Lynchburg Virginian

The Richmond Whig makes an eloquent and well timed appeal to the friends of Mr. Clay, in Virginia to gird themselves for the coming contest. There is, we are free to admit, very little hope of carrying the vote of this State for Mr. Clay but the duty to make the effort is not less imperative than if that hope were greatly than it is. The Whig suggests to our friends in every county the propriety of organizing committees of vigilance and correspondence where none exist, for the purpose of preparing attending the polls, and by all other fair means concentrating and bringing out their strength. We hope this duty will be attended to more especially as we perceive, that, although our opponents are confident of a majority, they are as active and zealous as if they feared defeat. This is the true policy of a party, at all times, and under all circumstances. It would be exceedingly mortifying if the election should exhibit an increase in majority for Jackson in this State, when we know that it must be very materially diminished, if his opponents are as active and zealous in 1832 as they were in 1828—In passing, we would suggest to the Central Committee at Richmond, en passant, the propriety of filling up the vacancy in the Electoral Ticket occasioned by the withdrawal of Mr. Branch.
