VIRGINIA.
The loco foco papers, have already made
very glazing displays of large type, and
big words, in honor of their supposed victo-
~ in cold Virginia''-the land of Wash
ington and Jefferson. 1t turns out, how
ever, that all their rejoicing has proved pre-
mature and useless. From the following
extracts and remarks, the reader will get as
correct view of the result, as can at pres
ent be obtained. We hope, and believe
that the members of Congress (B arton and
SteeN OF whose election some doubt has
been expressed, will be able to show their
election certain, as it now appears most
likely they will. In this event, the dele
cation to Congress, will stand, / Wings
to 0 loco focos; at the last election before
this, the locos had Is to our 6! This cleo
ton was one of great Importance, to the
best interests of the nation, and we regard
. the result with feelings Of pleasure, mas
much, as we see in it, sort of final con-
domination of Mr.. Van Buren's principles
of Government.
VIRGINIA ELECTION.
The Richmond Compiler, a neutral pa
per, states that the Wings and Conserva-
tives have carried the House of Delegates
by TWENTY MAJORITY. Wings Gloon
seryatives lG-Loco Focos 81.
The Richmond Wing of the subsequent
day confirms .hs account. The Wings and
Conservatives viii therefore have MAORI
~ Of SIXTEEN on joint ballot of both houses.
From the Nov York Wig Of Wedncsday.
ALL HAIL VIRGINIA!
We are fairly out of the woods at last
The Old Dominion has almost certainly
elected sIxTY-EiGHT Wings and NINE Con
servativcs to the House of Delegates, to
.fity-Secen Loco ocos giving an Anti an
Buren, majority of TWENTY in Joint
Ballot. The Claim ofthe Loco ocos that
all ofthe Conservative and Wing Delegates
from Little Tennessee will vote Administra-
ton, when that District gave some 500
Wing and Conservative majority, is pre-
posterous They said that DR.. Ewing of
Lee-an undoubted Whig-is pledged to
vote Administration, and they have the face
to claim about two-thirds Of the Conserva-
tives! They did just the same last year,
and swore they would have Il majority in
Joint Ballot; but the result showed them
full tlcrnty behind. They may say what
they please now, but they KNOW they are
beaten. A clear half the House of Dele
gates are thorough original Wines; and
may be depended on as such. Nine more
are protested Conservatives. Disguise it
as they may, the Van Buren, organs KNOW
they have been beaten in Virginia.
Liberty has proved stronger than Power in
this contest; and the hearts of the leope
are rejoiced!
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
Johnson (Loco) is probably reelected in
tie Harrison district. The Wing counties
have given him majoritics. /
From tie New York Wing.
BARTON ELECTED
AdYiees from the Frederick District give
assurance that Colonel Richad w. Barton, /.
Wing, has been certainly elected to Con-
gress over William Lucas, Van Buren,, and
has received the certificate. The particu
lars are not very clearly stated, but the re-
suit seems beyond controversy. The cir
cumstances appear to be these. BY the
Constitution Of Virginia, a citizen of that
State is entitled TO vote in each county
where he owns freehold but cannot vote
twice in two different counties for the same
candidate las Member Of Congress, or Sena-
tor. In defiance Of this provision, how
ever, it seems that four Van Buren, men
voted first in their own county (Frederick)
for Lucas, and then went to Clarke, where
they had right to vote for Delegate, and
voted again for Lucas! This was made
apparent when the sheriffs came to compare
the poll lists at Winchester; so the double
votes were thrown out and Mr.. Barton de-
clared elected as he most undoubtedly was.
So here is one more added to the Wing list
of Members of Congress We do not yet
learn whether the Loco Focos have conclu-
ded to claim Mr. Barton, but we suspect
they will need him before they get through
with Old Virginia. They are coming out
mighty slenderly when the result is COM
pared with their high-reaching expectations
Whether MIR Barton obtains the certjf-
cate or not from the sherili,5, he will get
the seat when an investigation is made by
the committee cf electors in the House.
The majority Of Dir Hopkins in Little
Tennessee is 473.
The Richmond Enquirer has been sadly
at fault in its calculation respecting the
members Of Congress. 1t boasted that
Garland, Hopkins, Hunter and Taliaferro
were to he beaten, and their places sup
piled by ''sinlt or SWIM Loco Focos. The
