RAD, esq, first addressed the voters, in relation
to hand bill that had been circulated, declaring
the intention of many voters, TO support him, for
the House Of Delegates. and announc ing that he
would serve if elected Mr.. Conrad positively
declined being considered as a candidate and an
nounced that he was ineligible, while he held
the Office Of Prosecuting Attorney, in the Supe-
rior Court, which he had liberty TO resign,
without giving 30 days notice. Mr.. Cook then
spoke for about hour He justified his course
in the Virginia Convention, and Indignantly re-
PEELED the charge, that he was an aristocrat He
then opened most eloquent battery upon the in
trigues and corruptions, which Van Buren, has
introduced in the Government. Col. LucAs re-
piled in speech of about an hour. Mr. MAsLIN,
one Of the candidates for the House of Delegates,
then made brief declaration of his decided op-
PoS''oh W INV ""n''histrauon III ueience, against
charge, that he understood had been circulated,
that he had become Jackson man. The Jack.
son party had no candidates for the Assembly.
Mr.. Cookies majority for Congress is 80; over

Frederick. The opposition in Jefferson, lamp

the former,- for the honor of the district, we
trust they will exert il.
