THURSDAY, MAY 81, 1855.
The Virginia Election.
KENOSHA, WIS.


1t wss taken for granted that in this state Wise
would be defeated and the Know Nothngs be
largely triumphant; which expectations, however,
the result has by means justified. Wise is cleo
ted By a large majority, and the Congressional de-
legation are very nearly, If not unanimously, dem
ocratic. We have no tears TO shed over this result
for on the slavery issue there nothing choose
between the parties. Virginia is very unanimously
pro slavery as are all the slavehoiiing states and
hence the causes which have DESTROYED old parties
IN the north do not operate there. Pierce and his
administration, beyond question, are acceptable to
Virginia and the south, and hence also the Pierce
democracy might be..expectcd to do what they have
done. viz: to maintain, il not increase, their an
cient strength.
This result confirms what we have long conten-
ded. that the Know Nothngs have little or no in +.
trinsic strength. In the north they have been
content to mount popular hobby already on the
full run, and running with it, because entirely
poweless TO check it, they exclaim, as the fly on
the wheel. " what dust We make,'' But in Vir-
ginia, occupying the same popular platform with
their opponents with nothing under heaven in the
scale against them except the popular graft ude to
Pierce aud his party, they were not able to kick
the beam in their favor. They died and made no
sign.
Aud another thing is confirmed by it, and that
is, that the Slavery question is and will be until
entirely settled, the paramount question in the
ton, which Know Nohingsm any other Ism.
override or ignore for in this state, even that
little of il involved in gra tituGe to Pierce and the
democracy for their labors in its behalf, stron
ger than all the strength Of the Order. We repeat
1.-THE late victories in the north ern states have
been anti slavery triumphs just as this one in Vir
ginia is triumph of slavery as represented by
Pierce and his party.
Nothing was expected at this election in behalf
of freedom, therefore freedom has lost nothing, bu
to Know Nothingism it seems to us the result must
be peculiarly severe. For il is thus demonstra ted
that it can be neither primary nor national par
~. The hopes which have been built upon its
supposed power to bestow the Presidency and all
its patronage, are npped in the bud. Politicians
will begin TO abandon it, rats sinking ship, and
its rapid growth will be more than paralleled by
its rapid decline. We are quite willing to risk our
reputation for prophecy or sagac,y on this predic.
ton.

MEssRs. EDIToRs
The truth of the proverb that Opposi-
ton is the soul of trade" will not be ques-
toned, and we are inclined to think that
other matters besides trade derive greater
strength and vivacity from opposition; for
opposlion-in this connection-means en-
ulation, and is not only justifable, but even
commendabie.
The Cities of Kenosha and Racine have
In this manner, if in no other, been mutual
ly benefited by their rivalry in endeavor-
ing to secure the trade of the surrounding
country. This is proper, and has been pro-
ductive of good results to both places; but
during a short visit which we had the plea
sure of making to Racine, short time since,
it struck US that the time had come when
these sister cities were aboutto benefit each
other more efiectualiy than by simply Sc
curing greater activity OF business and null.
DUPLICATION of dollars and cents. 1t occur
red to us that they were assisting and would
continue to assist each other in an infinite
~ higher and nobler cause.-the cause of
Education. This suggestion presented it.
self as we entered the spacious and tasteful
building dedicated by our neighbors to the
sacred use of public instruction. Such a
short time has elapsed since the "Union
School" system was establishedin our place,
that we have hardly begun to realize the
immense advantages resulting from it, and
the necessity gilmore accurate classification
of the pupils in order to establish that gra-
dation; which is the prominent feature OF
the system. In our hasty survey of the
Racine Public School, which was necessa-
rily shortened by the fact that slime, tide
and railroad cars wait for no one," we
should judge that people there had given
the fact of the necessity of regular grada-
ton careful consideration, and had acted
accordingly. When we add that our old
friends. Mr.. and Mrs. McMynn together
with MIR. H. B. Coe, are the principal teach
ers, it becomes entirely unnecessary to say
that the school merits the highest praise
that can be awarded to the most practical,
intelligent and pleasant methods of instruc-
ton, combined with the utmost regularity
and exactness of discipline The appear
ance of the school indicates in the strongest
manner, that the rules are complied with,
less from fear of punishment, than from a
gentlemanly and lady-like regard for the
de corum which should characterize every
school room.
Our short time sped rapidly away, as
moments pleasantly spent are wont to do,
and after leaving the school house, the ev-
ening train brought us in fer minutes
within sight of our own temple of knowl-
edge, to which our northern friends are
doubtlessly indebted for many of their adj
vantages and facilities, to say nothing of ed
Vocational experience. These considerations
led us to hope that the friends of common
schools IN Kenosha and Racine may have
cause to bless the rivalry existing between
the two cities, as tending to advance, by
emulation, the great cause of Universal
Education. O.

