COL. ASA BIGGS.

We learn that every effort was made by the fed
eral leaders to defeat this useful public servant and
tried champion of Democracy. His opponent Mr..
Guyther, all sorts of candidate-a little of
Wing, little of Republican, and little of Demo
GRAFT, and his majority in Washington was consider
able; but Col Bigg's native County, Martin, rallied
to him with feeling worthy of the best days of the
Democracy there, and secured his election.
The Democrats lost Commoner in Washington.
Our friends there will never be able to win lasting
victories without organization and concentration
of strength.

ELECTION News! We present our readers with
such election returns we have been able collect
We learn from Cherokee that John Rolen Esq,
| Southern Rights Wing, has been elected to the
Commons, by heavy majority. Mr. Rolen is, we
learn, for Mr.. Clingman for the U. S. Senate.
1 Mr.. Patton, Clingman man, is elected to the
| Commons from Macon.
In jackson Mr.. Bryson, Wing, is elected to the
Commons. He publicly pledged himself to support
Mr.. Clingman for the U. S. Senate.
Col. R. G. A. Love, Democrat, is the member elect
| from Haywood
| From the Senatorial District composed of Chero-
kee, Macon, jackson and Haywood, Col. William a.

| is reelected by an overwhelming majority.

Great pity.

man of sterling worth, beats Col. Fagg.
In Yancey, Mr.. Garland, Democrat is elected.
In the Senatorial District composed of Henderson,
Buncombe Madison ane Yancey, D. Coleman, Esq,
Democrat, beats N. W. Woodfin, Esq, Wing, one
hundred and fourteen votes. Mr.. Coleman has over
come a majority of five hundred against him. and
leads an able and popular competitor over hundred
votes. This fact of itself speaks for the ability of
the man in stronger terms than any could use.
The Democratic party have reason to be proud of
David Coleman. The tact, industry and ability dis
played during the late hot canvass would do credit
to much older politician. Mr.. G. is quite young
man, and we predict for him brilliant career. He
has all the requisites for successful political leader
and unless we greatly mistake the character of the
man, his future course will be such to bind to him
with hooks of steel" the people of this District.
He knows their wants-deeply 'sympathises with
them and will assdulously devote his fine talents to
the advancement of the best interests of the people.
Messrs. Bynum and Ship, Wings represent Ru-
therford in the Commons, while Dr. Columbus Mills,

Wing, is elected by handsome majority.
In Burke, w. F. McKesson, Whig beat Col. W.
w. Avery by few votes 1t is no particular bust

have made bad exchange. The Wings however,
have large majority, and nothing better could be
reasonably expected
