1t will be seen by the following extract from
the Lexington Gazette that the Wing Elector of
this District, ALEx'R H. II. STUART, esq opened
the canvass at Rockbridge Court, on Monday the
9TH instant. He was TO address the people of
Shenandoah on Monday last, and we understand
Will address the people of Rockingham on Mon
day next, and the people of Augusta at their
March Court. His competitor, GREENE B. SAM.

PROCEEDINGS OF MONDAY.
There was very large assembage of the peo-
PIE OF beth parties at the Court House on Mon
day last. MIR. Stuart, according to appointment.
addressed the meeting. We arc not able. nor
shall we attempt, in this brief notice. to give any
description of the powerful, eloquent and unan-
swerable argument delivered by Mr.. Stuart on
Monday. The defence Of the Wing Congress
from tile charge Of extravaganza was most thor.
ough and triumphant, and the discussion of the
arm question equally 'nas,erly and convincing.
in this effort of Mr.. Stuart, i. seems tous. 6o
surpassed any OF his former happy efforts in be-
nan OF wing principles TO which we have ever
lis'ehed. While our principles i'm such hands,
their popularity and success must BE- certain. f..

supported by the authority of the greatest and
most patriotic men of our country, and Invested of
every thing like party slang and denuncia,ion.
John Lelcher Esq, replied to Mr.. S,uar, on be-
nan OF the democracy" but the facts and argu-
ments contained in Mr.. Suart's address were 1n-
answerable, aRd we venture TO say, could not be
reiuted or overlhrown by the most experienced
and most ingenious debaters in the ranks of our
opponents.
The Clay Club had meeting on Monday
night, when Mr.. Stuart made brief Address,
Speeches were also made by Gen. Dorman, r. E.
Manson, Esq. our former townsman, but now of
!LLynchburg, and Messrs. Payne and Le,cher.-
Inc w hIg ball received additional impetus on
Monday which we think will keep it rolling for a
time In handsome style. But we must NJ, let the
good spirit subside We must keep the ball ia mo-

purpose of interchanging views, disseminating
