The Richmond w mig VI iueSuoyt s>
ming up the results already achieved IN lne Oou-
yressiona elections, appeals TO the wings Oh
v;ro;nan 10 clinch the nail and secure the I'll
nmnb OF The party in the House Of Representa-
,;ves. It,es the party here that "much depends
upon them" iha, they can "by vigorous and har'
monious action elect at least FIVE, perhaps six
REPRESENTATIVES. Lei us see The bill Of paTiicr-
lars
1.-THE Metropolitan District ought TO be re-
deemed" Perhaps it ought; but many lhinSs
that The Wings ought 10 do are not done. we
are inclined 10 think that no matter how gene
rally The party may day aside their an'ipaIhies
and preferences in support Of the nominee OF the
District Convention" the election OF Wing will
moi be broueh, about. The Democrats Of this
Dis,ric, have moved on TOO steadily and soldly,
and faithfully in past times 10 render II al all
probable lha, they will alIer in the approaching
contest. They WILL We trust, leave the merito-
rious Wing gentleman who happens 10 be nomi-
na,ed jus, where he was be!ore-a man VINO
ougat to have been elected.
"The Accomac District can likewise be easily
carried, il the Wings OF The Eastern and Western
counties will lay aside their unworthy local pre-
JUDGES, TO which alone the present Represenle.
tive owes his triumph, al The last election On
naughty Wings OF the bay region why are you
so prejudiced Do lay aside your present notions
and proven, the Wings particular friend, Gen.
Bayly, from going again TO Congress.
1.-THE Buckingham District, with an efficient
and popular candidate in the field lit never had
one heretofore, We presume, though The changes
are slightly agains, us lhe Editor can speak
from experience, for be was himself beaten may
be revolulionized" The staple argument OF Col.
Hubbard is TO be Withdrawn, and The price OF To-
bacco is 10 refue his statistics and defeat his
electon-so The Wing predicts. We guess moi,
however; and though the Wing may deride The
Colonel's statistics, (Which seem 10 be sore
subject with the Edlor,) we venture 10 say they
will come out nearer The truth than its own pro-
phecy about The election.
In the Kanawha District "alriumph may be
easily effected" All that the Wings have TO do
is 10 rally upon the party candidate" They
must not, however stop 10 enquire any thing
about his residence let him come from Kama
wha or Harrison, or Mason or Wood, they are
To- vote for him. We really congratulate the
Wings OF the Kanawha region upon the easy
victory they are 10 have.
The Wing expects 10 see the Spo,isylvania dis
rict certainly redeemed" All that is wanting
there, is The "udiccus selection OF a candidate,
and zeal and unanimily in his support" Take
care Wings, OF the Spousylvania district! Be up
on your guard Remember The indiscreions OF
Newton Beware Of The ambition Of The ''many
able and distinguished Wings" who would b.
standard bearer" OF your "intelligenl district
Let US unite our own hopes with those OF the
Wing: Give US fair field and the district will
not be debaieable after next April.
The Norfolk District is one which The Wing
says 1--WE do no, despair Of" comfortable stale
of mind, truly In the Winchester District, the
prospect is even "a shade less hallering," and
"proper exerions" Chat is, we suppose, most
tremendous sliuggle) must be made.
From the Wing Of Tuesday, j, would appear
thai the above were all OF The detachable districts
in Virginia The paper Of the next day correcls
the error. Whilst the Editor was casting his
eve over the State, in his zeal 10 have that dis
trict righted, ofwhich he could say, quorum magma
PAYS FIJI, he forgot TO mention the one which al
Joins and par; hens il ill., He forgot Albcnarle
in his yea for Buckingham. Henow sounds the
alarm for The A lbemarie district, and ii his nvo-
cation could lie heard another Irving would
come forth with faunring coloIs and sanguine
hopes-oniyto b. beaten.
The Wing is determined that Mr.. J. S. Pen
deton shall no longer be "a lone star" in the Vir-
enia delegation. He is TO be shorn OF his honors,
and other Wings are 10 stand beside him. IL
may be: il may happen that some cause, now un-
foreseep, will defeat one or two Of our men, but
we have TOO much confidence in the integrity OF
our party in Virginia 10 believe that they Will
fall back in the contest next Spring, although
others around them have ainched. Evory thing
points 10 the necessity OF ms,om and good under
standing among them. Nothing more is wanting
10 render the future as successful as The past.
