DEAR SIR You are doubtless aware that Judge
Bayley of Accomac, is the Republican candidate for
Congress in the district formerly represented by the
distinguished Henry A. Wise. On Monday last,

Hill Carter, the Federal candidate, took the stand

from the Richmond Wing, and occasionally making
remark of his own IN praise of Henr, Clay. He
was succeeded by Captain Robert Anderson an avow-

Dir. Richard Garrett the Republican candidate

district would give Republican majority of 1000

cheering.
You may rest assured Mr.. Editor, that the People

the partisans Of Van Buren, imagine that this feeling
will operate to the advantage Of Van Buren,. Should
the party be mad enough to him, Mr. Clay will
carry this district by 1900 MAJORITY. There is no
doubt Of it, and no one who has mixed with the Peo-
pie will pretend to deny it, InYork county, Mr. Van
