VIRGINIA.
The Whig Party has never received so
disastrous a blow as that just inflicted upon
them, in the signal triumph achiet®4 by the
Republicans of old Virginia. most
strenuous exertions ever put our
opponents, in a State canvass, were VUed
into requisition, and promised
victory, so doubtful a result, that they
at least hope, after their labors, to
safety upon the field of battle. Even fatM
er Ritchie, could ton find it in his generous
heart to and ny them the prospect of return
ing six members to Congress. So far. beli
ever, from succeeding where success was
probable, “ they have lost” says the Rich
mood Whig, “pretty nigh every thing'lhaJ
was in the reach of possibility for ihetnJ
lose.” They have elected but one
her of Congress, out of fifteen, and
dleton, the ami-Caucus, or
Whig in the Loudoun District, the
Democrats bad no candidate.
Their main point of attack, was
the Legislature, upouagHfebbflg the choice

complexion of the

quarter, lias secured for a
Senator who will represent her
pics.
‘‘Never have the Democratic party taken
higher ground oYI the eve of a great strug
gle than they did iu their late Address.”
Free Ttade, Low Duties, and the Annexa
tion of Texas in the most expeditious ami
practicable form, were their wateb-wordsi
anil by their magic inspiration, they con
quered. It infuses, every where, anew
spirit of joy into the Democratic heart to
hear the sons of the Republican fathers of
‘UR, and ’99 utter so loud and hearty a res
ponse to the principles of the immottal Jef
ferson.
It comes to us a timely and appropriate
offset to the disasters that lately belel us in
Connecticut—disasters that reminded the
timid of the tremendous reaction which ful-
Itfvved the advent of 1340, so auspicious
to the continuance of Whig ascendency,
and suggested to their feats a want of bar
tnony between the different wings and sec-
Kons of otp - party; that might work for us
|e same fall llial humbled the insolent pride
f our infatuated opponents. Blit such men
ovetlooked the important fact; that the Fed
eralists have a mortgage on Connecticut,
which) by a threat of foreblositre, would, at
any time, enable them to paralize, some by
Intimidation and silence, and others by their
power ol btibery. The interests of manu
facturing capital wete powerful enough to
Mterawe the laboring nlasses into a passive
submission to wrongs, which they wanted
not a sense of their injustice to redress, but
over which threats of being turned out of
employment, made them brood in silence.
But whetever the free expression of un en
lightened public opinion is (nictated and ob
tained, there will the standard of Free
Trade and Texas wave in triumph over the
scattered ranks us monopoly and tlte.fierco
bUgrd hounds of fanaticism. Thus it was
latjßlginia; and thus we may hope it will
bejptipng in Georgia. Tile skies are now
bright, andjupiiftitcning every day. “Not a

Tire general result iit*Virginia as far as
ascertained is as follows : The delegation in
the last Congress embraced 4 Whigs and 11

TO THE DEMOCRATIC PRESS.
We cannot take final leave of tho press

brethren of the democratic press for the
great kindness and assistance received at
their handsduiing our careet, and particu
larly for their kind expressions towards us
since our purpose of retiring was announced;
and it is particularly gratifying to us to see,
in the many notices of the subject which

friends as to tiie policy of the course we
have at times pursued, none question the
integrity of the purpose which actuated us,
or our sincere devotion to the cause of tho
democracy. We need scarcely add that
we deem this generous homage from the
friends of that cause to which we have giv

ENULANO.
Reflection on the tone assumed by the
British Members of Parliament and Presses
in relation to the vexed title of the Oregon
Territory, has only served to increase our
doubts as to the real and ultimate attitude
which that country intends (ooccwpy. On
the one hand, the provocative to all the
sudden electrical phenomena, exhibited in
both Houses ol Parliament, appears to be so
inadequate a cause to produce sneh-as
tounding results, that we are puzzled to
know whether England is playing a pan,
or is in earnest. What was the offence 1
Our new President in his-Inaugural ad
dtess to the Nation, declared that the title of
the Union to Oregon was “cleat and un
questionable’*— a dilatation in consonance
with the general fueling and opinion of
the country—nevertMoubtfed by American
Statesmen—repeatedly asserted by suc
cessive administrations,passed U|>oti by the
Congress, and congmietl by the American
People. And yet British Statesmen siS/.e
upon it as anew and alarming position,and
portentously indicative of a ucw patoXysrn
of Republican thirst for leriitoriol acquisi
tion. The whole proceeding is conducted
with an evident eye to dramatic effect. Tho
subject is broached simultaneously in both
Lords and Commons. The foot-ball is
kicked between Clarendon and Aberdeen,
and Russell, and Peel, and the whole per
fotmance is echoed to, by the “tremendous
applause” of the Auditors. And os if to
give a still more tragic tinge to the whole af
faikJHHtoamer is kept hack by the Minis

