"HEADs UP-SKrEs BRIGHT. The
final returns, which We have at last receiv-
ed, are far more favorable than we had
reason at one time 10 expect, from the
doubling and lrebiing Of the votes Of the
wealthy federal wings in the large towns
who have the privilege, under our present
a1,i-republican Constitution. Of voting in
every county in the State at the same
election, in which they happen to own
land. AS the case stands at present, the
wings have a nominal majority of FOUR
upon joint ballot; from this. deduct the
vote Of GeneralBayly, who will not vote for
Rives, and itleaves them three; from this,
take A. S. Fulton, the Delegate from
Wythe, and>place him on our side, and it
leaves them but one; we are certain Of
gaining one at least in Buckingham, ma
king Democratic majority Of ONE upon
Joint ballot. We shall, in all probability,
gain more than this one, when all the con-
tested seats come to he finally settled. Ally
the staggering and clustering Of The fetE
eral parry about their famous victory,
turns out 10 be mere moonshine. Our BE-
lief is strong that two democratic Senators,

Since our last, the better descriptions, particu-

cent, and it will be seen from our sales below
that two or three lots, amounting to about $50
bales, have been disposed Of at that rate. There

have entered itfor the purpose Of saving ex.
change, accounts in measure for the sudden

account Of past and passing events, as they re-

urged on to the adoption OF this undertaking, by
many of our political friends, who have seen,
rs well as ourselves, the uuscrupulous aud
highly censurable course pursued by our oppo-
nen,s, Which, instead of being marked by hon.
orable and just feelings, ID characterized by
perversion and distortion of well authenticated
facts, and feeling of hatred degrading to hu-
man nature, and to the respect which should be
entertained by citizens of the county, however
wide may the difference be in their political
opinions. This paper will not be betrayed into

expose, in strong language, and with undoubted
