o. We copy the following capital remarks
from the las. Warrenton News:
CHOW that the election is over 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 Wilmington Herald says that Mr.. Badger
is to be sacrificed because he is Whig." OF
course! Wasn't Mr.. Kerr and Gen. Dockery
sacrificed because they were Wings? Wasn't
Mr.. WoOdfn and q host of others sacrificed for
the same reason? There has been a general
sacrificing Of Wings for some time past, and we
do not see what sort Of faces the Democratic del.
egalion in the Legislature could wear before their
constituents, to send man back to the Senate
who had been marked by the people for sacri.
fce." 1t would be pretty come off for the rep.
resentatves to return from the legislature and
say to their respective constituencies 'sgentlemen,
you elected us Democrats, pledged to go for
Democratic men and measures, and especially TO
elect two Democratic United States Senators !; but
we thought ought 10 send Mr.. Badger back
and have accordingly done so.'' If then they
were reminded that the people OF the State ha d
set their seal of disapprobatlon upon the political
creed Of Mr.. Badger and had demanded his re-
moval, i, is our opinion that these delegates, act
ing as above supposed, would be left without an
answer.
The Wing papers seem to be very much dis
turbcd at the sparseness of Democratic material
of which to make Senator'S. The Salisbury
Waterman suggests to the Democrats not only to
re-eect MIR. Badger, but modestly hints that he
cannot see how they could do better than to send
Mr.. Graham or Mr.. Barringer 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, Comp.
troller, Judge, Clerks, and even down to door.
keepers of the Legislature. This is sad predic-
ament in which the Wing papers have placed the
Democrats. So bad off, do they make them. as
not to have d man Of sufficient talent and ability
to place in any post of eminence ); and therefore,
they propose to lend us some of their big men,

Our New GovERNoR.-Thomas Bragg, Esq.
our newly elected Governor attended Court here
last week. He looked somewhat fatigued :; bu,
seemed TO be in about as fine glow Of spirits as
usual. His success has made no perceptible
change in him, either regards appearance or
manners. He is the straightforward Thomas
Bragg-modest and unassuming in mis- manners.
He is generally beloved by the people of the State,
and especially by those who know him best as
eviRced by his election, and the majorities which
he received for Governor in Northampton and
Halifax Counties. His Administrator will no
doubt be successful one. For he possesses good.

duty may devove on him as Governor of North