Awful Whirlyvlnd---IIfe aud Property De-
strOyed.

stroyed.
We learn from gentleman who resides
in the vicinity of O'Plain Station, on the
Illinois and Wisconsin Railroad, that an aw-
full whnlwind swept over that neighborhood
on Tuesday afternoon last. Persons at O.
Plain witnessed about four o'clock, spec
tacle like dense smoke rising in huge col
umn from the earth, at distance of few
miles to the west. The column extended
upwards to the clouds, when it became vio-
lently agitated with whirling motion. and
commenced moving over the country to-
wards the southeast. 1t bore some reSen :
blance to "water-spout, but was more
terrible in its appearance and movements.
Lightning flashed from the heavens and de-
scending through the column, contrasting
streaks of flame with its dark outlines, and
lending to the whole an aspect truly fear
full
The column continued moving in cir
cular direction toward the south east, thro'
assignment of forty five degrees, when it sud-
denly broke in two and disappeared. In a
few moments, at the point where the col
umn went down. it was observed to rise
again, this time apparently but few feet
in diameter. 1t expanded as it went whirl
ing upward, until nearly as large as before
and on reaching the clouds Ito appearance)
moved back again towards the north west,
over almost precisely the same path as be-
fore. When about half way back to its first
starting point, the column disappeared and
was no more seen.
This strange looking phenomenon was
whirlwind. On hearing from the neighbor-
hood where it was observed TO rise, (about
twenty miles from this city, it was found
to have been of the most terrible character
I-uprooting and destroying everything
which happened to be in its path. The
house of Mr.. Page, about mile south of
O'Plain station, was totally demolished,
and four Of the inmates acre killed. Three
others-the son and daughter-inl law of Mr..
Page, and one of their children, were bad
ly. and our informant tells us, dangerously
injured.
The persons killed were the wife of Mr..
Page, senior, and three of his grandchildren.
Two other children were hurt. making nine
altogether, who were either killed or injured
by the calamity. One of the children was
found twenty rods from where the house
stood, its body mu;ilated in most shock
ing manner, and stripped of every particle
Of clothing. The house was frame, and
stood upon a solid stone foundation, from
which it was lifted bodily by the wind, and
dashed TO fragments.
Farther west, the whirlwin6 demolished
alarge barn. and instantly killed a fine horse
and number of calves which were inside.
Fences were leveled, trees uprooted and
twisted from their trunks by the awful force
of.the wind. The destruction along the path
which it travelled must have been very great.
We fear that more human lives have been
lost. The wind, it is said, was the most
terrific which has ever been known in this
region of country, where whirlwinds have
not been an uncommon occurrence.-Ch CHI

respondent of the Sentinel says:
"Senator Sumner, of Massachusetts, has
been doing good service here, by the delivery
on three differentevenings--in this city twice
and once in Broeklyn-ofhis great Grafton
on the necessity, practicability, and dignity
of the Anti Slavery Enterprise On each
occasion the houses were overlooking and
enthusiastic; and the eloquent Senator is
sowing seed that will, if needs must, spring
up in crop of armed men, if the Kansas out
rage be persisted in. 1t is happy that
Massachusetts, has now fitting Senator to
assert and maintain the ancient fame of that
liberty loving commonwealth, and thus
much at least of gratitude we owe to Messrs
Pierce and D ouglas-that, by their atrocious
policy in the Nebraska bill, they have BAN
ded together in one solid and indomitable
phalanx, all lovers offreedom, under what
ever party name heretofore designated.
There is, indeed, none but the one great
political issue-the limitation or the extern
sion of Slavery,-and all men must take
sides upon that issue.-This is great gain,
and for it we are indebted to Mr.. Pierce and
his satellites"
