MANY DISADVANTAGES.

Before the election in Virginia, the Rich
mond Enquirer was apparently in the high
est hopes. .sAll is right in Virginia was
his constant exclamation. .sThe democratic
party'' as he called the Van Burenites were
sure of victory, because every circumstance
around them, pointed directly 10 it. Now,
the "veterGn" Richie groans out-0h!-
sue haze fought under many disadvantage"
Verify that sentiment is true. Indaed you
did. You had Van Buren's Sub-Treasury
Scheme-lfis standing army-his Official in
reference in elections-his unheard of ex-
travagance in public expenses-his reduc-
ton Of tOGges-his usurpation of Legislative
power-his opposition to currency and trade
his contempt of the people-his war upon
industry--his ruin qf the country and his
promise to continue these things in spite
of the lamentations of the people,; and how
could Mr.. Riches party be expected 10 sue
coed in an election with such .sdisadvanta.
ges'-? Ceartainly no reasonable man could
have expected so much. Mr.. Richie is per.
fectly correct and altogether excusable.
