Mr.. Seldom IN GoCHLAND.

Mr.. seldom IN GOCHLAND.

,ha, il has not been undeserved. one OF his
competitors. Mr. Bous, has been regarded as Inc
most adroit, and as in every respect one OF me
most formidable stump orators IN virginia =
I We have ALWAYS CONSIDERED Mr.. Seldom as de-
and in all sla.esmanike Qualities. From &c
counts which we nave heard Of ihe'r meeting III
Louisa and IN Goochland, ii would seem that MI.

Seldom is opposed 10 Bank and Tariff; but
If The professions # Genera Taylor and his
friends are 10 be believed, there is not much pro.
