TO THE WHO'S Or TIE SENATORIAL DIS
TRICT composed a ihs eonRtts Of Hanorer Fy,srcn.
M, Louisa and G0GehiaHd
Fellow Citizens. AT n meeting OF the Who's NJ
Hanover held at the Court House on January
Court day, delegates were appointed TO attend a
Convention TO be held OF Louisa court hosse for the
purpose Of nominating candidate for the seat in the
Senate about TO become vacant hy the expiration
OF the term OF The present Senator from this District
MIR Font'ine, and II was recommended to the Other
counties of the District to act in concert with them
and TO appoint day on which the sold convention
might assemble. IL seems, however, that they
have failed TO respond TO that call as they should
have done, and that no other delegates have teen
appointed; and the election day IS rapidly an
preaching, and the time in which the candidli.
should be earnestly prosecuting the canvass, is d-
minlshng every day, It Is probable that no con-
ven;ion will be held, and that we will have no
Wing brought out TO oppose the Locofoco Who
was nominated yesterday at Jackson's; ard tia, lie
will be permitted TO go over the course without
opposition, unless some gentleman will come out
and offer his services TO the Disirici-or, unless,
fellow citizens, you will unite upon some one who
may be brought 10 your notice through means of
the public journals. Ard here let me, nv fellow
citizens, urge UPON you the proprety and necessity
of always bringing out candidate on every occa-
sion on which you have the privilege of exercising
the right OF suffrage. Never permit your oppo- |
nenis TO carry the day without contest; for Won /
may depend upon It, that nothing, in so great |
degree dampers the ardour and deters the progress
OF political party as 10 see opponent returned
when they have offered no resistance. Better I'M
dergo two defeats and have done your best, than
but one, and have submitted ismely 20 il, and re-
NAMED entirely inactive. One can never gain
prize if he never contends for il. Believe me- fell
low citizens your rule should he always 10 do your
best TO defeat your opponents; and If you TAIL, not
TO give up IN despair, but 10 hope for better fortune
time, and return 10 the attack with redoubled
vIgor No one ever yet gained any thing by giving |
way 10 despondency-and no ore ever yet perse-
vered IN attempting 10 attain object who did not
at length sufmount all difficulties, and succeed. |
have made these remarkf, fellow citizens, not I've
cause | have for q moment thought that there was
any prospect Of our being beaten II we made any |
effort 10 prevent u, but because feared les, the
same apathy which has deferred you from forming |
convention, might extend itself still further and
cause you think Il needless TO exert yourselves
at all m the approaching election. If you will |
but &C, with unanimity and zcal-if YOU will |
but exert yourscyeso bring about the election Of
Wing Senator from the district you will |
most certainly be successful, and you vii then have
achieved victory worthy cf you The present
state Of eflirs renders neccssory-absolutely ne
cessaTy, that tie Wings Of Virginia should s,rn;n
avery nerve should use every possible effort 10 OBJ
tain majority 10 the next session Of the eeisla
ture; Tor perfectly evident by the present eours,
OF the Editor Of the Enquirer, who is the leader md
director Of the Locofoeo party in the Legislature
that If they have "a majority, Virginia would be Il.
priyed Of her quota Of the fund which Compress

which, we would be able 20 pay Of, in the course
Of time, that debt which has been almos, epiireiy

and every thing else that is honorable, now .ndea.
