We would again remark that if any portion Of
the Wings in this section of the State design be-
inc represented inthe Staunton Convention, (Which
i, to meet on the 9Th of .Iunc,) they have no Time
to lose in appointing delegates.
By the way, has the reader noticed the disingt
nuousnesS of the Richmond Enquirer. recently,
touching this movement That paper is now sri-
wing 10 make it appear that ii is only "snce the
deetioa" that the Wings arc showing their
hands," by advocating what it is pleased 10 tenn
"a double shotcd ticket" Every body knows that
the purpose of holding Convention in Stanton,
as we'll the object eft, was boldly proclaimed
preriouslY to the clcelion--and We were then char
ged with doing so for the purpose OF operating up
on the Northwestern counties And Vet
now told, that " since The eiection," We are show
inc onr hands, II may be j." impcrtinent' to no.
tee the tricks of the Enquirer but shall ne,
erthelcss continue to do So whenever the rcntr0-
5la Editor of dat journal shall lose sight Of the
gravity which becomes his gray hairs.
BY the way, we do not marvel at the Enqairer's
horror of a " double Shotied tickc' 1t very well
recollects the effect it produced in the Prrs
dential election of 1924, when the friends of
Adams and jackson, in North Carolina, each Of
them too weak to separate ticket, combined
against the Enqurer's then iavorc, MIR. Crawford,
and defeated him, giving the vote to Jackson.

~ The Enquirer claims a majority OF from
) to 10000 for the Van Buren, Electoral Ticket in
the Fall. All iudge--nended for effect abroad.
The Enquirer knows, unless it be hallncnated,
at if the Y. B. ticket be carried at all, it will not
be by as many hundreds he claims thousands.
For our own part, entertain not the shadow OF
doubt tllat it will be beaten by handsome ma
jority.

Mclean, the Wig candidate, will contest the G.
