SPRING ELECTIONS IN VIRGINIA.

We call upon the Republican party, again

Republicans, who carried Virginia during
the last autumn by 5000 majority, 10 lose the

Why Senator at The next session TO hwaH his
administration by his votes.
We are in danger OF losing some counties by
the division OF our Republican votes among
several candidates. This is the great dam
ger 10 which We are now exposed. Our
friends should lose not a moment in BRING
ing about Union in our ranks and throw
ing their votes upon one candidate alone. A
Wing proposed the other day. in county where
they had three Wings in the field, that each
candidate should appoint three friends, who
should meet, and amicGbly and decidedly deter
mine among themselves, who should Withdraw
and who kept the field. The suggestion is very
good one-in such counties as have no time 10
call a Convention OF The people, to adopt
a specific nomination. In all such coun-
lies, we beg leave further 10 propose, that the
Chairman of the Committee of Vigilance and
Correspondence should personally see The candi-
dates and urg- this method of adjustment, upon
them. Their intcrposition cannot but be pro-
ducivc OF The best results We beg our friends
in Matthews and Middlesex 10 lei us know BY the
return mail how they ale going on and whether
they have but one candidate only in The field. We
propose the same enquiry 10 our friends in Roam

quarter OF The State, TO act al once-to act with

wealth receive no delrimen, from The distraction

member that we have Senator Of the United
States ard 4 Governor 10 elect next Winter; ard,
moreover, thai We should be prepared 10 commu-
nicae thar moral force 10 The present Administra.
ton, which we have so essentially contributed 10
bring into power.
Our general accounts from the State are cheer
ing. There cannot I've doubt, that if our friends
but do their duty, like men, we shall carry the
elections. Our brethren of the Press. arc nobly
