"MOvEMENTs OF THE wHIGs."

Under this head the last Virginia Repub
lican" says--"But it now turns out that the
'no-party- party who would eschew political
excitement but for the movements of their ad-
versaries, had secretly appointed State
Wing Central Committee in advance of the
Democrats. who openly published their pro-
cecdings to the world" Now it seemS the
facts in the case do not warrant any such as
scrtion. The facts are these, as given by
the Richmond Times:
"On the evening of the LIST of August the
day the Convention adjourned, and losg af-
ter the Democratic organisation had been
announced, some of the Wing members had
an informal consultation (of which, we have
stated, we never heard until we saw Mr.. Ly-
ons' notc) and they agreed that it would be
well for the Wing party to have State Con-
vention at Stanton, and that the Central
Committee appointed by the last general
Convention of the party, that of 1913 ought
to fix the day of its meeting"
At this meeting there was no regular Or
ganzation, and no appointments of any com
mittees whatever The Central Committee
of lS4S was recommended to act for the pre-
sent, and do what was thought proper to be
done Accordingly, Mr.. Lyons, Chairman of
that Committee, called meeting and pub
lishcd can Address to the Wings of Virgin
ia" which will be found in this morning
paper.

T. f. MARSHALL TURNED WING.

The celebrated Thomas f Marshall has
Just been elected member Of the Kentucky
Legislature, as an Independent candidate =
On the night after the election, he made a
speech, renouncing all connexion with the
Democratic party, and declaring himself for
the future Wing. The Frankfort Com
monwealth furnishes brief sketch of his
speech, as follows
He said be wished to make an account
current with the Democratic party. He ac-
knowlcdgcd that he owed his election to them,
and be set himself down as debter for that.
But he had supported Mr. Polk, and other
wise done the party some service; for that he
claimed credit and called upon the Demo-
Gratis present to say on which side the balance
stood. Some of them cried out "Oh, we're
indebted to you" "Well" said Marshall,
II forgive you the balance, square the ac-
counts, close the books, and from henceforth
| am Wing forever

about mile from the town, by about hundred
citizens from the town and county with the Mayor
Of Staunton at their head and escorted 50 the Vir-
ginia Hotel, where extensive preparation Had been
made TO receive them.
Judge Lucas P. Thompson, on behalf Of the citi-
zens, welcomed the President in an appropriate adj
dress Mr. Fillmore replied in dignifed and
graceful manner. and concluded as follows:

Mr.. Stuart was then called on, and delivered
an address marked with much feeling and
cloquence." He called Virginia the Flag Ship

South would follow. lie hoped she would contin-

ARISTOCRACY.

When the French Gen Fey was once en-.
tering, with much fervcr, into political dis
cussion in the Chamber of Deputies, aud had
just pronounced the word A,istocracy, loud
voice from the Ministerial side sternly demand
ded its meaning. "AriStocracy," answered
he at once calmly, ".aristocracy in the 10Th
century, is the league, coalition ofthose who
wish to consume without producing (; to live
without working; to occupy oil public
places, without being competent to fill them,
to seize upon all honors without meriting
them. That is aristocracy."

We learn from the New York Herald that

Mexico served with great distinction at the
battles of Montery and Buena Vista, under
General Taylor, with the Mississippi regi.

New Orleans, Who was surgeon in the Brit
ish army during the battle Of New Orleans
and had served in the late war with Mexico
Among those who were shot was Capt
7. Il, Veazey, leaving the painful impress
sion here that it may be Thomas b. Veazey,
Esq, brother of Gcorge Ross Veazey, ESQ,

