Virginia once more!


Virginia once more!
The unexpected wing the counties have
brought down the democratic majority far as 10 excite
the deepest curiosity and interest here and elsewhere In
Washington on Thursday the wings proiessed to have
heard from every county and to have carried the State
for Taylor by 800 Yesterday, wings the stree, here
counted Virginia for Taylor by majority ranging from
II up to 2l5 What data they had for such calculation
we cannot say All these circumstances have in
duced 10 look with critical eye the actual vote as
far as IL be ascerained Our object has BEEN and
is, not 10 create false hopes alarms in our friends
but to give the result accurately possible We have
therefore taken much pains to arrive al the truth anx.
ious al the same time 10 wipe off the stigma which the
wings have attempted 10 put upon Virginia, exuting in
their calculation that she haa voted for Willard Fillmore
Our conclusions will be found beow-they as correc,
as make Them and doubtless substantially
true They indicate that the good old State We, stands by
her old principles and repudiaes the false gods" TO
whose worship the modern wings "Taylor republicans
would nvegle her.
Our table yesterday showed that in l2l counties the
democratic gains since 1874 were ISL. and the wing
gains 5,s23 The official vote OF Harrison gives los
more wing gain than had been led by the Carksburg
paper to set down. Correcting table in this re spec
and by the official vote in nine counties received yeser
day, table would stand, democratic gains $50 Tay-
lor gains 5,9l5.
But the official vote shows that in Morgan the wing
gain is 2O-and the Baltimore Clipper has returns that
the wings have gained AZ Rtchie 10 in Putnam NEW
county, and that the democrats have gained II in TYLER
and WetZel. Moreover, the Times reports whig gain
of $40 in Cabe and Wayne, and 1856 in Scott and dem
ocratc gain OF 20 in Logan Coating all these elements
we arrive at the following statement:
