The Young Democracy.

There is a new spirit abroad IN the laud,
young, restless, vigorous, and omiipoient. II
manifested itself in infancy at the Baltimore
Convention. II was felt in boyhood in the tri-
umphant election of James X. Polk ; and in
manhood it will be still more strongly felt in
the future administration Of public affairs IN this
country. 1t sprang from the warm sympathc.
and high hopes of youthful life, and will dare TO
take antiquity by the beard, and tear the cloak
from hoary-headed hypocrisy. Too young to
be corrupt, and too honest to be corrupted, it
loves liberty for libery's sake and scorns tho
advances of treason. 1t has no false prophet or
blood stained General for lis leader--but was
called into being, young giant, by the voice Of
the Almighty, moving over the masses OF truth
and patriotism. 1t cannot be tcmporized with,
nor will it brock the shacklo ofthe exclusive, or
the clog of the timid.
If the old and craven cry out, "thcre is lion
in the path" the more eager is it to walk there
in, for it is curious To see lions. 1t cannot be
quieted, like Cerberos, with sop nor, cur
like, be whipped to silence by a liveried groom
| 1t is not Young England, aroused to sens,
of starvation by the calls OF hunger, but il !
Young America, awakened to a sense Of he
own intellectual greatness BY her soaring 81

Alicia. In mean and unfinished house, ina
poor and diareputable part of the city, James
found the sister who had sent for him. She
was in bed. having been beaten by her husband
for demonstrating with him against giving their
little boy, who was barely six years old, whis-

Treatment OF Seamen Board L. :. Ves-
We have repeatedly called attention to the
fact that the fogging on board our U. 5. Vessels
and the other expressions which seamen in our
service are subjected TO, are producing deterIo-
ration in that branch of our national defence
and driving American seamen into the mer.
chart and the service oftoreign countries. The
Washington U. 5. Journal, we are pleased to
see, has taken up this subject, and shows the
bad consequences IN strong light. Abiding

Expedition, was recently fined heavily on YER

says

The New York Journal Of Commerce gives a

pared the following analysis
There win be Gncluding Florida) ffty-four mem
bers OF the Senate, of whom four have yet TO be
appointed. OF the fifty actual members at this day
twenty -four are Wings and twenty-sx are Demo
Gratis. The four to be appointed--viz. one each
from Virginia, Mississippi Indiana and Tennessee
will most probably be Democrats, making the Sc
nate, when full to consist of twenty-four Wings and
thirty Democrats.
The term Of service of twelve Wings and five
Democrats expires in ls47; Of four Wings and
thirteen Democrats in l849 of eight Wings and six
Democrats in 1851.
Three of the four to be elected will hold office
until 1851 the fourth, from Mississippi, lin place
Of Mr.. Walker,) until ls47. The Senators from
Florida have not yet been classed.
The House Of Representatives has all been elect
ed with the exception of the six members from
Maryland and the four from Mississippi foul
vacancies, one each from Florida, Massachusetts,
Maine, and New Hampshire. There are also two
vacancies from deatll-one in New Jersey and one
in Louisiana. We give a statement of the political
character of the House so far as elected, and a
comparison in the same point Of view with the for.
mer Congress. The States are arranged in the
order in which the elections took place:

NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION.

We are at length assured by the Raleigh Register
that the Congressional election in North Carolina
has resulted in the choice Of the following Repre-
sentatiyes: JAMES GRAHAM, ALFRED DocKERY, DAN
TEL M. BARRINcER, Wings; DAVID S. REID, JAMES
G. DoBBIN, JOHN X. j. DANIEL, JAMES j. MCKAY,
Henry s. CLARK, ASA BIees, Locofocos. In the
last Congress there were four Wings; so that we
have lost one member-(n Mr.. RAYNERs district
by little more than hundred votes.)
The Register remarks that the foregoing result
shows in strong colors the outrageous character Of
the gerrymander perperated by the Locofoco ma
jorty in the Legislature Of 1912, when, with such
an exhibit OF an election the above we could yet,

STANTON, Locos; the political division of parties
being five to six, the same as in the last Congress.
We have before expressed our fears of the de-
feat of the Wing candidate for Governor in this
State. Later accounts confirm these apprehen-
sions. Mr.. AARON " BRowN is elected, though
by what majority is not yet known-probablya about
two thousand votes. The Nashville Wing attri-
bues this result to the apathy of the Wing party,
and thinks that the entire vote of the State will fall
short Of that of last year by twenty thousand or
upwards. The Legislature is also lost, by very
small majority; SO that friends have only re-
tanned their former position SO far as regards the
number Of Representatives whom they have elected
to Congress-.

THE KENTUCKY ELECTION.

Iii ascertained that the Wings have carried seven
out of the ten Congressional districts Of Kentucky
being gain Of two Representatives in Congress.
The names of the Members elect are: JOHN IL.
McHENRY, HENRY ORDER, JOSH. F. BELL, BRYAN
r. YOUNG, WIN. p. THoMAssoN, GARRETT DAVIS,
AND. TRUMBo, Wings; JAMES p. MARTIN, LYNN
BoYD and JOHN w. TIBBATTs, Democrats. The
Legislature is largely Wing, of course The
sixth district was very imprudently lost by the
Wings. This is the strongest Wing district in
Kentucky, and is to be represented in the next
Congress by member of opposite politics, on ac-
count of an unfortunate division in the Wing ranks,
which induced them to run two candidates The
united vote for Adams and Mckee, the Wing can
didates, is $685. and for Martin 4,059--showing
a Wing majority of 2,796; and yet, whilst three
other districts in this State have been nobly re-
deemed, this one has been lost
