Yirginia-A Lesson.

The State Of VIRGINIA has recently held
her first Election for State Officers under her
Reformed Constitution, which has greatly en-
larged the number of her voters by extending
the Right of Suffrage TO nearly every white male
adult citizen.
The Wings OF Virginia, though almost uni
fomly beaten in former Elections, went into
this contest with considerable hopes of success.
The Wing National Administration has certainly
deserved Southern popularity if no other; and
1t was reasonably calculated that Virginia would
seize the opportunity to express her confidence
in Messrs. Fillmore, Webster, and their asso-
ciates in the Cabinet including her own Stuart.
Then the Wing candidate for Governor. George
w Summers. is decidedly and manifestly the
intellectual superior of his competitor, Joseph
Johnson, and had powerfully aided IN the Con-
vention 10 secure the triumph of the Yves, in
the apportionuent Of Representatives in the
Legislature. Virginia is essentially conser-
vatlve State-more so than almost any other
and the Admnistrat ion is conservative the
Wing party tried to show itself more conserva-
tive than It's antagonist and even Nh. Summers,
dong violence TO his own sympathles and con-
victlons. was induced TO vauat himself better
champion of Slavery than his competitor. This
proved what Talleyrand characterized as worse
than crime-a blunder. Slave-breedlng Meek
lenburg and Halifax wen, as strongly as ever
for Democracy while non.slaveholding Brooke
Lewis, Doddrdge, &c, were Disguised and re-
PEELED So Mr. Summers is beaten some Ten
Thousand votes, and the grasp OF sham De-
mocracy on the State Is rather strengthened
than otherwise. The prospect of 4 Wing as
cendsncy therein is as faint and distant as al
any former period.
NOW we do no, say that the State could have
been carried by a different line Of conduct we
only urge that nothing was gained but probably
much lost by the course actually pursued. The
platform OF the Wing party OF Virginia presented
no point of decided and palpabe advantage 20
the Forty thousand new voters lust admitted TO
the Right Of Suffrage Now party Democracy
is but an empty name IN Virginia as elsewhere.
but II Is an attractive name and has the farther
advantage Of being quite generally winning
enc. mere name certainly is not much bu.
1t IS better than nothing
Now suppos. the whis party Of Virgins had

gains but the merit object Of the volume IN question
was 20 produce crsdfable rork Of art NOT 10 MIA

The publisher aimed at producing series Of
portraits which should be characteristic eraap!ss OF

and IN order that they should have A realty, Was
desirable, of course, that real portraits should Dc
