A DROP OF COMFORT.

A Washington correspondent, OF the Baltimore
Sun writes:
al, is not probable that the Wing Admins
,ralion Las gained anything by The Virginia cleo
tion-and il has no doubt lost some support. But
the loss will be gain TO General Taylor and his
Cabinet in one respecl-il will lessen The claims
OF Virginia politicians TO Office, and reduce the
pressure from that quarter"
This negative consolation 10 the beaten Tay-
loriles is like extracting sunbeams from cucum-
bers. With all the pres,iee OF newly elected
President. native OF Virsinia-with high Ca
binet office given to Virginian-it is, indeed,
too bad for the terrible Locofucos 10 carry the
Stale, "horse, foot and dragcons"-but it is still
worse that their misfortune should damage their
claims" and cu them tff from 'the spoiis."-

THE LOST STAR

Many Wings will rejoice with US, we feel sat-
i'6ed, on the signal defeat of The arch in;riguer
and trickster, John S. pendeion. For his de-
seriion oil The South, he has been scorchingly re.
bukei by his people, and 20 faiIhless public ser
want ever more deserved such relribution. We
understand, that in speech made al precinct
in Loudoun, before the election, Mr.. P avowed
that he had opposed The Clayton compromise, SO
as To keep The slavery question open, and by lis
agitation aid in the election oil Gen. Taylor; as
il surely did. What punishment is loo severe
FOR SO selfish and reckless an 'asita,or3" We
Shall now see, il Gen. Taylor has SO high re-
gard Tor the popular will" as 10 ,eward with Of
fee man who is thus repudiated by his own
people. To show how Mr.. Ps offensive course
is appreciated by the people OF Virginia, ncud-
ing many Wings, We annex the comments CT
he Fredericksburg News, rabd Taylor organ,
AMI a devoted personal admirer OF Mr.. P. Il is
more "salty" Than any thing we could say:
at is a matter worthy OF speculation how in a
District with 1900 Wing majority, that The regu.
lar nominee OF The party (wilh The high quai6-
cations, he is generally conceded 10 pu.sess)
should thus De 30 ingoriously cetpaied. There
is but one cause. Mr.. Pend has not only
advocated The conslituliunality OF the Wilmot
Proyiso, but advocated il We are informed, in a
most offensive manner. Upon all occasions, and
under all circumstances he has STOOD forth boldly,
and 10 say the least most ind scrccily, The defender
Of the consltu,ionaiity of this hateful this damn
able heresy He deserved 10 be beaten. John
S. Pendlcton has not in this Stale more enthu-
siaslic admirer Of his brilliant talents than we
are We believe him inferior TO few-very few
men in this Commonwealth in all the inlelIec
tual essentials OF great man. We know Their
are some Of his own, and many of the oppost
party, VINO would sneer at such declaration.
They believe him eloquent, moi profound, snowy,
but shallow. In this we diler. He has not the
power OF abofious investigation that some have
mot that profound research which is necessary
10 high dslinc,ion-but he has genius which
iumines every subject IT touches, aud touches
nothing il does mol ACORN Bur, with our high
admiration Of the man, we could not nave Vo'ed
for him. In the early part OF the canvass We
invoked Wing support, but We dId not then
know his views on these obnoxious questions. -
We know him 10 be a sterling Wing, and The
nominee of the party personally we preferred
him 10 any man in The Distrlct--for these Iea-
sons we desired his election. But The man who,
directly or Indirectly takes position upon The
slavery question lin any OF its phases) adverse 10
the Soulh, could not (thungh he were iather)
command our vote for The humblest Office in the
Gil, OF the people. For this reason Mr.. Pendle.
