RICHMOND DAILY WING.
Old Alexandria VIDE A,rake.
SATURDAY MORNING. OCTOBER u, Is4,.

See the proceedings OF the Wing Club of Alex
andria, below.
Though DISTINGUISHED, and debarred entirely
from the exercise of those political rights, so dear
tn the hearts of ireemen, Alexandria observes the
current of events, with keen an interest, as any
city within the limits of the Old Dominion Ii
there be more entire Wing population any where,
it is to be found in this city alone. The people
of Alexandria, have escaped the communicating
and degrading effects which disfranchisement has
had on much of the District of Columbia. They
are not dependant on the court for existence. and
do not imbibe its vices. Besides their Old Virgil
ma simplicity of character, works off and neutral
ICES any i'll effects such evil communication NAV
have.
We wish, every Nirginan wishes. that Alcxan-
dra could be restored TO the bosom of the Old Do
mion. What useful purpose it can answer, To re-
strain her and Georgetown under the District
System, instead of restoring them to their several
parents, Virginia and Maryland, we canno, see.
Both eagerly desire it.
We offer our brethren of Alexandria, in the
name of the wings of Richmond, our warmest
sympathes. We hope the time will come. when
we shall be found together in the common cause |;
when the franchise of Alexandria shall be restored
and she made once more portion of Virginia.
We have heard, though we do not know whether
it be not, that Alexandria retains stronger
traces OF old Virginia than any other town in the
Commonwealth
Though they cannot roie, friends of Alexan-
dra may render themselves otherwise extremely
useful. They have promised 10 serve the cause to
the best of their ability, and have every reason
10 believe they will keep their word. We say TO
them then, "be steady in your purposes and do not
fail It's, AT the dead pinch: we will be faithful TO
