Shortly alter August Court q few friends

n torlety in that way that recognized it rs q
duty incumbent upon every one TO serve the
public when called upon, if not incompatible
with his private Interests, but had no evidence
that my services were desired or that l would
be acceptable to the people. Subsequently
wrote 10 Mr.. Thomas Moore making substan-
TALLY the same statement. Thus the case stood

Engaged in the duties of my farm, I knew
but little of public sentiment, ana supposed that
any concerted action, SO far as WAS concerned
mad been dropped. On the 3lst of August
however, received note from Mr.. More
stating that Mr.. A. &. Landstreet, of Mount
Vernon District, had just called to see HIM in
reference to my position, and having assurances

his district mad returned with the intention Of
placing my name before the people

TIE NOMINATIONS The Leesburg WASH

THE NOMINATIONS The Leesburg Wash
ingtonian says:
Judge Sinclair is gentleman of high or.
der Of talent, gifted orator, aud has had
much experience in public matters Mr..
Claughtou is a member Of the Alexandria bar,
we'll known as a gentleman of fine legal attain
ments, and most accurate and successful bus
mess man. These gentlemen are our uomi-
nees, given to Us by convention formed and
constituted 10 accordance with the usages of
the party, and 1t is our duty, and we hope it
will be our pleasure, to give them q united and
earoest support.
They are gentlemen in every Way worthy Of
the position for which they have been Dom
mated, and we should forget our partialities
and preJudlccs before the convention, and look
solely to the success of the party, by securing
their election. Alexandria and Prince William
have IN the past stood true to the Loudoun
nominees, and there is too much true map
hood aud high appreciation Of our duty to fail
to return the compliment. We call upon our
Larty 10 Loudoun to stand to their coors, and
If there be any chagrin and uDpeasantuess,
caused by our failure 10 getting one of the Don-
nees, we should lift ourselves above its iuhu-
ence, and resolve that we will do our whole
duty 10 the canvass
L)udouD was unfortunately divided 10 her
oh dice, which was the main cause of our failure
in getting nominee. We are ourselves re-
spousible for it, and if there be auy disappoiDt-
ment and irritation with reference to it, we
should remember it was our own work, caused
by the persistent determination of our dele.
gates not to unite upon one man.
The decision has been made aud we must
stand up 10 our work, determined that if our
efforts can accomplish it, the ticket shall be
elected. Let that be your purpose, aud it will
be done"
The Warrenton Index says:
1T appears from the ballot had that Messrs
Claughton and Sinclair went into convention
as the choice Of Alexandria, Prince William
and Fairfax, and even divided the strength of
Loudoun. AS soon as the preference of the
convention was expressed, on the motion OF
delegate from Loudouo, the nominations were
made unanimous Friendly rivalry between
asprants being thus happily adjusted, it re-
mains for the delegates TO exert themselves to
secure that harmony and concert Of action at
home that will secure victory at The polls for
the standard bearers Of the Conservative party
of the lst district

people received it far in excess of the
