Hail 10 The q d Domiuion!,

all pc of the we regret that it is not in
our power to publish them all But must confne
ourselves to few specimens
"The result of the Virginia election is another evi.
dence and conclusive one Of the onward progress of
a correct public opinion. Demonstration after demon.
straon has been made by the Staies they have held
their elections of the triumph of public virtue and De-
mocratic principles Unlike most Of the Su,es which
gave way under the debauch of 1910, Vrg proudly
held her own, and repealed with the low butoon-
cry in which some aspiring TO be statesmen INDUCED,
and which even the clergy to great extent, dared not
or did not repove The shock which the prolgae and
the vicious made upon her great, but she wthstood
IT. great as II was, and the victory recently obtained by
her Democracy, is gratifying compliment TO her prln-
cPes-to the Democracy of the country, and 10 her
Gent character 1t has been long since we have wit
messed such triumph in the cold Dominion, as that
which the Democracy has lhis Spring obtained. Her
recreant Senators, and those whe deserted the faith
to which they once belonged, have received rcbuke,
such they ner'lcd from those whom they de-
ceived and had deserted. The old banner State, the
land of Jefferson, mus, lead The Democracy to
victories She who proved true III the worst OF times,
and has done we'll, deserves the confidence and
regard OF all. Hail to Virginia. we never loved her

should infer from the tone of their organ, the Richmond

to think that they Will find II difficult lead TO sup

their shoulders the responsibility, not only OF conduct

Federalists rejoice nj being relieved from 1t. They
have pushed their unprincpled schemes of e1trava-

land distribution, internal improvement speculations,

the just verdict Of an enlightened people, they go s,ea-

charge of their duty, avoiding responsibility and
stunning no scrutiny. CatshW, az ~ Rso"rder.
"TmE FINAL REsuLr.-The entire result of the late
election in Virginia is fully ascertaDed, and
more glorious triumph never crowned any people or
State than the present one. We have avoided re-
marks and exultation heretofore, and ii is not IN
tenon al this time to over our PROSTATE oPpo-
nents Bnt we must congratulate the Democracy OF
the country upon the happy effects which The princl-
piles Of our party, laid before the people in PLAIN IN
vanished truths, have produced upon the "soJer
cond MOugM Of the people of this good old Common.
wealth. THIS IS another evidence that the principles
Of rectitude upon which the Democratic party have
always based their hopes of success are such as
10 stand the test Of scrutiny of the country, and
when compared with the false appliances of the
Wing party -Whiggery is found wanting, and is out
weighed in the political balance In the late contest,
every exerton made by the Wings and their presses
sustain their sinking fortunes and as money has al
ways been the great lever Of the party TO effect the work
of bribery and corruption it applied freely to the
people in the shape Of the reception of Ngnas p"r-
ton Of the Distribution fund 10 relieve the pressing
Of the State II resisted upon the repubil-
can principle by the Democracy, and the people have
nobly sustained it. And that we have the as
cendancy TO the number Of fortytsoo votes on JOINT
ballot in the two houses, may look with certainty
for the great weight of talents in that body TO right
the Ship of State and correct the many abuses CON-
mted by the Wing majority for the last three years
Our IT, S Senators, Messrs Rives and Archer, are
incorporating people and State in the National
Legislature, most Of the measures of the great Wing
party, and hope TINT they will be instructed
SD 10 reflect the will of The State, or resign their
seats We could say much more this subject, in
the exposure Of the Wing party, and it is what they
Justly deserve at our hands, but we have determined
to carry out the Republican principle, VIZ: to sustain
the cause of the people with frmness and zeal; sink
or swim with the best interests Of country, and
VIXEN success attends the efforts Of tic party TO use
that success with the moderation that is worthy OF the
Democratic party "-finens1e Democrat.
