VIRGINIA ELEcTIoN.-The result is still
doubtful. Most of the papers state that the
wings have most certainly majority in
joint ballot. The Globe says that "the dem
oc'ats will have 10 majority in the Senate
and the wings 8 majority in the House oil
delegates, exclusive of the wing elected fol
Mecklenburg, pledged to vote for demo
cratic United States Senator. If that who
shall redeem his pledge the democrats will
lRve two majority on joint ballot; if not, the
two houses will be tie! on Joint ballot"

CoOns.-rhis quadruped is now the &C.
knowlcdged emblem of the Wings, and is
the most fitting one that could have been
chosen to represent them. What coons
are naturally, the bipcd coons, or wings
are in principle. Both are dcstroyers-
they first prey upon and destroy the prop
|erty of the people, and the latter are try
ling to subvert their liberties.

THE WINGS AND THE IRISH.

a meeting of the "native American
lWhigs was held at washington Hall,
New York city, on March 2lst, which
was subsequently adjourned to the Park.
sundry speeches abusive of naturalized
|citizcns were made, one Of which as re-
ported in the Herald of the 22d, we copy
below, 1t is quite fashionable just at this
time, in this quarter, for the Wing lead
crs to profess great friendship for the l.
Irish; but it is different in New York New
|Orlcans, and elsewhere. Some ofthc l.
rish may be humbugged by the blarney
of the leading Wings here; but not many.
Here is the speech:
MIR REQuARE then came forward and
addressed the mceting-hc said the low
Irish should be kept out Of the affairs OF
the country.-(chccrs) The American
party should remain true to themselves
land their glorious principles,-Loud
cheering The Irish bog trotters must
he kicked ont Of thcirplaces,-( Cheers. }
We want, my friends to see every thing
right. Unless We put down this dragon
of foreign insolence and impudencc, we
may bid farewell to hope, and if we con-
sent to yield to this foreign yoke that has
been fixed upon our necks, VIC may bid
adicu to our country's prosperity forever.
If We do not do this, we may bid adieu to
our existence, and our independence in
all its majesty ceases forever, Cheers
These vile Catholics in America must be
bound down; these Irish bog-troiters must
be sent back to their native obscurity.-
