James Fl. Ferguson and John Hill both De-
mocrats were candidates for the Virginia Le-
gislature, and the vote stands thus:
j. H. Ferguson-In Logan 3s9

E.rousan,s majority $50
| One orecinc, to hear from, which wi proba-
bis increase Ferguson's majority TO 500, and
| Edmondson's to l70 Owing 10 sudden rise
| in the rivers tn day before the election. many
peopIe were of on their rats Of timber and
boats, which made the vote less than il other
wise would have been.
But The result IS glorious one. Though the
Wings resorled 10 every resource OF Ia sehood
and humbrggng TO defeat Edmondson, II all
ayailed them nothing. am N hopes II Will
| teach them 10 use more honorable means IN our
| future elections.
Tho re. election Of Mr.. Ferguson, by such an
overwhelming majority, is triumphant vindi'
/ cation Of his course last Winter in the Legisla-
tnre on the Wilmot Proviso and the Virginia
Resolutions. II will be rccollected that the on
oosers of the resolutions tried TO deter Mr.
Ferguson from their support, with the threat
ma, ms constituents would not sustain him.
Mir. Hill, his opponent in This election, pro-
fessed 10 see in MIR. Fcrguson's speech the
| doctrine of Notification and Dlsunlon, and, as
| far as he was able, made that the issue between
himself and Mr.. Ferguson. The small vote Mr..
| Hill received land most persons voted 10. nm
! through personal considerations, think clearly
shows the sentiments of The people on this SUD-
| iect AMI is complete ylndcation OF VT Fer
gusons speech. II the time should come wheh
our Northern brethren shall cease TO resrect our
| rights and treat US as equals-when they snail
persist in their unhaliowed and fanatcal agsres
sions upon our rights when our brothery love
shall have been destroyed-when sectional
schisms shall override patrio,lsm-When Inc
South shall be driven to The last extremity. and
when she shall decide on taking into her own
hands the redress Of her wrongs, then you VIII
I a,d ha
bold hearts ami stout arms TO defend and NAM
tain them. 10 tie utmost and to the last extremi-
y. Yours, - D.
