From Hampden Statesman
The recent elections in Virginia and other southern States
give unmakabe evidence that element of success that
has there entered into the and given the democratic
candidates such mGorites and the party much strength Is
the power Of the old whg party Previous to
the Virginia election it believed by the noIhngs
that Mr. Wise would be defeated by twenty thousand major
iy and they claimed that of all the voters Of the Old Do
minon they had that majority registered members of their
organization and TO the support OF their candidate
Considering the undisputed sway which the party
possessed at the North the peculartes of their organ
izaon, and the fact that their candidate opposed to Mr.
Wise member of the wing party and devoted to its
claim the -nothngs succeeding in their State
election That the wings who despsed the eagued oath
bound conp could vote for OF their quondam po
litca friends entertaining his old political principles and
only hereca for the adoption of ones In the hope
of revouonizing the old Commonwealth, was consistent
propositions and probable that dared not combat the
idea that should they any considerable numbers support
the candidate OF the opposition the democrats must have
defeated Let not be disguised that for the success
the democratic party Virginia indebted to the con
sentative national whig votes given TO Mr. WISE But Tor
them he could have been elected and the spirit engende
| ed by ambitious denagogues would have trampled the
democratic party PROSTATE before their undpued march
conquest dominion but for them the prestige OF
nothingism would bid defiance all opposition in every
southern State and its ntoerant proscrptive doctrines
must have been suffered exist in Commonwealth emphat
ioay parent States the mother Of statesmen Against
such calamity saved by the aid of votes from the
old wing partyvotes of who follow principle rather
than deserving friends and bastarded politicians who place
country before partymen who will sacrifice pride of opin
ion and the Of party to the honor OF State The
election of Mr. Wise the death blow to know nohingiam
In sentiment Of Mr. WISE the honor OF their defeat be-
longs alone the democratic party but to the ten thou
sand vatve national to degrade
themselves by giving and aid to the reasonable
schemes Of the order who voted for him. Men united to
party feel pride in its and rejoice in the defeat
of their legitimate political antagonists; but there are
occasions when the CITIZEN loyal to his country must yield
party aines the demands of patriotism po
ca antagonists should forget party, abandon iayore or
CARNATIONS and yield obedience to duty Such an occasion
when Daniel Webster whose name was his nation
glory and whose country his the memorable seventh
March proclaimed the necessity OF the adoption OF the
compromise of Mr. Clay and with whig and demo-
cratic statesmen gave his influence and support to the omn
bus bill aay the excitement which threatened the ppe
uty the Union There those at the North who aee
to dcspe the suggestion of dissolution OF the Union ior
cause, and in spirit OF superlaye wisdom denouhce
men fools to beray idea of the possibility OF dis
solution of the States and shelterng themselves under
the pretexts of such opinions they continue their assaults
in every conceivable way upon the citizens ana insttn
lions of the South and when the South, incensed by
long continued ourages, the first blow in

tecng them from their meted castgation This class OF

the fanatics discontinue their aggressonsit the
free States are wage upon the slave States
by adopting such the personal---very. bill oil our

is deuson 1t silence these abolition agtators that
Mr. Webster himself and his influence to the
mise measures check the tide of anaticism that
had gained increased velocity by aid of selfish demagogues
that thousand wings of Virginia to sacrifice party
pride and preudces and vote for Mr. Wise and the demo-
cratic ticket and for like have thousands of wings in
North Carolina Tennessee and Alabama voted with the
democratic party the recent elections turning the tide OF
success the nothing organization in favor of the
national administration
Such being the of action the part Of the
Wigs of the South the question naturally suggests
ITSELF what will be the of the national Union wings OF
the States Norhconcedng what many of the wing
laborng prove that the whig party is disoganized
and extinct? What will they do in Massachusetts, There
are thirty thousand wings in this State conservative in their
views eled to the democratic organization and
be abotionzed induced join the proscpt
i've dark lantern ogarchy, the anatcal free soers
Without organization they alone and each lett to in
quire inquired by the greatest of statesmen
in Faneuil Hail. where to go? To this inquiry we
there to-day but two parties in the Satethe
nothing party and the democratic party The
in the Commonwealth is under the control of the
free-soi nboltionsts and petty pebad native Americans
This party sectional it is bgoted it is minded,
selfish bera Its administrative capacity ia inadequate
to the of State and its views of national poll
CIV are such as to in the estimation of every
who Union and reoces its increasing prosperity
The disgrace attached the Commonwealth in years
legislation government Of this party must suffice But
in one thing with the wings has this patyoppo-
| sition to the national administration.
Opposed to -nothngs is the democratic party

the history of the Union. Its views Of public policy
Of anationa LIBERAL republican in theory and in
practice Reverencing the constitution of the Union, is
not sectional but national 1t does upon the rights
of any legitimate institutions of of the States but
seeks to protect rights of alnether proavery nor
anti slavery consiituona Its general views OF public
policy are by the conservative wings
Of to-day is where it has been and means
bewhere democratic principles lead the The party
