THE RESULT I'm THIS STATE.


As slowly as the returns come in. and as long as
we have been kept in doubt relation TO the result
in the Fourth and Third Districts in this State, we
have at length heard enough to be enabled to state
positively how the contest has been decided. The
delegation from North Carolina in the Congress
viii stand as follows:

We refer those of our readers who may wish to
make estimates of the losses and gains in the differ
ent Districts, to our tabular statement IN another
column. Wherever the Democrats have regularly
opposed the Whig candidates, it will be seen that
their gains have been immense that Aeg hare cut

proves two things First that number of Democrats,
deceived by professions of no-partyism and lured
away by other means. voted for Taylor; and second

We thought last week that we had good reasons
for claiming the election of Mr.. Lane Mr.Ssan-
lyin the Eighth District but the extraordinary gain
by the latter in Tyrrel changed the expected result
Though defeated, Mr.. Lane has the consolation of
knowing that he has faithfully discharged his duty
and those lion-hearted Democrats who sustained him
amid obloquy, misrepresentation. abuse, and rdcule,
may point with exutaton the fact that the Taylor
majority has been reduced ONE THOUSAND, and that
the gallant Stany fas-over three hundred
behind Mt. DonnelI's majority. Perseverance leads
to victory ..as.

Reports received this morning friday leads US
to the conclusion that Stanly is elected by major
ty of Sc votes.
While we cheerfully submit to the will of the ma
jority, ii is painful TO reflect that defeat is attr
butable onrselvesto those preessediy acting arih

Wayne county has had it in her power to elect
their man, but unfortunately, when too late they find
this out, and left for two longer to lament
their apathy and want of zeal, in contest which
held out to them certain victory. .f
To those OF Wayne, who stood firm and unmoved
in the hour of trial great praise is due. Many,
know, despaired of success, when they contemplated
the large majority against which he had to contend;
and some we are sorry TO say, remained silent, while
others, regardless of their and their partys in
terest, actually voted against But notwithstand-
ing the fact that the Wings have elected their man,
yet they deny that Democratic principles
rapidly gaining ground and are tending to ultimate
triumph. In this District where Taylor received
1921 majority, and DonneIl 369 the eIoguenf Stanly
reduced to the pitul minority only So. This fact is
itself gives inexpressibe satisfaction, and admonish
es to waif with patience the event which is des-
tined to place this district in the hands of the Deno
cracy. Perseverance leads to victory.
