 FIRST GUN.-GREAT DEMOCRATIC TRI-

 UMPH IN THE METROPOLITAN DIS

 TRICT.

 Repmbiicon principles md Teras Victorious, DIE "GIBRALTAR OF WHIGGERY" AL

 MOST SI0RMED

 It Is with feelings of the sincerest pleas ure, that we announce to our readers, that our gallant and able champion, James A Sed- don, has been doubtless elected to Congress over John Minor Bolts, Esq, '' the Patrick Henry of the Age,o as he is styled in the Richmond Whig, by one of the sSlrue whigsn of this city. Mir. Seddon will enter upon his honarable office, with the hearty conf dence of his Democratic friends, and with the respect Of his opponents. He will prove q worthy successor to the late estimable Speaker, John W. Jones. Although we have not the vote from all the counties, we have ample materials 10 justify the opinion, that Mir. Seddon IS elected by near two hun dred majority. At the last election in this city, Mr. Clay received majority of 563 votes. Nlr. Botts' majority is reduced to OIL ly 343--a clear loss of 220. A similar iall- ing off Is observable in all the counties heard from

 As for the CHy Delegate, that s.knottv question: was yesterday solved by the cleo tlon of Mr. Lyons, by l86 majority. This gentleman, as is well known, has been a thorough and jealous friend of annexation, and last Summer would not nnite with the | itra Wings of this City ill denouncing their lellow-citlzens of the Democratic party as 'sDisulonsts and ayarcious Speeulators D. For this independent, manly course, and fol his willingness to do justice 10 the patriotic motives of the Democratic party, the large body of the Spartan Band gave him a cordia support: and we feel assured, that the inter. nal interests of our city will be safe in hi. hands. The Richmond Whig gave him tht epthet of the .'Locofoco candidatc.n w shall not adopt the tern-but rejoice that ; Ieras Whig has been elected to assist il the consumation of the great measure of tho | day.
