TIL. I,..r;.bnrg Nomination.,

The following !c.,er - proof among the many,
which have reached us That the nomination OF Gen. Har
rison is fatal 20 the Of Whggery The people scout
in Virginia. The whole South will ahjure il We have
seen several Of the members Of the General Assembly,
who have Just returned from their Constituents. We
understand, that many Of the Wings have protested
against the nomination, and that several of them have
already abandoned til. Wing Banner There will be
serious contest in Virginia. In Georgia, the Wings
themselves utterly repuda,e the nominee. The Athens
Banner spcaks Tor Georgia, and announces that her
citizens of both parties viii repudate the Wing cand
date and his principles. But what (says that paper
will the Wings of Georgia and other Southern States
do Either they must bring out third candidate with
hope of success or let the election go favor Of the
present distinguished incumbent, without opposiiiOn-
In either event. cam like the Editor of the Rich
mnnd Enquirer congratulate oursef at the prospect o
rest from political struggles. The campaign will be
without excitement, and almost without interest sc
we'll settled is the public mind in the Souh that under
present circumstances no. better qualified than Pre-
sdcnt Van Buren, can beectedo the office, perhaps
found n the country, En- he will walk the course

sMany of the Wings decidedly in favor of the
Sub Treasury yet they sustain and support those who
its most violent opposers Look at Mr.. Wise. We
find him in 1884 voting for General Gordons Sub
Treasury scheme, because it then an Opposition
measure and in 1889 declaming against in language
which shows that he sactuated only By desire to de
famp the measures 81 Mr. Van Buren,
Call however, will not do Whiggcry will have
to hide its face Since the Wing nomination for Pre-.
sident has been published, have mixed good deal
with the people, and without single exception all with
whom have conversed (and most of them Wings
have openly declared their determination not to vote
the Harrison ticket present few days ago, at
public place, where there several Wings, and
among others an intelligent from Fredericksburg
who at once declared his determination to go for Van
Buren, before Harrison assigning reason, that he
considered Gen Harrison, if not an avowed Abolition
list, yet much too much SO for the Southland that from
MIR. Van Buren, had nothing to fear upon that sub

yet they are yoked together. The Wings must have
rery light load TO draw If uneGually yoked to-
