1Y,r,;nia shoud go forth TO the poiis on
The 3D. OF November nexs WIN ae e"'ho''
as,;c determination TO respond IN a tiia"'
nor worthy OF her great name to the checr-
ing news from the Northwest. II she cant
Give back cheer for cheer, why hcr people
wonid better scknewiedge their unworthi'
ness and want of pluck.hy sitting at hou'o
with folded arms, unmoved by sense OF
duty. uninspired by feeling OF gratitude.
y;rcinians can never be guilty OF cohoac1
co d,scrace:uI TO themselves and their race.
The information from all quarters con-
Times to be cheering. We eXhort all con.
.crya,iyes TO do all they can, and make the
victory such as we may be proud OF. Wnat
4 beautiful message we may then send 10
North Carolina, Georgia, Arkansas, ONO,
and Indiana
Tn every district save the Fourth the Con-
sentative cause is flourishing. The hardest
fight will. we believe, be in the Norfolk dis
trict, where GcopE is carrying on the cam
rass In glorious style. PLAT is being
smoked out and if that fails we suspect ne
will be .twis.ed out" People are begin
ring TO know him too well. Even the Gov
ernment must by this time have become
rather reluctant 10 push PLAT. should
GooDg carry that district we may look Tor a
solid Conservative delegation from virginia
with one single cxception-the Fourth dis
,rict-where STowELL, the insignificant Radl-
cal, has no opposition.
In the Richmond district Wsiker is weed
ing a wide row. He could beat either OF
his competitors, and will easily "cean "
them botn out We may set down this dis
irict as one of the best canrassed IN the
State. If only our Conservative voters come
forth we shall gain Il great victory. That
they will rally grardIy 10 the polls we VIII
not doubt. TO divide aud fall away from
local differences now will put the govern
,nent of this city in peril; and that gentle
men will not permit. Let us unite and send
q glorious message from Richmond.
Bgy. DOUGLASS, in the Fredericksburg
district, is winding up sESER's congress
sional career; CABgLL, IN the DInViile dis
trict, will beat THOMAS RAN. TUCKER walks
over the course Of The Lynchburg district
General TERRY will carry the windy Go
vernon of Oregon on his back, and beat
NESDERLlTE (who is somebody's candidate)
call to pieces and HARRIS will clip the
ambitious wings of poor Colonel O'FEERELL
SO that it will be long time before he essays
flight acain.
Finally, General HUsToS. who is opposed
by strange competitor, will be returned
by decided minority. A few years ago
Mr.. BARBOUR, The Independent candidates..
G.. the GRANT candidatc--was the most un.
compromising Bourbon in the State. AS
editor of the Enquirer nothing suited him.
he comes in 20 try 10 defeat the very
party he assisted to form and which
he for years earnestly supported. All at
once he comes forward IS man having
great influence with General GRANT, and is
urged especially upon the favor Of the peo-
pie of bis district upon the ground that he
will be able 10 get office for them. 1t is d
shame to the district that anybody should
have the effrontery to seek votes there for
Mr.. BARBOUR upon such ground as that.
Are they all Office seekers! We trust they
will vindicate themselves from the implied
reflection by giving their votes for General
HuSroN, that noble gentleman Of frank coz
duct and gallant career.
People do say that Culpeper is to do great
things for Mr.. BARBOUR. If it does, Gull
pepper will be thought less Of. A good Con-
sentative county that could follow MIR. BAR.
poUR in his strange leaps and sommersaults,
and with him tumble into the ashes of sub.
mission. must have lost much 10 the way of
consistency and self.respect. We will not
believe that until we see it.
The campaign gees OH nobly. People of
Virginia, rally TO the support of the State
and The country, and win for yourselves free
dom from the worst oppression you have
ever known.
