THE TWO PARTIES.
We learn rom the Republican. tina; Tonight "a
general rejoicing and jubilee" OF The Wings will
be held al the African Church in honor Of their
grea victory" What the mode 81 cxullaIl =
will be, whether oi torchlishs, banners, embiem,'
&C., we are no; informed bnt secret a, least
IS lei out viz: mat he Wings nave unanimously
resolved that hey 'shouli .ndeayer - tocontuct
the whole affair 10 give as little discomfort TO
our (their) political opponents as possible
This IS very kind and considerate, truly; out We
suspect lha, the Wings in adopting such plan
consulted Msir 0ra comfort as much as that OF
their opponents Il would be difficult for them
TO arrange any suitable notices on their banners
For instance, j, would never do TO applaud Ge-
neral TAYLOR, the hero and successful creature Of
the Mexican War-''a great public crime
which should be branded with eternal reProba-
tIon Again on one side vi bann r, '.no plat,

dent oil the people and not Of party whom
the Wings must vote for on their own respon.

and, on the reverse, "Taylos election has Sc.
cured the adoption Of our great measures--a High
Tariff, repeal OF the Sub-Treasury, and Ma.
tional Bark" &c. The Taylories could not
have arranged their notices without offending
some portion Of their hoterog eneous compound;
and it was therefore ver, consd.rate IN them
not TO attempt il
When the y higs shall have celebrated her
triumph, the Democrats may have meeting
(probably next week 10 rejoice over the victo.

VIRGINIA SAFE THE ORGANS OF rHr
BRlTONS!
The wings confess their "anspeakabe NORTH
cation" IN failing 10 carry this mo.nel OF States
and OF s.atesn en- with Them. They iee their vic.
tory 10 be altogether incomplete. Their Joy in Inc
midst of their triumphs is damped by this meme
rable defeat They value what they have LOST al.
mos. as much As what they have gained. They
have gained Harrison, but they have lost Virgi.
mac u Sle>s nerl she mas s.ood ~ with The
spiri. which mas always marked this proud, IN.

for a federal President and We hope she never
will. Amid all the pillars which have been tenn
porarily pros,rated in Palmyra. the highest pillar
stands, with the inscription:
Virginia the proud aud unlerri6ed common
weah-,rue 10 herself true TO her principles,
true 10 lheif friends, and true 10 the Union"
