THE ADMISSION OF vIRGINIA--PARTIEs
IN THE FUTURE.

Senator Johnston of Virginia passed
mere on Sunday last, returning home
from Washington. He seemed rather
respondent, and to friend expressed
the belief that Virginia would not be
admitted till February. 1t is certain
that she will not be admitted till after
the holidays. We fancy that the for
nation of parties for the future has
something to do with this delay. RASH
ness In Georgia and in Tennessee has
also much to do with it. Republican
leaders want to guard against similar
rashness in Virginia. These leaders
have but one principle, common to all
politicians, that namely of prolongirg
party existence, per faS AIT nefas.

that politics is a game at cards with
sharpers, As the game now stands in
this State, it is but too evident that Re-
publicans and those who lean towards
Republicanism have all the honors and

your pocket, tumble it between your
fingers as you walk slowly home wards.
