THE TRIUMPH,

Mr.. HoL DEN: Now that the smoke has cleared
away the war dogs called n the din of battle hushed
and the victory decreed it is a suitable time to ex-
change congratulations.
Upon all of those issues which you so confidently
predicted the Democracy would triumph, they have
sure enough won the days and upon ose positions,
they have signally failed. Nothing else could have
been seriously expected by the Wings, nothing else
could have been contemplated by the Democrats.
The Wings strained every nerve-that is the lead
ers OF them-they selected their first orator, (save
one,) they gave him clap-trap positions to sustain
and aid him; they made him, par significance, the
champion OF the "aiority; they had the press with
him by large odds; they brought the east influence of
SCOTS nomination to his support; and he, with all
these appliances, made every exertion that cunning
suggested, and resorted every maneuvre plausible
manner enabled him to execute. But all failed /;
stralning of nerves. fine oraory, clap-rap POSITIONS
all combined not sufficient to sway the people
OF North Carolina from the right track. The major
Iy could not sustain a champion that proposed to
wrest from their Constitution its Gnimus-its conser-
valve spirit; and so pronounced him no champion
truly of theirs The press, though powerful for good
was not sufficiently powerful for evil, to Mr.
kerrs election; and Gen. SCOTS east influence only
served to sink Mr.. Kerr deeper in the slough of de-
feat than the weights had sunk him which had pre-
vousy been hung on to him by his oficous friends
On the other hand, Gov. Reid took in his hands
the plain, republican resolutions of the Democratic
Convention, fortified himself with the virtues and
business talents which he had brought to the dis
charge of his official duties, and which had carried
him through the discharge of those duties with so
much credit and honor to himself and the Stae and
then with honest convictions, firm purpose, and
plain, clear, open mode OF attack and Defence he
cleared the way to of the handsomest victories
ever achieved in any State in the Union.
This is simple, brief and true state of the case,
strpt of the of language the tricks of fancy
srPt even of the warm colorng satisfied pride in
glorious triumph, and the lively emotions awakened
by success, claim to lay And have not cause
to congratulate each other-to pass the word of con-
graduation from the other-to say {" honor to
the Old North State''; and to 60 up, well girded,
confident, hopeful and resolute the greater vic
tory that awaits the Ides of November

Iowa ELECTION. The returns received by due
course of mail prove that reliance be placed
on Geographic reports.
1t appears that the Democrats have carried the
Legislature, State ticket, and one member of Con
gress.
AS far as heard from, the Legislature stands as.fo
lows:
Embellishments Is, Wings 9.
House of esentatives-Democrats %, Wings
IL.
The districts to be heard from have heretofore stood
about as follows:
acknowledgements 6, Wings 4.
House of ACCOMPLISHMENTS 16, Wings
4.
If no material change has taken place in these dis
trIcts, the Democrats will have nearly two-thirds of
the Legislature.
The congressional elections show gain in the first
district in favor of Mr.. Hem, and he is doubt
elected by an increased majority.
The election in the second district has given Cook
(Whig) about 500 majority merely local issues.
The Democratic Stale ticket is no doubt elected by
from 200 to 1900 majority. which shows the popu-
lar vote to be Democratic. We shall publish the
whole of the State in few days, and will show
by the figures that the Wing victory" in Iowa has
been nothing than the change of few counties,
on local question, in the for of the congress
sional nominees, while, in fact the Democrats have
in other respects swept the State.

THE WEBSTER MOVEMENT.

st meeting of the friends of Mr.. Webster, held
in Boston on Monday evening last, the following
Resolution adopted:
Resolved, That the friends of Daniel Webster, in
convention assembled in the home of great States
man, send greeting to the national wings of North
Carolina, and purpose to accept their distinguished
son, and offer them, as fit associate in
the coming Presidential campagn and all the South
say, that as compromises the order of the day,
offer to accept the ticket furnished by the Ba-
more Convention, with this compromise that the
of Webster be substituted for Scott, they taking what
is due to the South, and taking what is to the
North, and with Webster and Graham we will sweep
the land.'
The Meeting is said to have been a most enthu-
siastic one, and it adjourned to Tuesday evening.
The Webster men are pressing their favorite and
are standing, in good faith, by the compromise )"
They are likely to get some help in North Carolina.
The Wilmington Commercial is doing effective SER
vice in the Webster cause, and we hear that the
Scott disafecton is spreading in the Eastern Ceun-
ties.

