UNION TRIUMPH. If Wing papers can be.credited,
the election of Caskie, is death-bow to the mon.
necessarily did they assert that the issue involved in
the Metropolitan District, was the perpetuity or the
dissolution of the Union, and that the defeat of Bolts
would be the triumph of Secession. Well, Bolts IS
de feated, routed, utterly overwhelmed. Hence, &C
cording TO Federal papers, the Union is in imminent
jeopardy. Truly is ii amusing in the extreme to
hear these self constituted guardians of the coned-
eracy boast of their devotion to the Union and their
ability to save il from locofoco destruction. With
but four Wing Governors in an insignificant minor
ty in Congress, composing not more than one tenth
of the people of the country these grandioquent pol
ticans have yet assumed themselves the exclusive
responsibility of protecting the Union. The Wing
party headed by John Minor Bolts calamity proppfng
up the crumbing foundations of the Union, is the
funniest and ridiculous suggestion of the times
The truth is the election of John s. Caskie IS the
most signal victory yet achieved IN the cause OF the
Union. He planted himself upon the Constitution,
and thence discharged the thunders of his eoquence
against federalism consolidation abolition and their
rank representative, John Minor Bolts. Caskie con-
tended for the independence of the South, the rights
of the States and the trne integrity Of the Union
Bolts bated with Johnston Of Pennsylvania, for the
destruction of the Constitution, the humiliation OF
the sovereignty of the States, the subugation OF the
South, and the unchecked sway of rampant ree-sols
ism. The gallant Caskie gorously sustained by the
Democracy, achieved triumph for the South, for
the Constitution and for the Union. Bolts, the
clustering demagogue, the champion OF Wilmot
provisoism-the John P. Hale of the South-was in
dgnanty scorned and rejected by the people, ana ne
and his abolition associates rebuked by crushing
defeat. Yesterday John Minor Bolts made his exit
from the arena of politics. For years past he has
been the butt of the ring, cuffed and kicked
with ECU al energy by friend and by foe. He has re-
ceived his quietus at last. He will be dropped now
by his party, like thing tainted He will sink into
obscurity, and henceforih, his name will be found
ehronicled only in the register Of the turf:
"Unwept, unhonored and unsung"
How different the prospective of John S. Cas-
kie! With talents infinitely beyond the cunning of
the political gamester, and with a weight of eharac
ter, which mere adventurer dare pretend to.
his brilliant and unsullied will reflect equal
honor upon his native State and upon his own extra
ordinary abilities. In Congress, he will be no less
than eloquent, and no less eloquent than the most
gifted, in the defence of the Union, the sovereignty
Of Virginia, and the dignity and the rights of the
South. Petersburg Democrat.

Who are the friends of the Union !
Reeisker.


Not those who ally themselves, for party purposes.
with the Abolition Wings of Massachusetts and Yer
mont; not those who perceive good results
for the Union in the election of Bgler the infa
nous Abolitionist, Johnston, Of Pennsylvania not
those who, protesting to regard the fugitve-save
law the bond of the Union. yet support for Office
such Wings as Vinton and Winthrop, who voted a
gainst it, and the same time hush up and conceal
as far they able, the Abolition doctrines of the
Wing Governor of Vermont; not those who approve
and laud Henry Clay's recent consolidation letter !;
not those who, protesting regard the compromise'
as final settlement of the Slavery question, still per-
sist in agitating the question for party effect and in
attrbnting positions and sentiments their political
opponents which they never occupied maintained.
The true friends of the Union those who go for
the Constitution in its purity-who would have it
construed strictly and administered impatiay,
was by those illustrious patriots Jefferson, Madison,
Jackson, and Polk-who advocate the rights of the
States and the rights of the United Staies-and who,
scorning and spurnng all alliances with Abolitoniss
and Freesoers, content to go before the people
on the merits of their doctrines and principles and
are willing to p defeated rather than Paader to ss
or desert the good old Republican r..atform.
The Editors of the Register friends of the !"
Wing party. Their eyes are fixed upon "the spos -;
and the Union is in danger with them only SO long
as their ascendency party is threatened Give
them, with their party friends, lease of the Off
ces and patronage of the Federal Government for
about ten years, and you would hear but little from
them, during that period, about the Union of the
States. Save the Wing party, and, in their judg-
ment, you save the Union.

Whigism, as expounded by the leaders. is in bad
way about this time. 1t has been disgruntled in
Ohio, gloriously defeated in Pennsylvania, and
swamped in Virginia. Its latest and most decided

How long will it take the Wing leaders to save
the Union with but four Governors out of the thir-
ty-one, and with decided minorties in both Houses
of Congress?

The above is specimen of the fairness with which

OUR VILLAGE SCHOOLS.

IT gives us great pleasure to state that our Viii
lage has now bright prospect of becoming, again,
the hourishing seat of female education. Ono of
our Schools has just opened with the unusual
number of fifty pupils. The other, We arc told,
will begin to-day, with between thirty and forty.
We are of opinion that both of them will do c1-
ccllently WELL And in q short time, we expcc: to
see more than an hundred neat little maidcns hur-
rying here and there TO their different schools.
Fair competition is said to be the life of every
business. We conceive it to be especially so with
the occupation Of q teacher. 1t is an oncrous,
pcrpleSing and trcsome pursuit-a ding-dong,
monotonous employment to which most persons
are apt to become more less Indifferent, unless
there be near at hand some sufficient incentive
Generous emulation supplies this desideratum more
effectualy than any thing else. 1t will supersede
the necessity Of trustees and supervisors being OF
itself an ever-wakcful, cver-watchful principle.
Let our citizens encourage proper spirit of this
kind-and our town will soon be enlivencd by the
emery hearts and laughing eyes, of our. spright-
ly Edgefcld girls.
