| The Winchester "Vrgn,l,l" pays the trilnte
which is justly due TO the character and talents of
Mr. Cooke--bu objects, MS he has right and is
bound to do to his political! principles. The norn-
nation will at least have the good effect Of calling the
Republican party TO their post, defeat the election
of politicinll who has always been in the oppose
ton ranks. The virginnn calls upon the people TO

dread the contest:

For our own parts, do not drend the result
The signatures of more than 100 of the voters of
Frederick, which have just appeared on tic Inslric-
uoh papers attest 10 their strength and vigor in the
county. Aud we are sure that several WHO have
fnllered and hcsated to sign them, will be induced
by the decided politics of the new candidate to take
II decided part against him.
Here then we have Convention of the Whirs for
