The QUESTION is asked every day, is there dan.
g,r of Virginia going against the regular demo-
cratic electoral ticket? Such question is an
evidercs of tho anxiety felt respecting the vote
of our State. While it is impossible for any
man or any sot of men to predict With any car
sainly the result Of an election lie State 30
large IS ours. and while We have but little faith
10 tho canvass of the vote that is said to have
been made. yet We have cleaned from various
sources information from different portions Of
the State, which leads Us to believe that the
regular ticket will be successful BY handsome
mtjoriiy. But while this is our opinion, and it
is shared 10 by some of the most astute politi-
cisns 10 Virginia, still we do not hesitate to say
that there is danger of our State being lost, and
ii is for the purpose Of callirg attention to the
danger that this article is written. There is
too much speaking and TOO little organization.
