The result of the recent election in Virginia has been the subject of frequent comment by the newspaper press of the country. The election of Mr. Letcher, the democratic candidate, by a reduced majority, is looked upon by some as indicative of the dissolution of tho party at no distant day. No substantial reason has been given for this opinion, nor | do we believe that any exists. "NYe are not j wedded to any party, merely because it is a party. Correct principles, with men of honesty ami capability, have ever "received our' support, and should h&VV thg otippoH of CVft- ; ry patriot. The principles of the democratic Jparty are too well understood to require explanation or elucidation. Under party uses they may have been abused, but arc not the less entitled to support on that account. The Mri^th is, it is the only constitutional party of Hhe country. Southerners can act with no other party. It is true, tho South should not be blindly tied on to any party, hut wo cortuinlv nnn aft'nr<l to travel a?ii.oa1..ao It is useless and worse thou folly to decry the principles of the democratic party unless the South is ready to set up for herself.? There is uo immediate probability of this.? Then wo are uot listening to the wisdom of friends when they assail our principles. The assaults of enemies, emanating either from know nothings or black republicans, should be alike unheeded. If tho South is in danger, and we believe sho is, let her prepare to defend herself?not by abusing and deriding the principles that must govern her if hide* pendent, but by strengthening herself by union at home and devotion to correct principles.
