VIRGINIA ELECTION.

In preceding column will be found the returns
from our State election as far ns received. All OF
the Counties have not yet been heard from, but 4
Sufficient number to place the result beyond doubt.
The Locofoco party have undoubtedly succeeded in
carrying the State, 10y eleciing most decided ma
ory of the members OF the Legislature.
This Result, temporarily unpropitious and NOR
tifying as 1t may be, proves any thing else than
that the wings have lost strength, md the Locos
gained strength. The election was far, very far,
from being test of the strength of parties in our
State. These views are conclusively sustained by
facts, and Just differences. By comparison Of the
vote ct the late election with the vote of preceding
elections, 1t will bo clearly percepiible that whilst
the vote OF the Wing party is considerably smaller,
the vote of the LocotOco party rs not larger than
heIeiofore.-And the great and decided ma iority OF
the Loco party, without any late change in the
noicy OF the two parties, renders It manifest that
there could not have been any thing like full eX
preston of the Wing voce-ior indeed il would DC
passing strange tor the members Of party 10 desert
il to such an extent as the decided majority OF the
Locos would seem TO imply, without some good and
tangible cause. IL therefore follows that there has
been loss and gain in the relative strength OF the
two parties. Although the Locos have carried the
State for the present. they have not increased their
strength, have the Wings in fact lost strength.
The of the result Of the election is TO be
found in the apathy Of the wings, in their failure TO
DO their duty 10y not gong TO the polls and voting.
They suffered the election in truth IN go by default.
They held the power 10 carry the State as hereto
fore, had they been swnyed Ivy zeal commensu.
rate with the goodness n their cause which is in
dispensabe to us ultimate triumph.
But despond not. To be defeated is not 10
I've conquered. We believe, indeed that good will
flow from tic result Of this election. Is effect
cnnno, fail to be otherwise than convince the Wings
that zeal, perseverance, and organization ndis-
pensnbie to the triumph of ,her cause and princi-
cIples-a cause upon the Of which they
resioUsly believe depends the advancement ofiihc
hest interests Of their country. A more patriotic
party never existed, because swayed alone and eX-
therefore, fail in calling forth all IFS powers in doing
its duty mInlIlly, in the great struggle OF 1874.
However much the Wings may be censurable Tor
their recent failure Of duty, their past course Tor
- long years gives ample assurance that despond-
ency forms part OF their character, and that when
the great day Of trial comes they will not be ousd
deficient in the discharge of the highest du,y Of
freemen

a MONKEYS MEMORY

Authors generally seem % think that the mon-
key race are not capable OF retaining lasting I'm =
pressiors; but their memory is remarkably tenn
cious when striking events call il into action. A
monkey, which was permitted to run free, had fre
quently seen the servants in the great country
kitchen, with It's huge FIRE place, take down the
powder horn that stood on the chimney pie,e, and
throw few grains into the fire, to make Jemima
and the rest OF the maids jump and screams, which
they always did on such occasions very prettily-
Pug watched his opportunity, and when all was
sull, and he had the kitchen entirely to himself
he clambored up, got possession Of the well filed
powder horn, perched himself very ginserly on
one side of the horizontal wheels placed for the
support OF sauccpsns, right over the waning
ashes OF on almost extinct wood fire, screwed
of the toe of the horn and reversed Il over
the CRATE. The explosion sent him half way
up the chimney Before he was blown w, he
was snug, trim, well conditioned monkey
as you would wish TO see IN summers day; he
came down black, carbonated Niger IN min IA
ture. in an avalanche of burning shoot The
hump with which lac pitched upon the hot ashes
in the midst of the general lArc up aroused him
to a sense oil his condition. lie was missing
Tor days. Hunger At last drove him forth and
he sncnked into the house close singed, aud
looking scared and dcviIish. lie recovered with
care, but, like some other personngcs, he never
cot over his sudden elevation and fall but
became sadder II not wiser monkey. Ii ever
Pug forgot himself and was troublesome, you had
only To take down the powder horn in his presence
and lie was OIL TO his hole like a shot, screaming
and chatering his Jaws like pair of castanets.

Notwithstanding the defeat Of the Whig canIi
dates at the recent elections in Virginia the Wing

ceiSed that drubbng, and we believe IL will do us
good not only by showing the necessity OF union

From The nlrri.nn WING.

The result Of the late Election should by no

show that they have lost single individual from
their ranks, but on the contrary, they may rejoice
Tor tins defeat is only the forerunner of ultimate
success in their efforts to accomplish good for the

taken from the Wing party, and placed upon the

effected.
