The Spring elections are approaching sufficient
ly near 10 attract public attention The time is a,
hand neutrality-suspicious. OF The counties OF Bed
ford and Franklin, when we should cast about us
to ascertain the most suitable man 10 run as
candidate 10 represent US in the next Senate Of
yirginia-to represent our District which has
been SO long represented by Wings, and which
promises 10 continue so to be represented, if The
most prudent, efficient and concilalory means be
not resoIled 10 by party, and our whole forces
be not properly directed and concentrated upon
one man. Let us lben Republicans OF
this Senatorial District, lake lime By the fore
lock; lei US meet al our respective January Courts
10 determine upon suitable place and time for
holding convention 10 nominate such candi-
date, 10 appoint delegates to The said convention,
and 10 pledge 10 The Republican party our best
and united efforts Tor his success. Such course
will have the effect oil giving some confidence 10
the party al large, will give the candidate ample
time 10 canvass the District 10 make the acquain-
lance of the people, and 10 develope The political
tenets TO which he holds-advanlages loo obvious
10 need comment.

II we carry into this contest the feelings which
inspired this morO-if we select suitable candi-
date, and properly direct and properly concen-
irate all our efforts upon this one, | venture the
prediction, and hazard my whole reputation as
prophet upon the result, that II ace do not succeed

not think victory improbable. But grant that our
abors, so far as candidate for the Senate is con-
cerned, would be vain and futile does il necessari
ly follow that no good would come oi this contest
Otherwise? May they not give an additional ST.
mulus 10 The congressional elections which are 10

no, afford 10 The gallant Leake, who has won So
many laurels during his last canvass and whilst
in Congress, The means of sustaining himself
against The combined influences which are TO ope

eress from Phisylvania, (Mr. Treadway,) vino
has done SO much 10 build up The Democratic
party, and who bears with him the esteem and re.
spect of The wise and good OF both parlies-in-
creased facilities for re election 7 May they
not keep burning fresh in The hearts of The pee
pie The fires OF Democracy, and inspire them with
The same paramount love oil liberty, under which
they have always marched 10 vicluryl May
they moi, although they do no immediate or per-
cepibe good, pave The way Tor more splendid
victory, Or destroy he approaching causes Of a

give 10 the Republican party throughout The coun-
lry who are now witnessing The apparen, de-
cline of its strength with sore disappointment,
The consoling assurance that here it is on The rase
None Of these arguments, suppose, can be
denied. The case, then, is precisely this: lie
good of our parry requires such course Of con-
duct Who, under such circumstances, will fall
ter Let us come forward then, fellow-Repub-
licans, and put our shoulders boldly 10 The wheel
and, ifvictory does not perch upon our s!andard,
We will still have the proud consciousness of hav-
ing discharged our duty 10 ourselves, 10 our coun-
