Her blood curdhng with horror, Barbara found

The LATE ELECTIONS in Virginia show an in
creased majoritNfUr the democracy. The En-
quirer says this is attributable TO the vac lila
ting course Of wing journals on The subject Of
the Nashvill e convention. We have always
believed that the party in each State that took
the strongest ground on the Southern question
would be most su ccesslul before the people,
and we hope this may be the case in every
State. in Missouri, owing to the influence of
Mr.. Benton, the democracy are very fshy on
that question; and If the wings in that State
are more sO&ad, we hope they will succeed.
This question, with US, is the paramount one.
IT'S not 70: US to make any suggestions to
our whig friends, but weare strongly impressed
with the opinion Tint the whig party will sink
irretrievably, never to rise again in this State,
unless they take prompt and early measures to
fipOrce themselves from the whig press. We
till believe that the masses Of that party do
not concur in sentiment with its journals. If,
however, they continue to give forth to the
world their sentiments as the doctrines Of the
the wings may hereafter find them
like a milestone around their necks.
