But the Wing refers to the reduction OF the majority given
to Mr.. Polk That paper has cut itself of from such an
argument When, from peculiar causes, General Drom-
gooe came near defeat and the democrats conended that
the district still democratic, the wings hooted at the
idea and pointed to the result proof OF the popularity
of wing principles. And now, when we show MAORI
ty of near 40O they still urge that the wing is rap
idy extending in the district. These arguments conflict
and amount to nothing The bold fact stands forth I'M
denable that in special eection-generaly thin-the
district has shown its mistaken democratic strength

abroad to expect wing victory How chilling is the ef-
feet when majority Of four hundred is rolled up on the
democratic side The election is an important one, and
the wing disappointment very great appears from the
following in the Wing:
We regret exceedingly not for the sake of the wing
party ony but of the country and more particularly of the
State of Virginia. which, If all we have heard be true,
Mr. Boiling would have done credit had he been eected
AS some consolation to the Wing, we can assure it
that Mr. Meade will do credit to Virginia though he
will give very little aid and comfort to the wing party

of this kind, elected by his nice sensibility, could
be necessary. independently of the testimony Off

have ourselves letters from high officers of the
Navy Indignantly reprobatng as base and ground
less the aspersions cast upon him.
