THE CAUCUS ELECTORS-NEW AND
DAMNABLE DOCTRINES.

'Fhe Charlottesville Advocate and chmond
Enquirer, contain letters from other of the Caucus
Electors, in reply to Mr.. Gilpors enquiry, if they
would vote for Judge Barbour as Vice President
provided majority of the People of Virginia in
November, designated him as their choice for Vice
President.
These letters excluded by their volume, from
publication entire and there is less necessity for it,
as they are all set to Che same tune Some of them
indeed, as Msssrs. Homer of Fauqucr, and Mason
of Frederick declare their resolution of abiding
by the voice of the People if clearly expressed but
even they guard the concession jealousy, and
it is evidently, extorted from them by the force OF
the propositions much against their wills, that
their purpose is left involved in obscurity. Let
make few extracts from their letters, and accom-
pany them by few comments, in order to prove
this to the Public, and to show what all these gen
tlemen electors are after
