The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1851-11-22


nave last seen the result OF the congressional cleo
lion IN the district Of Virginia in which G. w Summers
esq me embodiment OF federal whiggery resides And
wha' 90 you suppose the result in the twenyone coun
nes composing that district! Why, will tell you: Col
J. III H. beae, the late member has been returned TO
congress by the unprecedented majority of eleven hun
drsd and ninetyssvsn Uoes So much for one congress
siohai uistIic III Vrglnla-and that district in the
very section OF the Commonwealth where would rea-
soaabiy be supposed the federal candidate for gov
efhof would at least make some show OF strength in
Tue contest IN which he is now engaged This district
is also The residence of Colonel Joseph Johnson, the
democratic nominee for governor and any man with
hall an eye can see that what Mr. Stuart predicted in
reference TO MIR Summers will be fully verified and that
he WIN be more than elected" governor of Virginia
With l'eefve hundred majority against him in his own
us'rc' lor Congress, where will the majority stop
wheh nir Summers grapples with the sterling old
pafot colonel Joseph Johnson before the people' will
be hue short OF two thousand majority That peculiar
section OF our State has long known the services OF
Colonel Johnson and has sustained him triamphantly
in many heated contest But in none of those gone BY
did the federal candidates ever cover themselves with
the cloak OF partysm" That has been reserved for
Mr. Summers.
Oi the twenty one counties composing the district Of
Colonel ale gave federal maorties and fourteen
gave democratic majorities In like manner will the
whole Allegheny slope to the Ohio river record its vote
mers the falhment OF the prophecy of MIR. Stuart, that
he will be "more than elected" | have no doubt but
the banner county OF this congressional district, named
after the Napoleon OF the Press will be tue banner county
OF the State OF Virginia in favor of Col Johnson Writ
and Barbour Doddridge and Gilmer may do their utmost
but their efforts will be fruitless
Mr. Summers has visited Liberty, Lynchburg Peters
burg, Richmond and Alexandria, and is now somewhere
in the county OF Loudoun. When he has finished his
task there, he goes Chaesown (not in his own fede-
raj kanawha bu in Jefferson county These places are
all mostly federal Indeed believe they are all Of the
blue stripe. Hence it is that Mr. Summers makes his
displays where " kindred spirits dwell" There is no
harm in that; and there is no harm done by his per-
ambulatons in the Old Dominion Colonel johnson
is the central route, but Mr. Summers on the out
skrts, and is now with Mr. Janney Who at one time in
the late convention. was thought little eckled
with reform but he has forgotten all these things, and is
now engaged in persuading the Loudoun voters to come
to the polls and vote for Mr. Summers who is federal
list, and one too, who proclaimed himself in advance an
opponent OF the new constitution If majority Of the
people of Loudoun will continue in darkness we cannot
help but certainly the democracy will be idle in
that county, when such things being done by the fed
eralists in open day They must be up and DOING and
by all MEANS lend helping hand TO defeat the federal
candidate OF the federal party.
COL Watts. regret to learn, has been quite indsposed
but his health is somewhat improved presume he
VIII be on MS Journey TO wheeling shortly, health per-
hitting The in which he is engaged is a cause
desperate and depicting enough, in all conscience, to
make the strongest in health anguid and sick and
am not at all surprised at the prostraon of Mr. Watts
when consider that he is engaged in contest that has
Frustrated thousands before him. The Old Dimnion i,
not federal in sentiment; it never has been, and j
never will be, and for the best in the world
which is. that such principles antagonstical
those taught by her Jefferson and her Madison. TIL,
of these saoes. distinguished republican pu
rity is not lightly to be set aside, and spurious repub
canism, under the guise of no. party federalism, sub
,titu,ed in its place We would advise Mr.. Watts &c
return home and be content Ii is "foosh TO be wise
in contest where there is no hope OF success.
