Omens IN Virginia.

Omens An Virginia
WgsTMoaELAsD County, the birthplace Of
WAsHiNGroN, has given the largest Wing ma
iority she ever gave, at the late Election putting
Wing Congressman in place Of a Loco. her
vote is some three Wing to one.
FAIRFAX, the County in which WASHINGTON
spent the last years Of his life and gave his last
vote, has also gone Whig-oitcn Loco.
ALBEmARLE, he County Of JEFFERSON, has
elected two Wing Delegates, one Of whom uas
mot q candidate, turning out two Loco Focos, and
giving decided majority for Congress against
her orsn apostate son, Thomas w. Gilmer
LoCDoUN, the County of MONROE, has given
a large Wing majority, usual.
Hanover, the birth place of PATRICK Henry
and HENRY Clay, which gave Van Buren, ma.
.yority for President, has turned out her Loco
Foco Delegate and given a majority for John NJ.
Bolts for Congress.
These arc but few items. There is scarcely
a County IN which a large vote has been called
out IN which the result Is not suspicious to the
Wing cause. And best of all, the Wings have
every where fought the battle as Wncs, taking
the most decided stand for the principles and
measures Of their party These have called forth
a popular enthusiasm wherever they were frankly
presented and secured good vote; while Henry
A. Wise, with all his whining about persecution
and the universal conviction that he would have
great majority, has not policd third Of the
cote of the District, nor euen Of has own County.
u The name Of Hon. MoRRIs FRANKLIN, the
Wing Senator from this District, was not signed
30 the Address issued at the close of the late Scs-
sion OF our Legislature; and this circumstance,
taken In connection with the fact that Mr. f. fire.
quen,ly voted upon nominations with the friends
OF Gov. Bouck in the Senate, III opposition to the
genuine Loco.F and the rest of the Wings,
and sometimes adverse TO the Wings on other
questions has given rise to inputatons til't Mr..
Franklin had abandoned his uniform political as
sociations and therefore declined to sign the Ad
dress. Such is very far from the fact We arc
authorised to state that Mr. +. was present at tho
meeting of the Wing Members when the Address
was considered, and that he then united in APP
proving it and still regards it as expressing his
own convictions and cmbodying his principles
Having stated so much, it is proper that VIC
should explain the omission Of Mr. Franklin's
name from among the sgncrs of the Address. 1t
happened thus After the Address had boon con
eidcred and approved by the Members, and they
had separated. ii was discovered by the Commit
The having charge of its revision and publication
that one OF Tho most remarkable features of In,
Sesslon--the resoiutely prosecuted and shamclully
defeated attempts of Senator Dickinson to pro.
cure thorough Legislative investigation and OK
posurc OF the means by which Canal Comnlis.
sioner BoucE, Appraiser H,n,LroN Il Co had
expended Three Millions and Half of Dollars i'll
enlargng fourteen miles OF the Erie Canal north
from Albany, and in making sldccuts, etc. where
they or their cronies had become owners of the
1and-had been overlooked in the hurry Of pre-
2arng the Address during the busy scenes of the
closing week. This deficiency was supplied; but,
as Mr.. Frankn's name had been used on the
embarrassing Committee of Bouck's friends, and
as Mr.. +. had not been consulted with regard &c
this part of the Address, while his personal rela
lions with Gov. Bouck were understood to be init
anate and friendly, 1t was thought due TO HIM that
he should not be involved III seeming inconsis
tency before the public, and therefore his name
was not affixed to the Address, The Wings d,
not believe in The rule adopted at the Regency
Caucus of affiXing TO their Address the names o
all who do not expressly dissent from It's view:
and assertions they believed the prcsump,io,
that member migat wish 10 dissent from par
agraph of the Address good reason for emitting
his name. Such was the simple and sole reason
why MIR, Frankfns was so omitted And we
feel bound here To add that, If Mr.. Franklin does
believe that there We're not shameful COLLISION
reckless prohigacy and gross fraud in the conduc,
oi the Regency officers on the Canal section be
fore alluded to, or that Commissioner now Gov
ernor) BoucK was not clearly cognizant of ant
deeply implicated in them, then he differs on thai
point from every other Wing in the Legislature
and from nnety-nne of every hundred Whig
who have looked INTO the evidence aaduccd b,

was. Blu, such difference, ii it exists is simpl,
one OF opinion ON q question involving no Pohtca
