In this county, according to the Abingdon
Virginian, no poll was opened at one Precinct
where there would have been so Wing and 3

this alone, the Wings lost the majority in the

Mr.. Cowan, the Delegate elect, pledged
himself to represent the majority of his con-

The Musical Department of the Ladies Conpa-

ton, and has been looked upon with no little in
terest by its readers, and more especially the La
dies, whom the publisher is anxious to please. 1t
will continue to be subject of more than usual
care to him, and to the Professor under whose SUI
pervison it is placed, to make that portion of the
magazine deserving Of the countenance of every
lover OF music.
Tde Work IN General. Of every department an
equally careful supervision will be strictly exer-
cised by the Editors, and all appropriate expendi-
lures will be literally bestowed, it is the de-
sign Of the publisher, with the aid of his contribu
tors and the advice of his friends to make the La
dies Companion distinguished for the beauty and
accuracy of its typography, the variety and high
tone of its literary articles the quality and value
of its music, and the unequal splendor of its pic
toral embellishments and the accuracy of its quar-
terly fashions The proprietor pledges himself to
use all honorable means to maintain the superiori-
ty which the Ladies' Companion has obtained.-
For five years he has steadily pursued course Of
improvement, and he iatters himself that his pre-
sent facilities are such as to give the work eminent
advantages over ali other publications

within the range Of Bellies LettreS and the Fine
Arts: and no exertions or expense will be deemed
too great to render the work equal to any other
extant. The fattering and general testimonials
of nearly every contemporary journal in the United

claims of the ladies' Companion to the support Of
