We have been somewhat amused at the fsn
Of nonsense pcrPotraicd by a Lynchburg c0rcp
! den, Of tie Richmond Enquirer touching tie fes
III the election IN this county f; and being wIul |
TINT our readers should participate with Us we 81
| join one or ,wo extracts from his letter We |
| not doubt ,h4t the writer has been ASHAMED o.
himself since he has seen it in print S?cas
Of he Wigs, he says
Indeed, so gIeats were their txcr,io1s, u |
seemed as if they would move Heaven and Eat
to make pfoselyto or get vote. In fact they 4
ported votes far and rear. Some came 80 mid
or more men were raised from the dead, as
were, and brought 10 Il = polls in carriages.
The Jackson men, although they had no canas1
running, had active Ennis, willing minds, and |
voted hearts to promote the good old cause o. n
mocracy"
Who the voters were "a. came " 50 mills 1
more we ino" not. We have heard Of only |
gentleman, who answers to the descuiGot
who, having business here, made it conyen.uol \
come on the day of election, that he might kIIyi
oifds with one stone. And as for the men Wiz
were raised from the dead" we confess cur enil
ignorance OF any such event. So far as Xiv.
no graves were opened, and if any Of their qa..
tenants mad made their appearance at the polls, "
question whether their right 10 vote would not hagt
been contested, if the nerves of their living or
rents would have enabled lhcm 10 .o.nup.,- sc.
wH'ch there was no speculation. IAfee Or u y
gentlemen VINO were indisp posed II is tue, wco,,
HE polls IN carriages. wherein we perceive no m
pardonahle cfnc--anl if the Jackson me chose ;,
walk, why lei them thank Heaven, Z, paw
them active limbs, and be content!
