I.EAkE ANDLRYING.

We second the Scasonabe remarks OF the
"Lynchburg Republican" in The following ar-
Gle. We trust that every county in The District
will DO her duty, and pour forth her whole Repub-
lican vote into The Corau Cop9 Of our accom-
plished friend Leake. Away with all minor
,cTnples about the form OF 0minaiion-AWay
with lille qualms, and hear-burnin2s and dan
gerous diScontents. Let us ALL act IS the Ro-
mans did, when The foreign enemy was al her
galcs-wave Our internal Contests, until we have
bcaen The enemy, and then, if we please, discuss
them at our lcisnle No district has a more able
candidate to serve in our national councils-none
will be better represented than the Albemarle dis
liici will be in The person Of Leake. We say
then, with our brethren Of Lynchburg, let every
county DO her duty, and especially old Madison
and her two sisters OF Greene and Orange:
"The canvass between these gentlemen (Leake
and Irvins) is conducted in fine spirit, ard with
a great deal Of animation. They are visiting
every county in the District, and addressing The
people almost every day. We would say 10 the
lower end OF the District from which we have
cheering accounts, that it will require liz en-
tire strength 10 elect the talented Lcake. Bedford
is very strong, and will give heavy majority
against us. So will Albemarle and Nelson
Our entire dependence is on that intomitablc Re-
publican county, old Madison, and her two sis
lers, Greene aud Orange. Our friends are put
ting forth all their strength in this end OF the
District but il is necessary 10 call upon Hercn-
les The Wings here always expect loud ihun-
der, when they hear from these Democratic coun-
lies. Will the Charlottesville Jefiersonian be SO
good as TO present the compliments OF his bro
lher Democrats in The upper end OF the District
10 their friends in Madison, Greene and Orange
and say to them, moi 10 disapponl US; but make
long and strong pull and We assure them all will be
we'll As for little A mher>t over the way while she
has The most indomilable Democracy, and Is one
of the most reliable counties in The Stale, yet she
is controlled and over-ridden By Federal Lynch
burg. We solemnly appeal TO her, TO put forth
her whole strength in the approaching contest,
and shake off foreign influence Don't suffer
Yourselves 10 be dictated TO- and controlled by
Lynchhurg Where are The Long Mountain Boysl
Where the gallant band that came from the head
of Harris Creek and The neishborhood OF the
Tobacco Row and Peilar Mills7 In times OF
need il has only been necessary TO tell them what
they had TO do and ii was done. We tell them
now this campaign is 10 be no chlds play. Your
own faithful Representative, Pau!ns Powell, is
in danger, as well as Leake- On former &C
casion your noble bearing attracted the attention
of the leading New York Press, and will Won
now suffer that good name TO be tarnishedl-
Never See to il, then, and maintain Your proud
position among the Democratic counties OF the old
Commonwealth, though you have TO contend
against fearful foreign vote"
GAnd we TOO beg leave TO offer one word Tor the
worthy and promising Paulus Powell. Every
day is adding TO hi. value. His capacity TO serve
Amherst with ability, was tested at the last ses-
sion. The next will ripen his blossoms into fruit,
and Amherst will have cause 10 be proud OF her
delesae.-EHqnucr.
