TO 1lfE EDITORS OF 7ffE Enquirer
GESrLEMfN observe IN your paper. that you have
recommended to the Committee of Chesterfield and
Brunswick g to come out" You say investigate AGAIN
the votes OF their counties and the grounds which
some OF their voters have been stricken from their lists
&c Now as to Chesterfield think that this would be
quite an idle and unnecessary task; or least until
Mr. Johnson himself 'comcs out and informs them that
he has so stricken from lists certain votcrs-fnsh
their names with the grounds of his objections &c &c
In iact TO let know what he has done in this affair
or what he intends doing AT present, perfectly

except such as receive from the abusive and anony-
nous correspondents in the public papers hardly sup

in the county will undertake TO meet and investigate
again TINS business at the instance of of dirty crib

he has done this, have not yet heard of it, But even
in that case, under any circumstances scarcely be-

OF rc-inves'igation &c The instructed delcpates or
the most of them, our delegate Mr. Johnson beinG
among them. voted to bring the election of u s
senator III tho early part of the session Pray what did
this indicate Surely, when this was given they
had not given their instruction papers that due atten
ton and consideration TO which they were Justly ent
tied This vote also clearly proves that those instruct
cd members had then made up their minds and had come
to the conclusion that they were not instructed After
this demonstration their part any farther nvestiea
ton into the matter would, indeed be am
and useless piece of work
No. Messrs. Editors, Judging from what has already
Tanspircd at Richmond, am afraid that if an
Angel OF light was to descend attempt to convince
these men that their not in accordance with
the wishes of the people, that impression could be
made upon them: they would Continue To say \

Their farms and plantations, without again under

people, but should at once, be cashicred and made TO

better informed and enlightened agents who will

Yes, Messrs Editors, repeat you should also recon-
mend TO the Chesterfield Delegate to come forth and
state publicly what voters he has struck from the in

the instructors of Chesterfield will themselves tcome
out and oin issue with the Delegate; They will not

themselves for Mr. Johnson and when he appears they

Whether 1t will be adopted, ! know not. am for it,
