I95, Mcdowell 3l4. The Valley Star says, at would
appear from these returns that the cause OF Wggery
is on the since the last Spring and Fall cleo
tons; and If It truly represented the relative strength
of parties here, the old Republican county Of Rock
bridge she was known in former days, might be set
dow rrctreyaby lost to the Democracy of Va It's
however indsputaby true, and il is consong to know
H. that essential changes have taken place III the po-
ca sentiments OF the people since the periods above
referred 10, and the unusual and heavy majority which
is thus reported against us, may be satisfactorily
counted for upon nm entirely different hypothesis AT
the spring and fall elections Of s4O the Wing ma ori-
~ in The first instance about o0-in the latter, it
did not exceed l07-and it is generally believed that
upon as fill vote at this time the result would not
materially differ from the other OF those
amounts But the late election vas small one,
many of our Democratic friends, informed, re-
fused 10 come the polls assigning reason, that
struggle however CALAMITY conducted on their part,
would only result defeat, and as their preparations
for Spring crop unusually backward, they could
not afford TO lose their time in improbable contest
AS regards The Democratic candidates, It proper
to say justice them, that they absolutely refused
10 engage in n regular canvass, and only consented
(most reluctantly, we known to permit poll TO be
opened for them few days previous TO the election.
The which they received cannot therefore, be re-
garded either test Of their popularity or Of The
strength Of the Democracy Of RuckbrIdge."

BOTETOURT.
awe have met the enemy Of equal rights, and truly
they are ours We have just passed through scene
of political intrigue and Federal deception in this
county, which have been unaccusomed TO, and
which has recoiled upon the actors in almost the same
breath in which it sprung upon u.s. We are mol
dSposed to descant upon Federal receptions but JUS
tce to the of popular rights and our own party
requires hands that should not let pass I'M
noticed. 1t will be remembered that the Democracy
of Botetour held meeting at the March Court and
nominated John NJ Robinson, Esq., as their candidate
for the lie legislature The Federal Wings took excep-
tons 10 the nomination. and invited different gentle
men of the Republican party 10 take the field in OPP
position TO Mr.. Robinson. In this they tailed-the
party was too we'll united 10 yield to Wing Hat
tery They then commenced concocting plans To
defeat MIR. Robinson BY their own strength-they
held two caucuscs kept their proceedings secret hed
on, the idea they would bring out opposition their
MANAGERS were riding in every direction telling Tie
Democrats there would he no opposition to Mr. H. and
that il was useless for them 10 come to the polls, ana
in the mean time warning every Wing TO be at his post
on the day of,he Election The game thus secret
ly PLAYED upon US, until the Friday before Inc elecloh,
and the Democracy were completely lued and mac
tive Col Thos Shanks was then sprung upon us as tic
Wing candidate with the understanding that he would
take no part in the election campaign But so as
their plans were partially developed, the Democracy
became roused the intelligence was hernlded 10 every
part of the county, and many who did not design COM
ing out were their posts. Every means were useo TO
excite prejudice agains: MIR. H. on local questions
Col Shanks took the stump and made speech on the
d,y of election. But it all would not do-Old Bote.
tourt could not be caught nappng-her unterrlhed
Democracy .nly need to know that they are wanted
when their principles in danger and their rights
invaded Truly we can say that Federalism IS on the
wane and Democracy in the ascendant, as will be seen
| from the following state Of the polls