OCEAN HOUSE. NEWPORT, Aug. 9, Is

OCEAN HOUSE, NEWPORT, Aug. 9, 1852.
Outrageous ANack upou q Southerner-4 Mob
Hundreds Of Sutherners Leaving. This usually quiet
village was this morning full of excitement, coca.
stoned by attack of walters upon the person of E.
M. Yerger, Esq, young planter from the South.
The circumstances follows: On Sunday al
dinner, Mr. Yerger was helping lady friends
to dish, when waiter attempted to take it from
his hands. He very promptly and properly raised
the case knife which he held and struck the walters
face. The waiter WAS taken from the room, and din
ner went on as usual. The next morning, Mr.. Yer
ger went to breakfast and being seated, discovered
movement among the walters, and having armed
himself in anticipation of attack he prepared for self
defence. He held pistol in each hand, and as the
mob advanced he told them that he would kill the
first who within five feet. By this threat
believe his life saved, for none of them dared
TO overstep the mark.
The cry of Southrons'' was Immediately made,
whereupon, Col. Chrsty of Kentucky. Lieutenan:
Nelson of the Navy, Mr.. Pollard of Alabama, and
many other friends of Mr.. to the rescue. The
mob kept at bay by Yerger's pistols until he
surrounded by his friends; he thus de-
pistol was wrenched from his right hand, the guard
tearing his fingers severely. The waiter who got
possession of the pistol made several attempts FIRE
upon Mr.. Yerger, but was prevented from fear of
killing some one of his accompices. Mr.. Yerger
taken from the by his friends, v,et arms,
and the walters were expelled by the remaining
Southerners. They gathered, however, in another
part of the house, and being in number about hun
ded, created great CONSERVATION among the ladies'.
Mr.. Yerger compelled to leave the place by ad-
vice of his friends, about fifty of whom accompanied
him. Many Southerners still preparing leave.
Mr.. Weaver did all he could arrest the movement,
but being man of not much decision, he of course
failed.
I must say that if guests to be thus treated
whilst visiting Newport for their health pleasure.
it would be wise for them to remain at home. I'M
dersand the mob have threatened the lives of Col.
Christy and Lieut. Nelson, who were warm personal
friends of Mr.. Y. and stood by him in the midst of
the difficulty. Several walters knocked down
whilst attempting follow Mr.. Yerger to his room.
Altogether we have had exciting time-truly dis
graceful and outrageous upon the feelings of the visit
ors. Nothing important in the fashionable
ping, occasionally enivened by an Irish episode.
Yours truly, BosroN.

COUNTY COMPETITION.

Mr.. HOLDEN We rolled up the increase we prom
ised in Duplin. We sent on 70 clear gain to swell
the tide we felt certain had set in for Reid. COM
Parson of this gain with others, will show that we
did well, considering relative numbers; and we
should have done still better, had high kept
goodly number from the polls at several precincts
Comparing our Democratic strength with the Wing
strength of Stany, and we gained four Democratic
to every Wing vote they gained there But where
so many Counties did so nobly, it does not become
modest little Dupln to prefer her claims to the hon.
ors too boasttuly. Permit her to say in conclusion,
that, as she has up to her promises in August.
IN November she will again compete for the banner,
and she hopes that in friendly spirit of competition
other Counties will enter the arena.
Scott will scarcely receive corporal's guard from
US. Yours, DUPLIN.

Scott man of this city, when, yesterday, he heard
of the vote in North Carolina. He right; the
chain of Southern States will be un6roken! Had
the wings carried North Carolina, Scott might have
or Louisiana; but his managers, at Washington,
having spent their full strength upon North Carolina,
and falling to carry it, the Southern States will now
vote In body against him. The result will be to

North CAROLINA. 1t is admitted all hands
that in the first trial of strength since the Presden-
tial nominations, the Wings are badly beat. Cover
nor REID is reelected by increased majority. The
National Intellgencer and the Republic, however,
console their party by that this election
is no test that Scott will show very different re-
suit, &c. We agree with them that this election is
not test; but for the reason that the Wings were
Governor, and that they will be divided, and but
portion probably small portion, will enter into the
canvass for Scott with spirit and hope. According
TO all the indications, Gen. Scott has chance Of
receiving the full Wing vote of North Carolina, and
of course no chance of carrying the State.
