LETTER FROM MAJOR EDWARD Me-
MAHON-HE ENDORSES THE LYNCH.
BURG NOM{NATIONS,

1t gives us pleasure to publish the follow
ing sensible and patriotic letter from Major
Edward Mcmahon, addressed to several of
his countrymen of this city. The many
friends of Major Mcmahon who warmly sup
ported him for the nomination at Lynch
burg, will be gratifed at the spirit he mani
tests, while those of Colonel Hughes will be
deeply impressed with the genuineness and
sincerity of the gentleman who vas his som-
petitor for the nomination.
This letter, speaking as it does the sincere
and honest opinions of an honest Republic
can, largely interested in the welfare and
prosperity of the State and her people, will
set at rest all doubt as to the political status
Of its author, We trust and believe his
friends and admirers, who are many in the
State, will profit by the advice he gives them
in his patriotic letter:
STAuNToN, VA. Aug. 26, 1873.
Gentemen--ln response to the request
made that indicate what course intend
to pursue and that which would advise my
friends to adopt, will say that l intend to-
cordially and earnestly support the nominees
Of the Lynchburg convention, as represents
Ing the principles and policy in the success.
full Inauguration of which | believe the flu
ture welfare of Virginia is involved.
1t is not necessary for me to argue this
proposition, for it seems to me that it should
be clear to every mind, not controlled by
prejudice or passion.
1t is time, in my Judgment, that the peo7
pie of Virginia were freeing themselves from
the harmful influence that the cultivation Of
sectional exclusiveness and feeling has exert
ed and is still exerting
We are an integral part Of this great ma
ton, and it is my sincere conviction that
the true interests Of Virginia will be SUBJ
served, and her duty lies in harmoniziug her
political sentimanl With it, instead of neea-
essly and hurtfully cultivating a spirit Of
antagonism to it.
We must have broad views and exercise
catholic spirit, if we would have large bene-
fits and healthy friendships
The Republican narty, according to my
conception, represents these. We must have
capital and enterprise to develop our great
natural resources. These we cannot freely
secure so long as there is an ictoerant soc,
tional feeling. Under a liberal and enlight-
eued State government and the prevalence
of national sympathy we may reasonably an
ticipate that capital, labor and enterprise
will come to our aid
believe the election of the Republican
ticket next November will largely contribute
to the consummation Of these paramount ends,
and hence I shall give to it my earnest sup.
port.
I have not the time to follow the sugges-
tions which present themselves to my mind
as incident to these reflections I have,
however, SAID enough for the occasion, and
Will only add that | hope my friends will see
the matter as [ do and act accordingly.
Very respectfully,
EDWARD MCMAHON.

proper to sake these comments. Tt will not
answer the purpose for the speakers and .wri,
ters in the interests Of the Conservative party
to say that this contest is merely of local i'm
portance and bearing The result cannot be-
Invested of national sympathy or amin osity.
1t must partake of the ora or the other, and
in the degsee that it reflects the former will
Its effects be reflected in the prosperity of the

self from all sympathy and confidence of the
wealthy and prosperous States of the Union
and OF the national government, for the sake,
OF electing few extreme politicians to Office.
She cannot afford to paralyze all her great.
interests, to perpetuate the aominancy of
party that confesses to no principles of ma.
tional or State policy, and but seeks to mis-
lead the people by unnecessary appeals to-
race prejudice. No sensible rejecting man
In the Conservative party seriously entertaina
the belief that there is any analogy between
the contest in Virginia and chat which has
heretofore taken place in the extreme South
ern States. They are forced to the confession
that the standard bearer Of the Republican
party is Virginian in every throb of his
heart-that he has larger individual inter-
ests to be affected by government than his
and that he is more Intimately
with the wants and resources 81
the State than probably any man in it. They
are compelled to admit his great ability,
his splendid exertions in the past in behalf
Of the material development of bis native
State, and the great influence he would ex,
ert as chief executive of the Old Common,
wealth, in building up her industries. They
know full we'll that none but Yirginians will
control Virginia in the success Of the Re,
publican party. All the departments will
be under the control of Virginians, and that
t is merely the resort of party desperation 10
charge otherwise.
The issue, then, is rot whether Virginians
will rule Virginia, for that must be ac-
by every fair minded man, Who
eeks to seriouly speak tn" truth, but it is
whether the men in sympathy with the fatal
ectional sentiment Jefferson Davis has enun.
lated or those who maintain the broad ma
ional views Col, Hughes represents, are TO-
ule Virginia.

To Stop BLEEDING AT TIE NosE-It
IS worth while TO know how to stop the
bleeding from the nose, when it becomes ex-
cesslve. If the finger is pressed firmly upon
the little artery that supplies the blood to
the side Of the face affected, the result is &C.
complished. Two small arteries branching up
from the main arteries on each side of the
neck, and passing over the outside of tie jaw
bone, supply the face with blood If the
nose bleeds from the right nostriI, for ex-
ample, pass the finger along the edge of the
right Jaw till the beating of 40 artery is felt.
Press upon it, and the bleeding will cease
Continue the pressure five minutes, until the
ruptured vessels in the nose have time to con.
tract.
