TIE ELECTION in our State IS overland the
people of Virginia can now turn their attention
10 their material intcrcsts-to their business
pursuits-and to the general Improvement OF
their State. Their disposition is to encourage
the fair delightful plans Of peace, rather
than engage in dissensions of any kind. They
know what is their duty, and they do it when
they undertake to secure their rights through
the ballot-box. Rut they gladly and willingly
amply themselves to other matters, than polti-
cal contests. The prosperity of the Common
wealth is what they all desire to see, and to
aid in this. their energies are required.
TIE COUNTY RESPONSIBILITIES the Con
servativcs throughout the State, generally, did

dates for the Legislature, 4 gentleman, who:
we doubt not, will make IN excellent rcpre:cn'

':rhc coal trade at Georgetown is more brisk

from New York, Boston. Portland and Long
Island ports and Hudson River towns, are
quite numerous. Schooucrs are still scarce
the supply being far inadequate to the demand
of the different coal companies. large fleet

hcadwinds which prevail, will not be able to
reach the latter port under three or four days.
Loaded canal boats are coming in regularly,
but not in as great numbers as usua on ac
count of the sickness (chiIls and fever among
the boat hands up the line, which crippcs
the business of the caual. The stock Of

more than enough to keep schooncrs busy in
Transporting it until the close of navigation.

MAJoRlTIEs. The law of compensation
prevails, very often, in political affairs, well
as in other matters, and good has its offset in
evil, and vice versa 1t is very cheering to a
political party to obtain 'rousing majority -
and one naturally feels disposed to exult, when
the decision is thus made agreeably to his
wishes. But there are instances where large
and continued majorities in a section Or locality
opens the door to dissensons of ambitious as
pirants, and creates feuds which arc nischiev-
Gus. On the other hand, where there is warm
contest, in disputed State or county, and the
majority has to be really struggled for
every man is kept up to his mettle, and
there is no place for quarrels, among
friends, which can endanger the result
A working majority therefore, is in many
instances, for the sake, Of future union, har-
mony, and efficiency, as complete as any other
At the recent election in Virginia there were
several instances where very large and recog-
nized Conservative majority, invited a null
tiplicity of candidates, and endangered the tri-
umph in a few of the counties. In other places,
where it was known that success could only be
expected by concentration of strength, and
entire unity Of action, the Conservatives made
gains. There is another lesson. No man who
has the true interests of his party at heart
should reinquish his exertions at an election
because he has been told, or has heard
or really believes, that his opponents have
the majority in his county Or district
That should not be the question. He should
strive to change the supposed majority.
1t is his duty to endeavor to work with the
same will, as if there was not only chance,
but certainty, of bringing this to pass. He
should never be daunted by difficulties or de-
tered by distractions He should try always
If he succeeds, the more joy and satisfaction
will be his lot Majcrties of to-day may be-
come minorities Tomorrow We apply this to
Virginia. There is heavy popular majority
of Conservatives in the State at large-in some
sections of 1.-THE majority has to be contended
for vigorously. There is every inducement
therefore, for the Conservatives to continue
firm aud united in political affairs. They have
gained great victory-let them be prepared,
hereafter, to renew it, if necessary.
