TO CARTER NJ. BRAXToN, Esq
Sir AS you have been travelling through the us
trct for time past, we are sure that you mus. o
convinced that your prospect for being elected 10 Con-
gress under existing circumstances, IS gone. we are
sure that man possessing your intelligence II You
possess the discernment we believe you DO, must see
the hopeless prospect before you Sir, IT you would
consult your future interests, there IS but one aiterna
tive and that is, to withdraw from the canvass; LOT
every day longer you continue in the field, you are II
we may use the expression, digging your political
grave We your political friends, ana we wonid
have cheerully supported you, had you received the
nomination of the Croxtons Spring Convention; Out,
Sir. this you failed to dove mean the majority
nomination, not the minority You have accepted
minority nomination. which is calculated TO de-
feat the very object of Conventions. We are De-
mocrats, and we mean to support II. NJ. l. nun
ter: and we are sure that the Democrats throughout
the District will unite with US in sustaining him. We
believe that Francis w Scott the choice Of the
District. His efforts in the late contest were OF vital
Importance and assure you, Sir that he IS too mnch
Of Republican to have accepted minority nomina-
ton. We WILL for your further consideration tel you,
Sir that we conscentiousy believe that you Will not
get fifty votes in the county of Caroline, where we vote
eight or nine hundred and we doubt very much II you
get thirty. In the upper part OF hing william,
where we have been three fonrhs OF the voters WIZ
vote against you. We believe that Hunter Will get
more than both of his competitors together, and
We are sure that you will be distanced; and agreeable
the rules Of racing, you will have to leave the track
What modification 1T must be to you, Sir, you con-
tnue TO canvass TO hear at the close of the polls that
YOU have not received in the whole District, two hun
bred votes! We believe, from information from va
rious quarters, and own knowledge OF the vote OF
our county, that you get two hundred votes IN
the District. We now appeal to our Democratic ore-
thren and all State Rights Wings to concentrate their
votes upon h. NJ. T. Hunter We believe he will
stand by the principles of Virginia and maintain the
doctrines Of % and 99-and especially appeal all
voters in the District, who opposed to National
Bank, 10 vote for r. NJ. T. Hunter for, if the Wing
candidate should perchance be elected to Congress,
his first object would be 10 repeal the Sub-Ireasury-
Although he says he is opposed to Bank who doubts
bnt what those wise heads would induce him to go Tor
National Bank Indeed, he said that he should leave
il to wiser heads than himself to chalk out substitute;
and can any man doubt that those wise heads are Clay,
Webster, and others, who all know or believe
would desire National Bank?
In conclusion, let again appeal to our political
friends throughout the District the proprety OF re-
lnqushing their prejudces against MIR. Hunter and to
cast their votes for him. His course heretofore has
been Objectionable TO u.s. and never have supported
him; but his principles such approve and we
will support him at this Election. At the Needwood
precinct where we vote from hundred to one hun
dred and fifty and give Democratc majority, we do
not know one vote that Mr. Braxssn will get. We re-
spectfuy submit these hasty lines have thrown to-
eether to our Democratic friends throughout the Dis
trct TO save their and give their cooperation
MANY VOTERS OF CAROLINE.
