Virginia Election.
The news we have received in addition
to what we published rsterday, shows
that the democracy of Virginia are, as u_
Dual,unswerving in their attachment to
true principlt a. We learn from the Globe
that Hon. John W. Jones (Dem.) has beat
en the Hon. John M. Botts (W.) in the
Richmond (6th) district; William Lucas
(Dem.) has beaten Faulker (W.) in tho
Frederick ( 10 th)districl; Gz.-orge C. Drom
goole (Dem.) is elected w:thout serious
opposition in the Brunswick (2nd) di•trici;
and Chilton (W.) is elected in the Loudon
(9th) district.
From our information from the State be
fore the electior; and from the partial re
torus now received, we think the congres
sional delegation will stand as follows:
Democrats 11
Whigs 3
Tyler (Wise)
The Democrats in Wise's dishier, it is
expected, a i 7 l,vt,te for him to a n an; and,
if they do, he will be elected.
From partial returns a hich the Whigs
have received from two counties—Spatt-
Sylvania and Catoline—they expert to de
feat the R M. T. Hunter (dem.) in the
Caroline (Sth) district, with W. Newton
(W.) We don't believ e it; ad !bitting the
partial returns received to be correct,—
The Whigs seem to have f"rgntt• it that
King and Queen, and Ring (both
Democratic Counties ) at e in the Sth dis'
trict.
„The vote in the State appears to be full
in the cities and along the railroads, and
thin in the interior. By the Virginia con•
atitution, a man can vote in any and every
- county where he owns land, or may have
a deed for it, whether he is a lona fide ow.
ner or not. This enables cno man to vote
in six of seven counties near Richmond;
and the whips appear to have availed them
selves ofit as far as they could at this elec
doh. They started a railroad car from
Richmond as anon as the whip had voted
there, loaded with voters, to vote in Hano
ver, Caroline, Spottsylvania. Louisa, Staf
ford, and other counties. This floating or
railroad vote, has probably gained them two
delegates to the State Legislature—one in
Hanover, and one in Caroline.
We annex all the returns that we find
in the Washington papers of Saturday,

There are five other counties in the dis

overcome the above Whig majority, if, in,
deed they can reduce it tiny. This is the
strongest Whig district in Virginia.

This is about as just a sentiment as ev, r
appeared in type. The people of Guadam

theta are no doubt thousands of people in
Philadelphia who are now in the most in

The friends of Mackenzie also circulate

Great R=ot In Boston. ,
Ah,,u- 21 o'clock on Thursday mornin7,4 great
riot erurred in Meem,- in relation to the posses.
sion of Ur e- ' . Bowdoin E-tate," which is of .isn
mense value, and has occasioned much litigation
of late. It is a sort of "disputed territory,"
claimed on ona part by Bowdoin college. (Me.)
as a testamentary bequest, and on the other loy
c..rtain heirs who deny the claim of the college.
The c9:lege, to protect their rights, fortified. the
disputed territory by the erection of a formidable
fence around it. acd a carpenter's shop in the c.en•
tre as a fort. The Boston claimants have been for
months eyeing this citadel arid the broad handy
around it with mischievous eyes.
On Thursday mlrning, the 'Times'states that
Mr. Amos Cutting of that ei'y, agent for the cs.
tracized heirs arose right early, sad summoned to
his aid a band of gallant troop, 250 in number: all
sturdy mechanic. of Boston. The• whole body
then proceeded to the premises. Caring gave
the signal. and after 'a brie f interval, during - which
the crashing of boards, the creaking of posts, and
th e cheers of the men, broke upon the earl., the
stockade was levelled and the two building, with
in torn down completely. Of course the
harmed all the neighbothood•
The building♦ destr. yed were the property of
Mr. Wpod, a contractor, who had—posse...kw, of
the estate tinder the authority or Ihwdoin(lnliage.
The decisive act of Mr. Citthng was for the per.
pose of testing the legality of tile. Bow 'Oirt college
claim,and it will, of course, coma tinder the jai..
mediate action of the law. In the mere/time the
affair ha. created no little 'excitement all atalut
the city, and a tremendous hubbub in .the locality
where it occurred.
P . S.--The Times adds, the persons employed
by Mr. Coning now held possession of the around
