Nov forcby says the Republican, with all the facts in
u ., fairer nomination than that of Thos H. Dsnio
xa. yer made and all the sophstry of the Vgnan can
not make anything else Of il The proceedings OF the Con-
v.n,on show ahead of every other candidate
on every ballot and yet the Vginan would have the peo
p believe that he Is the nominee of nine out OF twenty
three thousand voters Was such sarng and papabe ab
surdy ever heard Oft Four thousand five hundred and
thirty -four voters had nine 10 the Convention,
with instructions 10 vote for Mr. Daniel and yet the Viz
gnian would have that Mr. Daniel the nominee OF the
nine Beautiful logic that Besides, was no, Mr D., de-
cared The nominee by unanimous vote; not single os
scnna voice. Can the Firginau say much OF s can
ddac for the Legsaure7 How it that some hundred
whlss had presumption TO dictate the voters OF Lynch
burg should be their canddae7 Give the frgnian lhe
benefit of it's own rule and II will be placed in very awk

The democratic Convention which nominated hlr Daniel
was fairly constituted. Notice had been given 10 al! the
of the section have their delegates present. and
fair 10 presume that those which were not represented
were content abide by the choice OF the ConVenton
Before going into Convention al ALL II was asceraned mat
maoy of the democratic voters OF the section were re-
presented otherwise il is probable that nothing more han
would have been made Can the Virgnlan
say much OF that harmonious whg meeting which num'
| naed Mr.. Deane2
"Mr Daniel cannot be elected" So says the Nirgnian.
and we must confess that go positive declaration would
have frightened considerably had we mol been told 10 me
Good Book that false prophets should arise The very a"x-
ety that the vrguan manesls the subject shows very
plainly that Mr. Daniel Gun be elected. With democratic
majority of nearly thousand The section, and by Tar
the greater portion OF them reliable 10 emergency We
bid defiance oppositon wherever It may conc tfom-
Bring your milk and cider democrat and let every whg
for him. we'll give you three thousand in the game
and bea you then. Your cry ol paysm has become
stencil in the nostrs OF the people, and will not avail you
longer You have cried pO often 10 deceive US again.
The whig press tell day that our candidates ar.
because they obscure and the next day they
swear cannot elect candidate because he is mot
known! Dir. Daniel may no, be very well known to Inc
people of the section, but he s the less worthy He
will doubtless be better known The Virgniau al least,
about the 4lh Thursday in May
As lr Daniels views upon the question Of Internal
improvements they entirely satisfactory Il true, he
has not long been the advocate Of very extensive policy
but he ia all that could wish. Shall man, whose
whole life is monument 10 his honesty and capacity, be
condemned for what his opinions have been What would
Virgnian think Of Its pet Mard Fillmore he to be
Judged by his Buffao letter. Mr. Daniel has shown him
self be friend Of those great lines Of improve
which make Virginia what she ought long since
have been-which restore her TO her ancient
aown Commonwealth and place her ogan by the side
Of New York n her wealth and resources Such Mr..
Daniels views and call upon all true Democrats and To-
yers of Virginia to come TO his support
