Il IS with the preates, delight that hasten, 10 an
nounce to YOU the glorious and decisive victory achev
ed under the most embarrassing circumstances oy Inc
Democracy of the old Republican county OF D'nwid'
die. Thompson majority over Lewis the wing can
dldate, is 10 or l.. Although this majority may seem
small, when compared with that of our late worthy
delegate Mr. Goodwin over his competitor last year,
yet you must not by any means, suppose that 1t IL a
indication OF the increase Of Whg and consequent
decrease Of Democratic, principles amongst US. FAR
from it. The Democracy OF this old Republican coun-
ty which could once boast her leaders, those pure
patriots and stern Republicans, Peterson Goodwin,
and John Pegam be assured as firm and sleadiasl
in their principles now, rs were their sres 10 The proud
est days Of Republicansm
MANY causes other than that Of an increase of Wing
principles can be reasonably assigned, why there was
so close contest As the first, and prominent Of
them it NAV be stated, well known here that but
few very few OF The farmers of the county, were
forward their crops and That Oh account OF their
back wardness the advanced stage Of the season. and
especially the security rhieh they felt regard 10 Tie
election of Thompson, they were induced TO stay at
home as they done for the last fortnight nd
TO them Many Of such, are known TO your cores
pondent. Even in the immediate circle Of his own
neighborhood, 20 30 Democrats, true and good men
and whose names recorded on Mr.. Goodwin poll
of last year, and indeed, every Democratic cand,-
date poll for the last ten years, remained at home.
Yet If had not assigned tins for small
majority, your known judgment would have upon an
examination OF the polls clearly evinced TO you that i,
occasIoned by some such cause that TO which
have attributed it.
Another of our small ajority, will be found
in the fact that late delegate felt himself from
gent and satisfactory considerations compelled
and did resign but short time previous to the election
We then, al that late hour, obliged 10 bring out
another candidate who could not possibly but
small part Of SO large county, short time; and
thereby render his friends his powerful aid in rayng
every Democrat 10 the polls This reason, too, appears
the convincing, when recollect that Doctor
Thompson, the well kno"n and highly esteemed IN
the upper portion Of the couniy-as his vote at Oar
villes will shows, in the lower section, where |
de- personally known 20 but very few Of our citizens
But will say no more respecting our small majority.
II is sufficient and glory enough for one day, that we
have succeeded under the greatest disadvantages, in
driving back TO obscury the friends OF Whggery and
the foes of Repubcanisn. And can assure you from
what can gather from every Democrat have seen
or heard from, since The election, that if the Wings
should put forth their pretensons again in this
county, the Democracy determined never TO be
caught mapping second time-that they will always
be ready hereafter, betde them what may forward
manfuy aud zeaously 20 support and maintain those
doctrines which have made Virginia and Virgnia's SONS
lllustrious in the history of our Government.
We have sent you, Sir, in the person of Dr. VIM S.
Thompson, disciple of Jefferson one brought up by
his respected and venerable Republican father, to
pouse the peculiar doctrines Of Virginia, they have
been derdingly culled-a young man Of fine talents,
OF unblemshed character, and who will be in the
next General Assembly of Virginia, an honor TO his
county and the State. lie is, be assured of your
half way politicians. He is sternly and uncompro.
misngly opposed 10 the Wing, to use another and
much more appropriate word the Federal party in all
its forms and features. His opposition and hostility 10
u National Observation-Disclosures as a consequence
the reception OF the land money-a Tariff for protec-
tion-lnternal Improvements by the General Govern
men,; a5rogation OF the Veto power and in short
all those other dangerous and unconstitutional doctrines
which have been advocated by the Federal party, from
the organization of the Government down 10 the pre-
sent period, are deepse and Interchangeable
On the other hand, you will find him Jealous and
efficient co-wotker with the Democratic party. He is
with them in principle upon almost every subject that
relates either to the administration Of the Federal or
State Government He is for total separation of the
General Government from Banks; for Tariff for
revenue only for economical administration, both
of the General and State Governments for the pre-
servation of the sacred charter Of Liberties, the
Constitution Of the U. S., unimpared and pure, as
handed down to by fathers and is, at all times,
in favor of raising taxes when considered necessary
redeem the pghed faith of the State and thereby
il from dishonor and disgrace. Such, Sir, the man
have sent you representative in the next &c
neral Assembly of Virginia and knowing that you
are heart, head and hand with US, | congratulate you
upon the event. Yours, respectfully,
a Member Of the Democratic Vigilance Committee
for the County Of Din~iddie.
