The Old Dominion of May 9th gives the result
of the election. As the case stands at present. the
wings have nominal majority of FOUR upon joint
ballot; from this, deduct the vote Of Gen. Bayey
who will not vote for Rives, and it leaves them
three; from this, take A. S. Fulton, the Delegate
from Wythe, who has pledged himself to vote for
the democratic ticket if the county goes for Van
Buren,, as it undoubtedly will, and place him on
our side, and it leaves them but one; we are GER
tain of gaining one, at least, in buckingham, max
ing democratic majority Of ONE upon join, bal
lot. We shall, in all probability gain more than
this one, when all the contested seats come to be
finally settled. All the staggering and clustering
of the federal party about their famous victory,
turns out to be mere moonshine. Our belief is

Speaking of the Virginia election, the n. Y Post
says:
If the wings should keep possession for anoih-
or year of the Legislature of Virginia. this cannot
be considered as test of the political character OF
the State. In voting for members of the House Of
Delegates, the lines of party politics are not so de-
fnitcly drawn in that State us in many others
Besides, in the State elections, freebooter can
vote in all the different counties in which he owns
land, which gives the wings considerable advan.
togc-,he majority of large landhodcrs being OF
that party, In the election of President, however
each citizen votes but once,
To show that failure to eec, majority of the
House of Delegates, is no prooiihat the democratic
party has not minority in Virginia, we need only
refer to the elections of 1882.
In April of 1882, the election of members of the
House of Delegates resulted in the choice of fifty
five members friendly to General Jackson, and
seventy-ninc of the Opposiiion-a large majority oil
the latter party; sufficient, if these local elections
formed any test, to do away all hope of obtaining
the vote of the State for Gen. Jackson.
Yet, when the time for the autumnal election
arrived, when the confess was between Jackson
and Clay, and party distinctions We're strictly oh,
served, Virginia gave an immense majority for tn,
democratic candidate. The vote for Jackson WA.

BATTLE OF TIPPECANOE,

Great claims have been urged by the wings in
behalf of General Harrison, account of his con-
duet at Tippecanoe. To show how tina, affair was
regarded, about the time it happened, we publish
the following extract from the Philadelphia Jour
nal of November 20, 1871 -
The news by yesterday mail is not of the most
pleasing character. The army under Gen. lIarri-
son has been surprised and butchered by the In
dans. Why were they surprised! After all the
experience we have had of the art and ,reachery
of the Indians; after the examples of Rraddock,
and Ilarmer, and St. Clair-uhy uere they sur
prisei? Because their commander wanted fore

by three or four hundred Indians, headed by the
very same Indian, of whom Governor Harrison de-

ATTEMPT TO GULL THE FARMERS.

We caution the farmers against the attempt making by
the banks TO lower the price of wool.
lot sold in this village the other day at twenty five
per pound, which, it said, year ago would have
sold for fifty Thsis said the farmers to be bring
ing things down the specie basis. The truth is this lot
of wool, sheared after The first Of July s35 pas I'M
crashed and feeces broken The seller informs us that the
lot at twenty-five cents now is actually higher than good
WOOL last year was at fifty cents.
The farmers win understand this matter 1t is only an
attempt 10 cry down the price ofher wool and force them
t. sell bank spectators at half its price, The banks
only preparing the way for their runners who will be
furnished with money in penty-whc they cannot dis
count cent to the poor farmers enable them pay
their debts and hold to their wool till they get
fair price for it.
Because man cannot sell lot of July -sheared-un-
washed WOOL for full price, he is vent anathemas upon
the Administration and the odous and awful Sab Treasury
Certainly.
