There will be 'outid included in it some of the oldest,! the most respectable, and the most ex'en-site !ti*d holders in the county—men who have been in the habit of voting for the last twenty year**; and whose right* a; e now, tor the first time, to be questioned. From inch c scrutiny we, of course, apprehend no danger, unless the most fatal indolence should pervade the ranks of Mr. Mercer’s fiends. But :ven «uch men as Israel Jauney, Joshua Gore, Jacob Waltman, William W inner, r. kc. may be defrauded of their rights if mean-are not taken to prevent -it. And. although we may calculate with certainty on every exertion that Mr Mercer can make, yet it i* not to be expected that every thing should be done by a single individual. Those who havcVcctcd him are •equally imeiested with himself in J maintaining him in his scat; ant! with a moderate share of eieition they cannot fail to do it. T mse perso. s. v hose voles are published below as contested, shou;d immediately furnish, by letter 01 otherwise, either Mr. Mercer, or some one 0! his most active friends ir. the countv. • every information necessary to establish j their rights. And eveiy federalist should take similar steps with regard to *uch ! votes on S)/. Mason’s poll a* they consider questionable. Delay ought, above all things, to be avoided.Loudoun County, £'pl. 1, 1817.CH4HLES F.
