election the Lewi>burg Alleghauian remarks:
= Our elt ciion took place ON Monday last and
the result was a death blow to the hopes OF the
AN buren, party IN Grrcnbrlcr. For some time
previous 10 tie election, the Nanrs were chuck
Ing at The prospect oi an easy victor, through the
divisions of the Wing party. Thrrr beina three
Why candidates in tn field, it WIS urobable that
the " hlg party would be split into Fragments and
their ad'er>aileS, ever watehiul aud sgilani, de-
termined 10 take advantage of this favorable cir
enni>tance, for the purpose of obtaining cand-
date of their cllpcc. Mr.. REYNOLDS was the cam
dldde liked upon by the party and ON him ali
their strength was concentrated. Ii the party
had the asccndancy, this was the time 10 show it
Tor besides the favorable circumstances, under
which the, were conendng, of the division in the
opposite ranks, the gentemau whom the, had
selected, was ono against whom nothing personal
could be alleged; on the contrary, he is emf
nent for the excellence of his private character.
which all admit i without reproach But his
Van Buren, principles would not 90 down with
the people OF this County; and We think the re-
suit, under all the circumstances of the case may
be claimed as glorious triumph. Mr. Er>kmc,
The candidate for the Senate, declined previous to
the election, 10 the regret of all hi, friends here
Had he held on, thrre Sufficient grounds To
keep the polls open, and several hundred more
votes would have been polled for him.
= y. b. Since the above was in type IA letter
has reached this place from Giles County, stating
that if Mr.. Erskinc had not declined, he would
have div dcd the vote of thai County. We regret
ted the step he had taken when he returned home
and now regret 1t the more, there IS little
doubt of his election, if he had attended the Giles
election"

1t is Il mistake, however, 10 suppose that his vote
shows the strength the Wig party in Harrison,
IS evident from the vote last year, when the
Wings made battle, as a party, which they did not
do this, knowing that it hopeless to canvass the
county on party grounds. Last year, one Of the
" hig candidates received i2l and the other BOO
vote~.-Thc result othc election in Harrison, how
ever, i, more TO be deprc Gated in lis MORAL than in
its political aspect. That two such larri-
son and Shnn should be elected as law makers
the one a sclfconic>>cd dclaurr, and the other "A
forgcr, who escaped the penitcniiary only by flaw
in the Indictment, is sad commentary the in
tcigcnce and virtue of the people OF that county.
But when pc,j~cd traitor, like Reuben NJ. Whit
neg, is deemed worthy OF holding an office in the
treasury buildings, we cannot expect that moral
and political delinqucnts in less conspicuous sta
tons will be regarded with Just adherence.
