valctietory address at the close Of the polls
The election for delegates did nc, turn 10 much
upon party grounds. Many men IL bod, parties
bestowed their votes Literally up, candidates Of
opposite political sentiments. Nearly 500 votes
we're taken, being about 500 more than have ever
been polIcd in this county. The increase, under
the new constitution amount. 20 from $50 TO 500;
and this increase has wondered some pcrsonsl
doubtful as TO the present political complexion Of
the county. A test will doab,icss be made ia due .
season For our own part, can say ~itl, truth, !
that although NC have never Disguised our ssnti- !
nents, and never will, yet NC feel dysirous that
at least another year of rposc should be enjoyed
by the people Of jefferson. Angry feelings C.
noush were excited during the last presidential
canvass, tn surfeit and disgust any ordinary mind
We certainly have no wish to see such feelings
renewed; We lately did all could to suppress
them; bat let the day come when il aill VIC shall
lac found upon the side Of the american sys-
tenn" which encourages and supports domestic
industry; prepares in time of peace for the ex-
ige"eies Of var, and rc",lcrs independent Of
foreign powers, and able to bear up against all tie
reverses which may be created by the political Vi
rissitudcs Of the old world.
