From The Richmond Wig.
TO THE WINGS OF VIRGINI.

"From North to South, from East to West,
Wing hearts swelling high
Rekindled hope in every breast,
And light in every eye!
The dark night fades-the morn uppears
And breaks away the gloom of years"
Yes, Wings of Virginia. the light has
again dawned upon this Heaven favored
Country, shrouded so long in Jacksonian
darkness. with the purpose of making the
People better by suffering, ard tho path
of the country TO prosperity and happiness
is plainly revealed! OF the thorough and
overpowerng success Of the Wing cause,
there is not remaining doubt, in the
Union at large. In the East, the Middle,
the Western and the Southern States, il
will carry majorities Of the STATES, and its
popular majorities at the Polls will have
TO be computed by hundreds of thousands,
no; by thousaads-li,e:ally to be measur.
ed not counted.
There is one question, however, which
suggests deep solicitude to every true
Wing: 1t is as to the vote of Firginia
herself: Virginia which gave birth to
Henry Clay: Virginia which heretofore,
stimulated by the private hatred and NOR
bid jealousy of coter!e Of persons in this
city who remembered private grudges but
forgot public obligations. has treated Hen
ry Clay like step-mother That noble
son of hers who, relying upon his own
energies, and gifted by Providence with
the most consummate talents, has Illus
trated her fame while he established his
own, and demonstrated that the soil of
great men, the native soil of Washington,
Henry, Jefferson, and Madison, had not
"lost the breed of noble bloodS."
There is among the Loco Foco leaders
particular, an engrossing, tormenting
anxiety TO deprive Henry Clay of the
vote of his native State. This we be.
lieve to be, at this time, the controlling
feeling Of the leaders Of the Party. MOI
to defeat Mr.. Clay-that they know 80
be impossble--not inspired by the hope
Of reversing the sentence already passed
by the American People-but to mortify
Mr.. Cay, and TO preserve an important
rallying point for future party operations.
Wings oil Virginia! Shall we not re.
buke this iIliberal and malignant senti.
ment! Shall we not shew to the traducers
of the great Patriot that his native State
properly appreciates his services TO his
country and the fame which he has won
for her, and that his countrymen will sus-
tain hun against the assaults Of hatred
and calumny.

The Charleston Mercury Of July 81

Vice Presidency Of the United States :;
and are you, or not, of the opinion that

en- in good faith for them?
"2. Whatever may be your opinion of
Mr.. Folks ability, in the event of his
election, TO effect repeal of the tariff OF
1912, and to break down the protective
system, have you any doubt of the SINGER
i,v of his opposition to the entire system
of protection, and that the influence of his
high office will be in good faith exerted
to subvert it 7"
Mr.. Holmes answers:
"Gentlemen: have just received your
letter, in which two queries are distinct.
ly put, and as distinctly will reply:
"lst. | am in favor Of the election of
Mr.. Polk and Mr.. Dallas, and am decided

INDICATIONS OF GENTLEMAN.-"Jo
Sykes" Of the N. Y. Commercial is rare
observer Of human nature, and in one of
his letters from Saratoga, he remarks as
follows:
This railroad is great leveller, at least
while they who como here use it. For
merly the rank or pretension OF the visiter
was indicated by the style in which he
came. Ii he drove coach anu Two, or
four in-han3, with servants in livery, he
was a man of rank, or intended TO have it
so understood, and there was CORES
bonding hustle among the servants, por.
tiers and bar. keepers, and TO him were as
signed the best quarters the house afford
ed; but if he came in the mail coach, or
in the more humble conveyance Of CON-
mon wagon, be kicked up no dust, and
had room in the cocklolt, like the one
occupy. Now the bell rings, as The train
approaches, giving notice 10 all that all
sorts are coming, and all assemble to re-
ceve them-and as The cars roll by, the
men and women sit bolt upright, the man
from town looking for all the world
like the man from the country. The hat
and coat OF the latter are probably mado
by the same man who fashions those Of
the former, and his trunk, as il is pitched
out OF the baggage car, appears to be as
well strapped up, and to have as many
large brass rivet heads on it as that of his
fellow traveller.
1t is not until the waters, hack drivers
and porters see through the windows OF
tho depot house, which they are not per.
mitted to enter, the visiter pointing out his
baggage by some characteristic motion,
or till some peculiar article of it is claim
ed by him, that his real breeding begins
to develope itself. Then the bowling and
scraping indicate who is who, and what is
what, and we know that some important
and unimportant parsonage has arrived.
The sagacity OF these fellows is Temarka-
BILE. To man who loves to look at hu-
man nature as it is, there is no place Of
amusement greater than the railroad de.
pot when the cars come in.
