this officer, We do sincerely trust, that ms western
end Of the district, having had the pleasure oi Coi'
Boyd's services who halls from mar quarter
MIR. Daniel may be warmly supported oy the voters
throughout the entire South side section OF country
he hailing from the Eastern or tide water section.
Now, in regard 10 the qualifications oil MT. Daniei,
We beg leave TO cay, that he has had large legislative
experience, having served several sessions IN pom
branches of the General Assembly, with credit to him
self and the constituents be 50 ably ana exceiIen.y
represented; and permit US to say, that ne IS so popu-
lar in his section that there is no position, either state
or Federal, for which they would not cordially and
strongly support him, knowing rs they DO mat he is
an honest, upright and high minded gentleman, Is well
as a man of sound, sober judgment and discretion
Should Mr.. Daniel be elected 70 tins position, We can
safely affirm, that the internal improvements OF the
State will not suffer so long as he has a voice IN the
matter; and that ample justice will be rendered to all
sections of the State; his sole object being to keep up
the credit, and maintain the honor OF old Virginia, by
adopting such system in regard 10 her internal I'm
provements, and their management by sound, dis
Greet, practical men, as will reflect great honor on this
good old Commonwealth 10 the latest posterity; his
never fading motto being "the greatest good to the
greatest number"
We therefore urge upon the voters of the South
Side section, TO bear in mind that MIR. Ihos. III. Daniel
will most certainly receive HI overwhelming vote
and "a the South West has declared her intention &c
support him, we in Eastern Virginia promise TO ac'
our part in good faith towards the election OF this
gentleman. oouTH-oiDE
