TIM GrBrRSiTonTu QUESTION ~ vRGNra.--
To the exclusion Of all other subjects. the Rich
mond democratic organs are absorbed in the dis
cussion Of Hon. John Lctcher claims to the party
nomination for Governor, which IL shortly 10 be
made by the State Convention. Neither the
Mexican imbroglio nor the Cuban question. nor
the Walker flibusters, nor the Rochester mani
festo Of W. II. Seward nor the Illinois election.
nor the approaching session of Congress, nor the
Paraguay expedition, nor the African slave
trade, nor Kansas. nor the ruling prices of mig
gers. appear TO have any charms for our Rich
mond democratic organs II IL all Lctcher or
ant-Letcher with them, and for very good rca-
son. The nomination of Letcher has become a
test question between the Wise clique and the
Hunter clique for the vote Of Virginia at the
Charleston Convention of 1860 II is held that
Lctcher's nomination will be equivalent 10 Civ
ing the State to Hunter for the next Presidency.
and that Letcher's defeat will be tantamount TO
the vote Of Virginia for Governor Wise. So that
the scufile and struggle among the Virginia de-
mocracy over a candidate for Governor Is really
the beginning Of the next Presidential campaign.
Leicher will probably win, and then we may look
out for squalls among the chiyalry.
