CHARLoTrEsyILLE, May 9.
.di6emarlc Con,fy.-rhe Election for members
TO represent the Senatorial District composed Of !
the Counties of Albemarle, Amherst, Nelson,
| Fiuvanna and Goochand. commenced, i'm this
| county, on Monday last. In consequence of the
inccment state Of the weather, for great part of
the day, the polls were kept open, and the result
at their close, "Wednesday evening, was as fol-
iows:-Jas. Peasants $50; Wm. C.. Riyes 25s;
Hugh Nelson l6S; Gen. VIM. F.. Gordon l43; Da.
vd 5. Garland $50; Lucas p, Thompson &c; Ian.
don Cabell II; DIR. Thomas Masse as, John Nj !,
Martin 10.
! On no occasion have we ever known an cleo 4
| ton so thinly attended. The latter part of the
day OF Monday was hne, and the two succeeding
days without cloud Albemarie has poied 500
votes, and we should suppose that The full number
would fall very little below 1000 yet the elec-
ton which is Just passed, the number taken is less
than 500. How shall we account for this result:
There is only one alternstvc--either the people,
in this section of country at least, are altogether
Indifferent to their dearest rights aud impor-
tant interests, they incredulous and nsensi-
BILE Of the evils in the present system Of our go

edge OF the people and respect for their intelli-
gence, forbid Us to entertain the FIRST branch of
| this alternative for moment.
| poll was opened for the purpose Of registering
the votes OF the non-freehoders. The attempt
was, however, in little time given up. Very
few presented themselves 10 be poied. [L4dpocate

| Rochbridge Co,nty.-On Monday last the
Polls were opened for members to the Convention
lot tins District.-John Bowyer, Jr. Esq read an
| exposition OF the sentiments reform, of VIM
Kinney, Jr. of Augusta-when Messrs. William
| Taylor, Samuel Med. Moore and Capt John
Dowyer, severally addressed the people. James
Mcdowell, Jr. Esq. who had been applied to
IN writing, by so or SO persons, then rose and
declined being considered canddate-after which
Sydney S. Baxter, Esq. rose, and in very APP
propriate and forcible manner, advocated the
- W. IT.
the support Of this District. Samuel Med Moure,
Esq. informed the people that Thomas Jones, Esq:
and Gen. Mccoy of Pendleton, had been an
nounced as candidates to the Cow entoI, aud VIM.
Taylor stated that he had also been requested 10
inform, that J. II. Peyton, Esq. had been also
named as q candidate. In the Staunton Specta-
tor Of last week. Henry ). Tapp and Jacob
Swope, Esqrs. were announced as 'emphatically
the Peoples Ticket, in opposition to Johnson and
Baldwin.
The morning was cloudy, and that circumstance
with the busy aSouTs Of the farmers, rendered
the vote very small one. The vast intellectual
superiority and known moral worth of johnson
and baldwin, secured to them the confidence, and
almost unanimous support of the people OF Rock
bridge. We think the vote given to them, was
highly credtabe to the intelligence and good sense
OF our county.-Our citizens were much divided
as TO whom they would select as candidates from
this county. Three Of our citizens have been vo-
ted for, and it is now for Augusta to decide which,
or whether either of them shall represent this dis
trictin par, in Convention. We feel no fears but
that Augusta will use her power magnanimously;
and should she be herself in electing Johnson and
Baldwin, Rockbridge we apprehend will not COM
plain OF the choice she may make out OF the three
voted for here. The polls were not closed when
our paper went to press.-The following was the
state Cf the poll at that time, which will not per-
haps be materially changed.
Cen. b. G. Baldwin 256, Chapman johnson Esq.

The election has been appointed by The Legis
lature, for the most inconvenient season of the
year; notwithstanding, we cannot help expressing
our surprise at the apathy that prevails the oe-
casioD. Strange indeed, that at time when so
much noise is made throughout the State, about
extending the invaluable right of suffrage, SO few
in this county, who now have the right. show any
disposition TO exercise it this occasion, the most
important to Virginia, that has occurred since
or independence. [InfelRgeRcer. I

CHARLESTON, X. April 29.-The information
which we have received from various quarters OF
the District leaves doubt OF the election Of the
following gentemen:-Lewis Summers Of Kama
wha, Edwin Duncan of Harrison, Adam See of
Randolph, and John Ladley OF Cabell.
The powerful counties of Harrison and Ran.
dolph will gave an almost undivided support to
this ticket In Wood and Mason, we understand
it meets the general appreciation of the voters and
we think we hazard but little in saying that the
gentlemen named, will receive general suffrage
in the counties OF Kanawha, Cabeil, and Logan
