Virginia Election.

! Not since the DAYS Of is40ohave the Whiqs of
Virginia won so brilliant victory MS the one they
nobly achieved on the 26th Of May last. On the
Presidential. election of 1856 we gaiued 2A00O
votes, and ON that Of Wise in 1ss5we gained 1000.
And more brilliant still, we have defeated no less
than five Of the regular Democratic nominees for
Congress skinner CaslSie Faulkner Floyd aud
Powell But with all of our rejoicing rs Wings,
there passes before us painful and dark reflection
which sinks our hearts as Nrginians and as South
erners. We cannot drive from minds the startl-
ing fact that have been beaten upon the issue Of
slavery by the anti-slavery sentiment of the North
West For the first tune since lSi7, the question
of slavery, as an element Of our socioal structure,
has been agtated by Yrginans aud for the first
time in the history of the slavery agitation has
Virginia Governor been borne into Office by tho
anti-savery portion of people. In the election
of Mr.. Lctcher, the issue made mp squarely aud
explicitly between the pro-slascry men and those
who opposed to the institution. 1t is true that
not all in Eastern Virginia who voted for Mr..
Letcher are unsound but the facts sustain the as
sertion that his vote in the Northwest was largely
increased by the tact that his views Of slavery were
more suited to that latitude than Goggins,
and it is that increase which has elected him to the
Chit Executveship of Virginia Is II not then tr.e,
beyond all doubt that Letchers anti-slavery views
saved him from defeat in the late election Hl-
But say some of the Democrats, how do you
Know that Mr.. Letchers gains in the North West
were due TO his endorsation of the Ruffner Pamph-
let. We answer by saying that, in all other parts
of the State, Letcher fell behind his party vote;
and, VIC ask in turn why did he lose in the slave
counties and yet increase his vote where there are
but few, if any slaves, if it was not because his
views on that question were regarded unsounde
There can be no other reason given under the Sun
than the one we give. Nor is this ALL We are not
left to conjecture TO the reason why the North
west went for Letcher. The papers from that
a.
conclnsiycy that John Letchers endorsation of the
Ruffner Pamphlet in other words his abolitionsm,
rendered him dear TO the heart of that people. In
the slave country John Letcher was defeated; by
the non-slave holding portion he was reelected
Put these facts in your pipe ye self constituted
guardians of the peculiar institution and smoke

A DOUBLE CHICKEN.-We saw, yester-
day, at our Office, chicken with two dis
tinct backs, two pair of wings, two wind
pipes, and four legs, with but one head
1t survived the Matching but short time
owing to bad treatment, it is supposed,
from the hen Lexington Observer.
This must have been of the brood of that
old Democratic rooster which used to crow
so vigorously over Locofoco triumphs,
whenthat party was in its prime. The dou-
Bile chicken is apcrfccttype of Democray; it
has two backs, one to turn on conservatism
at the North, and the other on the con
stitutional rights of the South; it has two
pair of wings on which the public money
and the taxes of the people fly away; it has
two windpipes, through one of which il
breathes free soil heresy at the North, and
through the.other non invention doctrines
at the South; it has four legs-a double
pair-like any other ravenous beast, and
but one head-the source and fountain OF
official favor. Let the Democrats throw
their cuts of the old rooster into the pit
basket, and get others engraved of thedou

.''I am sorry that our friendship should
have terminated thus cannot give the
love you seek for my heart acknowledges
no warmer sentiment than sisterly re-
gard, yet crave your friendship and
would regard it as no common boon if
granted" eps
p There was a wildly mournful expression
in the eloquent eyes that looked down into
hers, like that Of wounded deer when
its gaze is turned upon its slayer, which
caused her to shrink from their encouter'
TO offer friendship for the warm heart he
olicited seemed an aggravation of the
pain she gave,-a substitution of the
wintry moons cold rays for summers
genial warmth.
He pleaded not for revision Of his
sentence, but in his proud humility he
sternly queled all outward demonstration
of his suffering and respectfully bade her
farewell, with far less ofagitation than her
trembling tones betrayed. Lily had ex-
pected, nay hoped for more emotion than
he exhibited. She knew his heart was one
that could feel deeply and she was unpre-
pared for his stern pride .an
Some hearts there are like wax within
Che moulders hand, which easily receive
the impression made upon them to be as
easily ehaced others like the more en-.

wrought must remain forever, may with
some shivering blow be broken into atoms,
still will the deeply craven lines appear
and such socs his. .s. .. ..r.....
b. She did not note the anguish concealed
beneath that calm exterior, for who can
look upon the ice -glassed lake and dream
the waves beneath are lashing in vain fury
their prison walls. Nor did she hear the
despairing wall that arose from that grief
crushed heart like the last low note breath
ed from the trembling chords of broken
lutte swept by the rude fingers of winters
chilling blast.
His love was not the tender flower of
bright coloring and rare fragrance which
at the icy touch of Boreas dropped and
went to sleep within the gentle bosom Of
its mother earth, to revive again at the
first warm breath Of spring; but like the
forest oak which sent its roots deep into
his hearts rich soil and stretched its
branches heavenward, lovingly protecting
all that sought the welcome shelter, up
rooted now by the IMPLYING storm, shorn
of its beauty and proud strength, for
whom no future spring might breathe its
renovating gales. ,IshH ara

But look at another feature of this law,
andmark It's gross Inconsistency and grosser
injustice. If a man in Montgomery OBJ
tain pass to go into Davidson, and wants
to stop in Robertson more than ten days,
he must 90 to magistrate of the latter
county and tell him that, as a suspicious
character, he wants permit to stay there
longer than ten days, Here, again, the
poor devil, whose poverty may be his only
crime, is placed between two fires. If the
magistrate does his duty, the applicant for
the permit having confessed that he is ga
suspicious character" must issue war
rant for his arrest aud send him to Jail
unless he can give security for his good be
havior. But if the poor devil escape thi
danger by not applying for permit, anc
should then stay in Robertson more thar
ten days, she may be opprohendcd by an.
person''-not by an officer with due pro
