is notorious fact hai the large ot the Wing party
will not listen such proposition ~ being represented
in Whis Districts 10y Democrats Were there any doubts OF
this being the policy Of the Wings we would call attention
the following extract from the ynchbur" Patriot one oil
the leading Wing organs Of the State:
ro every Wing therefore, say preserve nri1lac the
fsy you the noble party oil which YOU are mem

Let the Wings then in every convention district assem-
bic and nominate their best and strongest men, Let them
leave no stone ununed in order TO elect he and we pre-
dict many good results the deliberations oil that body,
which is 50 10 furnish us with new government
We in like manner call upon friends to discard all ap

MEMBERS OF THE CONVENTION.
"A Subscriber in Saturdays Enquirer, * mistaken III
supposng 1899 John Marshall was sent 70 the Con
venon by Fauquer lie was sent from The i;ichmond Dis
trict.
In making this correction 10 he understood As
being opposed to the object OF ~ Subscriber II is not
only true he states that Augusta sen, Chapman Johnson
who then resided i'll Richmond. but Nj Leigh was sent
from The Chesterfield District and Mr.. Sanard from The
Spottsyvania District There instances then ol men
being sent 10 the Convention ONLY by Districts which
thew did reside but by Districts having different views
theirs the question whether General Jackson should
President. 1t thought then OF less Importance u"
send the Convention who agreed with the Districts
federal politics than and men who well qualified
10 discharge the duties dcvovcd members OF the Conven
tion and could ably sustain tie views of their Districts on
the questions coming before Now see The Democratic
editors are in favor changing all that and to counsels
prevail tho Rclnona District VIII not -tni MI patton
and Alexandria aud Fairfax not concur with Prince
William and Stafford in srndinc Mr. Moncurc.
We NAV assured that the contrast between tho con
yention Of 1929 and 1850 Will De- sufficiently : TO
motfy any Nrgnian who asanv State pii' without tdc'
everlasting efforts By the propagation oi minor s"r'" pro
