aug loOO.
To the Editor of the Wig:
1t will doubt he gratifying to your numerous read
ers as well as to yourself to be informed that
virginia whose vote elected Mr. Letcher is doing glo
rious battle for Bell and Everett.
We have already had several rousng meetings Of the
Constitutional Union Party in this city and county, aud
and the greatest possible enthusiasm prevailed. Our
gallant elector A Bolton Caldwell is doing good service
in the cause. d. N. Edgington, Esq, and Col. j. S.
Wheat aud DR.. S II. Logan who are forcble and popu
lar speakers, have entered for the campaign Mr. whey
late candidate for Lieut. Governor delivered animated
and most eloquent speech Triadephia in this county,
to a large crowd Of Union loving men, and announced
his intention TO address the people in various portions Of
this district Mr. Caldwell and Mr.. Edgngton both ad
dressed the meeting, and were greeted with loud
applause.
il affords me great pleasure to state, that divers Old
Line Wings including many influential citizens who
voted for Buchanan, and have since then acted with the
Democratic party, have announced their intention TO
support Bell and Everett They say that Bell and Eve
rstt are the only candidates who defeat the Repub
can ticket.
Breckenridge is regarded here as having no chance
whatever and a large majority OF the Democracy will
vote for Mr. Douglas. You may safely estimate the ma
ory for the Union candidate in Ohio county thou
sand over Breckenridge In Brook county the Douglas
Democrats claim large majority over the Disunion
ticket In Marshall county the majority for Bell and
Everett will be very large. The real Democracy there
with Oldham in the lead will divide the Democratic vote.
We have the most cheering and reliable accounts from
Monongaia Preston, and Taylor counties, and indeed,
we have reason hope that this Congressional district
will give a majority for the Union candidates The
Northwest will do her whole duty in behalf Of the good
cause-D1ark thai.
Itis subject of some annoyance TO elector, A.
B. Caldwell that he should be COMPOUNDED in different
portions OF the State with A. Caldwell Esq, the Repub
can Senator from this district The first named gentle
man has never roamed in his attachment to the in
which he is so zeaousy engaged, and in justice TO him
please let the fact be noted Ii.
