such selr-sacrHsing disintetcsted magnanmity that
should surely not fail to be properly appreciated
The folio wing from the Petersburg Democrat will
give readers specimen of the kind.hearted soil.

| We may take this occasion to express our most
sincere thanks aud VIC think we may also venture to
say that the whole Wing party of Virginia will unite
with US in thanking our Petersburg cotemporary for
the many services he has conferred upon us all in
the publication of the above article. For in addition
to the very censoling soicitude manifested in re-
ference tho Wing party, there is an item Of nor-
nation contained in it for which shall consider
ourselves under lasting obligations. We mention it
as an important piece Of information, something really
ne,c and for the favor of divugng it the world is inr
debtcd to the Petersburg Democrat. We mean that
portion Of the article which announces that There
is much speculation as to tho whereabouts, the per-
sona appearance, antecedens, &c, of tho next Wing
candidate for the Governorship" We learn from this
that there is to be Wing candidate for the next Go
vernorship and that arrangements are now being
| made to put him the track. We learn further
| more that there is Wing party in existence yet
that it is exactly dead and that all the talk OF De-
IN crats up the present day, about the Wing party
being dcfunct is entirely mistake. Well il is truly
gratifying to hear this from Democratic press
| But must insist that our good ncghbor will not
give himself any trouble whatever to the con-
dition Of the Wing party Of Virginia We have the
pleasure Of assuring him, since he has found out
that there is lire Wing party in the State, that
whatever its condition may be it does not stand the
least in need Of his sympathy solictude, that OF

cratic friends will have objection to their voting
along with ihem-provided they say nothing about
coming in afterwards for any Of the spoihs. And
IN conclusion let press upon our neighbor Of the
Democrat, and all others Of his party WHO may be
disposed to manifest similar spirit the Importance
of preserving all their socitude for their own party
Fur our part cannot think Of accepting it. As
they stand in much need of it than we do it
would amount to species Of robbery almost to de-

nounce them. They say:

that "uuder circumstances will they support any man
for any ohc who belongs to such order, who sd

NV, there is something serious abou, the latter par,
Of this pronunciament1 against the know No,hngs.-
When the Democracy content themselves wi merely

IS never much damage done. or much danger Of any
