THE RESULT IN VIRGINIA.

The Enquirer of Tuesday last gives returns from
100 Counties of the l44 in the State from which
appears that Mr. Wise's majorties 20, III and
Mr.. Fournoy's TO- O12+leaving Mr.. Wise's ajority
1o.647. The twenty Counties to be heard from gave
Mr.. Pierce S4s majority. Mr.. Wise's majority will
nrobabv range between ten and eleven thousand.
The Enquirer of Thursday, which we shall receive
before going to press, may contain the final result
That paper of Tuesday says:
.y1RGlN1A DEMOCRATIC THROUGHOUT. have no
room for the iubant demonstrations of the Demo-
cratic press everywhere on the one hand nor the
rroans of the KnowNothing papers Gncluding the
4 Y Herald) the other, over the glorious result
in Virginia. We let our own pen be sent-leaving
the pleasant task to Democratic friends in all the
counties to registers the bril- ght chronicles of their
own victories, which, under all the circumstances
surpass all other triumph of Virginia. not excepting
the momentOus one OF 1900.
Suffice it to say that Wise IS elected Governor by
at east 10000 majority, and the rest of the State
tx ket by similar maorities. The result of the cleo
ton of Commissioner of Public Works is not yet
fully ascertained, but satisfied of the success
of the able and accomplished IIolladay.
The last returns indicate the election of Lewis to
Congress-thus completing the return of all the old
members.
The Senate and House of Delegates will continue
as strongly Democratic, at the least, as before.

LEAcHBURa N. c., May 26, 1855.
MEssRs. EDrroRs: 1t seems that the remarks
which submitted in the Franklinton Convention
have caused the Editors of the Register and Star
pour upea devoted head the vilest of their wrath
in copious streams. This is nothing more than I
expected from men who arc notorious for their black
guardism and for bingsgate in every thing they
insert in their dirty and slanderous sheets.
But there is one point to which l desire to call
the attention of the public, and to ask calm and
dispassonate consideration. They say have perjur
ed myself: say they have perjured themselves. Let
us examine, and let the public determine. As sta
ted in convention, had occasion to go to Baltimore
last summer, and while there was influenced to join
the Know Nothing Order under the following cir
cumstances: They represented the object of their
organization to be. to prevent the immigration of
foreign paupers and criminals to check the influence
of Roman Catholicism, and to break up Abolitionsm
wherever it might be found. To these principles
subscribed; and with the impression that these
were their objects, 1 was induced to join them At
ter having been initiated and made acquainted with
their real principles found that had been grossly
and wfully deceived; that SO far from their being
opposed to foreign immigration they were actually
electioneering for the foreign vote by any means
they could devise So far from being opposed to
Roman Catholics, they declare, wherever that sect
has any power, as in Louisiana that prescription of
Catholics does not enter into their creed So far from
being opposed to Abolitionsm they elected to office
the most notorious Abolitionists wherever they had
maJOrlty.
These are the circumstances under which Joined
and withdrew from them; and in the Democratic
convention 1 exposed what 1 believed to be their
true objects, and in SO doing feel that have per.
formed duty which owed to my country and my
God; for conscientousy believe that if such prin-
cples get the ascendency, the result will be the dis
memberment of this, our glorious confederacy which
calamity may God in his mercy avert.
In conclusion, Messrs. Editors, allow me to say
am more fixed and determined in my principles than
ever before; that feel degraded whenever reflect
that have been decoyed into that den of iniquity.
warn all persons to shun it as they would whirl-
pool of destruction. speak Knowingly when say
it is christian, antirepublican, and opposed to
every thing which should characterize free and in
telligent people.
Messrs Editors, 1 say to those Federal Whig Know
Nothngs Abolition Natives Sons of the Sires of 76
or many other names they may give them
selves, that my character for truth is appreciated
most where am known the best.
Very respectfully yours,
A. j. LEACH.

On otler lands to night

Gushed Ger the cleaning sand;

To lnger where the vestal flame -

While echo breathes thy name.

Drive fear and shadow far away,
Bid hyacinthine hopes to bloom,
And spring forever stay!

Washington. Jefferson, and Jackson-see that paper
of Tuesday, May %. Now, if it would not be too
troublesome and inconvenent to that paper, We
would be obliged to it to furnish the proof that
Washington, Jefferson, and jackson ever used the
expressions thus attributed to them. We shall

LATER FROM VIRGINIA,

The Enquirer of Thursday says, Counties from
which it has heretofore published returns, gave Mr.
Wise majority of 1O,647; and it then adds six
more Counties, making the majority 1852. The
fourteen Counties to be heard from will increase Mr
Wise's majority to about eleven thous md.
The Democrats have carried every Congressional
District in the State; and the Legislature says the
Enquirer, will be Democratic by upwards of forty
majority.

THE DARK-LANTERN CANDIDATE.

The last Register contains the correspondence be-
tween the Committee of the dark-lantern Conven-
ton at Louisburg and Mr. Shepard, in relation to
his nomination for Congress. The Committee, it
appears consists of the following persons: F. N.
Strudwick, Sidney A. Smith, J. B. Lttleohn, Jno.
W. Booth, N. NJ. Harris, E. T. Rice, and W. H. Har-
rson. Mr.. Shepard in his reply, reminds the Com
mttce that he had "never solicited the station
gratuitously rendered !-and accepts the nomina-
ton, of course. He says he does not expect to "es
cape the bitter maledictons of the opposition" We
presume that there is, stately, hard seearing
among the Know Nothings, under cover of the night
and with closed DOORS than there will be among the
Democrats against Mr.. Shepard. The Democrats
are not given to "maledictions" or "vain and rash
oaths" They will content themselves with thor
oughly exposing Mr.. Shepards inconsistency and
his new positions, and in voting him down at the
polls.
But vhere is the pzattorwas Where arc the Res
olutions adopted by this Louisburg cabal? Mr..
Shepard says he is for refusing citizenship to for
eigners under fourteen or twenty-one years; what
the decision of the Louisburg "Convention" on
the subject? He perceives danger in the eman-
cEation of the slaves of Cuba what thought the del
egates at Louisburg of this matter? He admits,
only for arguments Ake, that Senator Wilson is an
abotonist what is their opinion of that Senator
Let us haze the platform, and the names Of the dele
gatss The people demand light, and they are enti-
tied to have it. Are the eleven thousand freemen of

and Mr.. Sidney Smith, who has but very recently
settled in Johnston undertakes to do the same bust
ness for that County! Seven men, then, are to die
tate to eleven thousand-the country is to be saved
by delegates appointed in the dark, and by nomna-
tons made aoiM closed DOORS! SECRECY is the word
rs little as possible for the public eye.

falsehoods in the space of half column. That pa
