Some of the Wings now assert that Virginia IS Clay
State and 10 prove that such is the fact they refer to
the election Of aorly Of Wing members to the House
of Delegates, at the late election An examination Of

expectation of carrying the Old Dominion in the fall =
Look at the aggregate result in the following counties
which have returned Wing delegates

Here arc twent counties, each of which has wing

tic majority in those two counties than the aggregate
whig maiori,ies of eighteen counties The wings may
talk of small democratic majori,ies in few counties
but il is mpos.be for them TO answer or explain away
the foregoing facts and figures.
The Democrats must clearly perceive that their
opponents have nat carried Virginia this Spring so far

election. our majority in the fall, cannot be lie than
3o0o and NAV reach 5000. We believe there are six
