II is known to all OF you, that cur worthy fellow.
citizen, Col. John Washington, was unanimously Sc
!eced by meeting Of The Republican party convened
at our last Court, candidate to represent this coun-
~ in the next Legislature of Virginia; and that VIM.
p Taylor, ESQ so long and favorably known as an
intelligent and unfinchng Republican, was, on the
same day, unanimously preferred by delegates chosen
by the several counties composing this Senatorial Dis
trct as candidate for the Senate. II is also known
TO you that the Wings on the same day. selected two
candidates TO compete with ours at The ensuing Spring
election. Their nominations were no doubt conferred
on individuals every way worthy Of the confidence and
support of the Federal Wing party. The nominee for
the House Of Delegates, though novice in the art and
business of canyassng for the suages of the people,
to nd vunce his preensons, has nevertheless been
conspicuous for several years on account OF his zeal
and energy in the service of his party
Mr. Sutton the nominee for the Senate, is truly q
formidable and veteran soldier. He has fought many
battle, and, though no, often victorious still, like his
Magnus APOLLO Harry of the West he seems TO be in
spirited and encouraged by every defeat. No one
could listen 10 his eloquent defamation in the Wing
meeting at the last Court, and not feel that he is pre-
pared TO wage desperate struggle for expiring Wing
rery lIa almost succeeded arousing his Wing
brethren from the apathy induced by the sad reverses
they have experienced.
With these premises, fellow citizens | must urge
upon you the necessity of preparing for The contest
II is in the cause Of liberty and equal rights we are
called upon to do battle. Our opponents active,
jealous and determined, and wholly at war with our
principles and party. Having every thing TO gain,
and nothing TO lose, they will endeavor to excite The
same enthusiasm TINT has sustained them in previous
contests Having been unable TO realize the fruits OF
their nglorious victory in the last Presidential cam
pagn, they seem goaded with resentment end renorse,
and determined to make effort TO regain the
ascendancy, aud elevate Henry Clay to power, and
fasten upon the country National Bank, and oil the
batch of Federal measures concoctcd at the memorable
Extra Session.
But, am persuaded, their efforts and reckless
schemes will prove nnavailing, not only in our county
and district but throughout our State and Union
False predictions and humbugs will more deceive
the honest yeomanry of the country If the Republi-
can party their wonted harmony, and en-
ergy the fate Of the Lord of Ashland is sealed forever
yes, his political is set forever-ing orously set,
to rise no more. The Federal Government will be
wrested from the grnsP of the spoilers, and the wounds
inflicted upon the Constitution, the Magma Charia oil
liberties, will be healed and noble and sacred
institutions restored TO their wonled purity and vigor
Two years ago, the Democratic party were dIsprted
and dsmayed by the prospective overthrow OF Demo
cratic principles and institutions The murky clouds
of Federalism lowered the citadel Of the Conslitu
ton. Scarcely ray of hope light beamed upon our
political horizon. All was dark and uncertain as 10 the
future. The grea, experiment of free government
seemed 10 be threatened with o,isarchy. But few
months had TRANSFERRED before the star of hope began 10
dawn. The elements Of WbiPgery dissolved 10
their original prime Piles. and Democracy gained un-
precedenled triumph. The has entirely changed.
TRUTH soberness and reason gained their empire, and
the permanent OF the great Republican party is
placed under their control.
But must con!ine my remarks 10 our prospects in
Caroline 1t is very certain, that there is decided
majority of Democrats in our county. II is only ne
cessa.y, therefore, That energy and strength should

same Time, give to Mr.. Taylor such majority as will
place his success in the district beyond oil doubt.
