NORTH.CAR0LlNA ELECTION.
The Result.

We have received returns sufficient 10 sat.
isfy US tina, we have lost every thing-the
Governor, Senate and House of Commons,
and North Carolina, for the first time in a.
bout / 5 years, will be completely under Lo.
co Foco rule in 1851 and if the party does
no. &C, differently from wha: is there usual
course in other States, those who aided in
placing it in power will have serious cause
to regret their agency. "Sufhcieni unto
the day is the evil thereof" The last Raj.
eigh Register has the following remarks
on our defeat,
1.-THE past, however, is beyond our control.
Time wasted or time perverted, though re.
GREETED ever, can never be recalled. Every
action, now, of The opposition, is pregnant
with admoniion to the Wings; and, if we
are not much mistaken, those very Wings,
who have contributed 10 put that opposition
into power, will yet have to assist 10 stay the
torrent Of msrule and ruin which threaten.
to sweep over North Carolina. If we are
not much mistaken, they may yet be called
upon to prerent (instead Of promoting) oc
currences, under the destructive tendencie'
Of Loco Foco sway, which they would b'
willing 10 wash from the journals Of the STATE
even with the best blood in their veins. II
those Wings, also, who have remained list
less and Indifferent, relying upon the good
ness Of their cause, the result Of the recen
Election brings warning and teaches les
son. Do we not know tina; even hell is pa
we'd with good intentions p and that The price
Of liberty is eternal vigilance? Once more
then, let Us all, discarding past differences
marshal our clans, reform our serried ranks
and, with our hands upon the common alta
of our Wing faith, swear never TO remit GU
exerlions in behalf of the Country, I'll "
have undone the unhappy work Of our ow
doing until not one Of the enemy is left to
battle. The administI niion Of such man q
REID, based upon the .disorg anzns Doctrine
of North Carolina Loco Focoi.m, fuI
nish US with the means Of its own dsstruc
lion. We will only have 10 "iet loose Il
oun acts upon il, and like the hounds Of Az
tea, they Gill destroy a."

As we expected, already has the Raleigh
Standard began to charge The result oil Inc
Wing defea, to opposition TO MIR. Clays Com
promise and their decided appreciation OF the
Southern Convention and the conduct oil The
ul,raist at The South. Now, il there was one
lhinr ws desired more than any other, II was
;ha, ;hosa getiers up Of the excitement at the
South might not have one ray from North
Carolina 10 encourage them IN their mad
schemes. Yet we have been disappointed.
II is we'll known, however, that the SUBJECT
of the Southern Convention has not been
brought fairly before the people so as 10 make
them quit their party organization Tor we
are well ASSURED that many Democrats IN this
county voted for Reid who are as much op
posed to the Southern Convention as we are.
Yet the effect is, and the result has Keen so
claimed by our opponents, as opposition to
Wing policy. !, is to be regretted that Wings
aided and abetted in their own defeat. To
them is chargeable all the disasters tina, now
befa us as party. They have accomplished
it by suffering mere prejudice, chickering's IN
several counties, aud the want Of party or.
pauizalion in others to do the work. The
Injury that will be sustained by Wing piIn-
ciples from our defeat is lncalculable. North
Carolina was looked upon by the country os

PATRIOTIC REJoICINGS.

The rejoicings in Washington on the night
Of the 7th inst, are described as follows BY the
National Inteigencer:
The general Joy diffused through all classes
at the final passage by Congress Of the measures
which will restore harmony and peace to the
country, manifested itself in a most singular
manner in our city on Saturday evening and
night. Soon after the passage, on Saturday, Of
the last of the acts of compromise by the House
of Representatives, preparations were made to
testify the public Joy. Accordingly, about sun
set the cannon of the Columbia Artillerists, un-
der Capt. Buckingham, were drawn to the
Washington Monument Square, and one hun>
dred guns were fired in honor of the occasion.
But the demonstration of the public feeling
did not stop there. About o'clock there was
handsome display of fire rockets thrown into
the air from the Mall, east of Seventh street. A
vast body of our citizess then formed into pro-
cession, marched to the National Hotel with the
Marine Band. and there played several national
airs, and loudly cheered in honor of Mr.. Clay,
who, being absent from the city at Mr.. Calvert's
country residence, could not respond 10 the COM
pliment thus intended for him. The National
Hotel was, however, brilliantly illuminated in
honor of the great event, and of the distinguish
ed Statesman whose patriotic labors, and those
of his noble coadiutors in the counsels of the ma
ton, had on that day been brought to happy
and glorious consummation. After the process
sion had visited the National Hotel, they march
ed to Mrs. Peyton's clearinghouse, and called
out Senator Foote, who responded in brief and
felieitous speech Leaving Mr.. Foote, the pro-
cession halted at the Potomac House, where
they paid similar compliment to Mr. Sena tor
Cass, who, amidst loud cheers, appeared and re-
sponded to the visiters 10 very felicitous man.
ner.
The procession then marched to Gadsbys Ho-
tel, and after few patriotic airs from the band,
called out Mr.. Speaker Cobb, who addressed
the people in q very happy manner, congratu-

