Ihe Democracy Of Virygsia--tieir choice for Pre-

GENTLEMEN: While the Democracy of other
States are making some manifestations towards
q candidate for the next Presidency, those of
| Virginia, 50 far as any public demonstration is
concerned, seem disposed to lie low and keep
dark" .sfst 4te9.fE .a.lFf4I III igHsga3
In some Of the Western States the honorable
Stephen A. Douglas, Of Illinois, seems to be the
! fayorite, while in other quarters preferences
have been expressed for different individuals.
eanSvanture to assert, however, 4frsmxali that
lean see and hear, that Judge Douglas is de-
cidedly the choice of the Democracy Of this
State, and mainly upon the ground Of availa-
bihty. He stands e-eminently high as o
patriot and MS a statesman, and would, if put
in nomination for the Presidency, command the
admiration and support Of the entire southern
Democracy His magnanimity, as displayed in
his public career his liberal and patriotic views
of national policy, and his great ability, are
sufficient guarantees that he would, if elected
make wise and safe President President
of the people.
Well, who is to be the Democratic candidate
for the Vice Presidency? l cannot divine ;
neither can any one else. / believe, however,
that the Democrats Of Virginia are looking for
a candidate. from this State for that Office
They have just grounds, think, for SO doing
If the Democratic ticket succeeds, / should like
to see the Offices of President and Vice President
filled with worthy men and true. The death of
Gen. Harrison, and of Gen. Taylor, shows that
the people are electing their President when
they think they are only choosing their Vice
President. 1t is proper, therefore, to be as
careful in selecting candidate for the latter
Office as for the former. .,.sa l.us. s.........
II capacity and merit are to be consulted we
know no man better suited either as candi-
date, or to fill the Office itself of Vice President
than William Daniel, jr., of this place ]; now
Judge of the Court of Appeals. His many no.
BILE and generous qualities, not less than his
brilliant talents, render him universally popu-
lar and esteemed. He is the son of Judge VIM
Daniel, deceased, formerly of this judicial cir
cult, has an extensive and influential relation
ship, represented this county in the Legislature
for several years with distinguished ability, and
would fill any Office with credit to himself and
advantage to the public. If Vice President
is to be had from Virginia, although he is a
thorough going Democrat, (save his politics, J
there is no one had rather see fill the Office
than Judge William Daniel; and believe this
| to be the sentiment of the Democracy of this
part of Virginia. JEFFERSON.
