Gentlemen Messrs Leake and Irving, HE
two candidates Tor Congress in this district, have
addressed the people in The principal neigh!or.
hoods of this county, and also OF Bedford, ana
lake great pleasure in assuring you, that The for
mer has made an impression highly favorable TO
our cause, so far as have heard. The Demo
cracy OF this region were almost unanimously 10
favor Of the nomination oil Lcake, ana they ale
now fully convinced OF The wisdom OF then
choice. fie has riumphed mos, signalv over his
respected and talented competitor on every occa-
sion. as | am assured ty gentlemen who have
heard them repeatedly since The opening Of The
canvass. A Bedford Correspondent OF the
l.vnchburg Republican pronounces Mr.. L.supe
rior to any popular orator ne has heard since he
DAYS of Old Roanoke, and candid Wings nave
admitted that, on some points, he IS lnnitafle
Certain il is, that his ability and sound Rernbli
can principles enlitc him 10 the cordial ana en-
thrsaslic support OF our friends in all parts OF
The district nMis region his merits are proper
" appreciated, and You may expect public ac-
acknowledgement Of them in the most emphatic
manner. on the ith of Thursday We hope and
believe that snch is also The case in The lower end
Of The district although the Wings have been for
weeks industriunsly circulating report, that cer-
tain dissatisfied and disappointed Democrats n
tend 10 withhold their support from our candidate,
and thus 10 aid in the election OF Mr.. living

Mr.. Senator Voolfolk Of Orange who, Accord
ing 10 The Wings. will render than most essen.
tial service by way OF avengng his own srieis.
Now. The Republicans OF This quarter, VINO nave
heretofore regarded Mr.. w. as worthy The con-
fdence OF the district, cannot believe, Tor mo
ment. that he is capable ol acting part 50 DIS

helipve no, 4 word Of il. 1t is stated upon good
authority. that General Gordon is nobv discharg-
ing his duty, and il is hoped that his friends VIII
follow his example. If the counties below Able
marie do their ,rioic duty, the election oil LeaEe
NAV Ire counted on with great confidence.
In reference 10 the Legislature, this IS The only
deha,eabIe county in The district. Powell, The
late faithful Republican delegate, is opposed by
Or. Pal,esun, his last years competitor Result
doubtful, though the Republicans generally cal
culae upon success.
On The other side OF the river very close
race is anticipated between Messrs. HUBBARD and
Hill for Congress. They are industnously can
vassing the district, and endeavorins 10 bring oul
The vote OF their respective parties Al The Pre-
sidenlial Election there was difference OF IRE
votes in the seven counties. The Republicans
nj Fluvanna. Lunenburg, and Prince Edward,
shouLl be appr;scd OF the fact, that The managing
Whips rely greatly upon them, or, al any rate,
uno1 their apaihv The calculation is, that there
viii lie a thin vote in Ike Democratic counties OF
PRINCE Edward and Lnnenburg, and full vote
for Hill in the Wing county OF Fiuvanna.-
Forewarned, the Democrats should he forearm
cd and well prepared" for The important poll-
cal hattie OF the 24lh. Hutard has served them
faithfully, and they should come mantully 10 his
rescue.
For The Legislature, Buckingham is sci down
., The only doubtful county in that Congressional
District and there the result ought not 10 be
matter OF doubt We hare clear majority OF
obout so. as shown by the Presidential Election,
and il beaten this Spring. the Democrats will
have good reason 10 say, after The election, Eve
would have il so' Last Spring, one OF the Wing
candidates, (Col Flood) obtained large ma
iority al Democratic precinct" and, for aratt-
abliIys sake, the same gentleman, il is said, has
again been pressed into the service. As The
worthy Colonel wished 10 retire, however, 1t is
hoped that the people Of Buckingham will release
him from all obligation 10 serve them IN The next
General Assembly. Col. Willis Bocock, and
John w. Haskins, Esq, The Democratic can
dida,es. are gentlemen OF talents, and every way
worthy the confidence and support OF The county
Success to them.
