Lynchburg Virginian. [volume] (Lynchburg [Va.]) 1829-185?, 1832-10-29

the polls that sixty thousand votes are for Jackson
and only forty thousand for Clay but ye. the Clay
and Scrgean, ticket would be elected, and their
Electors would bestow the vote Of Virginia on
Henry Clay and John Sergeant. And this would
be brought about by our observation-disclosures We di-
vided our votes between two tickets, instead Of
concentrating them on one. Il is gross mistake
10 suppose that the of the two Jackson tickets
will be added together the votes will be polIed
parately ior each cset and tho ticlst which gets
the largest num1er of votes will prev all.
VIII tue friends Of Jackson permit this state of
things Will they suffer themselves to be entrap-
ped in this way2 Being the majority and able to
secure the victory, will they PERM, themselves to
be divided, their strength 10 be fr,,ered away, aud
their cause TO be defeated and lest II Mr.
Barbour could get the vote of Virginia. is ii not
evident that he would still fail in bis election
And is it not PLAIN, that even the Clay ticket will
beat the Barbour ticket in Virginia Why, then,
should We throw away our votes on the Barbour
,ickct2 If we are for Jackson, should we no, vote
for the strongest Jackson ticket And if asaps,
Jackson, how can we consistently vote for the
| Jackson and Barbour ticket
Is this time for Judge Barbonr to lend his
! name to embarrass and defeat party To which he
processes to belong? Should this awful crisis in
the fate OF our country be selected for sowing dis
cord and di;.senlIon ia the ranks Of The democratic
| republican partyl Does no. Juiiac Barbour see
| that every other party, every faction, and every
| fragment OF fac ion, is arrayed against our
honest and patriotic Jackson that the high tariff
lite Of the North and the Naliifer of Inc South, if
| banded together, arc moving in solid column a
| Sainst our excellent and devoted President For
! the hrs, time since the foundation Of the Govern
| ment, we have monicd arstocracy in the field u
gainst US. The United States Bank, with all is
wealth, ul it, power, and Ill ilsinlencc, appears
, 10 be actively engaged in the canvass bribng cd
TORS, purchasing presses, and influencing all With
in its power Is this time for ,iss cn,on Is

10 weigh feathers Shall We no, exercise COM
mon vigilance harmonic toge,hrr-s ton3 as enc
mon--and all rally to the polls : Shall we lose
our choice Tor the first office because minority OF
our friends would prefer another for the second
| Forbid it justice common sense and patriotism.
! An effort has been made to prejudice the public
mind against the ticket nom minated by the Legisa
tive Convention. II has been arfuly charged that
it was pledged IT, vote for Mr.. Van Buren, But
this is gross representation. Look at the res
pectability of tho ticket: il is composed OF the
| following gentlemen, one residing in each congress
sonal district

Can any rational mind believe that liesc respcc-
table gentcmon could be used for any purpose Of
fraud und trenebery Is it no. evidcn, that they
would vote for Mr. Barbour with pleasure, if the
vote of Vrginia would elect himl And can any
OF us desire that the vote OF Virginia should be
thrown away on Mr.. Barbour, if it be plain tina. it
cannot elec, him? Have we choice betwccu
| Mr.. Van Buren, and John Sersean,2 Is ii no OBJ
Jet to keep the election out OF The Senate And is
i, not, therefore, wise and proper that Electors
should DC unp!eJsed as to the Vice Presidency bu,
left to make the best selection which the clrcum
stances viii linlt2
Do no, the pas,izan feelings Of the presses favor
able to Mr.. Clay, display their object and their
! hopes Had Judge Barbour been dominated by
! the Jackson contention IN Baltimore ard received
the support q! the friends OF Jackson generally is

as kindly as they have done2 Would they have
bcon very tendsr ofhs interests DO We not see
tina, wha, they say in favour of Barbour is for a
PURPOSE oftheir own-lnerely to divide US much
as Trey caa, iu order that they may defeat Us ;
! Shall We follow the wishes Of cur enemies--sha
wc, as friends Of Jackson, vote IN the way the
friends ofClay sh W TO vote And when they
tell Us that our electors will vote for Van Buren, is
it not, implicitly, an admission that he is OR stron
sest candidate For our electors, five elect those
above named, will individually vote for our strong

Is it not an unprecedented thing in Virginia that
a portion of one political party, whose only hope of
SUCCESS in this state, rests giving efficacy 10
minority by dividing and thereby defeating the will
of the majority, should cry out against The electors
Of the other party that they will not obey the will OF
that other party, and deny the right the MINORITY
to governs A, the very time thu. they are encour-
aged to make unusual excrtions, by the hope that
division OF opinion, to the second officer exist
ing amens Inc majority, may lead to the success
ofthc minority And when 1T is no, uncharita
bic 10 supposc) that they make this objection for
the purpose of aus'aen,ing dssension, in order
that the viii oftle minority may prevail over that
