And one uncertain-and two misunderstanding

Wings, and the parties will stand on joint vote, 81 Re-
publicans, 80 Wings. If we allow all three to the
Wings, the parties will be tied on joint balIot-Allow
all to the Republicans, and the vote will stand e6-eO-
Republican majority on joint ballo,-6.
All that we now want is, concord and peace among
our political friends at Washington and every thing is
safe. From that moment, we shall have a reaction
every where. The Party will be reunited in Virginia
We shall carry a Republican Senator with ease next
winter. The Alexandra Gazette may save Itself the
trouble of threatening 10 expunge an ExPunger from the
Senate The Fredericksburg Arena may be spared the
necessity Of giving Expression to a sentiment, when Is
unanimous in this quarter among the wings. They
differ here, as elsewhere, and as might be expected, about
individuals-but on one point there IS no diversity OF
opinion-viz: that the candidate who may expect 10
unite the suffrages of the party, must be a thorough go.

The last Winchester Virginian emphatically says
"This result, however, such as 1t is, will teach needed
instruction to the Democracy Of Virginia. 1t will re.
mind them that united, they are strong; but that divided,
a very feeble foe may triumph over them-that under
circumstances peculiarly trying TO the successful ma.
nagement of the affairs Of Government, they should feel
a double obligation 10 unite their strength-and that
mere questions Of expediency can never justify a partial
separation Of any, much less a course that indirectly
gives all the advantage to those opposed to them. Like
complaint or recrimination-we shall only desire every
friend of the Administration-ever Republican,, in a III.
ture contest TO do his duty, 10 forget anImosities, and all
will be secure. The Democracy of Virginia will then
again be found in its true position"
The last Charlottesville Republican also speaks in the
same kew "If the Republicans are wise, they should
Immediately heal The divisions in their own ranks, unite in
good faith with each other, and there cannot be the least
doubt ofsuccess. But while they maintain SO many fac
lions within their own ranks, a small force can route them.
Each branch of the Administration party has the power
of defeating the other branch, and unless an union can
be effected, neither the one or the other may ever expect
to succeed. Divisions and discussions will ever keep
US at the bottom and the Wings in the ascendant. The
Wings may ha.ler each division Of the Republican party,
but they will not help either into power. Shall the Ne
nublicaps then continue 10 contribute IN helping their
common enemy TO office, and elevate those to the high
est offices within their gift, who could not get there e1'
cent by our division? Let it be no longer our reproach'
