BURLINGTON. FRIDAY, MAY Is. 1855.
Virginia Election.

The great political event of the immediate
failure, is the election in tho Old Dominion
" occurs on the 9th Of this month. The
Governor and other state officers, members of
Congress and of the Legislature, are then to
be chosen. The Democratic and Admins
tration ticket is headed by Mr.. Henry A.
WISE, for Governor, and he is supported by
all the influence OF the national Government
The Wings and Know Nothings make com
mon cause, and unless they are mistaken,
will elect their candidate, FLouRNoY, by over
twenty thousand majority.
The canvass commenced early in January last
and has been exceedingly warm and bitter
tfr. Wise, in o late speech, stated that he
had spoken las hours in the canvass, and
expressed his conviction that he would he
elected by l2,000 majority, Mr.. FIouRNoY
makes no speeches, but leaves the whole
matter in the hands Of his party friends.
The slavery question which, it would seem,
can no longer he kept out of any political
contest, even where all are on ono side, is a
prominent element in the Virginia election.
Mr. Flournoy is accused Of having once
avowed very decided anti-slavery views. His
friends, on the other hand, repel the
cusation rs an uniounded calumny, The
Wise party also argue that the Know
Nothings' THE Northern States are bitter
abolitionists, and point to the speeches of
Senator Wilson of Massachusetts and John p.
IIales connection with the knowNoth-
ings" in New Hampshire, as proof positive.
Tue Flournoy party deny that Know
Nothingism" has any affinity with abolition
ism, and assert that so far from its being
hostile to the institutions Of the South, its
policy on the slavery question is one of strict
non-interference, and that, therefore, it is
denounced by the abolitionists the North
rs rro-slavery party,
Tho result of the election will be watched
with great interest by the politicians Of all
portions of the country. We think Mr.. Wise
will find that he might have saved the breath
which he has spent in his hundred md forty
eight hours stump speaking

evening last, according to notice. The
custom of our tax payers and citizens gcncr-
ally, to gather themselves promptly and in

lloTfL PRICES AND PRoFIIs.-It has been
officially announced by some of our leading
hotels, that on and after the LIST of May, the
charge for board would be SO per day The
Aston, st, Nicholas and New York have raised
their prices on account, we believe, of the
high price of beef, pork and potatoes The
Metropolitan Hotel continues the old charge
at $3.50 per day, and it is the intention of
the proprietors to make no change, under any
circumstances short of famine. With -four at
Sl2 per barrel, potatoes at 81 so per bushel.
and other articles in proportion, it does not
pay very well at 81 so per day, but the pro-
prietors Of the Metropolitan believe that for
the year through the old Ices will be sufi-
ciently remuneratiye, and tkey also believe
that hotels should take their chances with
other kinds Of business good seasons with tho
bad, Uniformity in prices, is an important
matter with the travelling public, and the
Metropolitan will adhere to the old rate
