: And afterwards, to wit, on the 18th Februorv

Proviso and kindred subjects, of which the frs,

sembly Of Virginia, That upon the questions
thus perseveringly and recklessIy forced upon
the country, Virginia has taken her position, and
mat position wH be maintained Her loyalty to
the Union is no matter of empty profession
is stamped upon every page of her history. No
State has done as much to form the Union !;
none Is prepared to do more to perpetnate it, in
the spirit in which it was formed, and in which
alone it can be preserved. But, loyal as she is,
and always has been, it were fatal error to sup
pose that Virginia ioiH erer consent that hat
Union To which she has lnoked as a source of hap
ptness and honor, shall be concerted into an in
strumera Of degradation and oppression"
Now, it would be difficult to find language
more precise emphatic, and conclusive than what
has thus been spoken by Virginia, in the most
solemn, official and authoritative manner.
We published yesterday, the repeated, uni
form, and official declarations of New York, on
the opposite side of this question. We have
seen that majority Of the dominant party in
that State recently, by a vote Of two to one, re-
affirmed her position. And we know that about
one-half of the Democratic party in that State
is decidedly of the same opinion. So that there
is moral certainty that her next Legislature
will, on this question, sustain its predecessors.
Now, no State has higher reputation for con-
sistency and firmness than Virgn,: few are so
fluetuating aud Facilitating as New York. We
therefore do not believe that on question that
affects the honor, the rights, the equality, and tho
safety of Virginia, she will be found less con-
sistent, firm and decided than New York, which
is so slightly concerned in it. ~.... ,.1
We MAJ add, that from recent conversations
with intelligent citizens from different plrts of
Virginia, East and West, we are authorized to
believe that she will stand steadfistly by her
rights, her honor, and her ,rord and by the faith
she has SO solemnly and repeatedly pedgedto her
sister Southern States

The Albany State Register, the seeding Wing
organ, says: Pol" 49,. ''"
"The result of the Ohio Election is full Of
instruction for the Wings of New Y0rk.---There
the Free-soi hobby has been ridden by the
Wings to the full extent, with the hope of
ginning back those who have gone nfter Adolf
tionism." o. '''E .s' 3d.
The New York Express, another organ of
the same sect, says: ..2i .,..,'' '.s.,.
"The Wing Party in Ohio has been ruined by
being Abolitionized. A powerful Wing State
in the main has been converted, and turned over
to Locofocoism, because the Wings there chose
to fall in the wake of Giddings Root, and the
!ike,-and to mount the Abolition hobby, where
thousands upon thousands Of true Wings would
never 20. The Wing candidate for governor, in
the rec mt election, mounted the platform the
Syracuseans would lay down for us in this
woody headed Abolitionists would demagogue
more, and the consequence was, that while
thicker lips and woolIier heads ran off another
Abolition candidate, scores and scores Of Wings
preferred the temporary triumph Of the Demo
cracy to any triumph of negrodom. The Wing
party revolt from Abolitionisln and Abolition
candidates.
The New York Evening Pest says:
That aboltionisni, the Express calls oppo-
sition to slavery, had no effect in Withdrawing
the affections Of the people from certain cardl-
lates that on the other hand it aided their popu-
arity, is shown by the fact, that men, who in
the last Congress were distinguished FOR most
extreme opiaioEs, such men as Giddings and
Thaddeus Stevens, are returned almost without
opposition. Even i'm New Hampshire, which
h s not known how to elect Wing, in many
years, to any considerable station, il about to
send Perkins, from the third District, to Con-
,ress, simply because he is mora ola Free-soiler
han his Democratic competitor.
We believe that, all over the Northern States,
md particularly in this State, the effect will be
the same. For the masses of the people, out of
the large cities, arc thoroughly opposed to the
.xtenson Of slavery, and no organizations of
party, and no manGvres Of the federal admins
tration, will be able to get that notion out Of
their heads.

In the Legislature, the Free-soers will have
the balance of power-as they did when Mr.
CHASE was elected to the Senate from that
State.
So much for the success Of the Compromise
in killing off Fie '-soilism. .i
