MANUFACTURE OF STEEL IN yIR.
GINA.

The Richmond Compiler states that the
Legislature Of Virginia has granted certain
privileges TO Mr. Broadmeudow for tho
manufacture Of steel. II is made (says
the CompIler,) on new plan, for which
Nh Broadmeadow received paten, in
June last for the whole United States, for
Ia years. The saving in this process is
so great, and The minerals in this State so
well suited for the purpose, that there
seems no doubt that the iron ores of this
State, when converted into steel, will be
transported to Europe, and sold at a profit
IN The English market, that now supplies
The irhoie rorld, and the United States
made independent from her own resources.
The quality Of steel made on this plan has
given such satiGaction in New.YoIk, that
one house has given IA written order for
t9o tons per day.

The Right Course.

The late glorious Democratic victory over whggery
and Natiyism in the city of New York, surprised
many who not aware of the true basis Of the
successful issue. 1t was Swallowed forth few days
previous to the election at a great meeting in Tam
many Hail. in the following resolutions. They speak
the true policy which ought always and every where
to be followed by the Democracy. Faithfully attend
ed to, success is certain
Whereas We regard unwavering support of
Regular Nominations, when made by the Conventions
chosen directly by the people, fundamental prin
ciple of our party, which when rigidly adhered to
always ensures glorious triumph but when disre-
garded creates dsrust and produces disunion in our
ranks and ensures victory to opponents therefore,
Resolved, That the assembled Democracy of the
city of New York earnestly exhort every truehearted
Democrat, and all who deem the ascendancy of Demo-
cratic principles essential to tie happiness and we'll

be Democrats, who permit their to be used as
candidates for election in opposition to regularly
nominated ticket disorganizeTs and enemies TO the

Let the Democracy of Indiana universally act in
accordance with these precepts, and they will insure to
our party glorious victory in August next.

to do Look over the political history Of the State as

The result of the Virginia elections is brilliant and
decisive. The " Union I" last received says We
have gained one Senator at least, thus making our
majority in that body 10.
In the House of Delegates, We have turned the
tables upon the Wings and converted their majority
Of II in the last House, TO % for the Democrats
making net gain of 81
Thus we have according to the present returns, a
majority on joint vote Of both Houses, of S2-secur
ing firm and decided Republican Senator of the
United States in lieu of Mr.. Rives.
And for Congress, we have carried every member,
except one. In the last Congress, the Wings had
members to our IL. Now, we have IA to their
lone 4" 1. But this is not the sole fruit Of our
brilliant victory. We have not only increased the
number of our Representatives in Congress; we not
only send number comparatively greater than Vir-
gna has ever sent up and probably greater than any
other State sends but of talent which is
unsurpassed by that of any other State, and equal
nearly so, to what Virginia has ever sent to the
