comb, eiected by mdjoruy OF - r0tcS.-At Jack
son precinct the Democracy fought mantully: they
rave Lipscomb ut that place alone l25 majority. You,
then Mr. Editor, will say with me, when take into
consideration the and Vaccinations resored 10 by
the Opposition in this county, that It was proud day
for the Republican party. Our county has been re-
Gently flooded with pamphlets OF the Opposition, con-
tanning the most unblushng talsphoods. In fact yes
terday to have heard the would be leaders of the Fee
dera party talking to the uniformed here on the Court
green, one would have concluded that war, peslence
and famine all raging to an alarming extent We
have had Wing orators and missionaries here from East
West, North and South, viz: Rives and his clique Gov
Barbour, Boots and the orator from Rappahannock,
Southa and lastly Mr.. Henry a. Wise, who was not
content TO harangue the people Saturday only, but
when he here, after returning from church, on Mc
Sqbbahhc again addressed the people al the ldrerh
until nearly night. And, in this way, We have been
h0g ridden for the last II months. The Wing candidate
did his cause much usticc-a self made man--person
ally popuar-soothIng III his addreSs-and can beat
any man in the county that side. iIe obtained
many votes who arc decidedly for Van Buren, IN pre-.

GAS have seen an erroneous statement IN the Rich
rnond Wing in regard the election in this county,
feel il a duty due myself, and the community, to state,
as briefly as possible, the result Lipscombs majority
is beyond all doubt fifteen This is somewhat remark
able too when we reflect upon the cXerons made
! by the opposition, and the comparative inactivity OF
the Administration party The foreign vote was brought
to bear upon the el"ctlon,-many from the adjacent
counties came to rive Mr. Melton their aid, bu, il all
would not suicc-thc Republicans Of l.onsa were
not to be beaten in this way: they marched calmly and
coolly the polls, and gave their votes like reemen,
battling for the good of their country. You may now,
with trust assert, that Louisa will be ever Democratic.
She has sustained herself under the most adverse cir
cumsances Documents, pamphlets, extracts from
newspapers all dispersed throughout the county,
for other purpose than to make an impression unta-
yorable to the Administration; but the people were
made of stcrner stuff, they could no! be frightened
from their proprety Mr. Melton, the competitor OF
Mr. Lipscomb, is gentleman of worth, and enjoys
much personal popularity This had tendency 10 di-
minish Lipscombs malorty-many OF whom were op-
posed to Mr. NJ political grounds, felt unwilling to
vote against him, from personal considerations but
enough were out to accomplish the object so much
sought By the aged and venerable Republicans OF Lou
lisa; they came, they saw, they conquered The palm
of victory strcnuously contenGed for by the oppo-
stien: it seems that they at time imagined them
selves in possession Of t-but alas the intelligence came
that they had been weighed in the balance, and found
wanting, which will ever be the in Louisa Lips
comb during the whole canvass deported himself well,
and noby did he meet the charges preferred
against hm-he triumphanty vindcated himself from
the uneeng aspersons of partsans, and satistactorl
" proved that the party with which he is identified,
had been greatly, if not intentionally mlsreprcscnted
have not the time to more, AMI Will conclude by
renarknr that the :d of April, $40, will be
membered by those who witnessed its events in this
county Fathers, future time, will speak OF It
to their sons as great struggle in freedom
many who are now misguided will look back upon il as
the era of their first great political erro-others will
bless the day of peculiar interest and import
ance Gen Harrison will not get large vote il
Louisa as did Mr.. Melton. November next will prove
the strength of parties here, and need fear the
result. The signs of the times are against Harrison

"Our Fluvanna election went of against US, on yes
terday, by an overwhelming ma jorty 1t, however
furnishes no test by which to calculate the Fall vote
MANY voters upon the ground, did not 20 to the polls
because unwilling support the particular Democratic
candidate who stood forth for their surages. Those
who thus withheld their roiccS expressed no dimnu
ton of devotion the good cause; they as firm
ever and eagerly bent upon paying the just tribute
of their respect for present Chief Magistrate by
casting their ballots upon him at the Presidential cleo
ton The two Van Buren, candidates, Wills and Jen

committee composed of equal number of the friends
of each to determine which of the two should be

centrate the Democratic vote, voluntarily surren
