THE wgsr-rAYLoR COUNTY.

To the Editor of the Whig'
The battle is nearly fought and the victory almos
won Western Virginia will do her duty nobly TheIC
is no doubt OF our in the State, IT, as you say
We will do our whole duty. The skies were never SC
| bright in the "Od Dominion" In this COngressiOna
District we intend TO carry the counties OF Ohio by 500
Marshall by GOO Monougaa by 400 Preston and Taylor
by 900 and Tyler by so The secedcrs do not claim
500 msjoriiy for Breckuridge, in the District which
gives from three 10 1000 majOfiiy usually. Douglas
as strong as the Secesoust 10 Monongala aud Preston
and much stronger in Ohio county, aud other counties
on the river. The Seceders emphaticsly dead
cocks in the pit in this part OF the State though he7
are at the time stronger than Douglas. We think
Bell aud Everett will probably carry the District but
this is Of the strongest f not The strougcs Demo
cratic district in the State, lose il by 1000
votes, and still carry the State by 10000 majority.

lieve to be reliable authority OF my own county, Tay

have made speeches all IT, and have talked with the
people all over NJ and when tell you that it will give
Bell and Everett at least 100 majority, tell you what Is
as near a certainty future events will permit IL is
based may say upon almost actual count and the eec
ton will verify the prediction have no doubt Of it,
would misstate the fact knowingly TO the
election of any Ny veracity aud my repua ion are
worth more than the triumph OF any man. And in all
help God knowingly msstaed any proposition OF
any fact and now at the close Of the contest il is Of IT,
fnely satisfaction for me TO know, that If we arC
defeated we will be defeated upon principle, and upon
the high ground of moral patriotism, than TO triumph
upon false doctrine and misrepresentation. And, OF
course victory under such circumstances will be double
reward
But, was about 10 tell you Of the canvass in Taylor
county II has been thorough and competeor will be
complete 10 few days. We have few appointments
flf Tim
