OF We understand that A. Justice, Of buckingham, appears in
yesterdays Wing, and attacks Us with very little courtesy, for not
having published a long Memorial Of the Court, respecting the recent
nomination of Magistrates for the county.-Itis want Of manners,
shall no, proven, Us from expressing the regret that we have felt, in
no, laying it before our readers. But the fact ir, we have been SO
much pushed for room By the Presidential Election, TINT we weto
compelled to lay il oyer,-as wei! as the Structures Of Fair
Play, on the other side OF the question, on The same subject
We stated this circumstance q few days since, TO the person who ap-
piled for the. MIST is aduty We owe ourselves, now TO state it TO
The Public. We mean to fly into no passion about an attack for
which We care so little, that we haze not asked for q sight Of il.
We can also tell the "Jnstce' for his comfort that we have never laid
aside so many MSS-and what is more, never gave offence to SO many
OF our political friends, by withholding their Communications, as wo
have doac during tho present contest. Could we have obtained hands
to publish three times during the last week, we should have publish
cd.lhe Memorial from the Justices Of Buckingham. As il is, VIC
submit with all the philosophy imaginable, to ,hc yhupera'ion Of the
disappointed author and The angry partzan. We shall give him q
place next week, a 5 well as the Fair Play Critic, whose piece
was received three days otter the Memornl.-We shall all Of
as get cool attsr the E~taion-nnd We seize this occasion TO assure
our olhc. Correspondents that their luhours soshal be forthcom-

advising Inc of my nomination, by the Convention as
scmbIed at King George Court House, for the purpose
of nominating a candidate for this Congressional Dis.
trict at the ensuing election, was received by me on Sa-
turday last; and though duly appreciate the honor
conferred on me by the Convention, | sincerely regret
that some candidate (othcr than myself) had not been
selected, whose acquaintance in the District would be
more extensive than my own; feeling, as do, confident,
there are many from whom such a selection could have
been made, who would be more suited to engage in an
active canvass, and if elected, better qualified TO repre-
sent the District, than myself. For, neither my health nor
pursuits, will permit me to devote as much time in FORM
ing such an acquaintance in the District, as ! consider
necessary 10 ensure success in the undertaking.
And would now, gentlemen, greatly prefer, Gfllerc
be any practicable Tnode.) that the name Of some other
person in the District, belonging TO the Democratic Re
publican party, should be substituted in the place of
mine. If, however, you should consider such a course
at This time would be impolitic, | shall no longer feel
myself at liberty to decline the nomination.
In haste, | am, gentlemen,
Very respectfully your obedient servant,

The Flesh NOTWITHSTANDING

The Wing persists in cOnccaling its flesh marks. The
consequence is, that its pruseiytes are yet uncertain
about the result Of the election. They are most anxious
to believe, that it may be Gen. harrison but, as they
are not acquainted with the flesh marks, they are unable
to pr"nnunc., with any sor, of confidence. For instance,
when Gen. Harrison arrived at Wheeling ON the 22d, on
his rapid tour from Charles City To Cincinnati. ria ph :.

TRUTH against The perrersions IF WHIccERY.

The mispresen,ations OF Mr.. Wharton, alluded 10 in the
following letter, are so gross and shameless, that we
wonder how any man can be so far Infatuated even by
the violence of party spirit, as to reconcile 1t TO his own
feelings TO utter them. Is this the way by which the
Wings expect TO beat us? How dlscreditable would even
a victory BE-, if gained by such mcans!-But they can
not succeed. These Wigs count too much ON the gull
!ibihty and ignorance of the People. They do not de-
serve the insult which is thus Offered to their understand
ings. They are too we'll informed, 10 be deceived by
such e1travagant h%umbugs, as the 9Th OF November Will
duly attest. Thanks to MIR. WIN. Cook, for the generous
and manly effort he has made. We are too well ac-
quainted with his talents, moi 10 know that his ylndica-

BEDFORD COUNTY.
"BEproRD, 25th Oct, 1886.
/" was at Bedford Court on yesterday, and witnessed
the most warm and animated discussion on the subject
of the approaching Presidential election | have ever
heard. II was conducted by John a. Wharton, Esq,
one Of the Wing orators of Liberty, who assailed the
Democratic candidate, Mr.. Van Buren's public and p!l-
vatc character for more than half an hour, in the most
%unsparing manner with many eplllets OF abuse-he de-
clared him utterly unworthy tho confidence or support
of any bvdy: That he was the candidate of the DIcta.
ton party-was attached to, and acted with the Federal
party-against the war, DC ,-declared him a hlgh H.
riff man, ian Abolitionist, an advocate of the U: States
Bank, Missouri Restrictionisl; against MIR. Madison Tor
President, and many other similar assertions. lie assaii'
ed R. NJ Johnson as a practical amalganatIonist, with
much more such abuse. He then exto!led While and
Harrison greatly-ggave a passing-shot at President Jack;
son-his eIectuneering tour to Tennessee, and wound
up by saying, he had much more TO say but iet and saw
the people were tired and impatient.
"Wn. Cook, Esq, who heard all he said, and took
few notes, rose TO reply under obvious detection OF s:pi
rits. He commenced by stating his aversion 10 engaging
in such discussions, declared himself wholly unptePaiea'
and adverted to a very recent family affection, which
unified him for such a task; but declared that The views
and representations of men and measures Just presented
10 the voters of this county, were so glaringly and pal.