MAIL CONTRACTS.
It would appear that the new Post Office
Law is destined to make important changes
in Hie profits of mail carriers, and perhaps
in the mode of travel over the present Stage ;
Routes. Read the following:
Mail contracts. — A most important say- j
ing of public money will be made under the
new post, office law in the diminished ex-1
pense of transporting and regulating the j
mails Under tire old law the Post Office
Department stipulated that the mails, on all ,
the important routes in the country should be \
carried in good comfortable stage coaches, I
which afforded good facilities to the travell- !
ing public. Under the new law, the con
tractors are simply required to forward the
mails in a safe manner, within the time pre
scribed. Under the old law, if an old con
tractor was under-bid, the new contractor
was required to take the property on the line
at an appraisal. Under the new law this
provision is abolished.
The effects of these changes have been
such as to reduce the cost of carrying the
mads 50 per cent, from lortner prices. It
will leave the public to provide their own
means of conveyance, and the old stage pro
prietors to dispose of their stage property in
the best manner they can. The new law
will operate with much more severity upon
the latter classes of men, as it will leave up
on their hands a very large amount of pro
perty for which they can have no use, and
which must be sold at a large sacrifice. A
representation of the injurious operation of
this new provision in tbe law was made to
ilie Postmaster General, and a request that
the old system of letting might he continued,
but he replied that the provisions ol the law
were imperative, and that he liad no discre
tion in the premises.
The office of mail agents has also been
abolished by Mr. Johnson, and thus a saving
of about twenty-five thousand dollars made
to the public. Reform seems to be the order
of the day with the new administration.—

WAR AND RUMORS <9*’ WARS.
The N. Y. Journal of Commetce utters
tiro following sensible thoughts upon the
subject of a probable collision with Great
Britain. We copy only that part of the
article which telutes to the Oregon dispute.
The Journal thinks there is nothing to ap
prehend on the score of Texas.
“ From England thete is atothing to he

But even this must he very badly managed
indeed—much worse than oiirofejfent Ad
ministration will be likely to manage it,—
in order to breed a war. The late declara
tions of Ministers in the British Parliament
were designed, we take it, as an offset in
part of the bullying nonsense which was so
I reely poured forth in our own Congress
during the last session. The Inattgutal of
President Polk, rightly understood, said
nothing on this subject which need be offen
sive to England. He spoke of our tight to
Oregon as being cleat and conclusive, but he
did not say the whole of Oregon. He spoke
of our people going there to settle, as they
have a |*erlcct under the Treaty,
in common wit He spoke
also us the- fui’iffßHHf our Treaty obliga

the temperament of President Polk, if they
suppose he is a political enthusiast, who
rushes to conclusions without regard to con
sequences When they ate better acquaint
ed with him, they will find him cool, reflect
ing, just, yet resolute—a good man to deal
with,'for those who want only what is right,
and are willing to act on the same principle
in return. As to Oregon we must yield
something, and so must England. We can’t
expect to have our extr&iou rights in a case
like this. The ti le of neither party is in
disputable, though we think ours is much
llie best. England seems to be equally con
fident in regard to hers. It is bowser only

so great that multitudes took refuge in the
streets, public squares and gardens, protect

shelters. .Vs the shocks were repeated
there was a rush ofthe half oisitacted peo

was impossible to obtain the attendance of a
quorum of members for the transaction of
business. As late as the Kith inst. great
numbers ofthe citizens had not returned to
town, still fearful of further shocks. We
do not see any mention made of loss of life
ia the capital.
The earthquake would seem to have ex
tended across the country. At Vera Cruz,
Puebla, Morelia, Patzcuaroand other points
it was felt, though at different dates, and in
some ol'tlie Departments the shoeksoccut

We hardly need say that Mexico has not
yet declared war against the U. Stales, nor
is any further intimation given as to the hos
tile operations which Gen. Herrera was said
to have conceived, but the nature of which
he kept particularly quiet. The newspa
pers were occupied as usual with the dis
cussion of the measure of annexation. Mr.
Buchanan’s answer to Sefior AlmonreV
Protest had been received and published. It
served as a hook upon which to hang many
a frothy article, lullof.sound and fury. The
editors talk of nothing but resistance, but we
do not see that a single thing has been done
or even proposed.
Gen. Almonte arrived at Vera Cruz on
the 18111 inst. in the Anahuac, from New
York. He will probably meet Mr. Shan
non on his route to the capital, as the latter
gentleman was on his way down to the
coast,to embark for the-United Stales.

which the river bridge is lighted at night.
It would be very acceptable to many persons
who cross the bridge to have both ends of
