Tha list ntain he nf thn ataa
for Congress in the Old Dominion, far they are
known to us. The canvass has already commenced and
we hope that Virginia will be true 10 herself in the APP
preaching struggle We repeat that Gen Taylor has
rounded himself with wing advisers, and every crcum
stance plainly indicates that the mscaed American sys
tenn will be forced upon the country the people permit
The National In,egencer of Friday morning shows that
the new Secretary OF the Treasury intends restore the
tariff of 1s42if, indeed he is equal to the task. Other
federal measures will follow opportunity Offers With
these facts before them, cannot believe that the peo
pie of Virginia will falter The democrats have able and
tried champions before them We regret deeply that we
will lose the valuable services of the Hon. Henry Bed
nger who represented the tenth district in the last Con-
gress He was firm and true representative of his
State to whose rights he devoted. We perceive by
the proceedings of the convention that the democratic
party has nominated in his stead Richard Parker, esq
who was not originally candidate before that body
We are intimately acquainted with him. He was the
son of the late Judge Richard E. Parker, of high
character and great popularity; his is every way
worthy of his accomplished father We trust, therefore,
that he will receive the united vote of his party. We
have also received the proceedings of the conventions
which nominated Mr. Mllson in the first, and Mr. Seldom
in the sixth district They manifest the very best spirit
The nomination was almost forced upon Mr.. Seldom.
He was a member of the twenty ninth Congress, and
occuped high and an enviable stand in that body.
He did not desire to submit his name to the people;
but his party remembering his past services desired him
to forego Ills own wishes and them again. He has
consented to do So and has pledged himself to every
honorable effort to defeat the wing candidate in the
Metropolitan district We have the pleasure of being in
tnaely acquainted with both Messrs. Seldom and Mill
son. The former has been in Congress, and has already
carved out his way to most honorable distinction Mr.
Mison has never been in Congress- but ne was an
elector at the last presidential eecon-a gentleman of
firm democratic principles, and of great abilty-and has
distinguished himself by his speeches and writings in the
two last campaigns.
Messrs Averelt, Powell, Holiday, Edmundson, Beale,
and Newman are new candidates, OF the most decided
republican principles and gifted with ae talents to
their country. We trust to take them all by the hand
next winter. for the democracy wants every good and
true man to assert it's principles
The Norfolk Argus grees with the information from
Accomac, that the prospects Of the able and eminent
champion OF the de mocrac faith General Thomas II.
Bayly) "were bright at this time. You may
rest assured says the correspondent of the Agus) that
he will receive larger vote than he has obtained in
this county The democrats who voted for Gen. Taylor
or who neutral in November, will rally to his
standard, and hundreds of wings will yield him their
support, with the perfect conviction that, in voting for
him, they are best serving their country"
We deeply regret to that there three democratic
candidates before the people Of the 18th district This
should not be. 1t may give the district to the wings
event which the two gentlemen whose
names are submitted would deeply deplore. We would,
therefore; most respectfully urge them to submit their
claims to a convention, and abide by it's decision. Such
course is due to themselves and to the cause which
they wish to triumph. Let not the democrats OF
Little Tennessee be again choused out Of their represent

800 they were beaten ls47 because they suffered two
