THE STRENGTH OF TYRANNY

The iyranls chains are only strong
While slaves submit 10 wear them,
And who could bind them on the lhrong
Determined not to bear them?
Then clank Your chains-e'en tho the links
Where light as fashions feather,
The heart which rightly feels and thinks
Would cast them all together.
The lords Of earth are only great,
While others clothe and feed themi
But where were all their pride and state
Should labor cease to bear theme
The swain is higher than the king
Before the laws OF Nature,
The monarch were useless thing,
The Swain 4 useful creature.
We toll. We spin, we delve the mine,
Sustaining each his neighbor-
And who can hold right divine
To rob us ofOur LAHORE
We rush TO hattle-bear our lot
In every i'll and danger,
And who shall make the peaceful cot
To homely Joy stranserl
Perish all tyran;s far and near
Beneath the chains that bind us
And perish, too, that Servile fear
Which makes the slaves they find us.
One grand, one universal claim
One peal Of moral thunder
One glorious burst in Freedoms name,
And rend our bonds asunder.

VIRGINIA CLEAN OUT OF THE
WO0DSt

We can now safely and proudly proclaim that
The good Old Dominion has risen superior to all
the tricks and humbugs OF The Wings, and never
stood on higher ground. She has nobly redeemed
her own principles, and those of her eminent
statesmen of 9S and 80.
In other columns, there will be found returns
from 81 counties and towns. Our gain since
1910 is thus far, 1886 and what is most remark
able, the variation between the returns and the
estimates of the same counties and towns BY DR..
Butler, is only ninety-thrce-in onr farOr Upon
these data, we may safely predict, that the majo-
ritz for Polk and Dallas in Virginia will be not
far from 6,000!

VIRGINIA, MORNING, NOVEMBER

were arrayed in opposition TO the iru' Democra-
cy-yea, and more, The ONE HUNDRED And FIFTY
VOTERS made BY Fulton and others. Some even
from your city we're al the polls, violating the
elective franchise, and outragins justice; STILL de-
spite their unworthy efforts, we have reduced their
majority since 1910 upwards of 100, and in
creased the Democratic vote near 300 The De-
mocracy OF Old Augusta fought hard, and have
won fer themselves imperishable laurels; and now
since we can count near 700 good and true votes
we must no longer be styled the 'sfew Democrats
in Augusta" but we must be denominaed the
true and patriotic Republican Party OF Augusta,
worthy associates of the Republicans OF the
Tenth Legion The Wings look sad, and have
yielded the State by decided majority.
"One word 10 yourselves-W call forthe basket
OF champagne promised by You 10 the Democracy

duty, and nothing short Of our duty We have
done so, now paw up"

'Of the States so classed Polk has ma jority of
Is votes, and his majority in both. certain and
probable is So. We have left New York out of
the question for three rcasons-because lis vote
is so large-bccanse we really have no opinion
how it will go-and because, if the States vote as
we have indicated above, Polk will be elected al
any rate.
Now for few comments on our calculations
And first, of the States we have marked certain
The only ones on the Democratic side, that have
not been generally conceded 10 US by the Wings
are Virginia and Georgia. The latter is now
generally given up by them, and our own inior
nation leaves no reasonable doubt of her vote
We claim Virginia, not only because she has
always been Democratic in the popular vote, even
when the Wings have had majority in the
Legislature, and was one oil The seven in 1910
that swerved not, but because our best intur-
nation assures US, that the Wings have really
no hopes Of her. On the other hand VIC have re-
linquished Maryland 10 Clay, although the Wing
ma jority at the recent election was only $50, be-
cause that State has been generally Wing We
have again left Pennsylvania out Of The list of GER
tain States, because though the Democratic majo-
rity is large enough, still al tho last Presidential
election Pennsylvania changed her vote, and may
by possibility do il now OF the four States we
have set down as prObaJle Tor Polk, three have
given Democratic majorilies since July, and we
adj Tennessee on what we consider good grounds
On the other hand, we give Delaware 10 Clay,
because, though the Democrats carried that State
recently, that election was not a very safe test,
and it has generally been WING. We also give
him Ohio, though the parties were very nicely
balanced at The late eection--lhc Wing Governor
being elected by only 1860 majority out of near
100000 votes Lastly, we give him New Jersey,
because the Wings elected their Governor, al
IL, tha vote f,r Senators *
considered fair test, the parties were neck and
neck. We think, therefore, that our estimates
are on the liberal side, and from them may be de-
duccd this concusion-ihat it is probable Mr..
Polk will be elected by a large majority; possible
that MIR. Clay may be elected by small majo-
rity. And now let the lates decide-we have done
guessing"
