Gentlemen Many Democratic friends "t ihi-. and
other counties in the district, are anxious that Mr..
James Barbour Of Culiepcr county should represent
them in the next Congress we, therefore,, taKr ms
occasion 10 request ;ha, hc will AZ once annuuncc him
SELF Il candidate, subject 10 a convention, that being
the best and only plan by which we can sarc the Gus
tricr to the Democrats. Will Mr.. Harbour, when this
meets his eye, respond .
L. there d;ssntisfucrinn with us. the Democrats OF
this region TO Mr.. Wise We will answer unhsS-
iiatincly, NO. MIR. Wise, although ns their choice
for the nomination." is now the choice for election, and
will not luss in our county, scarcely e Democratic
vote. No, not one that we know Of. BESIDES should
the Know-So,hings make Il nomination., which We b"'
lievs thew arc determined 10 10, us much for the pur-
pose Of bringing the Wing party Il success over Mr..
Wisc-in lhut event Mr.. Wise will command many,
very many Wing votcs-1 mean those Wings VIII"
rise and fall upon whit they c"nsi"cr principle. W."
must, however, admit that there n" some Democrats,
nor in this county, tut in the district, as we have
learned, who have not as vet came out IN favor OF MIR.
Wise. Perhaps those who see proper to adopt TINS
course feel some disappointment even they, 1t i
thought ut the las; moment, will be found right SIDE up.
There are rome who cannot we'll account Tor the ST.
lcncc Of iEe Democratic paper published IN Ale1an'
drin. The prospectus did not inform us TINT It was TO
Lee n neutral Vnpcr-pcrhnps il is holding back to the
end, that some one more 10 their mind will vet be III
exposition to Mr.. Wise. Vain hope, however. That
rapcr is mainly supported by by the Democratic par
~. Justice requires that it should extend the same lib
erality 10 the party. MANY DEMocHATs.
