Of Richmond, and Mr.. WISE of Accomac, on
the question of adjournment Of the Con vention.
THE NEW YORK ELECTION
Has resulted in the choice of WASHINGTON
HUNT, (Whig) as Governor, an opponent of the
Fugitive Slave Bill and a supporter of the
"higher law" avowed by the traitor SEWARD.
If Southern Wings can RE- oice at The result, let
them do so. Of the "a Congressman, elected
IS are Wings, IA Democrats, and Free Soiler,
Democratic gain Of only IA there being in
the present Congress from this State 33 Wings,
l Democrat and Free Soiler.
NEW JERSEY-An election was held in this
Stale on Tuesday last, for Governor, members of
Congress and the Legislature. From the re-
turns, the Democrats have swept the State, e.
lecting their Governor by majority Of 1880,
four members Of Congress and producing a tie
for the fifth. They have also carried the Legs-
lature, which secures a Democratic u. S. Sena-
Tor, in place of Mr.. Dayton (Whig.) No Won
der the Wings want to e.organiZe. From
Michigan and Wisconsin, which voted on the
same day, we have nothing definite, though par
tial returns say, the Democrats have lost two
members of Congress in the former State.
In several of the papers we see q disposition
to favor the election Of Gov. James Mcdowell
10 the U. S. Senate in place OF the Hon. James
nj. Mason the present incumbent. We trust
the good sense of the democratic members of the
Legislature, will lead them to do no such thing.
The democratic party should keep united, as all
attempt to oslracise Mr.. Mason on account OF
his fervent zeal in defence of the South will do
us more harm than good the wings no doubt,
will be ready to vote for any democrat against
Mr.. Mason, because by SO doing, they wish to
profit by our dssensions. This is no time for
Southern democrats to be creating dissensions !;
they ought TO be united to prevent aud resist
northern aggressions.- Charlottesville Jeff.
" In relation to this matter we may be per-
mtted TO remark to our Democratic brethren,
that there is disposition on the part of the
Wings to support Mr.. MCDOWELL for u States
Senator, not that they love the man, but because
they hope 10 widen the breach in the Democrat
ic ranks The wings now say their party stand
united upon the Constitution and the Union
though any one who sees Northern paper
knows this is not the fact-while, they say, on
the Compromise Bills, that the Democratic par
ty is DISSOLVED 1t i'll becomes the whig party to
chide the Democrats-for the very state Of
things which now exist-that party is response
BILE. The refusal on the part OF Southern wings
to support the Clayton compromise, which
would have settled the question:, but defeated
Gen. Taylor, shews that their love for power
was greater than their love for the Union.-
hon tbn, har 10 abO
their ertra attachment to the Union, let them be
told of this. We hope the Democrats will not
submit TO the taunt of the Wings and commence
a war among themselves because Senator MA
SON voted in obedience TO the instructions OF his
Legislature-whose creature he is, and by whom
alone a Senator can be instructed--and thus per-
nit the wings to profit 10y their dissensions We
do not approve the vote OF Senator Mason, bu'
as Virginia Senator, with the instructions OF
his Legislature reiterated in his ears, we cannot
see how he could have acted otherwise. When
BENJAMIN WATKINS LEIGH, a few years ago, re-
fused TO obey the instructions OF his Legislature,
the Indignation of the Democratic party knew
no bounds, yet the course of Watkins Leigh was
approved by the whigs--and now, strange to
1ell, dIC ~ UC WllllIl3 W CGHsuTe
Mr.. MASON for doing that which they condemn
ned Mr.. LEIGH for not doing. Principles never
change. We hope the good sense of the De-
mocracy will cause better counsels to prevail.
Again, we have heard it minated that, in An
gusta, the wings are DESTROYS of recognizing
and forming new party, and this may be the
reason why they are SO willing to cry out Disun-
ion in order tina, they may entrap unwary demo
Gratis, and lrghen them with the name of Dis
unionists, il they do not chime in with every
sentiment that may be uttered by wing leaders
Democrats, beware This is no time to quarrel
among ourselves; Danish discord, and stand by
your time houored flag. We all love the Union,
but the North must be made 10 respect the
least, ca st what ii may-yet let us all ocquicStea
