Mr.. Gregg received 1853. The dc,nocra,i,

$40, the federal ma oriiy was 443 In the
county, seven democratic members Of assem-
MY are elected by AN average of upwards at
400 majority. In the city, the drmucratir
party lost their senate and assembly ticket by
between 6 aud 700 woes only. The venerable
John Douglass the Democratic candidate for
sheriff, Conrad Vile, the democratic candida,
for county commissioners, and John Dennis,
the democratic candidate for coroner, have all
been elected IN the city and county.
From Montgomery county. we learn that
the democratic majority for Governor X j77
votes, and the democratic senate and assem-
bly, tickets succeededby about the same MA
iorly.
In the federal county of Delaware, the f.
dcral candidate fur Governor received ma
loriy OF 327 votes.
We have just received information that the
majority for Mr. Gregg in Bucks county, but

No doubt remains of the election of Mr..
Shulze as Governor of Pennsylvania, by an
o'erw helmng majority. Upon this pleasing
event, upon the restoration of Pennsylvania 10
her former high democratic standing, we may
he permitted 10 congratulate the republicans
moi only of the state, but of the union. Ii is
truly subject of national ftlicitatiun. FIR. Gu,.
If it afford the Editors of the Washington
Republican any pleasure To believe that we
have abandoned our opinion that Mr.. Craw-
ford is the popular Candidate for the Prcsi
dtncy in this state, we have no objection Ia
their entertaining it, though, we presume, in
this conceit, they will stand alone. Until we
have stronger reasons than any which have
yet appeared TO the contrary, we must couti-
nue. To believe, that, though it is very evident
that there are small parties in favor of seve-
raj of the other Candidates for the Office, MIR.
Crawford will be supported by large ma
iority of the citizens OF North Carolina.
| Having stated this as our opinion, il is I'M
necessary tn add that we entirely disagree
with our brother Editor of the Western Caro-
linan, 81 hen he states that eight out of thirteen
of our Congressional Districts will be opposed
To Mr.. Crawford.
| III Is known that the citizens of our State o.
ect their Electors by General Ticket. 1t is
our opinion that but one ticket will he voted
for, that that will be the Republican ticket, and
| we cannot at present doubt il will consist OF
the friends of Mr.. Crawford. This matter
however, will be put beyond question before
the close of the approaching Session of oul
Legislature, which meets ne t month

ST.. LOUIS, Miss Aug. 3O.-A case has
| occurred in the administration of the govern
ment of this state, the facts relating to which
we will alone lay before our readers at present
Ii is pretty generally known, the Governor
and Lieut.. Governor of Missouri are both
absent from the state at this time, and that
consequently their offices have become va
Gated according tn the constitution. Governor
Al'Nair has gonesto Prairie du Chen (in Michi-
gam and Lieut.. Governor Ashley is upon the
Missouri, with his hunters. The person. in
regular Succession, TO ill the Office, woHld be
the President of the Senate, pro tempore-ac-
cordingly Governor M'Nair has delivered il
overto Benjamin Emmons, Esq. who immedi
atcly entered upon the discharge of the duty.
But the Speaker of the House of Representa-
tiSes, Henry S. Geyer, Esq. denies the correct
ness OF this procedure, and contends that the
| Office necessarily devolves upon himself be-
| cause Mr.. Emmons is not now President pro
tempore, the Senate having failed or neglect
ed In go into a recollection of that officer after
| the Lleuterant Governor had returned and ia
| ken his seat the last session. Mr.. Geyer there
| fore insists that there is in fact no President
prJ-tempOre, and he being the Speaker, that
| no plhPr pcrson,can conStItutIOnally administer
the government until the return of the Gov
ernor or Lieut.. Governor. He relies upon the
practice which is observed in the Senate of the
United States, 10 shew that Mr.. EmmDns is
not now President pio-tempore, of the Senate
of Missouri. We understand that he will ga
to ST. Charles in day or two, to demand
the seals, SC of Office. 1t is hoped, however
the public interest may not suffer by this state
of things, and that the people will act coolly
and cautiously ON the occasion.
