Iapsrssns freu, vi-sknia-ssssl defeat Of the
WAig parsy-sriamph 81 The Lecsfssss-
md rqjeieing Of she Kitchen Cabinet. 80.
We received accounts yesterday down to FridAy
night frsm Rchnond, Virginia, which hardly leaves
doubt Of the overwhelming defeat of the whig
party, in the state elections, held there last Thurs
day
We have number of details and partial returns,
bat from what have the general estimate 10 made
that the loeofocos have elected IA l6 out Of "a
members of Congress, and the wings or 10 only
The wing candidate in the Norfolk district has been
defeated and it Is now believed that Talaferro the
wing, is also defeated. Banks from the Fredericks-
burgh district is elected and from the returns al
ready received there is every probability of gene
raj defeat to the wing party.
Such is the complexion of these returns, collected
from every authentic accessible quarter. The eau
ses Of this result easily discovered The wings
as party are composed of the most discordant ma
terals each portion hating despising, and calumna-
ting each other. During the whole campaign, for
year past in Virginia, they have presented nothing
but Earring and bitter internal feuds. This is pre-
cisey the character of the party in this state
The old wings would not unite with the conserva-
tives or converts and elect Mr. Rives. This incom-
patibility ef increasing their strength from the de-
fections Of their opponents, is Of the principal
causes of their being always kept in the minority
The wing party as a mass, is also too much under
tho influence Of reckless demorazed politicians
such Henry A. Wise and the patriots Of that
school who mix personality and bitter detraction
with their party warfare. The indiscreet, foolish
conduct of such would ruin any cause. When
the wings reach power they too often give up the
influence of their party to rotten speculation and
principled vice of all kinds. In this respect gov
eminent of the wings would not be bit better for
the country than the present dirty of the
locofocos,
And makes us rather bear those ills have,
Than fly to others that we know not Of"
Bat even with this defeat staring in eur face, do
the great of the independent and virtuous des-
pair! No such thing. A permanent organization Of
parties is necessary to good government. An oppo
stion party useful in its day the government
party itself. But to make these available it 10
yet necessary to bring the opposition out-and that
is to abandon all the rotten politicians be-
fore the public, and out at once with the
of General Scott for the next presidency He is the
only man who has the slightest chance.
THE JARVIS CAsE.-Ths " CONNIE rcial'' states
that Doctor Jarvis has backed ont from his proposed
arrangement with Mrs. Jarvis, and that the trial be-
fore the Connecticut legislature takes place tomor
row. great many unmanly inuendoss are made
against the lady, by certain class of the press-but
these inuendoes are natural to the creature.
0GJ- Noah is eternally twaddling about " old de-
old democrats" What does it mean
Old democrats generally old fools or old rogues,
who ought to take arsenic, or write Z" G. T. T." af-
ter their names. We only believe in young demo-
Gratis and young democracy-male or female.
