Richmomds in the Field.

Three valiant knights have already entered the
lists in this Congressional District, each and all
of whom are Determined to do or die. The last
Buckingham Register" contains the announce
ment of Mr.. John T. Harris, knight of Rock
town, and also communications calling upon DR.,
Newman and Judge Kenney, to take the field.
How many we shall find grabbing at the old
shoes before month has elapsed it is impossi-
bic to conjecture. Rockbridge has not as yet
shown her hand, restrained we fear by motives
of false delcacy. There is no sound reason why
some of the young bnods up that way should
not take tilt. Oae of her sons having served
SO much to the satisfaction of the people of the
District, it is but fair to presume that they would
be prepossessed in favor of that locality. We
hope then to see at least two Of the many capa,
bic and aspiring young Democrats ofRockbriGge
consent to serve the dear people. We also most
earnestly request five or six more from Rocking
ham aud Shenandoah, to signify their willing
ness to sacrifice their private interests for the
public veal. Doubtless there are some two OF
three in Bath, Pendleton, aud Hardy who would
consent to be inundated upon the altar of their
country, aud in the event that all these are not
sufficient to make the thing interesting, we think
some six or eight more may be found in Angus
ia who woald speak when they are spoken to
come when they are called"
We desire to see not only fair field, but Q
full feld-not only free fight, but terocious
fight that viii make the fur fly to all points
of the compass, and we have not promised tC
see fair play except upon this condition. Each
candidate must do his best to demOlish his op
ponent and prove beyond all question that he il
not "all right on the goose" Everybody know:
that the slavery question is the one grand over
shsdowing issue in this District, and consequent
ly there must be, before the day of election
general defining Of positions. The people mus
know exactly where every tub stands, an(
whether it is standing upon its own BOTTOM

,Opment in order that the voters may give thei
sutfrages ntelligentiy. They will be PARTICULAR.
anxious to know which one of the candidate
will reliEquish the infamous doctrine "to tn
victOrs belong the spells, " or in other words tina
all the bread and meat belong to the Demoora

enlightenment, ami which may go far to infu
