Tho editor o. The Tilleg Dsaocrut, Mr. S. T Walker
who was member OF the late Legislature, writes to bis
paper Of last week from Richmond and thus exposes the
fraud aud trckery by which the Hunter men succeeded
10 kiiag of WISE and sending packed delegations" to
Charleston He saws.
"The action of,he districts 10 our State has created
prise in the minds Of almost every But If the peo
pie we're made OF the fraud and trickery prac
Used they would neither be astouished or amazed
Every element u the State combined against Governor
Wise and every resorted % for the purpose OF
enCompassiug his defeat The tactics and chicanery OF
the Albany Regency have been transferred TO Virginia
and the voice and wishes Of the people SieuCed and
crushed Ia anumber Of the counties wherever oppor-
tuai.y Afforded the personal friends of Gov. Wise
have been excluded from The delegations and subjected

rcUs, aud by mi>represeuuug the fto and expressed
will Of the people have the friends Of Senator Hunter
tllmpLed IN Virginia. Blu. the victory viii be barren

pica.d delegation % Charleston bis heels Whenever
the masses speak the question 70 who is the choice
OF the DemOcsacyo Of ibis STATE viii not be long IN doubt
AID TIA, time viii come sooner or later
We have no doubt ourselves, Of there having been
good deal OF fraud and tckery practsed in the
dis;-t Conventions, and that thereby packed deega-
toas" have been elected 70 Charleston. In a word the
friends OF Wise have been very badly used by the Hun
te- me1 aad the former should in the might of their
wrath and themselves and their fsvorte right before
the country We maintain that it is in the highest de-
gree criminal for any Of men to submit 10 actual
rlui aud trcsery tho part Of another set OF men,
No mere devotion % plrtv-to its union and harmony
should coa train any on earth 70 patiently and qai
ely acqgesce 10 the preparation Of grieyous wrong
When IL is obvious therefore, that fraud aud trickery'
have en- PIC sed /, is the solemn duty Of the victims
Of such "raud and tricsery' instead Of only whining
and complaining TO refuse submission 20 the action OF
the packed Conventions and committees, and take
appeal di-scly 10 the people, the source Of all power
and the final a55jters Of an moo,el questions.
