For The Spectator.

.uessrs Editors The time is at hand that We
should be looking around and see who are the
most prominent men that would do honor to old
Augusta In representing her in the next Leglsla-
ture of Virginia. In so doing, cast eye on Hugh
w. Shelley, for the Senate, and Capt. Kenton
Harper, Col. John B. Baldwin and Bolivar Chris
tan, for the House ofDelegates, men in every
respect capable to represent us In the next Ieus-
lature and it would be useless in me to pass any
eulogy upon these men, as to their fitness in every
respect to represent this county. These men have
few connexions in this county, and would have to
be elected by their own merits, and not depending
upon family connexiop for their success to office
of any kind. o.
think it is high time that the people of Vir-
ginla would send such men to the Legislature as
are able to discuss any. and every measure that
would be brought before them, and not prolohging
the time. of the session by buying nuts, candies,
&c., &c., from the .HtLatto Ladies, who have ia
bles coniectionares strewed all round the Hall
In the Capitol, where most of our members of the
state spend not less than twenty-five thousand
iOllars OF their constituents money. Every good
, hsizen ought not to vote for any candidate that
is not IN favor of abolishing those eating establish
ments which are kept in the Legislative Halls
AS we are about to 90 iutoa Convention in
~" o~yS' uo uoPe thdt Tie tHeIEnerS OF tnat Con-
Vehtlon VIII not nominate or suggest their rela-
tives as candidates for the Legislature, which has
been the good old custom for some time past.
In conclusion, Messrs Editors, there is one good
trait in Democracy that admire, and it is this,
that they will select their ablest men, and pack
them into office if they possibly can and SO ought
the Wings OF this county rally to the support of
thelrs, with one consent If such men as above
mentioned will be the nominees, with many
others, will yield hearty support.

For the SDectOtOr.

.uessrs Editors According to the apportionnent
for delegates to the county convention as publish
ed in your paper, it seems that the town Of Staun-
ton, constituting as it. does portions of two dis
tricts, may have the power to give itself undue
proportion in the convention. To avoid any
GROUND for charge of unfarness, or ''town influ-
eace," would therefore suggest that the pTima-
~ meetings in districts No. |. and 2, would in
the appointment of delegates be careful to, name
fair proportion from the .eoqgtry around and be-
yond the town. COUNTRY CAUTION. 3,
