Tne Result in the State.
It is still almost 100 soon to Offer any review OF the
resuts of the recent election in North Carolina since
even vet two of the districts not sufficiently heard
from 10 enable us TO them down absolutely
tain We aInde TO the sixth and eighth districts,
represented in the last Congress by Hon c. Puryear
and Hon. Thos L. Cingman, both of whom were cam
didates for reelection Thursday, the I'd inst. and
were opposed by Mr.. Scales, who ran against Mr..
Puryear and Mr. Carmichael, who ran against Mr..
Clingman. The vote in the sixth district will be ex
ceedingly close and it is by impossible that
Mr. Scales elected, although, must Confess that
the probabilities are rather in favor of MIR. Puryear.
Mr.. Cingman has made gains and losses; bat, upon
The whole, sort OF reason to question has
election by considerable majority.
In the number Of Congressman elected then, the
case stands thus - SAM has three; his opponents
in plain terms, the Democfats-nave fve, perhaps
sic. In the popular vote, the antK. N. majority can
hardly be less than eight thousand. From these
facts it is evident that the form of opposition TO
the Democracy has not succeeded so well the old
by thousands of votes. And although, at some points,
transient causes may have given appearance of
strength to the new movement, il was but an
appearance, and those who deceive themselves with
The idea Of any real permanent Judgment in any
portion of the Democratic citadel will find them
selves wocfuliy mistaken. North Carolina has
shown herself much more decidedly opposed to
the K MS than she ever did to the Wings, and the
aggregate Democratic majority, on the popular vote
- To- Nv
given for Gov, Reid Virginia broke the spell of K
N. invncibilijy--N Carolina has seconded the
motion, and Tennessee has said Azne in the election
of Andrew Johnson Governor of that State. Of
which fact there now remains no sort OF doubt.
To come nearer home, IN this third district, where
from various causes, q stronger effort was made than
any other, and where, unfortunately, local causes
had more 10 do with the result than in any other
district in the State majority is reduced,
but Democracy is not. The Democratic vote was
not brought out The Democrats were too Sc.
cure in their own strength to make the proper effort
to exhibit that strength. In sister county of
Badcn there have been local and personal causes at
work, to which, as outsiders it does not become US
10 refer. 1t would b. indicate and perhaps impro-
per in US to do So. We were as fully aware of this
state Of things before the election we now,
and for the same causes RETAINED from all reference
20 it. The Democrats OF Bladen alone can regu-
late their own internal difficulties We can only
appeal to them to do So with firm reliance upon
their good and patriotic Democratic feeling. A
reliance which has never been shaken for moment.
The last contested canvass which General Mckay
had in the old district, containing at least thousand
greater majority, about 1900 majority. A
majority of fifteen bundled in : Congressional
election in the present district with the very full
turn out in the K. n. strongholds in the towns
and the slim turn out in the Democratic precintE
in the country would have been fully equal 10 26O(
o. 200 in n full Presidential turnout. The
difficulties to which we have referred in BLADDER
will than account for all the apparent falling d
IN the district Any ideas or calculations founded
upon any oher conclusions will be found deceptive
The extreme This district, in any National election
when full vote is noled is good for her full ma orty
This we say advisedy, and November, 1856, vii
bear Us out.
We are now making calm and candid review c
facts, from which all excitement anything tendin
TO i'll -leeng is scdulousy excluded. The election
over, andi with il let its excitements and ill-feelng
pass away. We. therefore say nothing about som
modes of eleclioneerng into which we, our birth, an
even our religion were, improperly, think, draw
in. Let that pass. 1t remains for the Democrats
the District to serry their ranks Look to their OIL
ganization and be warned by even the temporar
peril in which they have been placed
The LOUISVILLE RGoTs.--We give in full as W
find them, the telegraphic dispatches in regard
the painful and humiating occurrences at Louisville
Ky, the night or the 9Th inst. That these de-
patches are sided, appears their very face,
they throw all the blame upon of the parties
the affair, a state of circumstances which never "
did exist. We never knew or heard Of a riot of tn
kind in which some blame did not attach 10 all pa
ties concerned, and so, we venture to say, examin
ton will prove TO have been the case in this A
comTo probabilities founded upon the consideration
which govern human action, are against a small m
nority, as the foregn-born population of Louisvl
are, deliberately attacking or seeking cause of diff
Guilty with the vast majority composed of the native
born population. The thing is not natural w
know something of mobs and riots and we know thi
the trst rumourS of such things are seldom reliable
suspension of opinion until full details shall hay
been received, is especially due to Justice and gene
oslty at the present time. In the present excite
state ci public feeling the acts of few foreigner
may, to some extent, be attributed to the whole
their injury and to the excitement Or increase of a
undeseryed prejudice against innocent persons -
There are circumstances mentioned in Other ronor
which would seem to throw the blame mainly on n
other SIZE put these we do nos refer TO. We won
not defend single man guilty of violation of Il
law: nay, we would douby punish such men,
