ssLives there man, with soul so dead,

 Who never to himself has said

 Thisi my own, my native land!"

 With feelings of no ordinary qualification, we find the following items in one of our exchange papers.

 "DEMocRATIc GAIN.-An election took place last Monday in the Norfolk District, to supply the vacancy in the Virginia Senate, created by the resignation of Mr. Langhorne, Whig Mir. Crump, the Wing candidate, was elected by majority of l22.

 ''lt will be observed, says the Richmond Enquirer, that since the Spring we have gain- ed in Norfolk Borough 10, in Norfolk coun- ty 95, in .Nanseneond l39, and in Princess Ann l6-in all, 260. This is a glorious re- suit in this hitherto impregnable Federal dis trict. One more effort, and it is ours Nor folk county (but particularly, Portsmouth ) has covered herself with immortal honor.o

 It IS not because this news is at all extra ordinary in itself, that we are thus gratifed but because 1t comes to us as well remem- bered voice from the loyedhome of our child hood. NANsEMoND COUNTY is the place oi our nativity. For many years, she was re- presented by him our deceased Father who taught us Democracy. For several years past, by some strange inlatuation, she has committed herself to the hands of the Fede- ralsts. Last year we were there, at an election; and were mortified to witness the success of Federalist, by majority of IS votes. But now, s!Old Nansemond' God bless her '! is herself again. By a Demo- cratic majority of 121, she has repudiated the deluders of her confidence, ''driven the mo- ney changers from her holy temple" and re- turned to the pure faith of her fathers. Let her now remain true to herself. A nd should we die here, at our post, in this far western region, defending the principles which we learned within her borders, let some kind friend take us there again, and lay our bones Tn her loved soil, which Is hallowed by the dearest recollections of our life; and over which now proudly waves, again, the bright banner of Democracy.
