TIE ELECTION.

VIZ have iriumpAed Lowndes county IS still I'M
corrupted and uhierri6ed. We give below the re-
suit at the different precincts. Il is perfectly
astounding 10 the wings. They hbored hard--la-
bored with zeal and devotion worthy Of better
cause; but in vain. The homes, democracy of the
county proved true to themselves and their pimci-
pies. We have made clear gam of so votes
since the Presidential electonl Tie result Is much
better than we expected; we never calculated upon
a naprity OF more than $50. The Van Buren,
majority over Judge White, last fall, was l37.

EXTRAVAGANCE.

No habit lastcns itself upon us more firmly than
that Of extravaganza. The luxury in which we IN
dulsc this year, becomes next year necessary; we
increase our style oflvng readiIyand often thought
Icssy-but it IS reduced always with difficulty and

Coon rRooF FOR MODERN wHIGs.-The Liverpool
Mail, Staunch British Tory paper, says in every
argument efiecting the national policy of America
and in every view of its necessities, and varied inter-
ests, Mr.. Bddle has been right and Mr.. Jackson
wrong"
In this view Of the subject the Tory paper agrees
precisely with the American Wings, in the reason
why General jackson was enabled to put down MIR.
Biddle's bank. II says:
"Mr. Jackson had the address To gain over to his
side the many rule the tec the rabbte to overcome
the better classes the Ignorant vicious and the I'M
rejecting to sway the intelligent and tile inteectu-
al poEtion of the citizens the minority Of course, in
AMERICA, as in every nation on the face OF the
eaIth.'
This is the insoence with which British Tory
press speaks OF the malority in the United States.
The same spirit pervades the Wing opposition in
this country. They never had any more confidence
in a majority of the people than the British Tories
have. Their aim is now, as II ever has been, 10
crush the many and raise the few.

North Carolina, on tho a9th ult. fun Of years and

public stations, and in all, discharged his duty with
the sternest integrity, never swcrvipg in the slight
est degree from the straight line Of principle and
honesty. lie was, indeed, one Of the purcs, and
best of public servants. Not blot rests upon the
far cscutcheon Of his public character--not charge
Of inconsistency or iaitlcssness to his trust can be
brought against him. But this is not all. He was
not only an able, pure and incorrupuble public
servant but he was OF the best and and kindest
of men--an afiectionate and charitable neighbor--

did not lore him We had the honor Of his ;c-
quainiance. Wehavc met hun at the festive board,
and thought that we saw in HIM the very imperson-

call him, is no Inorcl Let his countrymen, while
they revere his memory, initiate his many virtues.
