We adopt the caption of the Democrat of
last Saturday, in relating the result of the
great political struggle which is just over in
Virginia. The Wings hare conquered! This
"settles the question: renders the re-elec-
ton of Martin Van Bpren" utterly impossible
Old Virginia, the Mother of States, has set an
example which will be followed by almost eve
ry other State that holds all election this year.
We have GAINED THREE MEMBERS
OF CONGRESS, and have a majority of
FOURTEEN ON JOINT BALLOT IN
THE Observation-Disclosures a Wing
gain of SIX VOTES IN CONGRESS-!
and ensuring the election Of WHlG u. s.
SENATOR !! Huzza for the Old Domin-
ion S. e has signally and emphatically re-
pudiated New forks recreant son, and spew-

for the day of our salvation from corrupt 60
vernment is at hand, and wo betide the faction
that now rule over us. The PEOPLE of Vir.
ginia have spoken in thunder tones, and their

We close our account of the Virginia Elec-
tions by an extract from the last Nashville
Wing:
Wing Triumph in Virginia A gain in the
Congressional DeIegation-A mayority ot
IA IN the Legislature Nine cheers for The
"Mother of States" -!
As we predicted on Monday, the battle has
been won by the united Wing and Conserva-
tive forces In Virginia. The adherents of the
Administration, with Richie and the President
of the Bank of Virginia at their head, have
been driven back, and although the contest was
warm and stubborn, the victory is not the less
complete or glorious. But for the fact that the
Congressional districts were laid off in 1882 to
suit the views of the power party--counties
giving small Wing majorIties being attached
to a county giving a locofoco majority large
enough to overbalance them, and sometimes
Wing counties being throwg into one district
the Wings would now number thirteen or
fourteen out of 81 members of Congress. AS
it is, they have nine, and contested claim TO
another district-the ffteenth-where Mr..
certificate of election. The difference was but
one vote, and it is said MIR. Barton would have
contested the result had his opponents appa-
rent majority stood as high as 30, owing to
certain illegal and fraudulent proceedings in
one of the counties. The returns for the Le-
| gislature are complete. On Joint ballot the
Wings alone have the plurality united with
the Conservatives, the Opposition strength
stands as 90 to rs.
Where now are the notes of victory sound
ed by our opponents few DAYS since through
out this and the adjoining districts, over the
result in the "crade of Republicanism"--the
land of Madison and Of Jefferson!" flushed
as in the tomb of oblivion ~ Let the
Wings then rejoice in turn over a real triumph
-ro sham victory reported on the faith of a
few scattering returns. Let our friends, thro'-
out the State, proclaim through the press and
4 from the stump, the noble stand assumed by the
Old Dominion, and we warrant, the enemy viii
be slow to avail themselves of the "Virginis
| electIons'' apain
