GOOD NEWS FROM ACCOMAC.

T. tAs Editors IF lie Enquirer:
You nocd not be surprised if Aecomae gives Wise
three hundred majority. | d" not write without
knowing something of what | write ubont, and | form
my opinion from an intimate acquaintance IN every
part OF the county. and from conversations with intel
ligent know-Nnthings and auti-k now SOthinSs from
every neighborhood.
Two months since, il was conceded By Nlse's
friends, that the upper aud lower precincts would bo
nearly tied. Now, such has been tho change, and so
numerous the withdrawals, that We claim and will get

at the ten precincts in tho county, Wise will gota INA.

the vote was tuken to-day, but he will return aud ad-
dress the poople in three different parts Of the county
before the election; 80 you may Judge some moro
changes will be made i'll his favor. In every part ot
tho county the watchworI is mithJra~. and they do
withdraw. I.iave heard that, in one council, they
have broken up, burnt tho books and kicked the table
out Of door,. In another council, whore they num-
bercd over 80, 80 have Withdrawn; Is Of those left,
live i'll Maryland, and seven belonging to thai coun-
ell nc also lnembers OF another ccuncR, in n different
part Of tho county: thus each member is counted
twice.
Then it is not strange that the editor Of the Organ
should udd up 30 large Il number III the State, and IN
this county, when they count double and have a isrGe
number OF boys and citizens Of other States IN their
Councils. l have just heard OF al intelligent gentle.

Tho editor Of the Organ is u poor calculator, and
never took hold ut any thing, that ho did not break
it and himself down, land you know he has had nu-
merous %hobbiss.j we'll remember several years
since, whom he edited a lite pane of glass, Native
American paper in Missouri, no came TO Aecomnc on

and his paper both failed. and hG went TO South Ano-
rica oil another wild gO0nc chase. lie il something
like his proud Know-Nothing brother GOta, who,
once heard Mr.. Clay say, when he was running for the
Presidency, and they told him, that good old Judge
May and Bolts, both suid no would be elected by a
large majority. "Gentlemsn, AM n boaten man; l

General Bayly addressed the people Of Accomac
yesterday. His speech was generally approved of by
the Democrats, and not A sentiment was uttered that
was not purely Democratic.
After speaking of hs course as chairman of foreign
rotations, and his course generally on all the Brcat
Questions that have heretofore divided the two great
parties OF tho country, he derlhrcd lie WAS no Know
Nothing, that he was opposed TO all secret political So
cioties, that the representative had no right TO pohti-
cal secrets, that all political action should be opon aud
above board. He came to the religious or rather tho ir-
religious part Of the know-Nothing creed, and in his
donunciation of prescription on account Of q mans
religious belief, lu was truly aud touclingly eloquent.
he SAID he rould az soon commit murder, az tassper
"th a mans soul; that q mans religious belief was
with him and his God, and no man should be proscrlb-
ed on account OF il. And how those men who were
present, and who had sworn 70 prescribe their fellow
man on account of his religious belief, could suppose
General Bayly could ever join them in such an unholy
crusade, l am at a losb to know, especially when these
opinions Of Judge Bsyly, on the sacred right of reh-
sious freedom, were not new OF unknown to there pro-
scrlptlve gentlemen.
Much OF the capital made in this county by this
Span4sh party, was by representating' General
sayiy to es q know-Nothing, that he was to run
that hc was considered in Washington q kuow-Noth.
Ing, &c. But their days are nunb ored in Aecomae,
and on the twenty-fourth, she will be her self again.
