The information from Madison and more confirms
the opinion that the of keeping open the polls in tina,
county and Greene the eject of which TO subject the
counties OF Orange, Abcmarc, Nelson, Amherst and Bed
ford the will of those small counties, was grossly H.
legal violently unjust abhorcny anti. Republican and
equal and practically fraudulent 1t reflects upon all who
had hand in it, and although paTtizan Congress may
sustain IT. will be recorded in the public opinion of Viz
gina as transaction which soils her cscutcheon, and in
vades old reputation OF love for fair play and magma
nimiiy.
The Peoplc of Madison and Greene are opposed to us
politics and will be apt to treat with indifference not
with contempt, any thing may say; but were THEY
wuns and wing had been elected under such circun-
stances wo would call upon them regard rather the pub.
lie opinion their fellow citizens, than pay and empty
party triumph: for having been "cvory inch Whg with

Mr. Gilmer liable be every inch something else by the
time Congress would call upon them il they
Wines, demand the abdicauon OF the member so
suspciousy elected and make another appeal to the
Polls. This is the true REPUBLICAN way-and if De-
mocracy means a refined and excrucnting species OF
Repubcanism this is the true Democratic way too.

As a Wing member or less in Congrcss, il is not
Of the least Public Party consequence. The Democratic
party will have majority there and IRISH them have
IT, We had far rather they should have the responsibility of
the balance of Tyer's Administration, and have deal
with his exquisite conscience and his ncorgble stupd
". than the Wings. We have purpose of getting
Wing member simply because he is Wing, in the appeal
we make to the People OF Madison and Greene There is
an extensive abiding, and neradicabe belief the Public
mind that the acquisitions OF the law and the principles OF
Fair play have been violated by Madison and Grcene-
Such things familiar depaved quarters of the United
States but they novel in Viginia-what
the whole District throw off this stigma, and relinquish
ing all Tending and proving and scorning take advantage
OF clubbing o. techuicay, make another direct and
manly appeal the POLLS and the voice Of the mao
rity The effect doing will be obtcaie the impress
son that Virginia has been invaded by New York tactics
and that her old straforward, law loving and manly pnc
pies action have been suppaned by modern degeneracy
Ii Mr.. Gilmer will into this pan it were easy
enough him resign and compel him acquicsce
The Charlottesville Advocate furnishes new evidence
from Madison follows:
