WATCHMAN! WHAT OF THE
NIGHT.

VIlh1 Ut I'LL
NIGHT.
Notwithstanding the noise and buster Of
the wings, their brags and boasts the ndica-
tons from the political horizon are Of the most
favorable character to the cause OF Demo-
cracy. We advise them to call to mind
their high hopes, their bounding anticiPations
and their clamarous brags about the vote of
this county, this state and Illinois, previous
to the late election. We advise them to
call to mind the bets they made, and the con-
fdence they had that they would carry the
whole upper Mississippi by increased MAORI
ties. But they have forgotten all this. The
little victory they obtained in North Carroll
ma has ~maddened them again, and they are
Growing and exulting as though they had
the whole world in a swing. The whips
and scars of experience cannot teach them
wisdom or discretion. But we tell them that
they are doomed to a most inglorious defeat.
The handwriting is on the wall. Demo
cracy will triumph in November, and the
hopes of w~higgery will be blasted as certain
as we get a frost.
Every one knows that the contest will be
in the states of New York, Pennsylvania,
Virginia, Ohio and Tennessee. We present
the latest information from each Of them:
VIRGINIA.
The Charlottesville State Convention met
on the 9th ult. 1t was no log cabin, coon
skin affair, with their thousand flags and BAN
ners. 1t was a collection Of six or seven
hundred delegates from all parts Of the state,
assembled to devise ways and means to drub
the wings in November. 1t was composed
of the first men in the state, who met to delibe-
rate upon the all absorbing subjects involved
in the present cnntest. The Editor of the
Enquirer was present, and he thus speaks Of
the reports Of the members Of the Convention
as to our prospects in The mother of states:
ave have parted in cordial brotherhood
with all our iellow-delegates, and with the
most undoubted conviction Of the success
Of our cause in November next. Not a

ton. A Committee was constituted of %
Delegates, one to the each electoral District.
II was composed of gentlemen of the greet
test discretion and highest character-Dr.
Butler of Smithfeld and of the LIST Electoral
at their head. They took every
pains to ascertain the probable Vote in each
District, without forcing the result-They
appealed for the most accurate Information
10 the Delegates of every county--and they
US, that their calculation was made
upon the basis of a liberal allowance to the
Wings, and of n moderate allotment TO the {
Republicans. The balance sheet presents a
for the Republican party in Is Dis
and eight to the Whigs-and n nett I
summary majority to Mr.. Van Buren, of
5,9I8.-For our wi parts, we have scaled i
some of their calculations by the information q,
we had previously received from numerous
and we have come TO the %conclu. .
lion. that If our friends do their duty, we ,
hall carry the whole State by at least 1000. :
We learn, that our cause il gaining in all I
directions, as light pours in upon the People, .
ind the Humbugs Of the Wings d~issipate in. '
% thin air. There was not a Delegate, with !
whom we conversed. and we talked 10 at least I"
hundred OF them on the result in Virginia; d
who did not seem to have made up a de- U
initive opinion-and there was not one of a
hem who did not count upon a strong and !.
triumphant majority. We, therefore, an !
,ounce to our Republican brethren every )
where, that Virginia is safe, perfectly safe, ;
