&c. are idly cxultng upon the vote of Virginia IL
is ridiculous gasconade. We have carried decided
majority of the popular vote. We have increased our
strength in the House of Delegates and should
have carried the State triumphanty, notwithstanding
the double voting Of the towns, if in few counties
our friends had done their duty In Stafford have
been beaten votes; Bath, they say, by 6; Montgo-
mcry, by g.; Wood, by Z; Hanover, by 10. The
losses in the Congressional District Of Kanawha,
where we had not candidate in tho field, have
alone lost us the majority in the House. In the Sc
nate we have lost one member, account of the
election turning upon particular Senatorial Class;
but the class which line election falls next Spring,
| will turn the tables upon the Wings.
The Wings were never more deceived in their lives,
than when they vaunt OF their victory in Virginia.
The contest proves that the Democracy, in general,
firm, determined and e,es It has increased their
the confidence Of the Republicans in other States
We learn, from the most intelligent sources, that
cause in Virginia is becoming every day stronger-that

which they have been unnaturally associated, and

ticle from the Richmond Enquirer headed, "Let Vir

subjects of u S. Bank, the Distribution the increase
Of the Tariff &C. In that article, it will be seen that
| the Democracy Of Virginia recommended to act
upon those subjects by way of public meetings and The
adoption of Resolutions opposing those measures.-
We concur with the Enquirer on the propriety of the
course recommended. We have just been beaten
in this District for Congress, not because wo have
