We see a paragraph going the roInds OF the news

is wiring history of tie times of the Revolution

this impression We deem it proper 10 say that Mr.

this paragraph has had the god fortune TO read
some of the most exquisite chapters i'll the rt'l-

cnnMIY ELECTION.

The col MY elections passed OffOn Thursday
quietly and peacebIy as they always do in JEFF
f,rsoo. The result, as will DO seen by the an
nexgl detailed account, was the election of the
present inoum bent-. for the Offices of Sheriff
and Commonwealth Attorney. There were
no nominations made for these offices by either
party yet much anxiety was manifested as the
election approached and some hardiighting was
done by the partizan friends of both of the
candidates.
Many were disappointed necessarily, in
the result Of the elections, for the vari-
on. Offices, but we trust there have been no
heart-burnings engendered, and no arrows left
to rankle. The beauty IF American character
and its peculiar ftnesa for republicanism, con-
ais. in the universal acquescence in the de-
cision Of the majority of the people, because
.hey nre sovereign.
The following is the result Of the elections
ia this and the adjoining counties as far as
heard from.

THE LAST PLATFORM.

Speaking of the meagre and feeble concern which
was botched up by the K. n convention at Staunton
and which furnishes to the order in Virginia the plat
form on which they stand when that of the Phiadel-
phin national council tires their feet, the SOuthsde
Democrat says:
Not a syllable about Roman Catholics or the Pope,
and not word about foreigners, except dOth most
emphatically condemn" the subject of which is mere
" the right oftoreign settlers in ro territories his
Union. This and declaration that the Democracy
ofVrginia are responsible for the debt and taxes Of
the State, are the Platform and Banner ofthe South
Americans OF virgiuia. And so Fillmore and DOuel-
son must be elected.
lst. To keep foreigners from voting in Kansas.
2ud To keep Democrats from running Virginia

Though there has as yet been no official announce
ment of the resignation OF the Professor of Ancient
Languages at the University, the number of apPli-
cants for the anticipated vacancy has aheady reach
ed a very large number, including gentlemen from
all portions of the Union. WhomsoeVer the Board Of
Visitors may think proper select the friends of the
University, we doubt not, will be cOntented, Prortdsd
the appointment be conferred upon aIuEaHus ofthe
Institution, many ofwbom are eminenty qualified
for the high position, and justly deserve the APPOINT
ment. The Board of Visitors have net acted upon
the suggestion bat it is generally conceded, that
they viii at their session the 2sth of the ent
month divide the School of Ancient Languages into
two Professo rships, of Latin and the other Of
Greek There is probability that the labors ofthe
School of Mondern Languages viii also he divided.

several expressions and illusions in,tbe piece
which taken in connection with The con-

aud has since been Speaker of It's Assembly and
twice elected its Chief Executive officer met for the
first time in ten years his yonger brother, VIM Big

poor printers boy, and the two during their sepHrn-
ton. in consequences of their rgy and talents
have been elevated TO the high Offices in the gift

What a noble commentary free institutions,
and what inducement docs this incident afford to
the poor and frendless but deserving youth of our

two brothers will next meet members of the high
