serve them. bly, belief is that if ha cnnd bo
assured tIa hs prospect for SUCCESS eoral 70 ATr
SteveIsoas 5, all difficulties would at once be reno
VTi, and we should have the pleasure without farther
ceremony, to announce him as a Candidate far mr.
:nifrages. Whether my information on this subject
j. OF such character TO warrant the assertion n
IS perhaps not my province to decide; but feel onte
sHie IN him. say, that far as it does extend il s
ot tire most auspico0s nature 10 the prospects of Mir
tIoptd1. Hanover and Henrico are the only two
Counties In which Dir. Stevenson will get maiorities
Mr.; Ciopton VIII beat him in Richmond, New Kent
aud Charles City. His majority in Richmond win
equal HD. Stevensons in IIenrico; and in New Kent
nearly quite that Of Mr. Sfeveuson's in Uanover
Though do not speak advisedly as to New Kent,
vt am perfectly assnrcd that his aiortics In that
county and Charles City would couniernct that of
DIR. SteTeusDns IN Hanover, and thus place Mr.
Cloptrn in a majority of the district-an event which
~old cause the humble writer ofthis more genuine
and HEARTFELT satisfaction, than auy which has trnus
