With The single exception Of The war with Mex

cause, and nothing bot ukewarmness or indiffer-
ence on The part Of the Democratic parry can Sc
cure the Wings against worse than Waterloo

Whiggery. seems about TO be broken. Stout
arms and willing hearts will be at work 10 re-
deem this good old county from Federal lhral-
dom. The Democratic banner is ahoat upon
the breeze, and Democratic hosts are gathering
TO The rescue The hand writing is upon The
wall, and The Interpretation thereof will be made
b. a Democratic representative from Northamp-
ION in The next Legislature Of Virginia!
