Great majority for the Wing, over the two
Jackson candidates


letter in the Alexandria Gazette states that il is
believed that the plan of running Jackson candidates
was agreed upon, IN order to make it appear that Ball
could not command majority over the Jackson vote

made to produce an agreement than TO bring out one
candidate, instead of two. If Fairfax had had fair
play, she would have returned Republican instead
OF a Wing. But she has been king 4. Queencd by
our own friends. The facts, we understand are
that MIR Sangster originally brought out against
Col Ball. and he would have been elected. But Sang
scr was the High Sheriff Of the county at the time

would expire at the March Court when it was expected
that Mr. Thomas Moss, who the next oldest Justice
OF the Peace, would qualify TO the commission already re-

there has bcena difficulty in consequence Of the number
OF candidates for ii, and the unyiedng temper of their
respective friends. At the March court fruitless effort
was made TO elect clerk; and after many ballots was de-
terrcd until the April Term This state of things kept
