The day before, i, employed similar ia"s""S,

its own weakness, The Wing Party lock alone 70
the TROUBLES of the Loccs" TO gam poii''cal az
vanlag,s. Welay before our friends Tins aSo"-
ea puicv 81 he Viii. organ, that they may ac'
rnlc,>andngy We haze 10 idea 'ha' 'iie 'e-
muc.ats OF The Legislature VIII allow me J" h'ss
10 cleo, q Governor OF a Senator, or VIII iea'e II
10 he who's kind patriotic souls, 10 decide who
are "woubv Of Virginia" The Democrats,
animated by bu, one feeling Of regard Tor
the success OF their principles and Of venc-
ration for Virginia, will, upon tu'i conference
present "wolthy" candidates Tor each q TIC
high Offices. and the whole party will sustain and
eec, the nominees. The Wings will enjoy no
"Iroubles" OF their opponents, ana viii be forced
10 vote either for The nominees or for candidates
Of ,l.eir own Wing parry. The Democrats are
moi quite ">oll enough" 10 break up into iras-
men.s. and rresen, several nominees, between
whom the Wings may decide, and. hy controlling
the result, boast Of Wing triumph. From our
knowledge O, the Democratic party OF Virginia
We have 70 fears ct their falling into The trap Sc
bunelinsly sci for them. Bn!, 10 "make assur.
ance douby sure" we call tie attention OF oul
friends 10 The calculations of the Wings II nc
other hiqLer motive induced the Democrats OIL
The Legislature 10 &C, with harmony and union
this confession o: The Wing organ, that his par

1 I.ocoe, ana control thu result is sufficient 10
inspire their parry pride, and s'ihe all selfish
feeling. "Forewarned, forcarne1," in pTosperi
t. as in adversely, is the golden rule Of perlna-
! nent success.
The Whg among The other strange ancies
with which lis Imagination teens, travels heyonf
the limits The State, and inlinaes that the Edl-
Tor Of The Union has privately intermeddcd in
the elections Of Governor and Senator, for certain
candidates and against others. This called lo!Ih
The following rehuke in Saturday nights Cnon'
which, in Justice 10 The Republican parry Of Vir-
eiria 10 The Editor oiihe uricn and 10 ourselves,
We iepub ish:
"The Richmond Wing is pleased 10 inslnuale.
that Wills, we say nothing open in The Union,
abou, our preference Of Senator from virginia,
ne indicate oar wishes in private letters. Let us
10 ips,;ce 10 ourselves We knox what is due 10
thai plou,; State: and whilst we take the deepest
intete., in her destinies We know what is due 10
ourselves We have not meddled with any 81
her elections il any form whatsoever; ana we
mean mol Ia NEEDLE with them. We Will net
minsic with appointments here or there. We
have oiher tuics 10 cngross our attention, lgrave
and Interesting enough they are, in all conscience,
ana The cahinei al Washington, and the Lcgisla-
ture Of Virginia, arc amply competent 10 select
their own officers, without our inierposiiion. Let
US also adl-wia i, perhaps, alike due 10 The pre-
senedilors oi he Enquirer and 10 the editor OF The
'Unon'--ihat in all great matters we pretend rct
to advise them They have principles and under
standings Of their own, 10 regulate their own
course I he only advice which we have ever
given them is Let the storm OF abuse fall upon
nv heati-never defend me. These attacks can,
10; inurc me in The opinion Of a virtuous people.
As Tor yourselves do rot initiate the tone OF my
opponents Preserve The dignity Of The press, as
becomes gentleman for, if editors 90 noi treat
each other as gentlemen, how can they ever expect
uilcr, IL do ii?