H1y@1t has become manifest that most
important change is about to take place in
tie government of Virginia The sentiment
is almost universal both East and West
that the new Constitution will be adopted
The full effects of this change which has been
justly termed "a revolution in the entire
system of 'Ssate affairs" remain to be SEEN
The vast accession to the present number of
voters, will probably change the relative pos
sition Of the two great political parties of the
State. 1t is not by any means certain that
the influence, and votes of this immense
array of citizens, hitherto disfrancLiscd, will
be given in support of that party which has
so long held dominion in Virginia, and with
held from them their just rights and egiti-
mate prerogativcs of frccmen. Long and
sorsly has Virginia felt the power of Demo.
cratic rule,-thc time for thorough, radical
change is at hand, and the belief is well foun-
dcd that the people, at tie election which will
necessarily ensae upon the adoption of the
new Constitution, will put their seal of rep
rotation upon ":hc powers that be-" and put
upon them an indeliablc stamp, 'tried and
found naming"
Every prospect now conspircs to inspire
tho Wings Of Virginia with the brightest
hopes Of success. Action. prompt and vigo-
rous-indiUidual and UNITED action. is alfl
that is wanted to secure complete triumph
Let the Wings consider well the responsible
tiles which they must soon assume, either of
signal and triumphant victory, or an inglo-
rious defeat.
The Democrats are wide awake, sensible
of their danger, they are straining every
nerve--the tocsin has been sounded the
alarm has. reached the remotest borders of
the State--thc watch fires have been lighted
the guards have been mounted--and every
preparation made for vigorous onset. Let
the Wings of the STArE-let the Wings of
BERKELEY promptly initiate the activity and
industry of their opponents, and all is safe
then will Virginia stand forth redeemd, re-
generated disenthralled, and again assume
her proper position, high nong the richest
aud most prosperous of her sister States.

We are happy. says the Richmond Times,
to publish this timely and appropriate Adj
dress, as the first defnatc movement towards
an organization of the Wing party Of the
State, to countcraet and defeat the organiza-
ton which our Democratic opponents we're
prompt to set on foot
It will be perceived that the Central Com
mittee have fixed Thursday, the 18th of Sep
TENDER, as the day and Stanton as the place,
for the State Convention to meet. An car
licr day than the LIST Of October was consid
cred expcdient, for the reason, that the vari
Gus Courts held early in October would pre-
vent many from, attending the Convention as
delegates, If it should assemble about that
time
We hope there viii be a general concur
renee in the recommendation Of the Commit
tee. and that Wbig meetings will be held at
all the County Courts, to appoint delegates.

Of delegates, thus declare their sentiments in
regard to the conduct Of our admirable Pres
ident The Wing party of Virginia have
peculiar reason to be proud Of the manner in
which Mr.. Fillmore has fulfilled their pre-
dictions and expectations concerning him
In the great canvass Of 1913, he was held up
before the people in every forbidding aspect
which Democratic imagination could invent
He was denounced through the land as a
ranting Abolitionst, and Democratic orators
thought they could make no stronger appeal
to Virginia prejudices, than to warn their
audiences that, ifthc Wing party should pre-
vail, there would be only one life bet,ceen
the Presidency and Willard Fillmore p
But the Wings had the good sense to trust
their own judgement. rather than these dis
tortcd representations. They took Mr. Fill
more as the worthy associate of Gen. Taylor,
and, though he was Northern man, they
accepted him as a patriot. They did not
prevail so far as to give him the electoral vote
of the State. but their efforts shook terribly
the strength of the Democratic majority, so
that it was long doubtful how the State had
really gone. The single life, that lay between
Mr.. Fillmore and the Presidency, was, more
than year ago, actually removed, according
to the sinister forebodings of the Democratic
augurs of 1913. But what followed? Was
it, as those sootbsayers foretold the dark
sway Of Abolitionism? On the contrary, is
not the fact undeniable, that Willard Fillmore,
from the day he took the oath of his high Of

disarmed all generous opponents

JAMES LYONS, Chairman.

HEy@The administration of Mr. Fillmore,
though in its era is in troublous times, has
yet been conducted with so much calmness,
discretion, and moderation, that, we verify
believe, its opponents have entire reliance on
its wisdom and full belief that its public
duty will be performed honestly. Its polit-
zeal principles, of course they cannot be cx-
pccted to approve but its constitutional OBJ
legations they must be satisfied, will be full
filed in spirit of justice and devotion to the
interests, honor, and union of the States
1t is fortunate for the nation, that in the
circumstances in which the country is now
placed, we have prudent and reliable Chief
Magistrate at the head of affa,rs-a safe and
sound mana man without ambitious views
or Professionalism man whose character
for integrity and good sense, is admitted on
all hands. Mr. Fillmore is distinguished for
these qualities. 1t is his pride to be con-
stitutional president, faithful executor of
the lars, and true administrator of such
public matters as may b, properly placed
under his control and management He has
no wish to usurp authority, to increase his
power, or to act for the future political ad-
vancement, either of himself or others. Act
ing upon these principles, whatever may be
the issue of party strifes, it is impossible
that be should fail, in the end, to receive as
he merits, the appreciation of the American
people. Aleaandria Gazette.
