A TRIANGULAR oAMPAIgN.

Additional Interest will be impaired to
tho coming political campaign in Virginia
by the action of tho Republican State oen>
trail committee at Richmond Tuesday, which,
by an almost unanimous vote, determined to
hold a convention on The oath of August to
nominated full straight Republican State
ticket. This, says the Baltimore Sun, pre-
cipitates a triangular contest, in Virginia, as
The Readjusters have already placed their
ticket in the ielI, and the Democrats are
aew ongaged in choosing delegates to their
nominating convention, which meets ut
Richmond on the 18th of August. Colonel
Cameron, the Readjuster nemineo for Gov.
ernor, proposes to open the canvass in the
valley carly in August, whilst Mr.. John s.
Wise, another prominent Readjuster, will
commence q canvass of tho tido>water oouu,
ties, beginning with Accomae, this week.
Although tho regular Democratic orgaDiza>

convention until the FIRST of August, aud con>

idle, but are quietly and effectively orsani-

leaders in tho State except United States

Lynchburg and others, the Republicans will
doubtless present a compact force, leaving
Gen. Malone to recruit his supporters, with
the exception of q few ~stragglers horo and
thore, from tho Democratic ranks. What
success is promised him in this direction it
is perhaps too carly to judge, but if tho re,
cent local elections in Virginia, where al
most every Readjuster nominee for the
olerkships was defeated, can DO taken as an
Indication, it would seom that Gen. Malone
has quite as hard n task before him as he
had when he attempted to throw the election
OF officers of the United States Senate into
the hands of the Republ;cans-au effort in
which he ANONYMOUSLY failed.
