to tho Country. No man can remain an in

poseto furnish to our readers such facts as we
may deem Of most Importance to them, and
for the best interests Of the County. And
that these facts may be as widely disscmna-

deem it hardly necessary to urge upon our

Importance Of lending us their aid We shall
not advocate the election Of any man who is
not friend Of the UsIoN, and determined
to support the Constitution and the Lalrs as
they are We are confident large addition

al the Governors house, in Richmond, on
Friday night, to express their disapproval o.

couragcment to INSTRUMENTATION and crime

the people Of Virginia

Our neigbbor Of the Democrat has turned
bis attention to what he calls the discussion
Of the Wings sabout their candidate for the
Presidency in prospect" After quoting
few passages from . few Men York papers,
which differ in opinion as TO the eligibility Of
Fillmore and Scott. be cxclaims with sat
isiaction which is very perfect The Wings
can't elect anybody"
Now it is quite refreshing to hear man
! fresh from Bcdlam lecture quiet people on
the .roise and confusion which he faneies
prevails among them. Our neighbor has
| been for some time in the midst Of hot FIRE
discharged at him in the front and rear, and
on all four sides Of his body, BY bis old polit-
ical brethren who are now disputing every
word be uttcrs. He has heard nothing but
thunder and discord 10 the Democratic fami
~ for month, and has himself been the cause
| Of some fuss in the Kentucky branch Of that
family We naturally expected that one who
has so long been living in on uproar. would
when he came to deliver homily on Wing
disscnsions, give us some ideas Of an original
cast. Bat be has nothing but vapid common
places to utter on that subject
! As to the discussions in the Wig party
they are as the whisperiugs of zephyrs when
compared with the confusion worse cohfound-
ed" which rcigns over the Democracy. The
Wings are just Initiating :keir risibles slight
ly. They are growing rather weary of the
monotony Of peace ami brotherly love, and
wish to diversity their amuscments with lit
tie spicy discord But they can never pos
| sibly become so il-natured as to wage war
on each other. as the Democracy is doing
They viii never fight and catterwaul like ten
thousand tomcats, in imitation Of the very
unamiaile example set them by the Dcmoc-
racy. The helligereuts in the ranks Of De-
mocracy who have thrown OF their coats, roll
ed up their shirt sleeves. and have been
pounding away on the noodles Of their breth-
rem, right and left. can find no countenancc
for their pugilsm ia the great aud united and
pacific Wing party.
Neither should any Democratic belligcrent
LAY the fattering JUNCTION to his soul'i that
the sWhigs cant elect any body" Such at
tempts at self delusion are clearly absurd.
The Wings can elect somebody. and they
mean to do it. and moreover they will do it
in most triumphant style. They may have
little pleasant controversy among them
selves in advance of their National Convcn-
ton, but when their nomination is made,
they will turn all their batteries on the po-
litical enemy, end win in November rout and
completely overwhelm him. That, ncighbor.
is what the Wings are going to do, and you
need not longer dupc yourself into the belief
that they can't elect anybody. No Demo-
crat ought to cajole himself il that way but
on the contrary he ought to be preparing his
mind for the glorious spectacle Of a grand
Wing victory in the coming Autumn.-Lou.

MR. FILLMORE in VERMONT.


The Vermont Statesman of Saturday last
says: The South will generally 60 for Fill

protect them. This consideration will doubt
less carry for NJ. Fillmore at the South even
those who would prefer Mr.. Webster At
the North, We cannot discover where Mr..
Webster can count upon any strength. We
should regard Massachusetts as doubtful for
him; n, York is between Fillmore and
Scott; Ohio and Pennsylvania all Scott I;
Michigan, New Jersey. Delaware, Connect
cut and Vermont, and we believe Maine also,
divided, and MIR Webster the weakest OF the
three. Where then is he to obtain strength
for a nomination. At this moment, and as
things now stand we believe Mr.. Fillmore

prudence and frmness Confdence in him
has brought the country from the verge OF
civil war to calm and quiet repose. There
is neither vaciation or hesitation in bis poll

avowed on entering into Office. Multitudes

Mr. Clay, viii. prefer Mr.. Fillmore for these
reasons. One thing is certainly true. that

confidence of the whole country. We be-
