VIRGINIA ELEcTIoN-we are now satisfied that
IN this State, the Wings have elected a majority OF
the members OF the Legislature; but we freely cnn-
Tess that majority is not great il should have
been. The Wings are poor managers at an election
They do not lay aud their plans as well as
their opponents. They do not each consider them
selves Committee Of Vigilance their opponents do
They do not go round TO strengthen the weak and
bring the wavering into the fold they do not go
through the country 10 catch by The buttons and
tell them Cock and Bull" stories full OF lies as
words. They do not assemble together in The dark
and consult upon the measures they are to pursue
they do not strive as though their own saliva ton
depended upon each and every vote, and more than
that they suffer themselves be divided on every oc
casion where there IS possibility Of it, Any question
OF however minor importance will bring two wings
before the people Cor their suages even at the risk
of defeat on the great questions Of national policv-
This fact it is that convnces That the minority for
Harrison in Virginia will be far greater than the ma
joriy in The legislature. We have lost two members
IN Western Virginia. yet The popular wing majority
has received accession. thus far of more than 1900
in eight counties That vote in the fall will be yast
ly increased.
