VIRGINIA ELECTIONS

The Wings are making The most desperate and
systematic efforts 10 carry Virginia his Spring by
manufacturing votes in a variety OF forms SucL
are the Angus Mcdonald serfs OF IIa,npshre-
and We hear OF II leasehold votes created in ca.
rone 10 carry that county, il possible. Those
votes are created under The auspices of I'M, nroo-
ging Wing Scnalor-1hey were dropped in The
Clerks office only two or three DAYS before he imi.
latnn OF two monhs-hn, after a there is reason
10 believe il is all Loves Labor lost" and that
for some want Of form, this ins1ions abuse NJ The
suffrage oil the Constitution Will tail in i,s aim
and that these voles are inadmissibe. We cali
upon our friends every where 10 rally and dr,e,t
an enemy who resorts 10 such poisoned wcapons
We call especially upon ever Democrat in
Albemalle TO turn oul and vote lar their accom-
pshcd son, Ieake We hear with aslonish,nen,
and modification, that any Democrat should
think OF refusing him his vote, because he hap
pencd Ia lie the Chairman Of meeting in Char
iol,esville. which recommended The late Free
School system. Surely, the objection comes with a
very poor grace from The Wings who principally
col up The meeting, and whose delegates voted for
the bill Even il Leakc had erred upon this solitary
act. is that any reason why The honest Democrats
of Albemarle should sci a candidate aside. who
is with them on all the great political questions
of the day2 VIII they bic off their own nose, 10
spite their face? II is impossible.
Arouse then. organize! arm Yourselves 90 forth

lose us the victory, hu, or own inac!iun, or lollv
We can beat all the spurious votes Of The W h.s.

THE OLD DOMINION.
Though, in some Of The counties, dssension
prevails among the Democrats as TO their candi-
dates for lhs Legislature, Senate &C., We think
the llh Thursday OF April will proclaim the most
brilliant victory that we have ever achieved even
in the Oli Dominion. All that is necessary 10
ensure it, is determination BY the Democracy
thai they will and must accomplish II. And will
not such be The determination? There are i'm
portanl issues in The contest Every thing de-
ponds on Virginia having clear Democratic
majority in her Legislature, that she may elect
those in the great council ot the nation, who will
represent her wishes and carry out her princi-
pies She has suffered enough already, from The
Janus faced policy Of one Of her Senators and
