VIRGINIA The elections in Virginia took place
on Thursday lasl. 1t will be some weeks before
we get the result. We calculate upon democrat
ic triumph but we warn our friends not to be too
sanguine. We may possibly DO beaten, We shall
most certainly carry majority Of the members to
Congress, but there is some doabt about tie Legs,
lature. This doubt arises not from The fact that
there may be majority in the State opposed to the
admnistration-ths is certainly not the case, Mar
Tin Van Buren, would heat Henry Clay tomorrow

The Hon. saml. Jayne publishes long let

been instructed. 1t is labor lost. Neither the gen
tIeman nor his apologst, the Sun, can prove any
such thing. Jayne was twice instructed by the
voters OF Lawrence, all his barney to the contrary
Notwithstanding We have certificates estab-
fishing the fact from some Of the most respectable
