In the rejoicing at the brilliant result of the
late elections, the Democratic press of our State
have passed over too lightly, The gallant champ
ion in the 3rd District, Col Reid His triumph
ant reelection, under all the circumstances, was
most sigaal victory over federalism. He was as
sailed in the most unscrupulous manner by his
opponent and his hackers and his opponent
avalrd himself Of every means that he thought
would at all conduee to Col Reds defrat Nc
MiIIans friends relied upon his Baptstism in that
Baptist region TO elect him--he plead for $50 a
day." instead of SS, to elect him--he plead for
Texas, Aaftcr opposing it before) to elect him
and various sectional appeals to Ashe and Wilkes
were made but alwould not do. The indom-
liable Reid exposed them all. Hemct and routed
his opponent on the stump at every point in the
District, and, when thevotes were counted, came
out more than victor And we now prophecy
that the good fruits of the recen: contest in the Sd
District will be still more plainly seen in the next
elections in these Counties for the legislature
and Governor Surry and Stokes have been COM
pletely redeemed, and we have confidence that
federalism will never again get possession Of
these old Democratic strGnghoIds. And for this
gratifying state of things friends indebted
to the effective. labors of Col. Reid-thanks to
him. Meeklenburg Je6ersOnion.
