A gain of two members by the Democrats.
The majority for Mr.. Gilmcr, in District largely
K. N. is not more than 800 to 900; while the ma
jorities for Messrs. Run, Winslow, Branch, Crage,
and Clingman each will range from 600 to 5000.
Ashe County has not yet been heard from. but We
may safely estimate the majority for Mr.. Scales at
7OO No more brilliant political victory was ever
achieved than that won by the Democrats Of the
Sixth District And it is as complete, as conclusive
as it is brilliant. A majority of 3e6 has been turn
ed, and in addition to that, the Democracy have
rolled up from to eight hundred for their wor
thy standard-bearer. Well may the Democrats of
the 9th District rejoice. They have a right to be
proud of the result of their labors and of their in
flexible adherence to principle.
The election of DR.. Shaw is now conceded by the
opposition. His majority will be about 10. Taking
all the circumstances into consideration, this is bril-
liant victory. The District has been Wing by de.
cided majority, and the revolution in it has been
achieved by hard work, aided by the force of truth
and correct principles Mr.. Smith, the competitor
of DR.. Shaw is the strongest man the opposition
could have run in the District; and every effort was
resorted to to elect him. One of his leading friends
Mr. Pool, took the stump for him !; and though his
will was good and he earnestly strove to benefit his
friend. yet we dCubt whether he increased his vote
to any perceptible extent Certainly he did not in
Halifax where he was SO handsomely and gallantly
met by Mr.. Ransom, one of the champions of De-
mocratic principles.
We point with pride and qualification to the De-
mocrac representation in Congress from this State.
They are all able and true men-national Democrats,
who will give cheerful and cordial support to the
administration of Mr. Buchanan.

ceived the vote of Ashe, giving Scales s92 Puryear
III. Scales majority in the District is about 725
The Elizabeth City Pioneer of the 18th gives the
vote of all the Counties in the First District, and
makes Shaw's majority 45. The vote, however, is
not official Of one thing satisfied and thai
is that Shaw is elected, be his majority what it may
The Pioneer has Smiths majority in Tyrrel l49
whereas we have it l73 in our table. We are in

We have lately issued from our press, for the two
Societies at Chapel Hill, the Address delivered at
Commencement, June 8. 1857, by Henry w. Miller,
ESQ., of this City. The Societies evinced their high
estimate of this Address by causing an edition of
three thousand copies of it to be printed.
We have also recently issued, for Committee of
the Students, the Address delivered before the Stu
dents Of Morning Star Institute, Nashville, N c.,
May 20, 1857, by William F. Green, Esq of Franklin

of the Address delivered before the young Ladies of

We have read all these Addresses with much pleas
ure, and shall seize the first opportunity to lay ex
tracts from them before our readers.
az We would respectfully suggest to our cotem.
porary of the Register the proprety and importance
of making early application through Mr. Gilmer for
the only distribution Representative in Congress
from the three States of Virginia, North Carolina
and South. Carolina; and will, consequently, have
his hands very full of this business. All sovereigns,
therefore, who want their share during the next
sion of Congress, would do we'll to apply at once
and knowing the reserve Of neighbor in this re-
spect, and the modesty with which he regards his
own vested rights in the public domain, We have
sought to relieve him somewhat by this public sug'
gestion. Mr.. Gilmer has it all figured up, and moth
ing remains to be done but to fill out and sign the
papers.
| That sefsacrfcing statesman Gen Leach, and
that unique and impressive orator, Henry E. Wal
ser, of Davidson having been disappointed far AZ
their shares are concerned, by the defeat of Col
Puryear, are also respectfully advised to make ap
plication through Mr.. Gmer.
