AZ or AZ of the former to 90 or 30 Of the latter.
There is no mistake in this. The office holders
here admit it. This majority might have been
increased 10 at least 20-the counties OF Frank
lin, Preble, Greene, and Clinton, in which there
are clear Wing majorities, having returned
four Jackson representatives, in consequence
of the unpopularity Of the Wing candidates.
"The result of this election has satisfied me,
that if an original opponent of the existing Ad.
ministration had been selected to run against
Gov. Lucas, the latter would have been beaten
Gen. Findlay has run behind the party in al
most every county-many of our friends pre-,
ferring the present incumbent TO him. Had
Gen. Vance been taken up, the result would, In
my opinion, have been more favorable, not on,
w as respects the Governor, but also in regard
to members of Congress and Of the Assemb ~
Had we had popular candidate in this district
for instance, the Wing ticket would have car
ried throughout by decided majority; but ma,
nv of our most prominent men felt wholly indif-
ferent as to the resalt, and either did not vote
at all, or supported Gen. Lucas as the ablest OF
the candidates"

ALEXANDRIA:
THURSDAY MORNING, OCT. 80, 1884.

Our TowN.-As Alexandria is, and undoubt-
edly. from its excellent situation, must continue
to be, the Commercial depot of this populous
District SO, it seems TO us, it also ought to be
the MECHANICAL and MANUFACTURING mart Tor all
this section Of country. Much of our prosperl-
ty in our opinion, depends upon this consum-
nation; and we rejoice to think, that with the
success of the Alexandria Canal, furnishing
such a water power and such excellent settles
as it will, this must ensue. In the mean
time, however, we have never ceased to urge
the extension of liberal policy in every posi-
BILE respect to the mechanical and manuiactur-
ing interests so as to strengthen and conhrm
those already existing, and encourage the rails
ing up Of those mills, factories, &c. &c. which
constitute an important part Of the wealth, and
one Of the greatest sources of the prosperity,
of the places where they flourish. If a bold
peasantryn always "makes a country's pride,
so does prosperous mechanical interest inva-
riably mark a city's progressive Improvement.
With Commerce and Manufactures to aid us,
Alexandria will yet be, we trust, not behind her
sister towns in the career Of honorable compe-
ttion for trade, wealth, and abundant prospe-
rity.

THE NEW PAPER.

Lo. where il comes before the cheerful fire,
Damp from the press in smoky curls aspire
Gas from the earth the sun eXhales the dew
Ere we can read the wonders that ensue;
Then eager every eye surveys the part
That brings its favorte subject to the heart;
Grave politicians look for facts alone,
And gravely add conjectures of their own;
The sprightly nymph who never broke her rest,
For totteTing crowns, or mighty lands Oppressed,
Finds broils and battles, but neglects them all
For songs and suits. birth day, or ball.
The keen warm man o'erlooks each idle tale
For Moneys Wanted ard Estates on Sale;
While some with equal minds to all attend,
Pleased with each part, and grieved to find an
end.
To this all readers turn, and they can look
Pleased on a paper, who abhor book,
Those who meier deign'd their Bible to peruse,
Would think it hard to be denied their News;
Sinners and Saints, the wisest with the weak,
Here mingle tastes, and one amusement seek;
This, like public inn, provides treat
Where each promiscuous guest sits down to
eat
And such this mental food, as we may call
Something to all men and to some men all.
