7,h district. Nathaniel ~ Claiborne, re- elected
whou, opposition Mr.. c. was formerly classed
with The Jackson Van Buren, party, and we have
no reason to believe that in this respcc, his orn-
ions have undergone any change. We infer that
he is orroscd TO both Modification and Secession
from the fact tina, his constituents are known to be
decidedly so
Sih lstric.-Ihnrp 4. ViSc, elected by con-.
siderable majority over Richard Coke. r the late
Incumbent. Mr. wise isqu,e young man, and
W. believe that this is his first appearance public
lc. He is sail to possess fine talents, and, jahg-
| iag from some ofthe productions of his pen, the
assertion is well-lounded He calls himself Sc.
eedcr but he so restricts and limits the exercise of
the right MS 10 deprive it of most of the features
! which render it peculiarly obnoxious to tts. tie
IS ofthc Jackson-yan Buren, fui,h Mr. Coke, his
opponent, is a Nullifycr.
9th district William p Toglor, elected by
considerable majority over John J. Reane, the late
member. Ba,s gentlemen were originally snpror.
ters of Gen Jackson. Mr. Rome. NC believe. IN
the late split Of parties, adhered TO the Van Burn
divison--Mr Taylor TO the Calhoun We pre-.
sumo thn, Mr.. Taylor may be classed with the
Secc'lers, n little tinSed with Modification. With
! Mr.. Ghoson. he was member the Cbarottcs
vile Convention, which nominated Judge Barb-il
as Vice President, in oppositior',o the Van Buren,
ticket in Virginia
: ItcT,f 1
very small maloriiy over John Taliaicrro Mr.
! Chinn's politics, like the grade of his intellect,
seem to be conectural with all parties Former.
" mensScr of the great Jackson Republican par.
~ i. is now doubtful whether he continues his
connection with il, or Il he has dissolved ii, with
what party he hereafter intends to act We sus.
pee however, that he may be claimed by the
Anti Nulbtycrs and Anti scceders.

Il considerable majority oyer The Attorney. Gcneral,
. John Robcrso on We had never entertained a We.
ry exalted opinion of tho intellect Of Mr. Stevenson
regarding it as rather snowy and brilliant than so
I'd and profound. But we confess that. in tl,i,
particular, he has risen in our esteem, since the at
/ pearancc Of his excellent Letters on the Right of
Secession. Those Letters, in our humble opinion
! 'irniShu f,llhiul outline Of our constitutional
chart. and u true exposition nf The rights and du
ties appclsaiulng tbs cral parties to the com

j IS The INT agent Of those parties. We therefore
/ rejoice at his election, because. in eur opinion,
great principles were lnsoIvcd in the contest, " ich

rejoice that the Metropolitan dstrc, has sds-
ialned, by triumphant vote, the cause OF the Con
s'it'nlon and OF the hly Union formed by the
wisdom o. our fathers, under the special guardian

wing which Secession furnishes for all those who
, espouse the principles of Notification, but who
have not moral courage enough TO assume the mp.
pellation Of Nui,itycr Many votes were thrown
away IN Mr. Cts district npon persons not candI-

by small majority DR.. r. G. Mason, Mr.
Mercer was warm friend Of Mr. Clay ut the las
election as I've WAS OF Mr.. Adams in the preceding
contest He is opposed to the modern hereses o'

visionary in his schemes and always enthusiastic
in whatever he undertakes. lie is, however,
valuable rep,, sentative and ii affords us pleasure
