Winchester Virginisn says The state and strength of
parties in the Old Dominion, will not be materially af.
fec,ed by the issue (ofthe late Election). In this county
every interest seemed mainly absorbed in that of certain
local Improvements at present of deep concern to the
community and the Valley generally, and a marked dis
position as it were by common consent obtained, that a
regard to these rather than any question of Federal po.
litcs, should control the election. The result, therefore,
is not looked upon, as indicative, Of public sentiment, on
any question Of general interest before the county
We only require the matter to be properly apprehended,
and as no political victory was sought for in the contest,
truth requires that none be claimed"

TO TIE EDITOR OF n ENQUIRER.
"CaJeN c. H., .4prI 26th.-The warm contest has just
closed here. The Wings brought out their long boosted
champion, Col. Everett, who has sustained a Waterloo
defeat. The exertions Of the friends OF Everett were be-
county, whilst the Democratic candidate was not from
home, among the people at all after he returned from the
Legislature, which was but q few days before the cleo
ton. Col. Everett canvassed the county for about q or
5 weeks before the election, and he is the most famous
eleciioneerer all Of The Wings. The county has gone
for Smith for the Senate, by a majority of votes. The
cause of this, was owing to his personal popularity and
intimate acquaintance with the people of Cabell, having
long praclised in this Court: his manner Of electioneer-
ing was very ingenious. He argued, that he had secured
their land ti,les-which has more influence with a great
portion Of the people of this county than any other hob
by;-and he argued, that il was the interest OF the Peo-
pie of Cabell 10 cleo, him, in order 10 succeed in getting
the great Western Improvement contaminated; Chat is,
the railroadD uniting the Eastern and Western waters,
which must terminate on the Ohio in Ca6ell. He IN.
sisted, that it was the particular request ofthe Board OF
Public Works, and The Western delegation, interested
in tina. great improvement, that he should be returned
to the Senate-direclly inferring, that he was a host in
the cause, &c, &c:-So all this operated seriously 10
the prejudice of Mr.. Thompson, as well as his being
wholly unacquainted in the county, and not having an
opportunity TO be among but q very few of the people
Indeed, il was but a very few weeks before the election
that he became a candidate. SO II IS clearly 10 De per-
ceived, that it is no political test at all Of the county
Be assured, that the county OF Cabell IS decidedly De
mocratic; and ueliev we'd 10 be in favor of an Independent
Treasury, and aginst the present banking system. Mr..
Smith also told the people, that 1t was probable, and
more than likely, that he would vote for VIM. c Rives
next winter for the Senate of the U. s., if elected.
