gress Mr.. Goggn is making in the business Of "bead-
ing Gov. Gllmer and the Democracy OF the District
The Governor, far, has rather made capital out of
his compe .itor's witnesses. With the Charlottesville
Jeffersonan would advise Mr.. Goggin to take the
dispositions of John Hampden Peasants and young
gentleman in Abingdon. They know, or profess to
know all about the "frauds" in Madison and Greene,
though one of them was one hundred miles, more or
lees and the other something like three hundred miles
from the scene Of action
Mr.. Goggin having objected to the poll at Rapidan
precinct Madison the ground, that the poll keep
ers not sworn, Mr.. Gimer has determined TO OBJ
ject 10 Mr. Goggns entire poll in Bedford Albemarle
and Nelson, on the same ground. The poll keepers IN
these counties not legally soorn and if Mr.. Cog
gins objection good against Mr. Gimer, it will set
aside the whole vote in the Wing counties Of Bedford,
Nelson and Albemarle Gov. G. also objects TO all
double rotes and it will be that OF these have
already been proved by the Wing Witnesses. he OBJ

not RIGA roee-[many were given fer him by
means of printed tiekets]-ahd to other palpable vo
rival of the Sherf-closing them too soon at some
places, and keeping them open at others after candle
light. We predict, that our worthy friend Gog9in-
vho has doubtless been very badly advised by his
friends in this malter-wil not prosecute the contest
