Rlmos had reached about the struggles OF several
Candidates in the counties of Caroline Chesterfield and
Louisa. The proceedings from Caroline, which we lay
before readers this morning show that The Repuoi
ear party have rallied upon of their wheelhoses,
Col Samuels; and tina, Col. Washington Qhc late re-
,oe,,ed Dcegael and Mr. Ira White have, with that
public spirit which distinguishes every patriot al this
lrentiu period, promptly acquesced in the nomination
and withdrawn from the canvass Thanks to them 1t
was hat we had right to expect from these gentle
na,-From Chesterfield, we are informed, that ALL is
aao wELL-"that the clouds Ito the words OF our
Cor-espondent) which for while seemed fraught with
ln.er have nearly all passed away-that The people
v select their candidate at March COURT and all the
sen:lcmen whose names are oeiorc US lot our
save one have personally declared their intention TO
,bi!e me nomination. The exception referred to is Mr.
Blankenship aud feel authorized, from my intimacy
with him. TO say that he is always ready to sacrifice his
own interests for the public good"
Ana what shall we say of old Louisa! Stu m log
sill. Distracted BY asprdnts-and our own trends
aarmed h, Our divisions and the Wings chucking at
the prospect of slipping in Wing. Two attempts
have been made to concentrate the parties and select
one ctadiiate-but the meetings have broken up in
narl il not in a row. We ask the Democracy OF Lou
ia: we ask her two candidates, is this well Does it
look well; Are men, whose friends are thus struggling
FOR tc petty advancement of their favores calculated
10 advance The great cause which are all devoted
!, This ambitious spirit suitable to the tines The ship
i, danger. The Wings are striving 70 win the State
They avow that every where will they make battle
every where will they profit by our schsms [hey are
determined if they can carry the State And is 1t
.; lime like this, tina, we are TO be distracted oy
petty contc,ts-and in so decided Republican
county as Louisa Warn the committee" (cried
The lyiny Jeierson) Where is the Central Commit
lee # safety of the county, Where is its energetic
Chairman William Crawford: Where is the Demo-
c,acy OF The county; We call upon them all to act
or,wi,h-and this call we make, not SO much in the
name ,r the Central Committee Of the State-but OF the
State Convention whose resolutions point out the remedy
which is to be adopted We will not believe that the can
da,es and their immediate friends will Persesere IN
splitting up the party and endangering the election no
louisa Bat if they will persevee-it their irIenas VIII
ll he dogsedly obstinate in their attachments no
ends can bring them togetherif none can prevail up
on either Of them TO wthdraw--then we call upon the
County Committee to incrpose lis good offices at once
and call general meeting of the people, to supersede
both Of them, and concentrate their support upon some
oher
we have received several pieces from that county,
about the candidates. We will publish no more OF
them II we cannot extnguish the fames we will at
eas, not fan them They should settle their family euds
among themselves-aDd who can doubt the sound
sanse and public spirit of the Republicans OF Louisa
We beg them 10 come forward at once, and adjust this
mschrevous contention. We shall in this, and in all
similar cases, deal frankly we hope respectfully with
brethren. But when the camp rs IN danger, u III
becomes any sentinel to fold his arms-and refuse to
give the alarm.
Should any other county in the State fall into SINH.
Ia difficulties, we must beg her Central Committee
immediately to give information to the Central Com
mee of Richmond, whose duty II IS to interPose ITS
hes, Offices upon the occasion, we cannot drop The
PEN without throwing out another suggestion, that as
! the duty of the Republican party 10 concentrate
Their votes upon candidate, and in cases OF rival
Candidates say who shall serve them so it becomes
equally the duty Of every citizen 10 obey the call we
can scarcely recognize any exception 10 the rule, IN
times like these that "try mems souls"
