Extract Of n Letter from .7lJclnarle, .4pru g.
You will doubtless have been informed by some of
our friends in Charlottesville of the unexpected result
OF the election in this county and Of apparent
icat The election will be contested; and when the
polls are Purged of bad votes have doubt that Ran
doph and Rives elected In any event they are con-
iesscdy elected by the people Of femare The apparent
election OF Gmer and Southall has been OWING 10 the
systematic design of overwhelming and drowning the
voice OF he county by nundation of onresdent vo
ters from your City, and the neghbourng Federal coun-
les Of augusta, Amherst &c, &c, &c If all the
resident votes both Sides deducted from the
polls and the election be left to stand as in GOOD faith
thought substantially do the legitimate voice of the
county have but little doubt that Randolph and Rives
are elected, by majority of forty or fifty votes The
rings of Albemarle have invented and introduced a
practice, which, happily for the honor of Virginia has
been hitherto wholly unknown to political morality
lhey nave not only MANUFACTURED The cOui-
fy with special view to this contest bet they have in
duccd their friends living in other Counties and at con;
siderable distance from this having hama fde relation
OF interest private with the county of Albe-
marie but visiting it, probably for the first time at our
electon to acquire gOng frcehods on the barren rocks of
our mountains (Which they have done for Song)
anu mus to impose upon representatives AGAINST
the known and ascertaned will Of The People of the
county. Not less than dozen instances of this
Kind have been mentioned to me, by name, and Sc
s o aozen more have no doubt &c enumerat-
haze learnt ago that there are cases among the
wing voters of freebllds conveyed simply for the pur-
pose ofgvng votes upon them and with an xpress un
derstanding TO reconvey after the election This is
rather awful forecast of the lax morality and des-
perae expedients which the infatuated struggle of the
