| "Messrs. Editors A full statement of the polls IN
this county, forwarded you the night nj
the election day Only $50 majority for Walter Coles
is too bad considering that he opposed by an out
and out Clay Federast But the vote on both sides was
thin and majority Of $50 out of aggregate vote
OF 900 would not be very bad in any other county on
the South SIDE; but for old Halifax and for such re-
preventative as Walter Coles $50 is loo bad But we
hope tina, franklin will back US manluly, and enable
us to triumph over the Wings and mongrcIs Of The
District.
| The poll of Edmunds afinrds gratifying common
tary upon the efforts of the Wing leaders INN
down with the Tax Bill If he could have addressed
the people at every precinct, methinks Wing or
mongre IN the county, would ever again attempt to
make political capital out Of that BILL The insulting
bid of thirty thousand dollars for the vote OF cid
Virginia He addressed the people al the court house
Mount Laurel, Republican Grove, and Iii gh EiH-ahd
his poll at each OF those places gives evidence OF The
mastery manner in which he sustained himself and
his course. In contrasting the Tax bill tic support The
credit md honor of the Siae, with the Tariff 10 pro
the manufacturing monoposts at the expense Of lie
rest OF the community has illustrations were so pan
that ga negro could have understood them, and cutting
enough 10 blancl the braZen face of Whiggery itself
We have 10 regret that he could find time
and opportunity address The people Of every precinct
IN the county. If he could have done So our uggre
gate VOTE instead Of being only about G50 would have
exceeded 900 and Coles majority instead Of $50
would have exceeded 500.
The contest between Medley and Stovall was con
Quoted in manner becoming Democrats, running
against each other. So lar as know believe, II has
left no I'll feelings between their respective friends
awe are mortified at the small vote given al Barks-
dale's store, Church Hal, and Brandon's. Those
neighboihoods not canvasseG, and OF our
friends stayed at home aud planted corn, instead o.
gong 10 the polls. Tie weather has thrown behind
hand III pitching our crops, aud the pressure OF these
bard tunes constrains every provdent planter and far
to redoube his efforts make the soil minister 10
his necessities and comforts
"Would not other month suit better than April,
for our elections? Think of that beseech you-and
come out upon the subjec, the Enquirer. The ga
therng season would be better than The planting
son. But there IS more important consideration than
that, which ought to Influence every who goes for
fair play, IN favor Of holding elections at later
period OF the year. Our elections now, TOO
soon after the sessons of our Legislature Many of
people cannot vote understandingy, upon men or
measures-because they have time to learn the ma
ture and tendency of the adopted, nor the
acts and principles Of the asking votes when
We are called upon 10 vote Think Of this, | again
beseech you, and come out upon the subject, in the
| Enquirer.
