From the same, April 28.
The Intelligence from Virginia continues highly
favorable. A letter from Baltimore gives the Whig
members, as far as heard from, 49 to 14 Van Bu
ren in 51 counties. This is indeed gratifying, and
will give the Whigs a decided majority in the Leg
islature, should the other portions of the State do
no better than they did last year. The numerical
gain of the Whigs ha3 also been very large. We
are indebted to our attentive friends of the Rich
mond Whig, for a slip dated Monday, which gives
the details from a large number of counties. In
fact, the news of last night has settled the politi
cal character of Virginia, to our mind at least
But as the ireneral result will be known in a few
days, wc forbear from any thing like exultation.

The following resolutions were adopted by
the State Convention of the friends of Harri
son and Tyler, winch met in Harrisburg on the
22d of February, 18-10.
" Resolved, That whenever the opponents of
Martin Van Buren, in the several Uongression-
,'eral C

nated an Elector or Electors, and received froni
such nominees a pledge to vote for WILLIAM
HENRY HARRISON of Ohio, as President,
and JOHN TYLER of Virginia, as Vice Pres
ident, the name of such Elector or Electors,
and the pledge of said Electors, bo forthwith
foiwarded to the State Committee.
Resolved, That it shall be the duty of the
Stale Committee to publish a correct Electoral
Ticket, so soon as the same shall have been
finally adjusted by the set eral districts."
As several of the Congressional Districts
have not yet reported the names of their candi
dates for Electors, and as it is of much import

Resolved, That ive proudly recognize WIL
LIAM PENNINGTON, our Governor, as one
of the Young Menjof New Jersey: a just, con

flexible patriot : a Worthy son of an honored
sire ; and that in His whole course, in relation
to the late Congressional election, he nobly and
fully discharged th? highest duty of a citizen
and a magistrate, iij acknowledging the supre
macy of the laws, awl yielding implicit obedi
ence to their comnjands ; and that by his firm

insulted honor of the State, he has secured a
hold upon our confidence, esteem and support,

To the Moderator of the Downingville Conven
tion. Respected Sir I got here yesterday safe
and sound and as happy as a clam at high wa
ter. My journey from Washington to this place
would take about a quire of paper to describe,
so I wont underteke it ; but never was a man
had such a time, it was one etarnal hurrah
from the time 1 crossed the Potomac till I struck
the Ohio. 1 didn't care the first go off to let
folks know who I was and where 1 was a go
ing : but one chap looked into my hat andsefr
ing my name, stept up to me at the dinner table
and asked me if 1 Avas 'Jack Downing.' 1 tell
ed him when 1 was a boy folks called me 'Jack;1
but when I riz in the world I was enlitled to
be called John Downing. " Well," says he
"are you Major Downing V " Jist so," says I
Is that your ax," says he, " lashed under
that bundle I " It is," says I. ' That's enuf,
says he ; and out he went and from that time
till I got here I needed noitherhard money or
paper currency ; there varnt a stage or tavern
that would let me pay a cent ; and if I could
have eaten all tho " Barbaqus," offered me I
guess I would'nt want to eat agin for a consid-
erable spell.
I don't think there is any use in keeping the
Convention together at Downingville after you
get this letter ; the work rs pretty nigh done
There is only one notion now all through this
