her children visited the different polling booths had
smile and a courtesy ready for every voter, and
completely won tho hearts of the multitude, who
here elsewhere, ike to display Of domestic
ties. Another candidates wife in the country car
ried matters even further than did Lady John Rus
sell. Lady Mildred Hope, the daughter Of the lar
qus of Salisbury, and wife Of Mr.. Beresford Hope
who has just got in for afaIdstone-hy the admission
of all parties, carried the election for her husband
She did not exactly canvass for him, but all through
the election she was constantly driving about the
town: she also was more active at the nomination
and during the polling; and at the close. unable to
restrain hereof cay longer, she threw up the window
OF her hoel. and addressed the mob in speech
which everybody agreed was better than her hus-
bands, delivered Immediately afierward from the

This is a practical demonstration Of Woman
Rights" such as We could have hardly expected in

For The Enquirer.
TILE OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL.

Messrs Edtors-The honor Of filling and discharg
ing the duties OF this important office is elictng un.
bounded interest throughout the old Commonwealth
Every section of the State believe has presented
some distinguished urist for this important and re.
sponsible station We agree with the Enquirer that
in filling the Office, enlightened councils, with an eye
TO the best interests of Virginia, should prevail: but
still we think that even handed justice should hold
the beam, without casting the sword OF Brennus into
either scale yet where merit aud qualification pre-
ponderate neither way that portion OF The State
which has been most neglected in filling State aud
Federal offices, should have the controlling weight.
II we we're to be controlled by our predections and
left to decide this question, should unhesitatiDgy
confer the honor upon James Lyons Esq, as the
man OF our choice; but with the obligations resting
upon us to that section of the State, the "Tenih LIE
gon," which has more than once prevented our flag
from trailing in tho dust, We could not prove go re-
creant to duty, to justice aud to patriotism, as TO
withhold from thar portion of the State her just
rights. This section OF the Old Commonwealth has
stood by our flag in six troubles, and will not desert
it in the seventh, if that spirit of magnanmity and
Justice so essential to union and harmony shall char
acterise the proceedings of the Convention soon TO
assemble. Them trust that the honor will
be conferred upon OF the Valleys favorite son7
The man whose legal reseach the Legislature of Viz
gna has already endorsed is the man, all things con:
Sidered, for tho office Justice to all sections H. and
will ever be our motto. Clyis.
