I hobblins Times made desperate efforts 10 climb,

that The Republican has shown very keen scent
Tor "majorites" and has again, but 100 late,
whipped in the Times.
But what will The spry National Wing now
saw That minor organ OF Taylorism thruS, il
self INTO our District canvass, and in lis "otfcia'
character announced that "ths administration

Mr. Bolts is beaten, 'ihe administration" is beat
en- and Mr. Seldom trumphanty elected. Gen.
| Taylor should strip that paper Of It's "ofticlal"
honors, for having thus s,aked The success OF
Taylorism on Mr.. Bous!
Some lew OF the Democrats were induced 10
vote for Mr.. Bots for peculiar reasons. We
cannot doubt that they are now SICK OF heir bar
gain and are ready 10 return beneath their old
flag, which, in fair fight, is never struck down.
THE LONE STAR"
One of The most pleasing incidents OF the late
canvass is the ovefu helmlng defeat, by about
600, Of Mr.. ] S. Pendleton. He was 'the head
ant front" OF Taylorism in Virginia-yet him
sell and MIR. Bous, The great antagonist OF Tay-
lor, are swept Gown by the same wave. We be-
lieve that The course Of Penr'slon and The seven
other Southern Wings, in killing the Compromise
and keeping The slavery agitation al We was The
only thing that elected Gen. Taylor But now
the cay OF reIIburicu has come and The slalwarl
champion Of Taylor, and iairhless representative
oil he Suulh, is laid lo~ in a Wing District OF
1900 majority.
Mr. Morton, his successful competitor, has been
true 10 Virginia aud the South While Pence-
ton admits The consiru,ionalily OF he Wilmo'
Pfnviso, Morton in his published address saws:
In relation 10 he Wlmo PrCyiso, | am oppo-

stnniiondL unjust, oppressive insulins 10 he
SCUM. Wherever Vmginla may place herself,
expect 10 slahd, not among her aoesl but her lru-
esi sons"
And friend OF Morton. in the Alexandria Ga.
ze,;s writes:

dleton vote against the Compromise Bill which

On The other kan1 "An Old Wing" in the
NE paper, and TREND Of Peniicon writes:

Does not all this prove tina. the defeat Of

As we write, we cannot positively say whether
