Old amherst still erect
/ AMHERST c. H., Saturday evening.
70 the Editors of the Examiner
Expecting you would like to hear from oul
county, as the Wings calculated certafnly spor
electing their candidate, hasten to give you The
information, which you will find below, as il
the state of the polls. Although SO Wing vote.
We're made in one day, and their deed recorded
on the last day which would enttle item il
vote, yet the Democrats of Amherst no,h inc
,launted, selected their standard bearer, and de-
termined upon glorious victory, or an honora
Bic death, and well have they maintained thei
determination and the battle has resulted, after
a three days contest, in a majority of at eas
so votes for the Democrats. Your partner Mr.
Dewitt is at present with u.s. at the Court House
and voted. and by his energy and actiyity aid
ed our cause very much, for which we return
which our party in Amherst may well leioice
because OF the extraordinary efforts used by the
Wings In money, labor, and time, to eubdut
Amherst, and place her under Wing mis71le.--
But she has been found equal to the hour oil trial
and will continue TO be so as long as her cizens
can be enlightened BY the press.
KING GEORGE.-The polls have closed
with majority Of ten votes for Arnold the De
nocratic candidate-tEe first Democratic veto
ry in this county in the memera of man. From
81 votes, all told, in 1886, we have by the force
OF perseverance and the truth Of our principles
attained our present strength.
HANOVER.-We have not the full vote
but there is no doubt that the gallant White j.
elected by several majority over WieAman NV J

To the Editors of the Enquirer:
| Loy1NcsToN, April 26, 1850.
! Gentlemen Col. Hiram w Dawson, the in
dependent Wing candidate of this county, is un-
queslonably elected, his ma jolity being about
so, though the polls are kept open at this place.
and perhaps at all the other precincts except
Greenfield, where they were closed the first day:
the result, however, cannot be materially chang
ed.
The defeat Of Mr.. Cabell, the favori.e caucus
candidate OF tie Wings, has produced great NOR
titication ard indignation among the ultra
Wings. D. was not their man, bat on the CEN
trsry, they hated him, even worse than Demo-
crat, and resorted TO the most unworthy and
reprehensibe means Of defeating him.
AMHERST-We ask pardon CT this gallant
little county for having placed her in the Whiy
ranks. A letter states that our excelen. and in
telligent friend, Colonel Dillard is elected by a
good vote over the vacilaling Wing Powell
GOOCHLAND-Tha W orthy Democrat, Peter
Guerrant, is elected by about so majority. We
rejoice to see old Goochland go handsomely
rlehtlng herself. Amber is reelected to the
Senate by a decided majority.
PRINCE EDWARD-Wm. c. Flou1nov.
DEM is elected without opposition The
Wings We're smart not te put themselves in his
way.
HUVANNA.-Wo hear that "Old Flu" has
squeezed oat a majo rity Of II for R. !. Ceehe,
Wing. The 1st day, Gay, (D) gallan.ly won
the day; but unfortunately, could not keep it,
The Democrats of the old county, and our wor-
thy candidate, have done escellently.
SIAFFORD.-Suhle,( W.) is reelected by
10 majority. This result, we hear, was effect
ell by an outrage, similar to that in the lower
end OF Henrico The Wing commissioners kept
open the Whig precincts, but, in fragrant viola
ton OF right and justice, closed the Democratic
precincts. Its too BAG, to see the viii Of The
people thus sneakingy thwarted.
| GLOUCESTER-Th Norfolk and Glouceste,
mails OF last evening failed, being missent to Fe
tersburg. It is stated on Wing authority thai
W. b. Iallaferro, Democrat, is elected 10 the
Legislature. He will make valuable member

PENDLETON AND HIGHLAND.
| HIGHLAND COUNTY, April 26.
To the Editors Of the Enquirer.
Y Sirs-I have just received news from Pendle
: ton, that warrants me in saying that KEE, thu
| Democratic candidate, is elected over Mr.
Woodson and his ally Captain Saunders, by a
least 100 majority. This is glory enough 70
one day. will write you more fully BY neg
mail. If the East has done her duty, the De
inocracy are safe, and Mason's e-eleciion is OIL,
OF the things that is fixed.

Eowell was not a candidate, and his name wa
placed before the people by his friends few
Gays berore the election. Gen. Layne, only can
didate tor the Senate got a good vote
The above exhibits a strange result that
Wing should come so near the highest Demo
crat in Democratic Botetourt. II is the effect o
a multiplicity OF candidates. We presume tina
the Democrats will be smart enough to consen
tfate on one man, and save the county.
