IL. MAGRUDER, Esq, fthe county of Abemarle is re-
spectuy presented your consideration as one of the
delegates to be chosen for the above named district.
Mr.. Magruder is gentleman of excellent literary
and legal attanments is possessed of vigorous sound
discriminating and truly practical business mind and
this combined with his knowledge and experience of
the practical operation OF the present constitution and

OF the important trust to be confded to the Convention
OF reforming and amending, supplying the defects of
the present constitution While sufficiently firm and
decided in his opinion forciby press his own views of
what is right in argument debate, he is nevertheless
conciliaory, courteous and persuasive in his manner
and thereby well calculated to win to himself the re-
spect, esteem and confidence of any deberave body
with which he may be associated. He is besides a
country gentleman, practical farmer as well asawyer
with large interest at stake in the soil; and in that as
well as every other respect, his interests are precisely
identical with those ohe great body the voters of the
District and the State
From actual acquaintance, therefore with Mr. Ma
gruder, and knowledge of his peculiar qualifications
and htness tor the important station in question we are
confident in the belief that if elected to it. he will dis
charge its duties with ability and fidelity and to the per-
feet satisfaction OF the district.
