To John II. Holiday Of Louisa


SIR-You are no doubt aware OF the wishes OF the
Democratic party OF Louisa, that you should become
candidate TO represent them in the next Legislature oil
Virginia The time is at hand when We should. with
out delay, have candidate in the field. There are
other gentlemen spoken Of, who should you become a
candidate, would, it is believed, yield to your preten
sons, and would give you cordial and hearty support
and would thereby unite the Republican party OF Old
Louisa She would again take her stand on the side
of her ancient principles Under these circumstances
it is thought TO be your duty to out at the next
Court, monday and say to the people, whether not
you will serve them if elected Should you answer IN
the affirmative, it will be known that you the
ddate Of the Republican party Ifnot, another course
should be adopted in that event. there would be Sc
veral in the field, whose prctensions, it might be said
BY their respective friends, were equal.
The mode that adopted in selecting Candidate
for the Republican party in 1857 gave general salts
faction to the friends of each Of the then Candidates.
and they gave the hearty support IN fact the
Democratic Candidate obtained larger majority on
that occasion than has been obtained in that county
since. Ihavc seen notice in the Enquirer calling
meeting at February Court for the purpose Of nomi-
mating Candidate. This should be preparatory
meeting, because there would be but few people from
the lower part of the county, (where the Democracy
has the strongest hod they could not be represented
Under these circumstances, the meeting certainly
would not with any propriety, go into nomination
would then suggest that March Court should be the
day to make the selection Therefore, the meeting
should appoint three individuals To take the vote at the
Court house. and three at each Of the Precncts-c-
Their one, might act, the case may be. They
should then meet al the Courthouse compare the vote,
and announce the candidate, accordingly. This is
mode that neither Of the persons spoken Of as candl
dates could object to- In fact il is the only fair way Of
selecting candidate; and, see, how any man,
who calls himself Democrat, wishes a majority 10
rule could object to it. have taken the liberty, thus
publicly to address you, and through you 10 others il
may concern. OLD DOMINION.

THE ELL LOST.


The two last days have been principally devoted in
the House Of Delegates, upon the Potomac Freder-
icksturg x Richmond Railroad Billiard we regret to
state, that after long debate yesterday, it rejected
on lis 2nd reading, BY vote of 81 TO 41.-Ths bill was
intended guarantee on the part Of the State the
OF about Ss5G0G3, TO be borrowed By the Company,
for the purpose OF making Railroad from Fredericks-
burg 10 the mouth OF Aqua Creek, on the Potomac
river, about thirteen miles from Fredericksburg
Ih's Ink IS necessary to complete the communi-
cation BY steam, from the North to the South 1t is
intended 10 take the place of the present road from
fredericksburg the North of Potomac Creek, about

CURES FUR hours TO transport passengers and the mail
~ the Potomac Creek. 1t proposed, if the Railroad
had been completed, to keep the Potomac open at all
times, By means of ice.cut;ers.
We view the decision of the House, with feeling Of
modification, which cannot very we'll express. For
our own part, We would rather the State should raise
oil The money! and complete the Improvement, on her
own account. Our State pride, interest, every
consideration conspire to urge it on. 1t is the only
INK that will be wanting to complete steam commu
hcation irom Augusta, IN Georgia, to Maine-and
marx that Ink IS in Virginia. When the citizen
from other States descends the Potomac, and lands
upon our territory, and then has 10 be dragged

burg, how We bear to hear him exclaim AGAINST

pete, hnt Virginia IS too poor IN spirit or in purse 10
finish this solitary link Oar own interest TOO requires IT,
As this link is complete il invites travellers and
makes the rest OF the road profitable the State
The State had better assist in completing the road, and
lay on Toll Of 30 cents land reduce it afterwards to

IL Is not too late to reconsider the oueston We
sna blush for the State, If from any little, unworthy
consideration, this great work is to be defeated In the
name OF the glory and Of the interests Of Virginia,
trust that something may be done for it and that this
session., during which much has been said and SO
Aile has been done may not pass away without strk-
ing one stroke for the improvement of the State
Some may be cast upon for speaking in this
srain bat dare to risk any reprouches 70: the good
OF the Old Dominion.
We pray, therefore, for reconsidcration-and we
also pray, that the Legislature would dispense with
some Of the onerous restrictions which the dis
carded bill proposed to lay upon the Company.
