Primary ELECTIoN.-The election for eleven

TIVE tickets were run-one known as the Laird
ticket and tbs other as the Whitman ticket.
Three hundred and twelve votes were cast, but
two tickets were rejected on the ground of be-

test would be close, consequently strenuous ef-
forts were made to bring out large vote; but
en- counting the ballots, it was ascertained that
the candidates on the Whitman ticket received
only . scattering vote. We believe no votes
were challenged, and every one who felt in-
'slined took part in the proceedings The con-
test, however, was confined to the Administra-
tion party, which as the vote shows, is not very
powerful in this place. The following is the
nnmher of votes which each candidate received:

The Richmond Wing having shown that
the proposed Tax bill. as revenue measure,
will not answer the expectations of its
friends, examines deliberately the principle
of the tax on sales Of goods bought out of
the State. as a measure of protection, or for
rendering us independent Of the North; and
comes to the conclusion that III that respect,
also, il cannot effect at this time, the desired
object. The reasoning of the Wing appears
to us to be sound on this subject. However,
it will be seen, By letter from Richmond,
published in another column. that it is al
most certain the proposed tax will be rejec-
red in the Senate.
