THE SPRING ELECTIONS.

where The Clarksbiirg "SciOn" states, Two Demo-

! :there is one man elected once and he has pech

Leans ought 10 pay him deserving com
rliment by letting him have not one vote =
! Such TOO. is said 10 be the case IN Wood ana
Richie. where 'thcre is division among the he
publ;cans concerning their candidate Tor the L.
gislature.' And, with the .Scion," we regret

upon whom the party could succeed, ID spite OF
opposition l. il vet loo late Tor The Chairmeh
of our Corresponding Committees TO step lor-
ward al once and interfere, and insist upon The
candidates submitting their respective CLAIMS 10
mutual friends for positive adjustment. Inc
! Chairmen are Messrs ]. F. Snodgrass, in WOOD;
James Mckinney in Richie, and Colonel Jo-
sah Bowers in Tyler. We shall address
copy POI this paper Ia each OF these genie
men and beseech their prompt and energetic
efforts 10 effect an amicabe accommodation
Ii gives US pleasure however. To learn from tle
"Scion" "ihal The Democracy OF Barbour anu
Randolph have al last settled their difficulties
about candidate, and that danger Is now passea:
There is vel no Wing running, that we know OF,
and probably will not be, il they see The Demo
crscv determined TO unite" This accommodation
was the result OF a convention from The two
counties, which nominated Washington }. Long
as The candidate OF the Democratic party.
| Unite-close your ranks-concenirate your
votes upon one candidate every where, is the anx-
ious advice that we would give our friends at this
eleventh hour Do your duty al the polls, and
wc must carry the Slate In spite OF The lease

are sancuine of success In The Williamsburg
district, the Wings are attempting 10 make capt.
tai from the substitution OF Resident of
Louisiana for MIR. Albert G. Soulhall, as the Su
pernendent Of The Live Oak in that Stale. The
mos, exravaeant rumors are insidously built up
by The Wing intriguers upon this change Qhe
principle of which they, OF course, keep carefully
out Of view)-such as that all The Tyler appoint

of Mr.. Wise sarcs them in the face Such

Put down Mr. Calhoun and his friends =
| There is mol the slightest shadow OF evidence
10 establish The shameless imputalion. Mr. Polk

Why should he then oppose them! He offered
! Mr. Calhoun The first mission in Europe-he re-

| Carolina. No politicians in The Union are
more talented than Mr. Cahonn's friends
none did more service during The last cam.
pagn-none are mole necessary 10 support his
Administration. We venture 10 say, that none
will be more cherished on proper principles
none will have less cause 10 complain Of MIR
Folks Iiberalily and Justice The suspicion which
the friends of The Wing Congressional candidate
in the Williamsburg Disuic are now seeking Ia
sow broad east over The District is, therefore, NJ

it, and il is only Propasaed on thu eve OF the cleo
lion for elcctioneerng effect. The claims Of Al

and properly appreciated.

then, do their duty, and there Is n" danger ot the

publican, OF The State, We present 10 on: readers the
following stirring appeal from the "Clarkcsbura
! al Democracy =
"The approaching election in This State seems
10 excite good deal OF interest in many portions
Of the Commonwealth llcIe il Seems 10 have
excited little The most exciting part Of The
canvass has been anon. The candidates, and We

but little indeed about The election This ndiiie-
renee seems 10 he ielt hy both parties. II is mol

voter has forgotten the day, anil il is hoped also,
that the Republicans have not forgotten that II i,
very important election. Its worth an effort

Dominion may have 4 Republican Governor for
three wears. Although our Executive has mol

vet il is desirable on many accounts, that he
should be a man rejecting truly the opinions
Of his own State But il is worth The great.

Mr.. Rivess place in the Senate Of The Uni
led States may be filled b. man who will speak

mia, upon The great ISSUES that divide pille>.-
We have urged Ibis subject upon the attention OF
The people al various times. Ii cannot be that
any do no, know how vital that question IS 10 The
success Of Mr.. Folks administration. The close
division Of parties in the Senate renders 1t ol The
utmost consequence, that The one chosen from
Virginia should he Democrat. We want Le-
gisalure, also, who will tell Mr.. Archer III round
terms Ia speal; The voice u his state, or resign his
trust. Will HE Republicans attend 10 this matter
in lime, or will they like many an army has
I done, retreat, when one more blow would WIN
them complete vc,ory?'

we'd The following Interesting letter from one oi the
most intelligent politicians in The Northwest:

Wheeling, however, will pour in her Fedora for

Union, than in Marshall counry-Ever true TO The
