AS to these two counties, have To state the follow,

OF Voters there at S0i. The Chesterfield

have examined the lists OF which have been actual

case, in the very heat of severe contests the vote IN
considerably short of these estimates.
For eyamplc-Tic votes poled upon the adoption n
the Constitution itself in 1880, were as follow:
In brunswick, for ratifying 3S2-rcjectng 27-tota

In October, 1880, (he first election under the now
Sonsttution in Chesterfield we're contest etween
Dranch and Old for the Senate, the was b. 5I5-

In Brunswick the vote averaged but 4O5
In the April Election of 1892 there was no opposition
in either county PF''"
In 1888, in very contest in Brunswick for Com
gress, between Dromgoole and Gholson both res;Jen
OF that county, the vote G75.

 Verify, we have stirred up quite com motion in the milk-pan. We should like to know what " storInn the editor of the Ga. zette sees ia the horizon now. He seems to fear the stirring up of the elements, ant or not he ought to fear. Earthquakes and tempests seem to reel in his crazy imagina- ton, and he Is manifestly much concerned. Perhaps he anticipates the danger which the " storm might bring to the already totter- ing fabric of the ill-eemented power of his party. We beg the party's pardon for call ing it his party. We wish he would inform us in what part of the article to which he refers, his keen vision discovered the yio- lence and ribaldry of which he so grievously eonplains2 His stomach has become some what delicate of late. Some months since, he was not so squeamish. We congratu- late hun on his reformation. No man need- ed 1t more.
 The old accusation has come up again. Te thought 1t consigned to the tomb of the Capulets. This paper is again the acknowledged organ of a reckless faction, headed by Robert Cnttenden." If We were asked, what is a faction! our answer would certainly describe 1t to mean horde of speculators and graspers after money and to.sr.sifei tsie latter because i, ls;i lss;;it 10 the former-regardless of the will or n- terests of the people. and holding in sub ieetion drilled corps of office holders in every county, to further their uneonscien- tious ends. This we should take 10 be a faction. Does he know any thing of any combination of the kind Does he know any thing. of an amalgalnation of about half dozen men of every creed in politics all shaded by the broad mantle of Jackson ism, which, like charity, covers multitude of sins? If he does, he has i'll his eye a arockless faction.o The changes have been rung on this word faction so long, that the exclusive right of using 1t seemst to.

We take the following notice of leslsr of Mf. sevier, from tho Nashville Bannef of June l9. It will be seen that the editor of that paper inagines that SevieriSm and Johnsoaisns will not be very recommenda- ble or praiseworthy qualifications in Judge; however great their merit may seehi ii. the eyes of the Delegate and the Gazette.
 Judge Lccg.-The following Is an ex- tract of a letter from tAe Hon. X. H. Seyier, the Delegate in Congress from Arkansas, to the Editor of the Little Rock Gazette, dated Washington, May 18th. Judge Lacy has now left this city, in an infirm state of health however, and IS on his way to the Territory. Our friends of the Gazette and of the Ad- Yocate, wifi not find hilfl disposed on his ar- rival, as we have reason to know, to take any part in local oy party politics. The isms of which Mir. Sevier speaks would not be esteemed very becoming qualifications in a Judge in this State, however much they might serve 10 recommend him in Arkan* sas.

It will naturally be expected oi Us, thai

Ii will naturally be expected oi IS, thai xve should not pass unnoiieesi the day Of our national independence. Aud what have we to sayl We could only express the ye-= " feelings whieh afe formed in every bo- som, though not expressed by every tongue. 1t is not to be imagined that on this day, the feelings of one man are better aFld b,icbtor than those of siRether. The saHe yafriotism burns in every breagt, and all greet the recurrence of this anniversary, with the same ardor. II Is our great festi- val, and we regard t as mark of our su- periority that tbs day is celebrated for a reason so much more exalted than that which Causes the celebration of any day III the freest kingdom of Europe. The great festival to an Englishrnan, is not as ours, the celebration of the day of I.lberty's birth in the land. They make jubilee for the defeat and crushing of the gunpowder plot-a day on which pedantic King and his trucking Parliament were saved from death. The greatest which ever occurs there, is the coronation, when the people render themselves to hereditary monarch. Ne stand upon higher ground, for we celebrate a far nobler event. When the very memory of all England's festivals and iubilees shall have passed away like the thin shadow of cloud; forgotten, lost, even as the events commemorated, still, We would fondly hope, viii this day be hailed by ex- ulting mllions-men whom the earth with her multitudes could not chain down or letter with the gilded bonds of slavery.
 We do not intend to say much on this subject We cannot inspire patriotism for ours is no more than equal to that of each of our readers-we cannot instruct them in their duties, for that were presump- ton. But in every difficulty let us remem- Der that our appeal and our cry should be to the Constitution To the Constitution stand by itin all emergencies--for it is the sheet anchor of our Liberty--and the more the storm thlekens, the more truly does i become our only safety. Let it be guarded and defended as we defend our lives and our honor--and let our last gasp be fol Liberty and Union.

After lsng and tedious investigation, the House of Representatives yesterday deter mined that it could not determine whether Mir. LEToHER or Mir. MOORE was entitled to the contested place in the representation, in that body, from Kentucky; and the elec- ton IS turned back 10 the People. Mir. LETcHER was yesterday within three votes of obtaining the seat; and if the members detained from the House by illness could with safety have attended, he would have actually been admitted to the seat, to which (now the question is ended) we feel bound to express our belief that he was justly en- titled, according to the decisions of the House itself.
