Moore the certificate of elec- ton, notwithstanding majority fthe votes were gwen for Mir. Letcher the former gentleman proposed to the latter, that they shen!d resign their respective claims to the seat ln Congress, and request a new cleo ton; and also that they should mutually withdraw from the new canvass for Con- gross. Mr Letcher declined accedine to either ot these propositions; or to do any act winch would seem to establish the cor rectness of the decision of the Sherifs- arguing, that should the new. doctrine ob- tam, that Sheriff has right to withdraw the Poll Books whenever he may please to do so, there could be no security that any election would be held yalid Some one of the sherlffs, 1t is contended, mightwithhold hIs poll book at the next comparison of votes, and thereby again defeat the will of 2 majority of the people.
