our sosemporaries OF ibe press 10 reference
to the election Of this gentleman -
Atrh *. BerrLEh. One Of the most
gratifying results to US, Of The late avalanche,
Is that this gentleman is nov certain Of
seat In Congress, Of which. vs honestly be-
hess' he was deprived by unfair means four
years ago. No man, less familiar than our
selves With the state Of sHai,s 10 that Dis.
uiet, aud tie influence with which our
friend Boteler bad to contend, can form
any just conception Of the splendid triumph
be has obtaiBsd.
The result is . deserved compliment to
one OF the purest and most accom- pli.hed
men IN Virginia, from Distrie, strongly ep-
posed to him In politics aud . Just rebuke
10 one who-whatever NAV be aid Of him
as man-as politician, is certainly very
interruptions.
Our party have had hand this time in
eiecting SOME foer OF FIVE mem bers TO Con-
gress, but Mr.. Boteler is peculiarly cur own
rePressntAtire man. and though the lone
star from Virginia, will shine in aHy galaxy
Of men
We predict for him distir gui.hed. and.
