Depend upon II, ifShe friends Of Mr.. Wise cal

Sam has effected wonderful changes in Shenan-

Q. Fl. May l4th:
1T e contest wakes hot Sans machine has
been doing fine business lately. Forty seveu
rave been added to his already numerous family
within the last three days No doubt you hear Of
many Withdrawals In this and adjoining counties
There is no truth in these reports A Democrat,
just arrived, who has travelled extensively in the
West, reports the West rs gone for the American
icket, but consoles himself with the idea that
the Democrats will give us the devil in the East
Stand from under"
WEsrnoaELAsD.--A gentleman from Westmore-
land, says" In my precinct, where the Demo-
cratic vote has averaged seventy, Wise viii not
getfve!
YoaK CousrY--IIere we are fully aroused we
hall give the American ticket larger majority
than was ever given for any party. The foreign
.nemy surrendered to the patriots of the revou
ion on the plains Of York, and the Wise foreign
Cltholi, party win meet with as signal defeat In
this county, now as then. Our majority will GER
tainly be 800 and perhaps may reach $40. We
have not had single withdrawal and are daily
.ddi' 6 to our councils.
TIE CENTRE ALL RaHr-The Lynchburg Vir-
,inian has received letter from one Of the best
informed citizens of Augusta, who, after express
ing the opinion that the majority for Letcher (who
is much stronger than Wise) might be reduced
from over 1000 to under l,000 If he were opposed
by the right sort Of man, goes on to say:
az deem our cause very prosperous here. do
not doubt that we shall carry the county BY at
least 1000 majority--it may be 200. We have
over 1000 inside members, and there have been
scarcely any Withdrawals.
any information is somewhat general, and from
III can hear, am more sanguine than ever OF
success, and whilst have never believed that our
majority In the State will be anything like as large
as some gentlemen have supposed, still think II
will be very decided Candid and intelligent
Democrats here are Of the same opinion. Betting
on the general result has ceased, because OF the
timidity Of the other side. Some weeks ago good
deal of betting was done. Not 80 now
"Stuart's speech here on the 9Th has had most
salutary effect. It was a master effort and was
heard by an immense audience. composed Of all
parties. regret that the state OF his health has
prevented him from addressing the people at other
important points of the State. He may do so du-
ing the ensuing week.
1.-THE neiehboring counties Of Rockingham,
Rockhridge, Bath, Highland, Pendeton and Hardy
will do gloriously. You may rely on this"
RooRBAcKs writer in the Lynchburg Vir.
gnian gives us striking picture of the despera-
ton to which the spoils ary are redused. He
avs that rumors were circulated that there had
been seventy-fve Withdrawals in the city Of Lynch
burg in one week chen there had not been one.
Another rumor was to the Ell, CT that there had
been, in another week, 80 Withdrawals. There
had been In fact 8. A third bore that the whole
organization had been disbanded; whereas it has
received since July last 400 members, and since
The Winchester convention l72, only Al having
withdrawn during all that time. OF this number five
withdrew from personal considerations alone, and
will vote the whole American ticket--eleven with
rew to enable them to vote for particular persons
on the local ticket being influenced by the ties OF
relationship or other considerations of private
nature intending to vote for the rest Of the Amor
lean ticket
We learn that the American party Of Richmond
have nominated the following gentlemen as candi-
dates for the House Of Delegates: Robert O. Sta
nard, Henry K. Ellyson, and Hiram B. Dickinson.
Dickinson Is a Democrat.

In May, 1855, A Doctor Harris, addressing the De-
mocIacy Of Richmond styled the Know-Nothngs
Pole Cats. Wise pronounces them lousy, Christ
less, cowardly assassins and conspiratos, and says
he would rather be ruled by the Pope at Rome
Than the loye-feast rulers Of these parts. Pryor,
editor Of the Richmond Enquirer says the Cath
bic Church has been the frmest friend Gas q
church, that Republicanism ever had, and that no
Iriehman had ever turned traitor, while an Ameri-
can had betrayed bis country, and q Jew betrayed
his Saviour. oh, Benedict Arnold, Judas and Ri
