Changes In western vtrginis


Changes In Western Virginia.
We havelearned from undoubted au.
thority that Judge JohuJ. Allen will vote
for Buchanan. The Judge is an old.line
Wing. aud gentleman Of great purity of
character as we'll as extensive legal; az.
tainmen!s. He taxes the choice for the.
sake OF the country. We also lean that
Judge Fulton. another gentleman of fue
legal requirements and pure character,
and an old-line Wing. also makes tie same
choice. Upon the subject of changes.
the Lewisburg Chronicle furnishes US
with the following interesting account in
that section of the country.
eve have for some time known of
Judge Aliens purpose to vote for Mr..
Buchanan, but we felt delicacy in pa
rading his name before the public; but as
his position has been noticed in the pub
lie press. VIC no longer feel restrained
from noticing in the Chronicle his inten-
ton to vote the Democratic ticket in No.
Vember. We are glad that it is in our
power to record the fact that so pure, so
learned, and so conservative gentleman,
as Judge Allen, though all his life Wing.
deems it now patriotic duty to vote for
the nominees of the Democratic party.
The concession Of Judge Fulton, too, is
important. He has heretofore been a
staunch Wing. and few years ago. rep
resented the Abingdon District in Con-
gress. as a Wing. But he now sees tina!
the Democratic party is the only national
party in existence, and as patriot he
feels bound to support his nominees.
1--WE learn, too, that Judge G. D..
Camden. of the Harrison circuit. an old
line Wing, aud gentleman of great in
teIligence, intends voting for Buchanan.
Judge G. is a man Of much influence, and
his accession to the Democratic ticket
will have great weight in North Western
Virginia. -..ss..--a-
cit is evident from all the facts that we
can gather. that the conservative portion
of the old line Mhiss nre now using their
influence for tho nominees of the Demo-
cratic party. ThoughLless persons may
think strange of this, but it is necessity
of the times. We are only astonished
that any intelligent, rejecting Wing,
should hesitate as to his choice. How :
ever national Mr.. Fillmore may be, the
party arging his claims is not national.
This Is An indisputabie fact, and should
influence NATIONAL men of every party to
va = the Democratic ticket in November.
The Dam cratic party is a national party.
lis pnsi'i"n before the country is national,
anil for this reason it should receive the
suppurL Of ail national men. -.
t'We deem it not improper here to say.
hat the best feeling pervsdes the De-
m"era' is ranks in this region. The &C.
crssi1ns from the Know Nothing party 10

GU, 10 enumerate. In Fayette, too, all is
right. Col. A Calder Bailey. young
lawyer OF promise, and son Of Judge E.
Is. Bailey, reared whig. but more re-
Gently one of Sans followers. has come
uut,f Buck aud Brock, and is doing all
he can in the country for the success oil
the Democratic party. Many others in
Fayette. who like Col. Bailey. were Sc
duced by Sam about a year ago, to enter
the culvert. have declared for the Demo
cratic nominees, and give every assurance
that they are sick OF the dark lantern par.

1--WE are pleased to add here, that we
learn that our old friend. j. Coleman,
ESQ, late Commonwealth Attorney for
Fayette, and consistent Old Line Wing,
has declared his intention to vote for
Buchanan. Mr.. G is one of the few men
of our country whose judgement may
err, but his heart never. All his impul-
SEES are pasriotic-he has no other aim
than his country's good.
a. Monroe gave US an indication last
spring Of her respect for Sam. by electing
Democratic Sheriff over the Know-noth
ing nominee. by about 80 majority. She
promises to do even better for Buchanan.
1t will be remembered that Monroe gave
Flournoy majority of $50.
''In Pocahontas and Allegheny there
has not been such great changes as in
other counties in this region, from the
fact that the thing has been pretty much
anti>Sam heretofore. But we have from
these counties the most cheering intelli.
gence. In a conversation with an intelli-
gent Ola Line Wing merchant. of Huns
tersvile, q few weeks ago, we learned
that he was a Buchanan man, and that
Pocahonlas was all right for Buck and
Breck.
These are some of the indications in
this region, but the tale is not half told.
The figures after the election will tell a
more satisfactory story"
