his party OF his vote against adding the
slave territory Of Texas to the union-has recently
addressed a meeting of his party Exeter upon the
subject Of his prescription, and the report is that he

tco thnt he will address his locofoco brethren wher-
they express desire in writing to him do
II is suggested that the calls upon him are likely to
be numerous notwithstanding all the Polk prints in
the State are hammerng him every week.
The Polk prins, in order to poison the minds OF
''ihe democracy" that the Wings will support
him. or this there to be certain sign, for
we perceive that the Statesman-the organ of the
Wing party-has at its head the name OF Ichabod
Goodwin, Of Portsmouth, a sound Wing as their can
didate-and opposed 10 Texas much as Hale and
a protective Tariff man also. The Enquirer, another
influential wing paper, published at Dover where Mr.
Hale resides, urges the support of MIR Goodwin.
Should the Wings see that they could not elect a
man ofther own & by voting for Hale efec, the cleo
ton o. an oPposer of Texas, in this event. they may
possibly vote for Hale At present they do not show
indications Of such purpose.

supper, the Tariff of 1912 and the distribution of the
proceeds Of the sales of the public lands. To which
he replied that If he elected he should sustain the
Tariff without change, and that he would also support
the last named measure, in the same event. The
correspondence between tho Wings Of the Legislature
and Gen Cameron just published, discloses these
facts beyond question. "

We are not disappointed in Virginia. The same
influences which impelled her to give over 5000
,na;oritv last Fall against her noblest living son,
have doubtless prevailed again. We hoped against
hope tina, the frank generous Boris might be re-
,uyo.d 10 Congress, but the Saye-breedng interest,
of which Richmond is the chief port and the focus,
has crushed him. A Ttras Wing (not yet Texas
Loco) is chosen Delegate from Richmond City,
and Bolts is beaten in the District some or 6Oo.
Willough5y Newton, who went for Texas last
Winter. and wrote letter to his constituents, VIZ
tuaIly denouncing the Southern Members who
went against Texas as betrayers Of the South, ts
run out by R. NJ. T. Hunter, by considerable
majority. II is evident that the stralght-out Wings
could not be rallied TO support New,on-hence his
defeat The tears live In an onion that shall wa
ter that sorrow.'

elected from the Loudoun District over John .
Pendleton, the regular Wing candidate. Morton,
the Teas Wing, had Withdrawn before Election
Archibald Atkinson, Loco, isdoubtess reelected
from the Norfolk District, though R. H. Whitfield,
Wing. is ahead on all the returns we have Teceived.

who is elected Sou,hall, Wing, crosses Chesapeake
Raw ahead, but it is expected that the Eastern
Shore Counties, though Wing, will reeect Gen.
Ravly. Loco, as he lives in Accomec, while South
all Is unknown there.
In the Frederick (X,h) District, Jacob Bedlnger,
Ind. Loco, has probably.beaten VIM. Lucas, late
Loco Member.
This is about all the news we have. and 1t looks
like Virginia in her dotage. We shall be agree
ab,y disappointed if the Wings have three OF the
fifteen Congressman. (They had four in the last
Congress, after Goggin obtained his seat but one
holted on Texas, so that they averaged just about
three throughout, the term.)
The Legislature, which had last year ttoo Wing
majority on Joint Ballot, is now probably the other
