.Nessrs Editors I'm yo1r paper of the 2nd in
slant noticed Il characterization Overthe signature
of ''Nlany Voters,' recommending me as a suita-
bic individual TO represent in part, the county Of
Augusta in the next General Assembly of Virgin
ia. Of course ieel grateful to "Mapy Voters
for the very complimentary mannerln viii Ii they
have been pleased to allude to my qualifications
for so high and responsible position as that Of a
legislator. Whilst greatly disrust my qualii-
cations and experience for such position as that
for which have been recommended, neverthe-
less fully recognize the unIuestionable right of tn.
p ople to demand the public services Of any one
of their number at any time. In doing SO, how
ever. mt be allowed to remark, that in my
judgement the selection Of men to fill offices OF
hGr o. and trust, a special regard should at
all lines. be had 70 age, perence and sound po-
litical Judgment. HadI any aspiration for the po-
sition alluded to, it would in my opinion, be i'm
proper to assume any position calculated in any
way. to disturb the harmony the Wing party
at this time. 1t is generally understood that a
County Convention will be gotten up in few
days for the purpose Of making the proper nomi-
nations. and. if fairly constituted, have no dpnbt
it will be entirely satisfact ry to the whole Wing
party Of the county, and the best means of reflect
ING their will and of harmonizing any discord that
might otherwise exist. ID. MCCALL.
