Lyudoun county, March %, 1861.

When the result Of the election held III
February was made known, all were sur
prised to find the majority in favor of the
Union candidates so large, especially in the
Eastern portion of the State But it should
he borne in mind that nearly all of the
Union candidates published cards Or made
speeches, in which they favored prompt and
decided action, and took strong grounds of
Resistance to Black Republican rule; promis-
ing the people to make demands OF the
Moth, equivalent to Crittenden's cumprc-
mise, and many went even further. 1t
should be further borne in mind that, as IL
class, the DIsunion candidates were impetu-
Gus and rash, ami the people knew not to
what excuses they would 90, whether they
might lot seize the Felcra! property in the
State Immediately, aud reckiessly provoke a
collision with the Federal Government. Ia
other words, they were considered unsafe
politicians. no matter what their views were
However that may be, it is evident to all
who observe, that in the upper end of Eau
quler the sentiment Of the people is grad
nally drifting towards u separation from the
Federal Union.
The unsar!> tactory result Of the labors OF
the Peace Conference.-The Presidents In
augural-the Cabinet appointments, and
lastly, the appointments to fill the Federal
Offices in the State Of Virginia, So Tar as
kno"n: going to show that the Federal pa
tronage will lie used to build up Black
Republican party in the State, which though
1t can never be large enough to affect any
election, may still become large enough, by
means OF the propagation of incendiary
documents and speeches, to affect very seri-
ously our domestic security and prosperity
Each of the above, in turn, but especially
the last, when with our people, it is coupled
with the name Of the notorious John G.. Tn
dcrwrod, us rounseliing and directing the
appointments in rha State, has excited 80
deep Il feeling of hostility to the Admins
tratlon, that all are casting about for some
mode OF relief. And since the adoption of
tile permanent Constitution of the Coutede-
rate States, and the policy of that Govern
ment have become known, all eyes are turn
my anxlously in that direction. Gradually
their affections have been weaned from the
Federal Government, AS they perceive more
plainly each day, that their State is not TO
be governed for the Peace, Prosperity, and
Happiness of its own citizens but for the
advancement Of the Republican party.
