THE SENATORIAL NOMINATION.

s-N''A'
Of the Senatorial Convention from the Secretary,
bst being ourselves member of the Convention,
we announce to our readers that the nomination
has been given TO CROMWELL ORRicK, Esqrg
OF Morgan County. Mr.. Ouiek has accepted the
nomination and 10 nov before the people of this
District for their sufrsges. Mr.. Orrick has rep
resented the County oil Morgan in the House OF
Delegates several times with great credit to him
self and advantage his constituents, and donb,,
should il be the pleasure of the people Of this
District to call him into their service, he will again
discharge his duties with the same credit and fdeli.
". We feel satisfied his nomination will meet the
appreciation of the entire District and that his
elaction 4, certain If the Wings but bring their
strength to the polls. For Berkeley we think we
can speak, and have no hesitation in saying that
she will give him her warm, cordial and united
support. She knows him Wing and true
Wing, and will therefore support him with that
earnestness Of purpose which has always crowned
her Efforts with success.
Mr.. orrick designs visiting Berkeley at our next
County Court, on the 18th OF April, and we would
respectfully suggest to as many of our friends as
can make it convenient to come to town on that
day and make his acquaintance, as the time inter-
yening between this and the election s now so
short that he will not be able to the dstrct
fully and extensively.
Our nominations are all n0w made. Let US go
10 work in earnest. Let every Wing who has a
vote in Berkeley determine that nothing shall pre-
vent him from casting his vote at the approaching
election, if it be possible for him get to the Polls
The next session Of our Legislature will be one OF
deep and exciting interest, as there are number
Of highly important questions to be brought before
it for action and in which the people of this sec
ton Of the State are deeply and vitality interested.
We shall take occasion before the canvass closes
TO call tho attention of our readers to them. A
Governor is to be chosen by the next Legislature,
and he should by all means, il possible, be Wing
but above all other considerations, the Wings OF
Virginia should bend their united and active exer-
tons to securing the majority joint ballot an the
next Legislature, and thereby the election of a
Wing to the United States Senate to fill the
CIV created by the expiration of Mr.. Rives term of
service. The critical condition in which our ma
,onal affairs now stand, call loudly upon every
Whis to 60 his duty. The United States Senate is
now nearly divided equally, and much may depend
upon the exertions of Virginia. There are also
vacancies to be filed from Tennessee and Indiana
and those gallant States are confidently expected
TO send Wings. Indiana and Virginia, were both
cheated out of their Representation last winter by
Loco Foco Senate in each State refusing TO go
ir,o '.jont ballo,'-the appeal is made back to the
people--let it be answered-aye, and rightly
Much depends on this Senatorial District-'houd
we elect MIR. Orrck to the Senate, and secure the
two Wing Delegates from Hampshire, it will make
q difference of si1 in our favor. We can do it
let US resolve that we wiH do it, and our yctoryis
certain and easy.
