heretofore acted with the Democratic pnry anu m.o
WAS member of large and influential Deih.cIu
family OF the county This lost us nearly t'e "iV v"

think | may safely say that three-tourths OF these
voters would have voted the Democratic ticket, Tor
| the organization of the Know-Nohngs was such
that every voter belonging to their order was at the
polls. If we could have gotten these voters to the
polls we would have reduced the mujori.y to less than
| one hundred.
BUT we suffered most from Northern Methodsm.-
You arc aware of the fact that Western Virginia
! il attached to the Baltimore Methodist Confer.
apce. that Conference includes considerable por

Lnvc been aLle to learn, Know Nothipgs; and in

been upon tho stump making spcechcs for fiourhoY

SANS" DEAD IN THE OLD DOMINION!
| The tchOlc Democratic Statc J'irEd Effected By an
| Orcrwheiming .MjorHy!
We furnish to-day all the returns received up I"
the hour OF going TO press. We have returns enough
| to render ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN the election ni our
whole Democratic State ticket by m immense najori-
! IT, ranging from l. OOO to l5,OOD.
All honor to the proud Democracy of the ancient
| Commonwealth for this glorious achievement They
fought against the "mciShic and heretofore "inrinc'-
| lie" "San;" and they huyc come cut 81 the contest
covered all over with victory. Some good GU! true
| Democrats, under uomentary excitement had said
they would not vote for WISE and they felt unwilling,
to sacrifice their word, although they would not vote
| the Know Nothing ticket. These will RESUME their
| old places, with their old friends i'll the Democratic
ranks. The trcacicry Uf Il few knavslI dOmagosucs
who willing 10 betray their party and their prin-
ciplcs If ever they had ANY, for the "loavcs and
| ishes" uf office. has done damage; on the con-
rary, il las prrcL our pary Of of lis corrupt
members. We can DO in future very well without
drmagugues who deserted 10 the encigy for the sake
of nominations for Congress, the State Senate, eGs-
| lature, &c. "s0m" has nothing to give 10 his follow
ers. No hunOrs-nD cmp,nmcnls-lO credit for Il fair

! We head our list with glorious old Rockingham,
size deserves to stand HOW ut the head of the Demo.
cratic column Rockingham will step from her place
at the bend Of the victorious Virginia Democracy,
whenever any other county in the State beats her,
| Until then she claims and will occupy her place.
