FROM RICHMOND.
BALTIMORE, September 2s.
Richmond and Petersburg papers to-day
are received
Woods, of Albermsrle, has withdrawn
from the Congressional cAnvss in the
Sixth District, because he could not con-
scientiously take the oath.
He says that recent indications and in
formation convinces him beyend the shsd-
ow of doubt that there will be no repeal
or modification, and that our only hope of
being represented at all, is to select men
who can take the oath as it stands. Honestly
and conscientiousl entertaining this
opinion, no alternative is left me
but to withdraw from the canvass, whenit
is perfectly obvious our noble President,
standing as be does great breakwater
between the Radicals of the North and our
PROSTATE country, needs every Southern
Representative and Senator to sustain him
Were 1 to permit any selfish vindications
to influence me, I should despise myself
and be false TO every honorable impulse.
The Republic accompanies the card with
the remark that the field is thus left open
to Mr.. Lewis and Sandy Stuart Lewis
can very consistently take the Congress
sional test oath, but Mr.. stuArts con.
science prevents him, The Republic
also says the people of Hanover County
were addressed on Thursday by Mr.
Johnson Barbour. From all information
We have received there is no longer any
doubt but that Barbour will carry every
county in the District.
The Lynchburg Republican says; On
: of the most distinguished men OF the stat
whose nsme Ia not permitted
: to bs given, writes as follows in regard +
eligibility of the Congressional candidates
II regard it as absurd, not to ssy crimina
in people under such circumstances t
select such men. A man who is, an,
a knows he is, not eligible ought not in thes
r times thrust himself before the people bu
}. if he does the people ought to have goo
q sense enough to rebuke him."
