BEHOLD THE TRIUMPH.

In 1910 the Wings carried this State by $4,000
majority; in 1912 by 5000; in 1874 by over 5000;
and in ls4G by 5000. We speak in round numbers,
deeming it necessary to count the fractions. Nonc

has any majority at all-is tn Neutrality-suspicious. in

personally, that this glorious triumph has been won.
gentleman in every sense of the word-a man OF
high character, with influential connections-we in
formed in politics. skilled in controversy, of ardent
temperament, and eloquent in debate, he drew about
him hosts of friends; and calculations were made
when the campaign opened, and as 1t progressed,
that he would lead his competitor by from eight to
ten thousand majority. But the weight he had to
carry was too heavy for him to bear. Mexican Pre-
ambles-oppostion to the country in the midst of a
common war-the odious Re-Districting bill-oppo-
sition to Equal Sufrage-and Taylorism with no
principles these were weights which no man could
have carried triumphantly through the contest. He
has seen the Wing party broken up and broken down
under his lead that is what the Wings will remem-
ber, and for which they will upbraid him. No mat
ter if ,ve acquit him of all blame-the Wings will
not. RencetorM they are doomed. Cass and Butler
will sweep the State in November, and Federalism
will then die out for good and ALL in North Carolina
For the last week we have been so much engaged
in looking results in various Counties, and In cal
cuating votes-in hearing good news, and in impGrt
ing good news to friends, that We have had but
little time to write. When the result is fully and
definitely known, we may have more to say but we
cannot allow another week to pass, without thanking
our gallant standard-bearer, Col Reid, for the bril-
liant triumph he has been instrumental in achieving
Most faithfully, most ably, and most eloquenty has
he performed his uOhOk duty in the contest. With
good cause, with sound principles to sustain him,
with various operating in his behalf and with
the aid of many faithful and indomitable party
friends, he has done more for the Democratic
in the space of two three months, than had been
performed before for years. Other champions had
met the expectations of the Democracy and had ac-
quilted themselves well any party could desire;
he has rolled up results-he has given the finishing
blow to Whiggery in North Carolina. Let him, then,
be in ' our flowing cups freshly remembered" He
has won his honors nobly, and he twill wear them

The New York Express, in noticing the North

General apathy has commanded the Wing forces
in the Old North State, and part of the Loco forces
also. You will see falling off on both sides, but

An "illiberal system sis it! Why in the late
canvass, Mr.. Express, we were told by the Wing
leaders, that if succeeded in abolishing this ' il
liberal system ~ we should ruin the State and when
called upon the people to come forward, and take
steps to establish, by Constitutional enactment
equality in political rights among free white men,
we were called demagogues, and charged with ap-
