WRIT c. H., Va, July t. 1856.
Messrs. Editors-I would add few lines in relation
| to politics in Writ. The Democracy in the recent
election in the county swept everything before them,
| and utterly defeated the Know. Nothings and drove
them even from their strong holds. We have whipped
them twice after oil their boasts and brngs the first
| time had. the second worse and this fall we shuli
beat the last bit of life out of them, ii they show
| fight. Sam is dead dead not the Immortal,
the God like Fillmore of the grsh American party.
can galvanze him into new life. Rtchie, our neigh.
boring county, claims to be the little gem in the way
of hunting down tho invisible San and ihrashlnG the
very ears Off his head; but We boys OF Writ are
modest troup of lads and scarcely ever call on even

wealhs Attorney by about 5O majority, our Sheriff
by abou, 23D majority, Commissioner of the Re-
venue aud fifteen Democratic Magistrates out of six.
een and he, the sixteenth, was only elected by tour
naiority after getting uil his own parlys vote, and
| eighteen Democratic votes besides; even hun We
might claim, but vii! not, we are for pure bsods
or none. Now. neghbor Richie, are we not at least
| your equaisl leu, have We Not claim TO hehc
credit than yourselves, considering your iorner
large Democratic majority, and our exceeding small
une it. indeed We had one at oil! We did some good
! fighting for Wise, Lewis aud Hays; we have done
some better for our county officers: and now that we
have our hands in we are resolved, with Gods help,
TO do some OF the talest fighting this fall you ever
|
| appropriately terms it.. We feel that we can battle
for init ticket with heart and will that shall never
brook defeat. We are proud of IT. and now, neigh
| bor Rtchie, we respectfully throw down the glove,
| and challenge you to comparison OF f0;es next No
venhcr; then ii you beat US, will honor you with

We would suy to the Democracy Of Virginia, stand
