THE WORK GOES BRAVELf ON.

7, I he seen from tho subuincd proceedings, that the
Democracy Of DinwiJdc have appointed delegates TO The
Saunton Convention, and have organized County Com
miltcc of Vigilance. This promgiuic is suspicious III
shows that the Democrats of D!nwiddc mean 10 do their
duty We perceive (sIys Petersburg SouthSide Demo-
craft tho Wings have rc.nominntrd Mr. Goodwyn but they
will not and cannot re-cIcct him. The Constitution
will destroy tina. foreign which heretofore has deter
mined the event OF the Dnwddc elections. Mr. GOODWIN
may have the barren honur of election in October but in
December very large majority Of his fellow citizens will
bid him stay home. We woad suggest to the Democrats
Of other counties the proprcy OF following the example Of
Dinwidc in organizing county committees and appointing
delegates Staunton.
