THE PEOPLE ROUSED,

THE PEOPLE ROUSED,
Our JOY at the result of the elections in the FIRST
district yesterday, though great, is even degree
o. two below our astonishment. and we know the
same sentiment prevails with our opponents--only
substituting the word Sorrow, for joy. They had
so confidently claimed msjorties ia Princess Anne
aud Norfolk County, that the Wings (>nowing how
industriously they had been in both) half m
clned to doubt their calculations, and would
have really compromised for the most meegre ma
iorlties. But the people who were to decide the
question OF meorities, held their counsel and told
the truth in voice OF thunder at the polls.
We cannot fad Terms sufficiently expressive of
our admiration OF tho noble spirit with which the
people Of old Norfolk County rebuked the attempt
to foist upon them an itinerant political mounte-
bank, who had paid them the compliment to sup
pose they could be operated upon by doctrines and
notions addressed to their supposed ignorance and
bad passions, and whose skirts were not entirely
free from the faint of Abolitionism. The majority
which he impudenty challenged for himself was
l00 at the lowest.
Princess Anne has recovered her false step of
last year and more than realized our promise.
Old Nansemond has done her duty glorousy,
and " out.done all her former out dongs multi
plying her Wing majority of last year, by O.
In Norfolk Borough, our opponents brought out
a most popular and estimable gentleman, and made
that of last year; bat the people, though they loved
h9m, were not enamored with the cause he suppoI-
ted and they voted IL down by three 10 one.

William NJ. Price, late District Attorney, announ-
cling his intention of returning home, in the month
of May, and asking for the appointment of Com
mittee, Of Congress, TO examine his accounts during
the recess. We also saw private letter. to "a

ard expressing the utmost confidence in his being
able TO show that be is no, indebted 10 the Govern.
ment. The ground, for this opinion, We learn,
rests upon some recent decision in a case Of anotl-
err District Attorney, where allowances were made
for certain services, which would leave balance
in favor Of MIR. Price, if applied to his case. APP
pearances certainly are against him. for under no
event should a ctizenAy his country under breach
of public trust, if he possesses any evidence to
show that he is not a defaulter Nevertheless. the
public ear. should never be deaf to explanations,
nor should public opinion condemn without a hear
ing. With strong prejadices against the course Of
Mr.. Ptice, we nevertheless believe that the people
would be glad If he could satisfactorily explain the
causes of his voyage to Europe and exemption
from all censure. His case, aud the case of many
public officers similarly conditioned, should admon-
ish Congress Of tile necessity Of passing laws, not
for the punishment Of defauers, but, Tor compel.
