THE RESULT IN THIS DIsTRICT.

Our readers are by this time doubtlessy aware that
the democratic anti know nothing party OF this district
has e-elected the Hon. James II Dowde TO Congress
and in doing So has done act that reflects great credit
the intelligence and patriotism of Its individual mem
bers.
There is not an instance in the history Of political war
fare which has severely tried the invncbity of the
candidate the loyalty of the party Mr. Dowdel canvass
cd this district under the most unfavoralo auspices At
the very inception of the the Kansas question
near enguphing the entire democracy for enemies
with the avty Of starving wolves seized upon this
the most delicious mosel wherewht to stae their hum
CRY stomachs. They, who sustained Fillmore, who had
pronounced the Kansas Nebraska bill the Pandoras box
from which had issued every political evil they, who
last year contended that Kansas not adapted in SOIL
climate production for slave labor and who pro-
nounced the attempt to make it slave State as uto-
plan idea, were of all the most jealous of our
rights Kansas and became par eroenoe the guardians
of southern rights. They beloved loudest and long
est in unmeasurcd denunciation of Walker the admin
straon and the entire democracy But notwithstand-
ing all this they had not the hardihood to announce
by any resolution platform any line of policy by which
they would be guided They turned loose their candi
date without saddle bre wild colt upon the prai-
ries, free to direct his steps whithersocver his fancy
interest might lead They .'al things to all men,
that they might gain them all Superannuated wings,
disaected democrats know nothngs, one and ALL could
find ready lodgmen in the ranks Of this mongre party
In all the counties they organized regular army,
and wherever they could find democrat prepared to aid
in the disruption of his party they secured his alliance
by offer of spoils. In the county OF Russell they
organized an independent ticket chiefly claiming TO be
democrats yet going horse foot and dragoons to
the know-nothing candidate
In Tallapoosa they within fifty votes of defeating
popular democrat for the senate-a county in which
Mr.. Dowdell received majority of 255 votes
They sent their emssares throughout the entire dis
ct willing and prepared to every practical scheme
that might aid their desperate cause But in despite OF
all this the great personal worth of candidate his
known patriotism, and his entire devotion to the inter
ests of his constituents, vndicated by his manly eo
quence carried him safely and tunphantiy into port
Had it not been for the Kansas question and the defec
ton in RUSSELL he would have carried everything before
him. As it is he has most gallany maintained his par
y strength in other county and our enemies not
wthstanding their desperate machnations find the peo
pies favorite endorsed
Long may he live to share the honos which the future
has in store for him who has been tried and found faith
