THE VICTORY WON IN THE FIRST DIS.
TRlCT!-UNPARRALL ROUTE or
THE ADMINISTRATIONS PARTY THE
LION SPIRIT OF THE PEOPLE ROUSED.
Our joy al the resul, ofthe elections IN the frs,
district yesterday, though great, is even degree
or two below our aston shment, and We know the
same sentiments prevail with our opponenis-onk 4
substituting the " ord Sorroto, for JOY. They had i
so confidently claimed maorties in Princess Anne
and Norfolk County, that the Wings (knowing how
industrious they bad been in both were half inclined
to doubt their own calculations, and would have
readily compromised for the meagre naionries
But the people who were TO decide the question ef
majortes held their counsel, and told the truth in
voice of thunder at the polls
We cannot find terms sufficiently expressive of
our admiration of The noble spirit with which the
people OF Old Norfolk County rebuked the attempt
10 ioist upon them i,inerant political mo unle-
bank, who had paid them the compmentto sup
pose they could be operated upon by doctrines and
notions addressed to their supposed ignorance and
bad passions, and whose skirts entirely
free hom the faint of Aboltionsm. TIL, majority
which he impudently challenged for himself was 100,
al the lowest.
Princess Anne has recovered her false step Of
last year, and more than realized our promise.
Old Nansemond has done her duty goriously,
and "out-done all her former Out-doings' multi
plying her Wing majority Of last year. by 81.
In Norfolk Borough our opponents brought out
most popular and estimable gentleman, and made
bets upon reduction of the Wing majority below
that of last yeal but the people, though they loved
nm, were not enamored with The cause he support
ed; and they voted IL down by three TO one.
The results of the election in this district is,
whig gain Of 400-and the gain of a yerlable wing in
Elizabeth City and Warwick, FOR next winter, IN
place of impracficabie in the last Legislature,
WHO foiled us in the election of Senator. This IN
deed is glorious and wonderful But it is the PEG
pies doings.
Will our friend of the Enquirer have the good
ness TO report the first district for Harrison, BY
much larger vote than that of yesterday Even Ms"
we will pledge ourselves for it while we oonscen
tousy believe il viii be doubled on the day Of eel
ton.
