THE FIGURES,

1t is in vain for the Globe, the n. York
and Boston Posts, and birds of that I'M
clean feather, to talk any more about the
popular vote of Virginia. They dare
not publish the fgmes. They know
they have been beaten every way, and
therefore they are obliged to resort to
their old tricks of making bold, unquali-
fed assertions, that the case is so and so,
without ever producing particle of evil
dcnce to sustain them. We, on our part,
show our whole hand. We have no dis
guisc-wo keep nothing back. We give
tho figures from day to day, and if they
are not correct, let some of the LocofocC
arithmctcians expose their fallacy. lii

PROPHECY & IT'S FULFILMENT

The administration presses assert in
the strongest manner that the late cleo
ton in Virginia is no test of the popular
sentiment upon the measures of the gov
ermment. This declaration comes too
late for belief. disguise it as they nav
the Van Buren, organs KNOW they have
been beaten most disastrously in Virginia.
They have lost every thing for which
they made this doath-struggle. Thoy
have failed in ehecting any thing that
they desired, and they will fail more sig.
nally in the Presidential contest.
The Richmond Enquirer boldly pre-.
dictcd the complete success of its party
1t spoke without ifs or ands, and an
nouncod to its brethren in other State

from the Cherokee Nation states that some MEM

the whole force of about 10000 men, which was
TO be ready to proceed to its destination by the lst
May.
That destination was supposed TO bethe island

General was rather TO alarm than to subdue the,
Chinese, and TO bring them 10 proper sense Of
the value Of English commerce and friendly re!a-

National lntclllocncer, gives the following
amusing incident, connected with the
Election in Hanover county.
"1hs last county has so long been in favor of
the Administration, whether OF jackson or Van
Buren,, that it is subject of joyful surprise and
congratulation among the Wings, and OF course
is rather a sore subject to the Van BTenes, who
have lost many hets on the election there, as also
in Caroline and Powhafan. They tell n curious
story, these Van Burentes, about the causes OF
their defeat in Hanover They say that Larkin
White met with one Of his constituents, the mayor
of IlelItown, in Richmond last winter, and know
ing him to have great influence over all the
HelItown voters, who numbered from 40 to 80 he
introduced him to some of his friends, adding his
official distinction mayor of 1elltown, TO later
the vanity ofthe Heown man. But unfortunate
" the sald Mayor noticed some of his new acquan-
tanccs laughing at the queer name OF his town,
and thought that White was poklng fun at him.
lie therefore went home in great though quiet
wrath, and stirred up his liege men to vote against
White This determination was kept a profound
secret until the day Of election, when they all went
10 the polls at Negroloot in body. The Tories
reloiced TO see so large a body Of voters, of whom
| they felt sure, and hailed their approach with
cheers. But the gallant and patriotic HeIltowr
| men soon changed the tune by voting in lndlar
