Our prospects for the November Election, as we
hear from various quarters and various sources etcrs
and verbal account) since the election are very cheer
ing. Our friends ronsIng and armIng itttei
from Hampshire assures us, that though we nave oeeh
beaten by the foreign vote, and various causes whch
will operate in the FALL she will be right side up IN
November. From Southampton are told, that 1t
twill go for Van Buren, in the Fall by an overwhelming
vote. From Amelia, EVAN Buren, will beat HARRISON
from 40 to 30 votes In Essex weh have clearly gained
some very intelligent and rejecting men; men, VINO

reasons for the "aPparen small vote IN Brooke county

posiccly allege will vote right on the general qnes-

200 greater majority Our friends at distance
may rely on this.

Federalism shall not rule if she can help it, and she can
carry the day for Democracy in Virginia next fall IL she
will" 1t ridicues the idea that there has been Wing
in that great county since the last Presidential Elec-
ton and says "There has not been Wing gam OF
in the county since that time, but understand, there
| has been quite Democratic gain since then. we 90
not believe the Wings will poll as many votes IN tins
county next fall they did at the last Presidential cleo
ton and for the simple reason, that hummer oil wings
have removed, and others who remain Will not vote Tor

! CORRESPONDENT of the Petersburg Statesman rdl-
cues the idle vaporng of the Intellgencer and says:
ain great many instances the Wings have gained by
slim maiorities and in nearly all the counties surround
ing towns where they have gained the same persons
gave the maiorities in each Here it is they calculate
without their reckoner. Whereas, the counties of Sus-
SEX Prince George, and CHESTERFIELD alone, can poll
enough Democratic votes TO counterba!ance some Ten
or twelve other counties IN which the wings nave
gained We could cite Others bnt think these suhcen'
to show the foundations upon which the Wings IN CON
nivance build their hopes and would deceive others.
We think we have said enough to email the assertion

ern States may pretend to give deceptive estimates
from the late returns-but il is all humbug II sets
down the late vote the effective vote OF our large
Democratic counties, where they not called
out In Harrison, Monongalia, Shenandoah, Rock
CHAM and Page where, for instance, we shall pro-
badly have from 800 to 1900 majority at the least.
a. gain: it sets down the vote of Wing counties,
&c where there has either been opposition, or no
timely, efficient competition to call out our vote-as IN
Richmond and in Campbell and Pittsy vana. (See Mr..
Ayres letter from Patrick, for illustraton We have
not met with single Democrat who doubts our carry
nr the State BY considerable orty. But we have
an opponent deal with, who is determined desperate
and reckless. Let then Orga7ic, organize Let the
County Committees meet and organize forthwith The
Committee in Scott county organized before the late
Electon-and among other resolutions adopted the fol-
lowing:
"Rssolred That gentlemen be ap-
pointed discuss publicly the county, the prnci-
Piles and in issue between the Republican and
Federal parties, when ii shall be deemed cxpedent, for
the promotion of Republican principles, and OF the in
tcrets of the Republican candidates for the Presidency
and Vice Presidency; and that the said gentlemen are
hereby requested to meet the gentlemen, IN public DIS
CUSTOM that may be sent here from Abingdon else
where to enghtcn the people OF this county and 10
urue the claims of the said Federal candidates

and Shankland along with Is assoclaes were desig-
mated to carry out this resolution.

Rockingham County,
"s il not tme fellow Citizens, that we were IN the
1 field; that we assuming the arm0T and the atti'
tudc of defence: Have not the Opposition already as
semLled in force and will they not seize the high evan
tage grounds if possible, whence they may hurl the
deadly missiles their deceptive and mendaclous hand
bills and pamphlets: Already it sad they have ec
every "nook and corner of the county with these do
cnments, both in the English and German languages
And is it not to be feared that they may mislead some
of our inconsidcrate and unwary friends: VIII IT be
said that the Wings do not calculate on taking the De
mocratic county Of Rockingham, and that therefore
they will not make strenuous efforts to increase thc
strength and numbers But this is most mistaken
calculation. They we'll know, that, under the genera
ticket systcm every vote tells upon the whole election
and that all the votes they can gain from our ranks
will in that proportion increase their own and dmiist
orr strength Let recolect impressvcly , that !
Rockingham can give large Democratic majority a

where the parties closely divided. You see, then
fellow. citizens that it Just important that we shout
take pains to secure large majority i'll this coun

the standard Of cherished Democracy, and make
bold fight with the Whgs--a party held togethe
by no common principles; but tied together by tn
single bond of hatred to the present ADM nistraton
and stimulated by Unsuitable hunger for the spoils
Office which they think the Democratic party have Blu
too long enjoyed. Let US then assemble in Harrison
burg, on the first day of the May Court and organic
ourselves for the contest, which, although hope blood
less vet it obvious, will be fought on the part
the Wings with more heat, and clustering and reckless
ness than has been witnessed since the foundation
of the government. That it may be known who con
