FOR rHE E.vqUiRER.
Since Mr. Wises confirmation, the people Of this
county have looked only 10 Judge Bayly to represe n,
them IN Congress. But all occasions heretofore he
has resisted their cashe has begged to be excused
lie has represented 10 them The peculiar position III
which he is placed; they would listen TO excuse
the more he resisted, the more they impo'trned a
large meeting of the people called, and IN that
meeting were persons who never before mingled po.
ca assemblies. A committee was appointed to so!l-
cit Judge Bayly be candidate and his reply to the
meeting of his friends will accompany this husty COM
munication; ADD by you will that he has, ut the
sacrifice Of high and honorable Office, obeyed their
call He has, with a magnaniuous disregard Of his
personal feelings and Interests, consented to be their
candidate: and can there be found IN the district q
friend of Democracy, who VIII not hal this annunciaon
with pleasure ard who will not buckle on his and
rush 10 the battle with ardor, and enthusiasm, that
will to any cause: Circumstances over
which he has contro as will be seen by his letter,
sill prevent hi, IN some degree IRON canvassing the
district thoroughly could be desired; and this IS
much 10 be regretted, for, able and popular de-
batter he has few or no supsrlors. Being thoroughly
acquainted with all the great political questions that
agitat,ng the country. he possesses IN emf
nen degree both the ability and the tact to present them
Ia clear and forcble light TO the people. Nor can
there be any one found better qualified TO expose the
dangerous doctrines of the Feds. He knows the cum
ming sophstry by which they supported, ard he has
the nerve and the ability to expose them on all proper
occasions The Federasts of the district dread him
only They know his abil,ty-they know his popular
ty-and, buster and boast as they may, they know
that, with him for their competitor, the district IS lost
u them. Accomack once ranked among the Federal
counties Of the State. Where now d. you end herr
SIDE b. side with Matthews, Northumberland and
Others, IN the support of Democratic principles Who
has brought this about 1t cannot be denied, that 10
JUDI Bayly mainly belongs the honor ofhlving brought
about this glorious change The people of this county
are warmly and devo,edy attached to hm-and never,
on any occasion, have they manifested more eager de-
sire 10 rec I'd their votes his favor than on the pre-
sent. There will be unanmity among them such as
has seldom been known before. Gentlemen from every
section of The county in saying, that he must
receive at least three fourhs OF the votes poed the
county; and if the information received from North
amp,on be correct, the Wings have but little to hope
from that quarter Noble spirits at work there, and
revolution has begun tina; hand can stay They
nobIy sustained Wise in the last election, and cannot
no be doubted, that they will greatly aid in placing in
the councils of the nation ga Of elevated princi-
PIES of eminent talents beyond any other man Of my
acquaintance fitted to succeed Wise, and TO grace the
House OF Representatives.
4 word IN relation to county election. Poulson
and Scabrygh are the Democratic Candidates for the
Legislature. Two better abier men could not have
been selected. They have already entered upon the
canvass with 4 zeal and earnestness that must ensure
success 10 our cause Mr. Scatburgh addressed the
people at Bell Haven yesterday with great ability and
effect We in high spirits and although we expect
warm contest, we fear not the result.
