We told tho WING once beiore--and we
repeat IL now--that not one single pefa.
rra,,h which II quotes as having appeared
IN :his Journal in August and september
was written by the regular editor Iexcep.
tho ono which appeared in our paper Oh
Anrust 5th touching the nominee for Gov
crnor. and which was not among those
whose authorship we disclained week or
two agoe
We ask the Whig II II denies that the VIC
tory Of Tuesday last was n Republican VIC
tory We should be glad 10 chronicle us
denial.
II would afford us infinite satisfaction II
we could say, In reply to the Civilizations OF
the Washington Republicon, the New YORK
Tribune, and others Of the vilest OF Tue
vile Radical papers, that the triumph OF
hst week was. as Colonel CAMERON inti-
mated before the election 1t would DE,
triumph not Of the Republicans but OF the
Rcsdlustors Of. the public debt.
We should be happy indeed IL we could
with such reply change to mourning the
rejoiclngs Of EDxuSDs, DAWES, CoNKLNc,
CRAST, CHANDLER, DoN CAMERON, ana inc
other enemies OF the Democratic party
who are now Growing over the defeat OF
the Democratic party in Virginia.
We should glory in reyiying the droop-
ing spirits OF Messrs. SEYMOUR, BArARD,
VOORHEES,, HAMPTON, VANCE, HANSON, ana
all the other gallant leaders OF the national
Democratic party who recognize General
MALONE as a Republican, ana are grieying
over the hauling down Of the flag OF the
grand old Democratic party which has for
so many years been battling for the rights
of the States, and OF the people, and for the
true principles OF the Constitution.
And. above all, we should take pleasure
In telling the negroes who paraded the
streets Of Richmond on Wednesday eve
ring, and made night hideous with their
howlings, that the white mans party--the
Democratic paity-was not beaten last
Tuesday, nor the Republican party success
ful.
10 candid man will pretend 70 claim that
the negroes Of Virginia are exulting over
the triumph Of rcadjustmcnt. No, no.
They are rejoicing over Republican vic
tory, because they suppose that it means
that they are TO be elevated one degree.
They care not one straw, as the Wig well
knows, whether thesdebt is settled or not.
Nay, they would cast solid vote against
its settlement il settlement would, in
their opinion, lead to n rednion OF the
white men OF Virginia, or disbanding OF
the mongrel party which last week carried
the elections in this State.
No. 1t was Republican victory. 1t is
recognized rs such by every Republican in
the United States, as we'll as by every true
Democrat. IL was also, OF course, negro
victory. Some papers estimate that five per
cent. of the so-cnlled RCadjuster votes OF
last Tuesday were cast by whites and nine
ty-tivc per cent. by negroes. II ought to
be enough for the white men OF Virginiato
know that even a majority Of the votes
which defeated them were cast by negroes
The Wing says that the Funder gains
were in the negro districts. True enough.
And il the white men in the Valley and
the Southwest could have seen and felt
what the white men in the negro districts
saw and felt, there would have been neither
q Republican nor negro victory gained on
the 9Th. The white voters west OF the
Blue Ridge divided On the debt question.
The white voters in East Virginia saw that
more important issues were involved in
the elections. Most unfortunate 1t is for
Virginia that her negroes are msssed in
orc half OF the State.
