MIR. Boyden is a new member, andthe Register
appears to- think he will create a considerable
noise about Washington. That paper delivers
the following precious norsel on the subject:
"In the Salisbury District Mr.. Boyden is elect
ed by large majority. Mr. B. is man of pow
erfu intellect, and ought 10 be made Chairman of
some Committee, appointed to investigate abuses
or corruptiOn, aud We hope he will be-. He can
neither be Influenced by fear or favor and all the
StO will
to bend or break his purpose. He is emphatcaIIy
an honest, firm, and independents man, and wall
make himself known to the country before he has
been long in Congress- r.f,sg sd os. a}
I" Think of that, Master Brook" EIe ought
TO be made Chairman of some Committee on
abuses and corruption; but what shall be done,
good Mr.. Register, in case the ensuing Congress
should not think it exPedient TO or ganize such a
CommiItee2 Would you have the . corruption

how your F" Caucus" pet would knock things

and wisdom will all die with the Registerl ;
The above District was Raynermandered for
the purpose of putting a Federalst in Congress

Mr.. Barringer was member Of the last Con-
gress, and was also remembered and we'll taken
care Of by the famous Raynermander. The De-
mocrats OF this District voted as matter of COM
plimcnt, for that sound and distinguished Repub-
lican, Walter F. Leake, of Richmond county. n

MIR. ShePPerd is an old member, but has been
out OF the harness for several sessions last past
He was opposed by Junius L. Clemmons, ESQ of

cordial thanks Of the Democracy for the ability
and eloquence with which he has conducted the
campaign ..ia .. = n g. zHf 81 ,Gul-.ssd
This Districtswas also Raynermanlered, for the
purpose Of putting in Federaiist and turning out
that honest public servant, the Hons DayidsS
Reid, OF Rockingham. s -T
5. ABRAHAM w. VENABLE-Den,ocrat.
This was one of the Districts which the Federal
lists pretended to eoneede to the Democrats under
the Raynermander, but the result has shown how
much faith should be placed in their professions
of honesty aud fairness. They run one Of their
ablest men against Mr.. Venable and resorted to
all sorts of tricks to defeat him; but they failed
This was the District which the Register fondly
hoped would make number screen for the Feds
Mr.. Venable is a new member, and we predict
for him brilliant and useful career in the House
of Representatives. E.'- 'a' '-'t..'

gress. His competitors were, Mr.. Arlington Of

pendent Taylor Democrat - "s '@'t
This District was also Raynermandcrcd, and
tremendous Democratic majority piled up, for the
purpose Of producing just what occurred-discord
and divisions in the Democratic ranks

known TO the country as the able Chairman Of the
Committee Of Ways and Means He was Opposed

8. RICHARD S. DONNELL-FederoHse. ..
Mr. DonDell is, a. new member. His competitor
was William K. Lane, Esq. of Wayne County,
of whose election we had some hope few days |
since. 1t must be gratifying to Mr.. Lane TO know,
that he run ahead of Mr.. DonnclI in his own
County, Craven and that throughout The District

Six Federalists and three Democrats-iust the |
allotment under the Raynermander, with the secret
hope on the part Of the Feds to gain one member,
which they pretended to concede to u.s. The De. |
mocrats have done as well as they expected, and
the Feds no better than the law allowed them to
do for the former counted confidently on but three
members, while the latter felt certain that the
