Should We not, with itilc delay, organize for
the Spring contest for Congress? Or, shall we
fold our arms, look dspirited, and surrender en-
tirely 10 Federal misrepresentation for this,
surely we are not prepared. The result OF the
Presidential Election has shown, that since orr
opponents have acted upon the motto, that
"h6acav is he best rolicy, and have had the "caa-
dor 10 0row AMI frmness 10 maintain Their Yrrn-
cipcs." their 'ae' so heavily laden with 'Dirds Of
ererv feather" has been rent asunder, so that
nearly one hundred have fled for their lives since
the election OF lsi3 when Mr.. Newton carried
the district BY some $50 or 800 whilst the present
Wing majority, as recently exhibited, is only 81;
thus affordins ground for the belief, that by the
Spring OF ID, as many more birds will escape
from the torn net" and flee for safety 10 the lofty
mount of the Constitution, there to be refreshed
and strengthened, after their cruel, perilous con-
fnement BY The pure, genial hreezes of Republi-
canism. To be serious, we have much 10 en-
courage the idea Of success, when we reflect, that
our opponents will not enjoy, next Spring, the adj
rantagcs they possessed in 43. In l3 their party
was in power In rs ours will be. Then, they
used To their advancement, and 10 our injury, es-
specially as understand, in the Northern Neck,
the necessity imposed upon the Legislature Of in
creasing the taxes of the Stale, which now they
canno, do. Then, orr candidate was stranger
TO the most dangerous part Of tie district nd the
most strenuous efforts were made to prejudice The
popular mind inst him. on account oil his pc
GUITAR notions Though the Constitution was his
guide J 10 accomplish which, the grossest misre-
presentations were made and the worst passions
appealed TO. Now, however, lis felt that great
injustice was done that gentleman and no man
occupies a more enviabe position in the affec-
tons of the people, than does R. M. T. Hunter
Esq, because the people know him 10 be honest
10 possess talents Of the highest order. and 10 be
one of The most genuine Republicans of the age
A very slight glance at facts, as they exist will
show, that with Hunter, or almost any other De-
mocrat in the field success will perch upon our
banner Thus, in Richmond county, where we
have gained largely since the Spring OF 43,
am informed, from good source, that since the
4th OF this month"; the people are daily declaring
for, and returning 10 the faith OF their fathers,
and will no longer be deceived by ambitious po-
liticians SO that this county will not be likely TO
count any thing for the Wings next Spring. |
hear that in King George the cry is, "still they
come :" Alas for poor fated Westmoreland,
we give her up taking care, however, that any
influence she may be inclined TO exert, shall be
counteracted by the vigorous action Of gallant
King William. In Spoltsylvania, Democracy
is in the ascendant, and will there. doubtless,
greatly increase In the next few months. Caro-
line, believe, has never given Federal malo-
rily for Congress. May not King & Queen ex-
