Wheeling being vaiurless il would obligr US 10
make the road, in iacl nj onr own expense, and

visions would increase The capital one million

TRICT,

A friend has received letters from the Demo

on the 9th January, and informs us that Thomas

mously nominated as the candidate for Congre.s
to succeed the present worthy member, Colone
E. w. Hubbard. We rejoice TO hear that grea
harmony and uDanrnity prevailed in The Conven
lion. Mr.. Bocock was recommended by tw'
public meetings in Rockingham and Appomat
tox and we cannot doubt his success. few
years ago he was member OF the House OF DE
lesa,es, and made himself most favorably known
by his graceful elocution, quick powers Of MIND
and courteous manners. He is, we hear, very
popular in The district, and the Democrats vii
have themselves TO blame il he is not elected. A
the pesen, interesting period, Virginia shoalc
pu, forth all her strength; and we appeal 10 every
Democrat 10 do his duty in The Spring, and sup
port cordialyjand .ealousy those gentlemen who
may be selected by the party as the standard
