ROCkBRlDGE ELECTION-2 Del.
"The election for Delegates TO the General Assem-
bly, took place this county Thursday last the 18th
inst, and resulted appears from the following state
ment Of the poll the choice of Robert White and Da-
vid E. Moore, Esqs the regular caucus nominees, oy
a considerable majority over their competitor, Corne'
Illus G. Baldwin, who came out as candidate upon
his hook. Although tine day was remarkably hne'
and the farming operations OF the county IN more
advanced safe than usual at this of the year,
the poll was uncommonly thin, and is doubt atrl
butable the fact, that party had resolved as lar
as they were to let the election by default
We had candidates in the field and the large scatter
ne vote which was cast in favor of Messs. Mcdowell,
Cnlton and Caruthers, the result of no concert
whatever the part of the Democrscy-neither gen.
,eman consented under any circumstances that even
pol should be opened for them much less to engage
IN regular contest with the Wings for the honor OF
seat in The General Assembly of Virginia.
The three Wing candidates had the field and all the
fun TO themselves. They respectively addressed the
people at the Court House, and as well as we could
understand Them there did not appear to be any SUD-
,tantal difference, practically considered, between them
All three declared themselves in favor of National
Bank all three for receiving the money to when
Virginia will become entitled under the operation oil the
act distributing the proceeds of the public lands and all
three for adherng to the provisions of the Com
promise Act. Baldwin, it is true expressed himself as
being opposed to distribution constitution grounds
but lie willing to grab the money, his we VS.
upon that subject were as Objectionable the Demo
cratic party as were those Of his competitors.

Withdrawn from the turf at the Nat. Bridge and Co
