do not know whether, by this announcement, we
are To understand that there dissatisfaction with the
present incuulDrut, arising either from inrnpnrity

DR.. Arch ID Graham was elected to this office two
years ago. for the constitutional term Of six years.

called upon early, to hold another election ny
should we not rc.cect him! He has shown himself

ought now to be accorded 10 him. Let me here say
that on this 1.-THE Westerly side of the AirSiany he

friend Of the Central Improvement, but nt the same
time we dslik. tu commit fortunes into the hands
OF gentleman whose interests prompt him to favor
another section of the State, and another and unnr-
tunatcly, to some extent rival Improvement. We
might say to our Lynchburg friends that when our
delegate is called upon to decide between 'meum and
"tuum,' We would prefer that his interests be not
identified with ''iuum." He might then be Ike Il
Judge in deciding the title To tract Of land, when nj
