Tact that Mr.. Hdaday did moi visit the lower END
,ot The counry4nd Forbes gol much larger
-vote Than The Wig party generally give al the
lower precinct. The reason why Shepard oo-
lained SO large vote is, that there were Two De.
mocIalic candiaes in The feld-to wit: Blake
and Shepard er the belief that there would
be no Wing csdijale; bul al our Cour!, on
Monday before le day the election commenced
some OF Inc Wigs OF Ibis county held meet
ing and brought vi Col John K. Billups, when
Mr.. Blake very masDanimously gave way
stating al he me that he would not endangef
the success OF III parly aud pledged himself 10
support MIR Sheard, and do al that he could to
secure bis reelection. Some CT The Wings did
, moi approve oil tinging out Col Billups al that
late hour, and ir that reason and The additional
one, that soms OF the Democrats in the upper
part OF the cohIy (Who were opposed 10 reno
yal) refused lampport Mr.. Shepard, because OF
his independek course in the last Ltg,siatcre-
they, approving lis independence, more than
supplied Inc v$uum, and thus he DURAN his par

We did not e3scl 10 give him large majority,