calculating Northern brethren will see, in the
admission of new non-saveholding States, a
means ofrelieving their tender consciences from
responsibility for the sin OF slavery.
We think it more than probable that there
will be twelve new States added to the confeder.
acy in six years.
1t proposed in Michigan to divide that State
and the location of her territory would make il
avisable to do so; and some have suggested that
Long Island might be detached from New York
and made State.
We must close, with the regret that we have
not limits to pursue the subject further We
think that all will admit that there is strong ground
for the position we assumed But what differ
ence does few years make. The territory is
there; it will be populated; tits capable ofmaking
25 for non-saveholding States, and when but a
third of that number are formed, here will be a
two,thirds majority in Congress lostile to slave-
ry.
Now, we ask those who charge Southern men
with ultralsm, to reflect on these things; and we
think that they will agree with us.that all that
is necessary TO make the prospects of the South
ern States gloomy in the extreme, is for them to
sink beneath contempt by shrinking from the
position they have assumed,

THE UKIoN.-The day after the passage Of
the Texas oil in the House, the Washington
papers congratulated the country in enthusias-
| tic terms on the auspicious event The Intel
ligencer speaks thus under the head of ''Thc
Country Safe:"
Our readers will, one and all, we are sure,
learn with the same heartfelt qualification that
we announce it, the fact Of the passage by the
House Of Representatives, yesterday, of the
Senate bills TO settle the Texas boundary and
establish a territorial Government for New
Mexico-the two having been consolidated in
one bill BY the House.
The passage of these important measures
will satisfy all reasonable men of every section,
and give peace and quiet to the country. The
bills were passed by small majority, it is true,
but the scant majority was no test Of the true
sense Of the House. For il was remarked, by
a sagacious member, after the vote was an
nounced. that he had no doubt the result gave
Joy to at least four-ffths OF the members Of the
House.
Our hearts are too full of a sense of iov on
this event for anv comment upon it to-day
When Decatur was bearing down on the
her. an officer came up and said, "Sir, the men
wish TO cheer" 'Let them take the ship, and
then cheer" said he. Now. then, friends all!
Three times three cheers for the Union Of the
States, and those who have, in the Councils os
the Nation, gallantiy stood by it!
The Union says:
The scene shifts again, and we have now the
pleasure Of stating one of the most important
facts we have ever announced. The bill has
passed the House, and it is our severe convic-
ton that bY this measure the Union is saved.
The Republic will now enjoy tranquility and
peace. Fanaticism is disappointed and defeated.
The Wilmot proviso is condemned by both
Houses of Congress. Peace is restored to our
frontiers on the Rio Grande, and the boundaries
Of Texas will be adjusted. We congratulate
our countrymen on the passage yesterday Of
Mr.. Boyds amended bill. which at the same
time regulates the boundaries of Texas and
organizes territorial government for new
Mexico, divested of the Wimot proviso. The
amended bill will no doubt pass the Senate.
The Utah bill will pass the House; the Calfor-
mia bill will, in all probability, be adopted; and
we trust and believe that the fugitive slave bill,
to carry out the solemn guarantees of the con-
sttutlon, will meet the concurrence of the rep.
resentatves Of the people, We rejoice because
the Union is saved, because the country is pre-
served from dscord and restored to peace. We
rejoice because this unfortunate controversy,
which has alienated brother from brother, and
the North from the South, is about TO be settled.
Our free, federal government will resume its
influence over the civilized world. and receive
that confidence from all foreign nations TO which
it is justly entitled; and at home our prosperity
will take new spring, and our country will
go on to achieve that high destiny which gra-
cious providence seems to have reserved to the
United States.

From the N. o. Bulletin
THE FUGITIVE SLAVE BILL.

THE FUGITIVE SLA II BILL.
In the debate on this bill in the Senate, on
the 18th, the old complaint was brought for
ward against South Carolina and Louisiana,
as regards their laws forbidding the entrance
of free negroes into their States. The most
unfounded statements were made as TO the OPP
Grafton OF those laws and the extent to which
they were enforced. These statements were
brought forward on the strength of letter
from some sea Captain, for whose correctness
Senator Winthrop, however, who produced it.
would not vouch. This letter stated that there
had been 1900 cases in New Orleans, in which
free negroes had been thus imprisoned, 500 in
Charleston and 300 in Savannah. Mr.. Soule
said the statement was false as regards New
Orleans, Mr.. Butler made the same declaration
as regards Charleston, and Mr.. Berrien as re-
cards Savannah. Mr.. Soue gave full and
excellent defence of the Jaw, and justified it
both constitutionally and as necessary mea-
sure of protection, and spoke of the leniency
with which the law was enforced there. This
latter fact is perfectly notorious in New Or
leans, and it is but seldom that we hear of any
action under this law, though free negroes are
constantly arriving in vessels and steamboats,
The law, in fact, is generally held in reserve
for extreme cases where it becomes necessary
to enforce it, and is neither oppressive in its
operation as it is administered, nor do we hear
of any complaints on the subject
But the best part of this debate was when
Senator Douglas, Of Illinois, rose and took
part in it. This State, it win be recollected,
would not trust to Legislative enactments on
the subject, but incorporated provision in her
constitution positively prohibiting forerer, any
free negroes from entering or settling within
her territories. Mr.. Douglas challenged the
Senators Of Massachusetts to try the issue
