Glorious Triumph i'm Virginia.

Glorious Triumph i'm Virginia.
The people of Virginia voted on Thursday last fol
members of Congress, and for and against the new
Constitution The result is glorious triumph fol
the cause of Republicanism and the Constitution
one of those old-fashioned trumphs, which one had
right to expect from Virginia. whose people are
as true now as they in the days of Jefferson and
Madison to the rights of the States and the Unior
of the States. f~
The Enquirer of the 25th says: =" AS far as we
have heard, we are also satisfied of the election o.
Messrs. Millson, Bocock, Thompson and Powell
and of Messrs. Bayly, Meade, Holiday. Edmund
son, McMullen, and Letcher, to whom there is nc
opposition. We have thus secured eleven out of the
fifteen members from Virginia. If the wing papers
be correct in their theory there is awful amount OF
:. disunonism'' in Virginia. They themselves mus,
see in what ridiculous attitude they have placed
themselves
That paper adds, we have confident hopes OF
carrying oil the other four but the LoHdon District,
although we do not exactly understand the position
of affairs in the Kanawha District
But fellow-ctzens, readers, " friends, countrymen
and lovers' the best thing remains to be toldBofts
has been beaLen! The Enquirer thus announces the
fact
"GLoRIoUs VICTORY. 1t is with feelings of Pc
election Of John S. Caskie 10 the Congress of
the United States over John M. Bolts. Though we
have not yet heard from the whole district the
published below tell tale which cannot be mstak-

heartily to our appeal of Tuesday, and, in her MAORI

now gives to Caskie majority of at least sixty
seventy, and to Haxal, our county candidate, be-
tween seventy and eighty majority. The polls are
kept open at the court house-et friends to it
that she " take step backwards" Old Hanover,
SO far as heard FROM has done WE'LL and has doubtless
given least seventy6ve majority to Caskie. Louisa
and Goochland (always strongly democratic,) and
Powhatan, where we expect a majority, are yet to
hear from. The result may, therefore, be set down
certain that we have gained an unprecedented vic
tory.
At the close of the polls, Mr.. Caskie appeared be-
fore the large crowd in attendance, and addressed
them briefly, but modesty and touchingly, from the
stepts of the courthouse. He thanked them for the
hattering confidence they had reposed in him. He
said he felt no unkindness towards the bulk of the
whig party that had cast their votes against him
and he closed by remarkng that, should he be sent
to Congress, he should faithfully practise upon the
motto which he had held through the canvass-the
motto of " The Constitution of he United States-fhe
Union Of the States-and the Rights gfthe States"
Mr. Bolts called for by his friends but did not
appear.
For the last few days Git being too late to appeal
to other distrcts) have concentrated attention
upon this, the metropolitan district 1t was with us
labor of love-love for the man. for his principles,
far his devotion the rights of the States and to the
Union. We have freely scanned public men and
measures, but have foreborne, always do, from
personalities. The result of yesterday richly rewards
US for the cordial labor we have bestowed. We re-
joice in the success of our noble candidate, is
triumph of the sacred principles of the constitution
and the permanent safety ofthe Union the most
consolidation doctrines, which, If carried
into practice must surely and speedily bring about
disunion. In Mr.. Caskie we love the friend and the
man; but still more admire the bodness, frank
ness, frmness, dignity, and lofty bearing with which
he avowed his PrinciPles-met every issue-shrank
from no duty
The Examiner says Bolts was called for, and after
awful pause Bolts not appearing, it was duly pro-
claimed, " Bolts has absquatuLated"! Botts-John
Minor Botts-the I" immortal " Botts-the Stanly
of Virginia-the IS head him die" Botts-the Bolts,
has been steam-tugged, defeated, used up, exter-
minated Bolts falls, and the pillars of the Union
where are they Just where they were-it was only
Bolts that dssolved-the Union is strong-aye, !
stronger than Bolts policy and views would des-
troy it, but Caskies will it. From all accounts.
Caskie is glorious fellow. He is one OF the SPAR
tan Band" Of Richmond, and we expect to see him |
take, at once high position in the House. Any |
District in the United States might we'll be Prond of
having in succession, such Representatives as Sed-
don and Caskie.
The people of Virginia have accepted their new
Constitution by immense majority. On the 9th |
Of December next another election will be held when
a Governor, Lieutenant Governor Attorney Cen /
erai, and members of Assembly will be chosen.
