given OH either side at the Presidential election in

Cen Bayly is reelected under the pledge to

In Wythe County wing is elected, under a
pledge to vote for Democratic Senator ifhs coun-
tv gives Democratic majority in November-and
this is confidently expected We have therefore
placed him in the Democratic column.
The election ofBuckingham, Caroline, Hanover,
Spottsylvania and Powhattan (returning six men,
bers) will be contested by the Democrats. And
in the counties Of Buckingham and Caroline, send
Ing three members, with sure prospect Of sue
cess. Parties would then stand 6S Democrats, G6
Eederalists, which will secure the election of two
Democratic Senators. Thus il will be seen tina,
we have large majority of the popular vote, and
have better prospect of electlng our U. S. SenA-
tors than we had at the close Of the contest last
year

Throughout the whole of South Alabama the d
mocracy is beginning to move. The real log CT
in boys are coming to the rescue-not your dam

THE FEDERALpLAN OF OPERATIONS.

We stated, in our Sauiatory, that IL agreed among
the leaders Of the opposition that every edernst who EN-
ploy amy number of operatives should reduce their
gc and declare that the administration cndenvoring
to reduce the wages of labor. Aud below follows small
portion Of the proof Of our assertion;
The rdcrasts in the Of Springfield Mass sent out
handful on the 2jth of March, which was hcaicd-"NO
REDUCTION or WAGEs"-accusing the Admnistra-
ton Of opposition aud cnmty to the interests of the labor
Ing classes &C. &c On the 18th of April just month
after, the federal proprieors of the Chckopee, Caboyille,
aud Perkins Mills REDUCED TIE WAGES OF THEIR
OPERATIVES TWENTY FIVE PER CENT.
The same pursued all over the Union
Thc best evidence that the Presidency of Mr. Van Buren,
will end with his first term is the remark in the mouth Of
every loco oco yo meet that he il not their choice for
President One cannot talk ten minutes with of the
party but this remark will escape from him. II shews
there is nothing hearty in the support given to him. On
the other hand the advocates of Old Tippccanoe all en-.
thusasm When such difference exists in the support
given the two candidates. who doubt the rcsat"rt
UaichHan.
The proceeding extract contains another Of those
subycrsons of the tIulhwith which the Anti-Rcform
papers of Vermont are filled. Mr. Van Buren, is
now unanimously the choice of the democratic par
ty, that it was thought needless to 90 through the
ceremony of a regular nomination. Not democrat
ic papcr-not democratic freemen in the whole
Union has disscn,ed since his denomination, and
yet the federal papers attempt to make the people
of Vermont believe that he is not the choice of the
democratic party
Carron is sometimes thrown out to draw blood
hounds from the true scent. In this case, TO draw
attention from the dissatisfaction which is known
TO be felt in the federal party, at the nomination of
Gen. Harrison the federal papers arc declaring that
Mr. Van Buren, is not the choice of the democratic
party.
To show that this statement is correct we beg
attention 10 the following extracts from Harrison
papers:
The Columbus Enquirer, (whig) says:
"Should the contest eventually be between Gen
Harrison and Mr. Van Buren,, and we be forced TO
choose, we have no hesancy in saying that we
will sustain the latter"
The Boston Courier (whig) says:
awe moreover doubt whether much would be
gained TO the community by exchanging Mr. Van
Buren, for any other man.
The New York Gazette, (whig) SAYS:
The national convention has closed lis labors at
Harrisburg, and the result i. the election of VIM.
