WHEELING Va, Oct 10, 1860.
Thinking that a little information on the subject Of
Replblcspigm in Virginia might be agreeable 10 your
many readers take the liberty Of addressing yoa
line or two. OF course you are aware that in 1870,
there were polled in Virginia 29 Republican votes,
and that the party in Wheeling being very weak IN
numbers, were mobbed by set Of rowdies; bu. this
mobbino by the rowdies AID the opposition by the
psope did not cool the enthu iasm Of the little baud of
Republicans here; it only foussd Them for mghuer
effort in the foture This effort fr the last four years,
they have been makirg aud the seed which has been
sown is now yielding glorious harvest; L call II a
glorious barvest when, takipg into copsiderati the
opposton that the party has had here In this Slave
State there will be poled not only the ~ votes OF
fur years ago only, but thousands more not the
increase from hundreds to thousanos sucent 10 en-
courage Republicans in Virginia 10 work on, aud w,rk
with a will Why, here in Ohio County, where they
would tske from US the privilege of thinking Reoub,

900 votes and the nsigbboring counties are making
a icbty effort for the noble We have here III
Wheeling three Wide.Aw wake Clubs numbering Ia all
about 375 members. Company { is composed OF good
German voters, and the Gema out-loe OF tne Ciuo
will as general thing, cast their votes Tor Old Ace.
We have had several torchght professions, and hare
never vet escaped abuse not only by sneers and oes
but stones and eggs. a few weeks since we made
trip TO Pittsburgh, but before leaving the Nhsehng
WHAT we were fa.u,ed by pack OF vagabonds-tor
they deserve no better namewith voley OF stones,
egQs &C.; this was all taken without the least rsalia
ton on The part Of the WideA wake Clubs Bot there
IL point where patience TO be virtue apd that

we will, for are We not free citizens? Shall we not
have rights? cay we shall, and ell good Repub
