Fear not Virgniaall well-the democracy doing
their duty We may lose little in Little Tennessee That
loss will be than made up in the other portions OF
western Virginia We have no cause 10 fear if we do
our duty, and think certain that will be done. The
wings are working like noies; but are endeavoring
10 counteract It. | informed, from undoubted
horly that eastern Virginia will not do well for Tay
Tor Tor Clay in 1874; while the vote in the southern
and western paris OF Virginia cannot be materially d.
mlnished II diminished al all tins have from reliable
sources
We, too, hear from the reliable sources that our
vote in the northwestern part OF Virginia and in her beau
ful valley will be decidedly increased The teegraphic
despatch which received from Richmond on Tuesday
brings cheering intelligence directly from the southwest
where the wings have been Dragging the highest and

up by Boyd OF Wythe, just before he flew of 10 the
This nckster, though he be delegate deserves to be
drummed out Of the party for his cunning and nsdious
trick of putting Taylor and Butler at the head of the wing
electors We trust the county committees in every coun-
y will keep watch where these spurious tickets emana
ting from the printing Office OF the Wyhevlle RepubH-
cam are likely to be found and also in every county
around Lynchburg where similar tickets have been print
ed at the Office OF the Lynchburg virginian Sub-com-
mitee should be placed at every precinct to watch
the appearance OF these Infamous tickets, and their
circulation by denouncng the nsdious purpose for which
they were fabricated There another little trick too,
which has been actised in another part of the State
which of less consequence, though it deserves to be
exposed The plot is explained to in the following
extract OF a letter from Harrison5urg, Rockingham
county, Virginia, of October Goth:
son Thursday last man, who stated that his name
Noble and that he is the editor OF paper published
in Washington, called the New Era, made his appear
Harrsonbug, for the purpose he SAID OF seeing
the ee-so voters of Rockingham, and 10 engage per-
to circulate the free soil documents and distribute
their ticket Two OF our young democrats wormed oHi
of him his movements. He left here on Friday,
and on yesterday morning these young democrats re-
ceived by mail. from certain George Rye, OF Wood
stock, Shenandoah county, noted free aboIltonis
several hundred OF their tickets and twenty dollars in
soon as they reached Woodstock This Mr.. Noble rec
ommends 10 his agents caution and certain degree of
secrecy declaring that they have expectation OF carry
Virginia. but that they wish TO ascertain their strength
that they may prepare for 1852, &c Now, we have
apprehension OF the ticket receiving five votes
in Rockingham. but we very suspicious that this
movement directed by the whigsperhaps by the Dis
tric northern wings Why would the free soil
party send their agents, &c. into State where they
know they have no chance And why send them into
district buckingham, Page, and Systematically where
ninetenths OF the voters are democrats IT IT is not with
the hope of deacng from the Cass and Butler vote and
thereby help Taylor 4 Co. In Virginia.
As have already stated, fear nothing here from
them; but is II no, sign that coalition Is forming is
areadyoned, between the wings and Van Burenites fo
the OF eleCtng INyor and that 10 be carried
out in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and that the wings are
furnish money fo that purpose The sollers have
too much judgment not TO that for their advantage
money expended in Virginia is thrown away.
81 enclose YOU OF these famous tickets" So pro-
foundly ignorant these OF the laws OF Virginia
which allow but eecor to each electoral district
that they have taken four five OF Its electors from the
county of Shenandoah alone Two or three OF the cleo
tors this ticket have already disavowed 1t.
Since writing the above we have received the Rich
mond Examiner of Tuesday, which gives US the follow
ing information:
