~ We copy the following capital remarks from

~ We copy the following capital remarks from
the last Warrenton News:
"Now that the election is and the result is
found to be in favor of the Democrats, the Wing
journals Of the State have set themselves usual
to specializing upon the probable use the Democracy
will make of the power placed in their hands, and
some few of them, have actually began to tell what
the Democrats are going to do and to shower down
their anathemas upon them for doing it.
The most dismal lamentations are made over the
fact that Mr.. Badger is to be left at home The Will
mington Herald says that Mr.. Badger is to be sac
rifced because he is a Wing" Of course! Wasn't
were Wings? Wasn't Mr.. Woodfn and host of
others sacrificed for the same reason? There has
been a general sacrificing of Wings for some time
past, and do not what sort of faces the Dem
ocratc delegation in the legislature could wear be-
fore their constituents, to send back to the
Senate who had been marked by the people for
sacrifice" 1t would be pretty come off for the
representatives to return from the legislature and
say to their respective constituencies, gentlemen
you elected Democrats, pledged to go for Dem
ocratic men and measures, and especially to elect
two Democratic United States Senators; but we
thought we ought to send Mr.. Badger back and have
accordingly done So" If then they were reminded
that the people of the State had set their seal of dis
appreciation upon the political creed of Mr.. Badger
and had demanded his removal, it is our opinion
that these delegates acting as above supposed would
be left without an answer. .-.
The Whg papers seem to be very much disturbed
at the sparseness of Democratic material of which to
make Senators. The Salisbury Waterman suggest
to the Democrats not only to re-eleet Mr. Badger
but modestly hints that he cannot see how they
could do better than to send Mr.. Graham or Mr..
Barrnger with him! We hope the Waterman will
not feel his modesty too overwhelming to prevent
his suggesting proper names from the brilliant galaxy
of Wing WORTHLESS in the State, to fill the offices of
Treasurer, Comptroller, Judge, Clerks, and even
down to door-keepers of the legislature This is a
sad predicament in which the Wing papers have
placed the Democrats. So bad off, do they make
them, as not to have of sufficient talent and
ability to place in any post of eminence and there
fore they propose to lend US of their big men,
having, suppose an over supply of the article
hand, Just unemployed. No doubt their
kindness will be respectfully declined"

Personally we have acquaintance with Mr.
Badger; nor do we suppose that he is aPprized OF
our existence. But judging the man from what 9th,
ers say of him who enjoy his acquaintance he would
not turn upon his heel to be in out ofthe Senate
in out of public life. Mutton ChFon1c'e.
The last sentence in the above paragraph would,
of ITSELF furnish proof conclusive that the Editor of
the Chronicle is not acquainted with Mr.. Badger.
We well remember, when Mr. Badger was first elect
ed to the Senate, what thick cloud of thankfuness
went up from the hearts of certain Wing subordin-
ates that he had condescended to accept the place.
but this gross fattery, to stronger word, was
understood then as now. Mr.. B. no doubt desired
seat in the Senate then and his service in that body
has not been of character to change this desire.
The Senate is high place, and may well excite the
loftest and most virtuous ambition. We blame no
for wishing to reach such place; and this talk
of Mr.. Badger not turning upon his heel to be in
or out" of it, will not be believed by any of his
friends even, much less by those who do not know
him.

THE YOUNG MEN ARE WITH US.

A friend writing US from Montgomery County,
GAYS: al understand Gen. Dockery says the cause
If Whiggery is dead for the next generation in North
Carolina, for nearly all the young men he meets
With about old enough to vote Democrats" This
. +rue We give the General credit for having hit
the nail on the head time at least politically.
The Young men of the country are with us, and we
ore nroud of the fact, and hopeful and sangune be-
cause of it.
We we'll remember the time when it was deemed
bv many in the State, not merely questionable but
ungenteel for young man of promise to avow him
self a Democrat. The power of the monied aristoc-
racy here we know, and the influence of those who
considered themselves entitled to give tone to social
life, were brought, to. bear against young men
who took ground for the Democrats, while those
who remained Wings or who became So were petted
and advanced in life. But this power and this in
duence are now either broken disregarded, and
meanwhile Whiggery is becoming Questionable.
The tables are being turned. Shrewd and discern
ING men at length perceive that the people the
side of the Democracy and their course is shaped &C
cordingy; and the young men, in the ardor and
frankness of their nature, crowdng to the BAN
ner of progress of liberal views and of the great
est good to the greatest number" We welcome
them most cordially and heartily. We honor them
for their fidelity to their nrSt impulses, Ior ther
sympathy with the masses, and for the assurance
thus given and thus early given, of service and ben
eft to their country. Come on, young gentlemen
those of you who have not quite made up your minds
come on and take position in our ranks. Ours is
the Republican party, not of to-day or OF yesterday
but of old it is the party in which effort is COM
mended talent appreciated, and devotion to princi-
pie rewarded. 1t is the party which has its founda-
tons, and indeed its very existence in strict con-
struction of the federal constitution and must en-
dure and flourish as long the constitution itself
shall endure. Only qualify yourselves for public
employment, and the question will not be asked by
the Democracy where you came from, or what was
YOUR origin-whether from the Workshop the corn
field or the college But qualify youTsetres. No
bafeducation no habits of nattention or careless
ness no reliance upon others for chance aid or for
YOUR opinions, will be found suited to this age. BE
MEN, and the people will promote you. The times
require men of high virtue, of inf1exible will, OF
studious and laborious habits-men too unseldsh
and honest to resort to isms or side issues tor ad
yancement, but who will make principle their polar
star under all circumstances and in every crisis.

Act aceH your part-there all the honor lies

COL BENTON BAREFOOT. John Wentworth writes
home from Washington to his paper, the Chicago
Democrat long gossipping letter in reference to a
variety of of general interest to the people
of the West and several of very special interest to
his immediate constituents. The letter commences
with the following characteristic anecdote Of Col
Benton
When the House adjourned on Monday, sine die,
there were about a dozen present. Col. B. and my
self were the only from the West. The Colonel
had prepared himself for hot morning by leaving
vest, cravat and stockings at home. He light
and low slippers which showed natures stockings to
great advantage When asked where he purchased
his stockings he said he got them from his mother
seventy-odd years ago, and had never yet wore
hole in them.

has been defeated in Washington City:
WASHINGTON, August 90. The election in the First

Great enthusiasm prevails among the successful
party; they proceeded to the dwelling of Mr. Davis,
who addressed them very eloquently. He observed
that he would not say eve have met the enemy )"
he did not consider his opponents enemies This
was contest for principle. He rejoiccd that his
friends had advocated the constitution of his
