Let the friends of the Democratic nominee
therefore, be careful, and as there is but one
safe rule, it is best to follow it-vote for tlro
Democrats, and let the Wings elect their own
candidates.
. Or Some Of the Wings are inaustriously cir
culating the report THAT ABNEY will not receive
more than one-third OF the Democratic vote, and
. that certain prominent Democrats will not sup
port him. Some four Or five may net-but these
stories circulated for effect, aed to dispirit
the Democracy. We hope the Democrats will
shew these Wings how much they are flista-
ken. They seem very anxious that the Wing
candidate should receive large Democratic
vote, but appear unwilling to allow Democrats
to vote for their own candidate. To offset this
let the Democrats support their own candidate
and throw the other vote away. Let the Wings
do their own voting.
70 Our neighbors of the Spectator appear to
be somewhat alarmed lest a Democrat should
represent "Federaa Augusta" in The next Legis-
lature Of Virginia, and demonstrate its certainty
with mathematical accuracy, if the f,mily quar-
rel is permitted to progress. Such a result we
should be pleased to see, because, we believe a
Democrat could represent the local Interests Of
Augusta as well as WMig,-and the Spectator
will not deny that members Of lis own party
have repeatedly said, the State Legislature is not
the proper place to discuss measures OF Federal
policy. If this be true, we can see no reason
why Democrat of equal intelligence would not
make as good delegate as Wing. But the
Spectator asks emphatcally, 'can Democrat,
however intelligent and respectable represent
the Wing county of Augusta?' We reply that
he could, with as much nay, more propriety,
than Wing represented the Wythe Congress
sional District, with ma joIty of 1aeo Thou
sand against him, in the last Congress. Again,
why cannot Democrat representa- Wing coun-
ty in the Legislature as well as Wing can rep
resent a Democratic county, as in Highland; we
should like to see the distinction drawn. Now,
we know the fact that the Wings are calculat-
ing on Saunders drawing off from the support
of KEE votes enough to defeat the latter and
yet the Wings Of Augusta ask the question, how
can a Democrat represent Wing county We
ask, in reply, how can Wing represent Dem
ocratic State in the u S. Senate ? Are the ca
ses dissimilar any farther than that one repre-
seafs County the other a State ? If party IN
terests alone are to be represented the cases are
dentical-the Lawyer however, asked time to
consider when informed that it was his Bull
which had gored the Ok Of the Farmer. The
Wings have no just cause for complaiat-they
take advantage of the quarrels in the Democratic
family-why, then, should not Democrats take
advantage of wing quarrels- where's the differ
ence.
The Spectator pays compliment to the DEM
ocrats of Augusta, which was unlocked for. 1t
says, they, the Democrats) Railways waketul,
vigilant and organized, moving at the tap of the
drum and firing in concert !" That 10 just the
spirit the Democracy should exhibit at the pres
ent and at all future elections. Be watchful-
be vigilant-you may be overpowered but you
Cannot be conquered. We underestimate few
and but few-members OF the party profess to
entertain doubt about the success of the Demo-
cratic nominee. The same doubt might be ex-
pressed by solders-they might be defeated
and, hence would refuse to so into action. NO
true Democrat ever falters in his duty, and here
we may remark, that in our opinion, no Demo-
crat should vote for Whig if for no other rea-
son, because the Wings never vote for Demo-
crat, if It's possible to be avoided We, there
fore, suggest to the Democrats the propriety Of
voting for men of their own party, no matter
whom. 1t will be very easy for the Democracy to
single out some one of their NUMBER at the diff
fereut precincts, to be voted for in connection
with MIR. ApxEY--by doing otherwise the cleo
