Political Club, in Fredcricksburg-and We pro-
test agains, the alleged proceedings being cons'
dered as sanctioned by any respectable portion
Of our citizens. We are proud to say, that we
do not think the Ancient Dominion the soil IN

something more than mere solitary echo Of th'
Carolina doctrines"

votes then given required higher qualification
than we're prescribed now. Four counties hav
made no returns and on the whole it seems to b.
questionable whether this imperfect vote, Wit
ITS small majority, will prevaii-or whether tn
entire proceedings will be held to be void.
