2 Of our town over the cheering returns O
the election, as far as heard from through
out this Congressional District. It is tn
t pecan victorious in honor Of the good for
tune which is lifting from our people til
thraldom Of Radical oppression and tyran
ny; it is the note Of triumph which W
sound us we sweep away from Cumberland
Sampson, Moore, Chatham and Robson
the horde Of hungry Radical interloper
who have been upjustly and arbitraril,
vested with the control and administration
Of affairs in every Office. With the excep
ton Of one. (Sampson) all tie above men
toned counties voted heavy Radical ma
jorities at the last election enough has
been definitely ascertained now to put them
all down as Democratic.
Four precincts in Moore have already
forwarded their returns, the aggregate
Democratic maiorities of which foot ur
222. The county is considered perfectly
safe Moore gave 359 Radical majority in
April, and therefore the gain in that coun.
II has been very large.
Chatham, Radical by 604 majority last
time, has turned topsy turvy, and the par
tial returns are in the highest degree graf
flying. You may put it down Democratic.
Sampson, as usual, leads the van Robe
son has gained several hundred votes, but
as you have means Of hearing from these
two counties, [ pass them by.
| Yesterday [ sent you the Cumbe rland
vote, to which I have something to add.
Quewhiffle, which put at thirty, has since
sent IN so additional Democratic maj ority,
which increases our ma Iority in the whole
county to 78-a gain of 615 votes.
| Unless Richmond and Montgomery make
very black showing, the rest of the Dis
trict will neutralize ycnr very black coun-
t. and city, and put Col. McKoy into Con-
gross. Cumberland, Harnett and Samp-
son have undoubtedly elected Oates of
Sampson to the Senate of the State.
Views 81 the Press the Result OF the
Presidential Election.
We make few extracts from our ex-
changes on the result Of the Presidential
election
From the New York Times, rep.]
The country may now look for that bene-
feent peace which has been the watchword
Of the republican party during tho politi-
cal campaign. General Grant could have
done the party 10 greater service than by
giving il this idea and this word to inscribe
upon its banners. TIE turmoil of the last
eight years has become intolerable When
it was war i'll the field, the people bore it
with strong hearts and strong arms. But
when this WAS followed by four years Of
violent political distractions that constantly
threatened renewal Of sanguinary strife,
popular patience got exhausted. And
when, finally, the democratic party raised
a revolutionary platform. from which we
could see nothing but stor1ny future and
q tempe5t-tossed country, there would have
been justification for despair if no means of
escape had been opened up, But the great
soldier wac had formerly given us peace
by his military genius, again stood forward
as the representative Of peace in the storm
Of political passion. The country felt
the power Of the sacred word, and rallied
round the leader who could give it hope.
From The Few W. World, Dem
1t is not merely as tie representative of
q beaten party, pouring oil upon their
wounds, that We virdicate in this the very
crisis Of our misfortune, and as we believe
Of the cOIutry's calamity, the ardor and
the courage, but the desperateness also
OF our struggle. Rather do we proclaim
in this most trying hour-speakiug for q
party serenely secure Of possessing the
future OF our country, and Of moulding
her magnificent destinies when itself shall
have been purged and moulded for that
imperial task-an unshaken and unshaka-
bic confidence in its puissant and undying
youth, which ont Of disaster will get dis
n M icfO nd
uncOnquorable courage, ont of blunders,
wisdom and settled will. 70 this great
work, here and now, upon battle field
which hns been lost, do we invite, beneath
undlshonOred standards, the youth, the
manhood Of our time
From the New York Herald I
Beyond these generahties we have no.
thing more or the presidential issue. The
public will look to General Grant for
just and economical administration at
home and a widely enlarged influence in
the affairs # the general family of nations
We think, too, the ~.untry will not be dis
the extreme radical faction in Congress-
LGrom the PhiladeIphia Age, Dem
Though as good citizens we bow in sub
mission to the popular VIII, no matter how
Improperly tie expression of that will
may have been obtained, we cannot dis
guise tie fact that this disastrous result
fills rs with serious apprehensions for the
future welfare Of our country. Disaster
to the democratic party now is heavy
blow to the Union and the constitutional
The democratic party for more than three
quarters Of a century happily ruled the ma
ton and covered its flag with glory. It is
the only organization now in existence that
advocates the equality Of the citizen and
the equality Of the States-that stands
fearlessly, in sunshine and in storm, by
the sacred compact which our fathers made
and that guarantees to all men within
our borders, native and adopted, the price
less boon OF civil and religious freedom
1t made the nation great-it filed the land
with prosperity-and it sheltered the toll
ing millions from every form of oppression
that human ingenuity could devise to har
rass the people. It is essentially the party
OF the people, growing from them and |
springing out of their loins, and it will |
continue to be the earnest defender of the
peoples rights as long as our present form
of government survives, and as long as the
masses have rights to care for and protect.
The defeat of such party cannot fail to
prove disastrous to the cause of human
