The Virginia Campaign.

L
foregnism, Romanism, and demagoguism
The Virginia Campaign.
We copy from the Richmond Post and other
Virginia papers received since Saturday the follow
| ing political intelligence:
| Notwithstanding the ridiculous statements Of
the antiAmercan press in regard to the objections
| and host Of other dire calamities said by them,
| to have overtaken the American party, we still
continue to receive the most encouraging accounts
from every section. Our prospects certainly indi-
cate the election of the whole State ticket-cight
| out of thirteen Congressman, and majority at
least Of the Legislature.
The American ticket viii sweep the West like a
tornado. Says letter from Kanawha: "The
friends of McComas in this county, are making
great efforts to reduce the vote against him. So
| far with but little effect. We confidently expect
to carry the county by 1000 majority. The work
goes brayely on. Our congressman will be elected
by 1000 majority"
| MAsoN.-The voice of the freemen Of Mason will
strike the ears of Wise and his confederates with
stunning effect We are now preparing grand
demonstration in behalf of the American cause
The tickets are out, and the people invited to
attend regardless of old party ties Sam is in full
feather, managing everything in his own peculiar
way. A letter says: "You may set down Mason
at not less than 400 for the American cause"
GLEs.-The American banner has now been
unfurled in this county some months. Sans Roll
Book contains the names Of the best Of all parties
and our advices are that "on the oath of May
there will be great falling off on the Democratic
side. The roll win doubtless be called, but to an
army without banners or men,"
| HARRIsoS.-A letter from Harrison says " This
county, you are aware, gave johnson, our present
| Governor, large majority. For our next, Thos.
s. Flournoy, she win do the same. Our county
ticket is now in the field, fighting hard for the
cause. Sam will more than do his duty here. Our
accessions are daily and nightly"
| GRKrSBRIKR.-From this county we have the in
tellgence that " Flournoy, Beale, and Patton win
assuredly roll up tremendous majority on the
Gath Of May. Everything Is harmonious and de-
termined. Greenbrier viii be the banner county
in this great American revolution. Nothing can
stay the ground-swell"
| FRox THE NoRrHwEsr.-From the Northwest
that L. the portion Of Virginia north and west Of
the Allegheny mountains, we are permitted to give
the following extract of q letter from official
| sources
"We now number 2ol councils and about 26,-
600 members, and increasing rapidly. As 10 with
drawals, there has not been 100 Withdrawals out
side Of Harper's Ferry.
81 think when the vote is counted from the
West, that Mr.. Wise win find at least 49, 900
against him."
The reader viii bear in mind that this Is official,
and We respectfully call upon the Junto, II they
deny the statement az to Withdrawals, to gire Nc
the names.
Mn WISE THE Sow or FKDKRALIsr.-The Pc
tersburg Intelligencer has been looking over the
old journals Of legislative proceedings, and fnds
the following facts In the year 1900 Mr.. wses
father was member Of the Virginia House Of Del
egates In January of that year a resolution was
offered to instruct the Virginia Senators in Congress
stevens T. Mason and Wilson Carey Nicholss)
ITO procure repeal Of the acts Of Congress COM
monty called the Alien and Sediton laws" This
resolution was carried by vote Of lo2 to 40. The
first man voting NAT tae father ofhe present
Democratic candidate for Governor Henry a.
Wise So Mr.. Wise's father actually voted to re-
tain the Alien and sedition laws upon the national
statute. What do the people think now Of Mr..
wise's abuse Of the Federalists and Of everybody
descended from Federalists.
Hal Hal HAi--Mr Irving In bis speech at Rich
mond, the other night, when speaking Of the
Democratic principles, said: "When the bank,
distribution, and internal improvement bills, not
! forgetting such rsrouITrrs as he HUNTER LAND
BILL, had been forgotten, the principles Of the
Democratic party would shine like the morning
SUM-"
Charley is prime fellow, an honest man, and a
gentleman. He tells, too, the plessantest jokes in
the pleasantest manner in the world but we pro
test against his remaining in the city any longer.
He ia doing us private injury. Our trade at this
time Is to expose the dereictious Of opponents
Can't any one see that our occupations gone, when
the Locofoco orators expose the qualifications
the " stupidifies," and the "INIoUrTIEs" Of the
Junto 30 coolly and 30 effectuallyf
Take him out Of the city, then; or, If you can't
do that, for mercy's sake, take him off from Hun.
