ALL HAIL vlRcIMA!-The democrats of Virginia have
discharged their whole duty the country As far heard
FROM the wings lose four members of Congress Ii the
me as 10 Vet 10
Maryland Delaware Rhode Island, Massachusetts, North
diana, Missouri, and Ken,ueky-und we think they will
make aggregate gain Of at least that namberthe wings
General Taylor sedeprived OF the veto, will be useln
only signing hills passed by demo ratio maorities We
shall be all surprised, either, if the democrats gain
enough in the coming elections be strong enough in the
House of Representatives to carry their measures against
These the conquests, let not be forgotten, OF the
bankrupt and destroyed'orn by dssenslons and weak
because deprived OF patronage SO powerful is this
syvania other States had yet to be held, the admins
ration Of General Taylor would hardly have corporas
guard its deceptons or to defend its inconsistent

wings and crows" in the following exuting and buoyan
article
The PEOPLE HAVE spoKEN.-The election which has Just

been long enough in Congress, and we hope they may
never again be elected

ture, is also killed Glory enough for day! His
cou the legislature caused the abolitonsts of the
North rejoice and to laud him the skies. His
speech and resolutions have proven mill

themselves themselves Mr. SCOTS defeat is still
more pregnant with meaning He is of splendid
Abilities the tales of the whg leaders, and he
has been ebuked by his constituents taking sides it'll
