Whiy Or-anizn,i,n.

The Louisville Journal Of Aug. 9th, in reply to tie
Louisville Democrat. makes the f1llowing admissions
If the secret organization Of the Wing party.
Lists If voters IN the city were made out with
great care prior 10 the election. These lists showed
a Locofoco majority of ~ in the first ward. The ac-
tual majority in the first ward Gas proved BY the cleo
tom was 81" According to the lists made out in
all the wards before the election. there were in the
city, in round numbers. 2101 wings. and 1900 loco
focos. The actual vote cast, was for Ow>ley PISS.
Butler l5l2."
The plan of organization thus accidentally devel-
oped. was without doubt agreed upon BY the whig
members of Congress. previous to the last adjourn
ment, and generally adopted BY the wing party in all
the States. This is the reason why they have been
able to increa s. their strength III the legislature Of
this and one or two other States. nOtw outstanding
they have fallen off in the popular vote. Their great
object was TO secure the L.. 5. Senate. though they
might be defeated in Clay. The result shows the ne
cessity Of coun,eracting efforts on the part Of the
Democracy.

G-TAc Journal exeepts to our table OF the popular
vote. as regards the counties Of Jackson, Wayne and
Switzerland, as we expected. 1t may be true, that
according to tie rule we adopted. which is certainly
"a far f r the Wings "a for the Democrats. and as
far a. any other which could be suggested, the
counties named show too flyorally for cur side.
But it is as broad as it IS long. and the Wings gain
as much more than they are really entitled to. in other
%counteS by that rule, as we gain in those named.
We are willing however, To leave out from the
calculator tie counties excepted TO BY the Journal,
and Mcp, taking the State at large, we IRE sure that
we shall show an aggregate Democratic vote, from
3,C0D 70 5000 largcr than that Of the Wings.

time this session the Senator from Kentucky has re-
