FOR YYE Enquirer
FELLOW CIrIzENs.-Therc is design pre- alent on the
part ofthe sefstyed Wings TO identity the approaching
elections this county with the interest of Buren,
who they suspect will receive the nomination Of the
Democratic Republican Conve non which will assemble
al Baltimore ON the goth of May next (By the by should
that Convention decide upon this distinguished gentle
man. there could be no filter selection, from the gene
raj moderation of his character, his raDscendant abb
h'cs and unconpronilsng support of the great leading
measures that distinguish the present Administration of
The General Government) lie not deceived by such
specous appearances. The true questions be decided
at the polls in April next, will be the connection of
the name of MIR Van Buren, with the Chief Ma0isiracy
OF ths Union, or ms magical nflucnccbut Leigh
Leigh, Instructions or no instructions Aud If you
should decide in favor of Leigh against
then will you have contributed TO exDgush one of the
most vital principles of Representative Democracy
but; viii not suffer mind To be borne down by
melancholy forebodings particularly, when consider
with what promptitude and energy the great Democa-
OF the land, from Maine Georgia stepped forth in
defence of their dearest rights when this sesame doc
trine promulgated by the Younger Adam, i'm his frat
message 10 the Congress of the United States viz hat
the Representative ought to be palsied by the will
ms constituents Are you less vigant of your rights
now than you then; Are you less patriotic? Is the
cause ofrepubcanisn in less danger than them
Have you not several Senators Congress- recent
W boldly denying the right of their State Legislatures
10 instruct tnem' Has not portion of your own As-
semby acted upon this principle, and deprived Yir
gina OF one OF her most distinguished emil ghencd and
Patrouc sons IN the councils Of the nation VIM. G.
Rives who, by his sefmmolation to support the wan
ing cause OF democratic principles has conferred upon
himself imperishabie laurels; Virginia well say
with the Roman mother reference 20 this
devoted public servant only (who support my pn-
cples) are my Jewels But does it become YOU to
be on the alert when you such exhibition Of zeal
on the part of the Wings Already has your feat been
predicted for the State Legislature This never can be
so long as the people reman themselves The
Opposition candidates, both for Congress and the State
Legislature are arrayed under the White banner. 'rhev
say the of Judge White is identifcd with their
own, and would be greatly preferable the New York
Iactican mont ommlttanan, arch Magician, Kinder
hook lnriguer, &c Nc. Is it not strange that such
heterogeneous politicians, Bank men, Tariff men, Nul.
hhers &c. (disagreeing among themselves, and al
istrauonD should combine select an Administra-
ton candidate for the Presidency who has zone the
whole length with IT. in supporting the Proclamaton
Force Bill, Protest. and all Depend upon it, there is
something rotten at the bottom of all this The Wings
cannot support Judge White for his political opinions;
because he IS IN every leading directly opposed
to them it cannot be through personal rood will and
veneraton. Then what be The motives of the OPP
position In taking this Democratic candidate? Ii is
either TO soften down the Opposition of the friends of
the Administration, under pretence Of running
Of its own party candidate or TO neutralize the
vote OF Virginia In the approaching contest for the
| Presidency Who those Jealous supporters of
Judge White The very same persons who first
canvassed the claims Of Mr. Leigh, that quasi Bank man.
and politician. But, finding MIR. Leigh could not conci.
late the vote of Virginia. they dropped him. and took
to be used by the Wings to the prejudice of his
own party! Should he not be the choice OF the Baltimore
Convention Trust be will imme diaely order his name
TO be stricken from tie canvass Bat shoOd he aer-
wards still persist as the candidate Of she Opposition
and even should they not desert him, viii lie stand
as high with the true JeheYsonan Republican Party he
did at hrsR The Wings copsmp plated great success in
this county they do in the State by putting on the
mantle Of Judge White We already see eloquent op-
peas TO The People, requesting them TO give their sup
port to the 'hite candidates They also tel them
to be afraid TO differ with Gen Jackson-to possess more
manly tortude independence and patriotism than to be
afraid to differ with any administrations opinion-tha
Gen Jackson has Independent political opinions of
hsownthat he and does and is controlled by the
Judgment and advice of others Isl by such ingenious
devices these, that you expected acquescc in
the aominabe prescription and prostration of Virginia
most Jealous and faithful public servants But trust
you VIII see clearly through all such meanderings of the
Wings; and when the proper time arrives, (the second
Monday in next monthly you will march with one I'M
broken, consolidated column TO the polls and do your
duty Ia your country
