ROCKINGHAM Co., May q, $40.
The following invitation challenge was issued
from our press and in the form of hanGbs dated May
9th, 1s4O "Gen. Brscoe G Baldwin, the Elector of
the Wing party for the Augusta District is expected
to address the people of Rockingham, on the Pres-
dental question, the first day Of the May Court at

the Rockingham District, is very respectfully invited
attend and take part in this public discussion: and
any other and all other who may deseire to re-
ply to Gen. Baldwin. In addition to the Wings, the
whole Van Buren, party earnestly requested to at
tend By THE WIG COMMITTEE.
This challenge, thus openly and publicly made, the
Democratic party deemed it their imperative duty to
meet in the best manner they could and especially as
Gen. Baldwin presumed to be the champion of the
Wing party in this section of Virginia, from his hay
ing been chosen the Wing Elector in the district IN
which he resides We thought necessary to procure
if possible, one of our strongest men 10 meet
him. Indeed from the broad and aofty challenge they
gave Gen. Baldwin's friends must have supposed him
equal, nay, than equal to any one that could pro-
badly be brought into the field of controversy drawn
from the Republican ranks. We Immediately fixed our
eyes on the Hon VIM. Smith of CulPePer county, and

SaRAToGA, MAY 2Oth. $50.

Gentemen:-I avail myself of the first opportunity
to respond 10 your letter of the 18th inst, informing
''of the desire of the Democratic Republicans Of
Prince Edward TO sustain at the next Congressional
Election. In presenting myself, candidate 10
represent this district, in the 9th Congress- was well
of the arduous duties to be performed, and of
my inability to acqut myself in worthy Of
the cause in which have embarked. But in criti
cal copjuncturc of public affairs, should put aside
personal considerations, and devote energies how
ever humble they may be, TO the maintenance of the
Federal Constitution, in lts pristine purity and sedu-
lousy guard our State Institutions and protect
vested rights. Indeed, We have too much to ap-
pehend great and serious innovations, when we behold
the 'AllItary Cheiain, the avowed candidate OF
the Wing party, for the Presidency only shrouded
antiquities but, TO the least OF it, implicitly
couraging the dread spirit of Fanacism TO aid in his
preierment and So 10 that extent, giving connenance
to those mistaken dcsperadoes, who would involve the
entire South in desolatlnn and boodshed rather than
not effect their mad purposes. But, there are BESIDES
many other deeply interesting Subjects apart from the
renzed eofts of the AbolitIonsts, which demand our
undivided attention and mature consideration.
The early disposition manifested BY the Democracy
of Prince Edward, TO vndicate their principles, and
sustain the great and glorious of the people,
against the proean assaults of black cockade Federal
ISIS and John Adams supporters is anspicous of future
success, and cannot fail to excite elsewhere the
lation of their political brethren The times eminent.
ly demand energy, activity, and untnchng devotion
the support of our long cherished Democratic State
Rights, Republican principles Entertaining these IN
pressons, it will give great satisfaction to aid them
far my poor ability will permit.
In conclusion, pray you, individually, to accept
my grateful Acknowledgements for the very friendly
in which you conveyed to me the intentions Of
the Democratic Republicans of Prince Edward
Very respectfully,
Your obi. scrvt.,
