The Democracy of Virginia.

Our able and reliable cotemporary, Tho
Richmond Enquirer, contains the fol
lowing encouraging article in relation t.
the Democracy Of the Old Dominion
- The Democracy of Virginia, anxious
and DESTROYS to bring back to the fold Of
the party their erring and wandering
brethren, abstained from any very great
exertion until oftcr the adjournment OF
the Charlottesville and Staunton Conven-
tons. This was done in order, If posi-
BILE, to harmonise the party. This wise
course has worked out most excellent re ,
sults--many Democrats who were kindly
disposed towards Mr.. Douglas, having
Witnessed the factious and uncompromis
ing course Of the Stanton Convention,
have determined to adhere to their party,
aud support the nomination of Mcssrs.
Breckenridge and Lane. The Democra-
cy of Virginia, in the present campaign,
will poll a larger vote than in any pre-
yious canvass; and notwithstanding the
detection Of the Douglas men in the State,
the electoral vote Of Virginia will be
given to Breckenridge and Lane by ma
jority over Douglas and Bell combined.
From all quarters and sections of the
State, from the Ohio to the Atlantic, the
most encouraging accounts have been re-
ceived at this Office.
The true and gallant State Rights
Wings Of Virginia are rallying to the
support Of the Democratic party, aud at
testing their earnestness by subscription
to the Enquirer, and by the purchase Of
documents. From our country CORES
pondents we learn the utter hopelessness
Of the Douglas division in more than
three-fourtbs of the counties of Virginia
After a most desperate effort not one-thrd
of the countios of Virginia were author
itatively represented in Staunton, and
from many, solitary Douglaste was the
volunteer representative Of counties he
knew he misrepresentod. Numbers of
instances Of this kind have come within
our knowledge.
Since the adjournment Of the Char
louisville convention, the great work has
been nobly began, and from this time
onward will continue until Virginia sends
greeting 10 November TO her sister States
that she has again, as 70 often in the
past, overthrow the enemies Of the
South and their deluded and mistaken
allies.
Mr.. Douglas stamping visit to Vir-
GINA will do much good 10 the Demo-
cratic party. The Office of President is
held in such high esteem by the people
Of Virginia, is regarded so far above the
stump, that disgust and contempt has
ever attended those who sought to de-
grade it to the vulgar level Of an cleo.
tioneering tour. The only hope Of the
Bell men was in the division and discord
of the Democracy; for this they have
urged On the followers Of Douglas to inn
port bin into Virginia, but they find that
they have overrun the game, and, though
thousands flock TO hear him, his friends
are finding in the expostulotons Of the
people the injury he is doing to their
cause.
