Virginia Election,

The returns of the election in Virginia shew
Democratic gain. The Wings on the sea-
board exhibit but little dminuition of strength,
but the men i'll the mountains are truc and
faithful to sound principles. We hope that
every Southern state that is yet to hold an
election will remember that i: is the determi-
nation OF the Wings to fasten upon the De-
mocrats the Infamous Wilmot provso, that
they go into the fight under that banner, and
eVory Southern manin favor of the rights and
interests OF the South we hope and trust will
be up and doing, will stand by their homes
and their institutions, their families and their
flresldes. Let the South only be UNITED
and we have no fear as to the result; the bat
tie is TO be fought at the ballot-box, and VIC
tory ovet political fanatics and intriguing po
llt!clans in the next Congress will satisfy
the Administration that the South must be
let alone and undetermined to stand up for her
rights. "ln union there is strength" and if
the South is anxious to put an end to the
unwarrantable interference of the North in
our domestic institutions, the only sure way
is to unite at the ballot-box and put down alb
clifton in its worst features by the election of
sound and true men. AS this policy is urg-
ed by every patriotic consideration there
should he no hesitancy, no holding back in
these contests. The save--states which are
yet to hold elections will determine the char
acter OF the next Congress, and the plans of
the Cabinet in carrying out measures which
strike at the best interests of the country, as
well as the safety Of the South, will be
promptly checked. AS yet, it is not known
whether the President is to follow his Cabin
et' or the Cabinet 10 to follow him, there is
mysterious silence upon this subject IF
General Taylor has the decision of WASH
1NGToN, and the frmness of JACKSON, HE
will be President. But our course is on
ward-our BANNER is"Union ofthe Souut"-
to preserve the union of the States.

The Canada Outbreak.

For some time past, the English par
ty in Canada, Owe say English party in
contradlstinction to the French has
been restless and uneasy, at the pros
pect Of the passage of bill through
the Provincial Parliament remuncratinp
the revolutionists for their losses in the
ate rebellion; and what stamped the
the measure with the blackest ingrati-
tudc, taxing the loyal inhabitants to
pay the losses of the disloyal and un-
faithful. 1t was no doubt a ministerial
measure to corciliatc the French party,
and had the ministers charged the
crown with the cost of this concession.
it would then have been offering a pre-
MUM for rebellion; but to lay the bur-
den on loyal subjects, who put down
the rebellion, it was an act of such cry
ing injustice that history has no parallel
to it. The bill, however, passed: Lord
Elgin, the Governor General, signed it,
and the Tory party rose against Tory
government, fired the Parliament house.
and committed many outragcs. We
do not believe that anything serious
will grow out of this incendiary step.
because the French will not move in
the matter, the bill being for their bene-
TT; and the English party, having no
cause for complaint but this to mako
against their Government, will stop
here. One singular fact was develop
ed in this out-break-not q word was
said in favor of annexation with this
country:-our Northern friends were
excited with the hope of adding a cou-
pie OF Northern states to tho Union To
secure the balance of power, but the
French party said not word on the
subject, and the Tory party have never
been in favor of it, so that their hone
is, tor the present cxtinguishcd. Eng
land may part with some of her colo
MES, but will not permit Canada to be
sepcrated-tho province begins to be
important and valuable. There is still
somo doubts whether Lord Elgin will
DO recallcd-we do not see any neccs-
slty for such action by the general
government. He is a man of much
energy, but may have been oyerruled
in this matter.

No Union.

1t was predicted that the Democracy
and the "Free-Soilers" at the North
would finally unite against the new ad-
ministration and, when prescription has
done its work, the disappointed would
be fierce for resistance, but We observe
in the New York free-soil papers di.
rect avowal that no union can take place
without recognizing the "Free-soil'' doc
trine. This has been answered, we are
gratihed to observe, by an indignant
declaration that under no circumstances
will that corrupt, disunion doctrine be
recognised By the true, pure Democra-
cy of the State. A perfect union of
the Democracy can carry that State at
the fall election, but, unless the ficti-
tious question of free-soil is surrender
ed, the Wings will maintain the supre-
macy they now hold and we trust that
the friends of union and constitutional
rights will remain firm and hold no in
tercourso with traitors in disguise of
friends. The South has ever had at
the North band of honest citizens.
faithful to the Constitution and its COM
promises-if they stand their ground
they are invincible.
FIREs.--The torch of the incendiarv
has been busy in Charleston during the
last week. Three distinct attempts
were made to FIRE buildings on the
Neck, one of which was successful.
On Wednesday morning some eight or
ten shanties together with the premises
of Mr.. Cochran on King street were
destroyed. The attempts are rendered
more dastardly in consequence of the
very small supply of fwater now in the
city.
oolc1DE.--Mr. Vergnol, the Vice
Consul of France to Charleston, COM
mitted suicide last Wednesday morning
at his office in Broad street while labor
ing under mental depression. He il
represented to have been very intelli-
gent man although inclined to favor
atheism.
