WASHINGTON, D. c., October g. 1852
A gentleman from Norfolk here to-dap says
that the recent democratic nomination Tor
Congress in that district, while 1t VIII help
Massey. by bringing out voters who other
wise would not have gone to the polls, Will
not hurt Dczendorf, who if there had been no
such nomination would have been declared
the democratic candidate by the Mahoneites,
and that would have driven away FROM him
a large part Of his negro support.
Elections will be held in Ohio, West Nir.
ginia and Iowa tomorrow. In the former
the republicans are seriously alarmed. They
only claim their State ticket by from two to
five thousand majority and concede theloss
of four congressman. They played so as to
win the vote of the prohibtionists, but the
latter doubling their sincerity are run
ming candidates in all the districts.
In West Virginia. which has one more
district than it had at the last election, the
democrats. while hopeful of electing the
whole delegation, will not be surprised if
they lose the extra district, in which eN-
Secretary Coli is the republican candidate.
In Iowa they hope to gain one member.
With regard TO the Indiana election Mr..
Voorhees, says the State will 60 democratic
by twenty thousand and Mr.. Mcdonald by
ten thousand majority. The liquor question
in this State, as in Ohio, bothers the esti-
mate makers, but it is supposed that the
democrats who will fail to support their
party on account of its opposition to sump-
tuary laws will he offset by the republicans
who will not 60 with their party on account
of lis support of such laws.
Information from Rockingham CO., Va,
indicates that the coalition managers in that
county, becoming alarmed at the prospects
Of John Paul's defeat, are growing reckless,
and are threatening to give any number of
votes that may be necessary to elect their
man, he il either by fair or foul means. This,
it is said, is the meaning Of Camerons APP
pointmcnt at uarrisonburg They propose
to make big noise in that county, so rs to
cover up their tracks on election day. The
same gang which attempted to bulldoze
O'Ferrall at Stanton are expected to do
the work in Rockingham on the eth of No
vembcr The friends of OFcrrall are pre-
pairing to meet any emergency which may
arise.
4 republican officer OF the House Of Rep
rescntativcs, who has just returned from
his home in Tennessee, says his party there
conccdc the loss of one of the two con-
grcs$ional districts they now have, the one
represented by Moore. of Memphis, and
also that they will lose the State ticket
which they gained at the last election by u
split in the democratic party. There is q
split now i'll the same party, but not to the
extent that existed before
\ gentleman from Richmond here TO-DAY
says that the election Of Mr.. George Wise is
conceded by well-informed republicans, and
that the democrats there say his majority
will greatly exceed that by which he wa:
elected before. With regard TO his difficulty
with Mr.. John Amber Smith, the gentle
men referred to, says that when he left
Richmond this morning everybody thought
it was all over.
In the Montgomery, Maryland, district
the impression seems to be that if Mr.. Blail
be the democratic nominee he will stand 6
pretty good chance of election, rs he viii

: Virginia republicans, that is the conscjen-
tlous men among them, the men who are re
publicans from prnciple,are becoming more
and more disguised with Mahoneism. and
some OF those who come here don't hesitate
to express their disgust in the most emphat-
&c manner and their surprise that Northern
republicans should be so blinded to the real
condition of affairs in Virginia as to counte
nance the nefarious alliance that has been
made between Il few selfseckng democrats
and oillce-holding republicans and the ne.
groes OF the State for the sole purpose of
getting what money they can out of her
