BOTETOURr.-Thc election for this county |
Monday last and tho polls |
were kept open ut the Courthouse and at all the |
precincts Except Sacm) till Wednesday evening |
Notwlt hstanding The day was very unfavorablc, an
unusually largo number of voters attended on |
Monday. The people were addressed by the can |
iidates for the Legislature, each disclosing fully |
his views of the important subjects TO which the !
attention of that body would be directed.
Mr. Craig very briefly solicited tho sutfrages of
lie people, and hoped, his opponent had with |
lrawn, that no ceiling ofprcfcrencc for him should
low induce them to withhold their votes from him
re f. MIR. Miller followed, giving his Inducements
or offering and his reasons and motives for now
iccimlng further canvass for Congress-
dc commented with severity, and INDUCED through
Tut his whole address, most literally, his ondness
or COOL cuttin sarcasm, upon the political course
of his opponent. MIR. Craig replied, evidently |
much excited, endcavoring to explain away the OBJ |
ectlons urged against him and which he perceived
had made deep impression upon the audience !
Mr. Miller again presented himself, and regrette ed
that the calm review which he compelled I'M
some measure take of Mr.. Craig's course sho,.id
dscomposc that grntlcman,-that he was perfectly |
fisFsSSio:.at7 himself and Sorry ho could not
help Mr.. Craig being otherwise. The whole dis
;ussion was listened to with profound attention
md the most intense interest. When the discus
sion closed thero seemed to be but one i'm preston
trough the vast srowd Il condemnation of Mr..
rags course, which hc could in no wise relieve
rom the charge of inconsistency every where i'm
utcd to it, and so wildly portrayed by Mr. Miller,
and deep regret that it too late for that
Gentleman to retract his determination to decline
When the polls were opened Mr.. Miller fiuding
hat his friends still determined to run him. begged
/ he had any influence with them that they should
lot vote for him-that he was no way before them
that ne had taken pains to be withdrawn at all
he precincts, and he wished the same course adop-
cd here. We have not heard doubt expressed
hat Mr.. Miiler's majority would have been between
and 800, probably more. This county can give
200 votes, and it has never, probably, been so dis
osed TO exert itself before for any individual. In
he vote Of Mr.. Craig will be found large portion
If Mr. Millcr's warmest political friends.
For CONGRESS-: Robert Craig, no opposition.
