IHE RICHMOND WING NOT TO DO IT.
Inc disunion leaders In Richmond, Va, In order
70 shsnce the only Union paper in that city, have
bought up the balance Of power In the stock of
the Richmond Whig, a joint stock concern. and
have voted the editor, Mr.. Ridgeway, a staunch
Cnionist, out Of his position. To-day 1t is to come
out for dlsunioG. The Unionists of the Leoisla-
ture and Convention have, however, promptly
raised S2O,C 10 start Il new Union journal there
with Mr. Ridgeway at its head; and ere the end
OF the week will doubtless have raised SO OOn
more for 1t, (the sum required to give it a fair
start) and will also have secured il substitution
list paying So, COS per annum. Subscript ons were
made to 1t in Alexandria alone, Yesterday, TO the
extent OF $500 for the next year
The Whig has been sustained alone by the I-nion
party OF the State, and this change Of its color,
will Instantly strip it of its late dourishing bu.
ness; when II will have to share the meagre pa-
ronage OF disunionism now starving the Engui
rer and Examiner. 1t is clear to our mind that
from the first week Of its publicat on threefourtbs
OF the business Of the Whig will be transferred to
the new Richmond Union journal, which will
speak the sentiments Of those who have patron
lied the Whig up to this time.

The VIRGINIA CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION,
which comes of on the fourth Monday Of next
month-May-wiii result in an Union victory

in its course towards them 1.-THE border States)
and the States now suffering under the despotism
Of the Oligarchy. As we see reason whatever
to believe that any such TGur pas will be perpe-
trated, we feel confident that the Virginia cleo
ton In its result will not only satisfy all the
world that the border States will resolutely adj
here to their present allegiance, but will also
instantly strip the OligarchY of their hopes of
seducing those States to submit themselves to
their despotsm, and at the sane time prove the
signal 70. the organization of powerful parties In
the seeded States In favor Of their return under
the Government Of the United States. AS matters
now stand In Virginia, the disunionists are cer-
tain Of electing but single member Of the next
Congress. Out Of the whole twelve the Unionists
certain Of seven, and their chances OF success
In the other four two to one. We know what
we write in making this declaration.
This calculation cannot possibly prove falla-
ciOus, unless the Government here may spoil its
dsHoIemsnt by accommodating its coercion sup
porsers with the abandonment of its peace policy;
which We are very sure will not be done.
Under existing circumstances, therefore, the
country may expect to see Virginia represented
In the next Congress by IN almost unbroken dele
CATION, who, in swearing to support the Constitu-
ton Of the United States will observe the oath in
good faith, standing by and maintaining, through
good and evil report, the integrity and supremacy

that the Virginia Convention will conclude their

next week.
Our Information from Richmond satisfies us
that on that day the disunionists will be beaten
byaclear majority Of ighteen votes on any seces-
sion proposition upon which they may finally
concentrate themselves. Their policy Of getting
bogus instructions upon Union delegates cannot
lessen that majority against them. Their scheme
OF staying of final vote to await the arrival of
SUCH instructions, has enabled them to compel the
Union majority to postpone final vote to the
time indicated above; but It will not give them
the victory they anticipated through It.
