To the Editors Of The Richmond Enquire:
LYNCHBURG, April ~, lS4I
write, under the influence of excitement, near the
polls This has proved to be glorious day for the de-
mocracy OF Lynchburg and Campbell county After a
hard fought battle and arduous days labor, we have
given Mexican whigery another Buena Vista de-
feat; and although our forces Qike General lay
ors) were too small 10 capture the whole OF
the enemy's forces, yet have succeeded IN
capturing something like hundred of them. Their
majority at this precinct heretofore against Hubad) has
ranged something like 900; while their majority, on the
present OCCASION will only be about 100 for Irving over
Bocock and about the same in the whole county. The
county candidates all whigshe contest being be-
two of the three will be elected ] consider Bococks
election now as safe in the district, BY $50 200 votes
indeed, how could be otherwise, If it be four times the
number considering the disgraceful and unpatrlotic
course pursued by the federal whg party throughout the
State and Union, in making the question the only
issue between the parties this spring. They have
made the themselves, and we have had to
meet them on it; and, from the present signs,
they will, be sgnally defeated in Virginia
al Taylor My opinion is, that the Mexican war
will have the effect of drawing lines between the
parties hereafter; the old democratic party and the
publican portion of the wing party uniting in supporting
the honor of the country, in all controversies with for
egn powers and the federal party still retaining their
consistency in unif ornly taking sides with the enemy
against the country | predict that several wings have
voted with to-day who will return to the wing
party. Before the mail Closes hasten to suboin state
ment of the polls, SO far as received.
