RECENT ELrcTioNs. Politicians have very
naturally looked forward with great deal of in
terest to the termination of the special elections
for members OF Congress-, in those States
whose representation ceased will the late session.
Especially has this been the case, with respect to
VIRGINIA From this State we hive already pub
lshed the result, which shows very crafty
inr victory for the democratic Wings The op-
position party affect entire satisfaction with this
result, which we confess, does give us some sur
prise. How they can feel much satisfaction with
a loss of two members of Congress, and two State
Senators, and with both branches of the Legs
lature against them, is really more than our phi
losophy can acsount for, unless it be upon the
principle of gratitude " thatit is no worse for
them But at the last fall election, were
threatened with a " clean sweep ' thorough
revolution" at their ncrt trial According 10 the
:. venerable Richie nothing TO remain of
whiggery after the next election. But Is 1t so =
Was ever g whiggery as they call lt--so trl-
umphant2 And all this too, when our friends
in the !" old Dominion were torn with divisions,
and in mnny districts unwarrantabiy remss III
coming TO the polls. This will undoubtedly serve
as lesson TO our friends in that State, and should
not pass unnoticed in other States. The same
causes existing else where, mag produce result
that we should shudder TO contemplate, however
legitimate 1t should remind the Wings otMaine,
that q Union, harmony and mutual concession =
the means by which our brilliant political revoln-
ton was brought to pass, must still be our watch
words, if we would retain our high position,


The returns from Kentucky, so far as we have
seen are as favorable, could be hoped, We
shall soon be able to lay before urreaders perfect
returns Meanwhile, there can be no doubt of
our maorities in Congress.
