From the Aocomack, Va, Congressional District
To the Editor of the american Organ:
SIR: IL Is the universal impression with US that
Mr.. Fillmore's prospects are every day improving
in Virginia. ! must confess that have had little
hope of his success In Virginia but hear con-
trary opinions from 80 many and respectable quar-
ters that am disposed to distrust the correctness
Of my own. 1t ID now thought that very large
portion of the old-line Whigs-nearly the whole
Of them-wiI support the Fillmore and Donelson
ticket In an extensive acquaintance In some
twenty counties of Eastern Virginia, i know OF
bat too old-liners who will support Buchanan. III
there were perfect unanimity in the Wing vote,
there would not be doubt of the American ticket
carrying the State. An extensive circulation OF
good documents, and an active, energetic canvass,
/ am satisfied, would make our victory certain. q
Let me give you an example of the good effect
of circulation OF documents. Happening some
time since in Washington and Baltimore, pur-
chased twenty dollars worth of documents, and
distributed them in person. in the proper quarters,
and thus far know some dozen and more CONVEX
sions to Fillmore. One thorough, conscientious
oldline Wing, was on the verge of going over to
Buchanan, but a pamphlet copy of Fillmore's
speeches, delivered since he returned from Europe,
made strong an impression upon him, that he be-
came at once one of his most enthusiastic support
ers. The able speech of Senator Adams, of Mis-
sissippi has cured many, to my knowledge of their
prejudces against the American party. Let an ex-
ecutive committee in each county to the circu-
lation Of the right sort of documents, and / sol
EMMY believe that the State will be carried for
Fillmore.
The work Is going on In this first Congressional
and seventh electoraD district, just as it ought.
II could be assured that every district in the
State were making the effort that il going here,
would venture all am worth that the Demo-

Mr.. Mapp, OF Accomac, has made, in good por-
ton of the district, most powerful and effective
speeches for the American cause He is fine
speaker, very superior, and perfectly posted. His
exhibitions on the hustings have taken by surprise
even his most intimate acquaintances, because, no
doubt, as it often happens, opportunity for devel
opment alone was wanting. His address in York
town was mastery vindication of the American
party, and masterpiece of argument and fine
speaking.
Mr.. NJ. was, in the start, an independent candi-
date for Congress, but learn that since conven-
ton of the district has nominated another he will
withdraw, and take the field for the nominee OF
the Convention. This is indeed the true spirit.
DR.. Yerby, the American elector for the district,
has done noble service. He has made some of the
most effective addresses / ever heard from the
hustings. His speech at Hampton, was, of his
opponent and his cause, absolutely overwhelming,
and of the American party most conclusive, ire
sistible vindication. 1t was the most perfectly
effective popular address ever listened to. 1t is
to be much regretted that i'll health requires DR..
Yerby to cease his labors for trip to the Springs,
but it is to be hoped that Mr.. Mapp or some other
champion, will supply his place.
Mr. Saunders. the American candidate for Con-
gress, will be elected by very large majority, I
think 1000. His opponent, Mr. Garnett, is an ac-
complished and talented gentleman, but he is in
mo- tn Mr. he Iaff ID
questionably, one of the most polished intellects
in the State out of it, and is the possessor to
very high degree of that popularity which is alone
worth the having--that which is awarded to dis
tinguished abilities and eminent virtue to lofty
dignity and independence; and to pre-emnent
moral worth. Pat him down certain as member
of the next Congress Yours, truly y.
