q Election In virginia., Again.


II Is possible, Mr.. Editor, that may have ialicn
into an error, in my former article upon this sub
ject, in reference 10 the amoEnt of the popular
vote In Virginia ] have since ascertained that
the popular vote in 1859, nearly three years ago,
was about l3l, 900. IL is contended by some Of
the friends of Mr.. Wise that the State can now poll
10000 or 100000 votes. This is simply absurd.
The vote may have increased in two years, or
little more, some 5000 or 10,000--say, the vote
will now be 100000. .gxs < 81
Admitting this increase, however, If have an
proximated the truth in other respects Isveiy
respectfully ask the friends Of Mr.. Wise, what
grounds they rest their hopes upon of his q tri-
umphant" election, as some Of them say, on the
fourth Thursday In May, 1852 Oh! say some Of
these gentlemen, and not few, the viva poce vote
which obtains In the Old Dominion, ,oiH pork wo,s-
drs on the day of slsctioni Well, this may be
true; but ifit prove true, ! have studied the yir-
ginia character TO very little purpose; and ain
by no means the youngest man you ever saw, and
still less am the most ignorant Of the character
Of the sons Of the Old Dominion. 1I- r..,-...
II the viva voce vote is calculated to effect SO
much, why did It not show its power recently IN
Richmond and Portsmouth In other words. if
those sons Of Virginia. now In Office in Washington
have become so accustomed to the controlling in
fuence Of the poicer which feeds and clothes them,
that they dare not assert or declare the honest
convictions Of their minds and hearts--and hence
conclude that all other men are like thomselyes---
ask do they truly represent the honest, free,
open-hearted, bold, dashng, fearless Character Of
those with whom they still claim affinity? No sir;
no! The people Of Virginia are At least as manly
and independent as are those of New Hampshire
and other States aye, they are more so; and that
man who claims to be Virginian and still asserts
that her sons, now within her borders, will be de-
tered from voting their honest convictions, be-
cause they have To proclaim openly their votes, is
unworthy OF the name he bears. He has forgotten
what he gas, and what he still claims to be.
If this be true Of those who dssxme that their
friends and fellow-ctizens Of Virginia are afraid
TO vote openly in opposition to their old tyrant-
Democracy--what shall we say Of those who may
be found, the day of election, fulfilling the pre-
dction thus mades viii not undertake to an
swcr this question further than to say, they will
thereby show, and prove to the world, the truth
Of all that Its enemies have ever said Of the Democ
racy of this country, that 1t is the most arbitrary
tyrannical, and oppressive organization that ever

ALBANY Register.
The Albany Knicke-bocker, commenting on the
above, says:
1T strikes US George Laws money is to be very
fooshly expended if this is sample of the opera
tons of UlIman, Brooks, Hammond & Co. The idea
OF bringing out foreign ranters to preach up Ameri-
ca for Americans is inconsistent and ridiculous as
to drag the native movement down to lower deep
than any it has yet sounded. However, whom the
gods would destroy they first make mad,' and we may
observe that this is the first real symptom of insanity
we have seen since the setting in of the dog days
Could not Hammond get Monk Leahey 10 come to the
rescue, also! 1t will only be necessary to have him
pardoned out OF the Wisconsin State prison. and his
obscenity and falsehood would greatly enhance Mr.
Laws chances. We charge nothing tor the sugges.

n,- The foreign news appears to grow interesting

No. The foreign news appears to grow interesting
as the season advances and affords an occasional re-
lief from the standing topics of Know Nothlnglsm
and hard times blessings which seem TO have mace
their advent simultaneously, and which, we trnst'
will 20 off together, and that speedily.
At any rate, General Pelissier is entitled TO the
thanks of the Editorial fraternity for making some
interesting news for their columns Killing on
grand scale IL generally popular Certainly even
the most huma1e takes a considerable interest," Hot
unmixed with pleasure, in hearing all about it. The
main news by the Asia is that the French have cap
tured the Mamelon and White Tower Batteries, OF il
may be only ouiworks connected with these batteries
It is certain that they have taken possession OF an
important part of the Russian line of defence, and
have been able to connect it with their line OF
attack Considerable additional loss appears to have
been sustained by the Russians in the Sea of AEON
Still it must be borne in mind that the great strength
of the Russians in cavalry renders them not quite SO
dependent uton water communication for supplies, as
their antagonists would have to believe. We can
see no indications of earl peace. The only real
ly tangible guarantee is that the combatants rap
idly exhausting each other and themselves, and must
stop from II utua weakness after a while, if the dis
satisfaction at home does not drive the it ever
sooner.
matter of even greater congratulation with Ed
tors is that the prospects of the growing crop are
generally speaking, good. Cleveland paper says
that it's editor hopes, before many weeks, to buy
flour at six dollars barrel. This is cheering news

Mr.. Reid never pretended to discuss the plat
form of his pary-never once alluded TO the doings
at Phadelphia-never to the splitting off of the
good I" third degree" men--neYer once read that po-
tent degree which was taken by Gardner and Wilson.
Mr. Reid said something about the Leopold Socie-
ty of Austria, etc. sending money for missionary Pur
poses to America, and then commented upon it as
though it must mean exclusively the United States.
Beyond CHASING Papsts with Felons, and asserting
for them an allegiance to the Pope which men like
CASTOR, and fancy, and Carroll, and Lafayette deny,
we see little worthy of remark in Mr. Reds speech
He hardly did justice to the tracts he had with him
But presume he did the best he could. He asser-
ted strongly what no man would pretend to deny
that Americans should rule America, as they always
have ruled it. He talked about danger from the po-
psh emssaries from Catholic Europe. The greatest
danger appears to to arise from abolition emisSa-
ries sent out by protestant England.
There was very full attendance at the Court
House, and Mr. Reid's speech, although feeble and
demagogueical was sl courteous, and as Generai
thing, unexceptionabe in its reference to opponents
Others, perhaps, may not draw the same conciu-
sons from MIR. Reid's positions that we have DONE
