The result of the late election in Virginia must give
heart TO the democrats everywhere. II shows what
may be done By energy and by action. British gov
enor once paid her the high compliment Of calling her
1.-THE unerrifed Old Dominion; p and she deserves the
character at The present moment. When MIR Polk was
elected, his friends everywhere flushed With their
victory, and they struck Boldly for the House of Repre-
senatves They animated by their success whilst
the wings cowed We carried the next spring four
teen out Of fifteen representatives in Virginia, and VIC
counted up in the next Congress majority of sixty dem
oeratc members But the is somewhat re-
versed Our friends in Virginia have this spring had TO
contend against wing President who has just come into
power. If he were strong man, surrounded by the
moral force of his elevation, they would have had
to encounter fearful odds But the election OF Gen. Taylor
has not the degree dashed the hopes and daunt
ed the spirit OF the deocst, In her elections New Hamp
shire has stood up with indomitabe and successful
energy In Connecticut they have carried three out OF
four members; and the triumph of Virginia appears
to be decisive. We have already gained Boss dis
triet, and Goggn's and Fournoys, and it is reported
Preston's district and unless trick is played upon
us in Little Tennessee, shall gain Futons district.
Here are five of their districts recovered and unless
we lose one member in the Kanawha (Thompson's) dis
trct, or in the Wheeling rowns) the triumph will be
complete Besides in the strongest wing district in the
whole State Pendeton is defeated and Morton "a liberal
whis) is elected in his place.
