They owed it to their own reputation tar nished by past neglect—to the patriotic I’resident in whose election they had as sisted—to their distinguished fellow-citi- zen called by that President to the Na- tit'nal Couticils—to their brother Whigs of the Union and to the Uuiou of the States. Nobly have tliey fulfilled their duty—free ly have the}' given tiieir voiees to sustain and perpetuate the Union for whieh tlu'ir gallant Fathers fought. Ijocofucoism, Se cession, and Disuuion are put down in North Carolina, it becomes the duty of the fticnds of t!»e Union tt) see that they are kept down—it should never be a re proach to us that tht gov'd people of solier, steady, thiiik'iiiij North Carolina, first to declare her independence of a fon'ign op- }'ressor assisted in the destruction of that I nion to which we owe the full enjoyment of our Freedoin. The rcsub has etpialled the most san guine e.xpectation. True, wo deeply regret the defeat of th..t sterling Whig and true P;.triot, Cl 1. tiaitlier. Rut we had little reason to expect his eb-etion. His oppo m-nt, besides reiuidiating in full bis li.'ii- nien sentiments and representing himsdf :is giMid a Whig and a better Union man th.m Col Ciaither, has so zealously fostered feelings of jealousy and distrust of the Kastern seeti^n of the State, has so con stantly represented himself as the sole de- feiubi of the West against Eastern usur pation. that he has in a measure identified himst If with the the cause of his .section, and indue'-d m::ny to believe as hr in i.^t certainly does, that Thonias Clingman in the West.

As it is, however, few will be found bold enough to assert that Seces sion or Di.-unioii finds Lixor in ihe gotxi old North State. With the result as it is, we are satisfied.

As a confirmation of the ac tion of the great Whig party of the S >utl., and a? a ratification of the ads and an a)»- pntval of the cour.se of the Administration, which has so ntdt’y fullilled all its pledges of respect to to the rights of the S'mth, we rejoice at it.

W KSTEUX ELK( TIONS. The failure of the Northern mail this morning, leaves us in uncertainty as to the result in some of the Western States. In Ke.ntiCKY, it is supposed that Dixon, Whig, is elected Govet nor by a small ma jority. This however is by no means cer tain. The Whig candidate for Lt. (jrover- nor is elijcted by a large majority. The Congressional delegation will stand, according to the last accounts, five Whigs, one Independent Whig, and four Loeos. In this State, there was no opposition to the Compromise—the Democrats declaring themselves better friends to it than the Whigs. Indiana.—The Ijt'gislature is largely Locofoco. Seven I.k)cos and two Whigs are certainly elected to Congress. One ■ other District still in doubt. In Alabama, as before stated, the U- nion tickets for Congress and the Legisla- ■ turc are triumphant. It is believed, how ever, that Harris, Loco secessionist, has beaten Mudd, Union W'hig. If so, the delegation will stand, five Unionists and two Locofooos. Tennessee.—We have received no re- j turiia froxa tbia State But froin the Wil- Indian Tkk-VTIks.—The U. S.

Of course it is also cor rect iti its ojiinion, that in this cimntry, the ‘'Tongue and the Pen” are free. No one will deny that, we think. l>ut South- erii Whigs cannot live in tinion with high er law Seward men, who in avowing the right to speak with freedom, plainly mean that th(>y intend to agitate for the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law.

K>/f,ni>.—It is worthy of consideration that the States (dinging most strenuously to their old and least republican constitu tions are under Democratic rule, whilst those that keep up with the true progress of the times are contrcdled b}' the higs. N w Hampshire, a conliinied Democratic .State, lately rejected the new constitution framed by a convention. Right by its side, Vermont, a staunch Whig State, is WM’king under one of the most liberal of eoiisfitu(iins, all its ofTiccrs being elective liy the people. South (^arolina has a most anti-democratic form of government, and Virginia has been very slow to enter into the spirit of reform. Ohio auil other Whig Stati's pos.sess constitutions of the most republican kind. It will be difficult for the Democratic pre.si=ses that make such reckless assertions about the 'Whigs being opposed to true re forms, to account for this. F'acts are the best arguments, and here are facts that it is imjio.ssible to deny. H ’ //(ch t-sler »uL.'ica n. The ‘ Sun” continues to rejoice ov(‘r the Cuban paper victories.
