The Presidential election took place in this State
yesterday, and The result, although not yet known
may be anticipated with certainty. The letter
from Judge Barbour, which issued in an extra
from this office last week, view ed in this Sec
ton as amounting to virtual Withdrawals; and his
friends, therefore thought it would be nothing bet
ter than throwing away their votes to continue tn
support him. AS, however, this letter could not
have reached some parts of the State, he has no

In consequence of Judge Barbour's letter to the

votes tor Con. Jackson, and avoid eommitta in
favor of Van Buren,.
The Fayetteville Observer insists that judge
Borbonr's letter furnishes no reason why his
friends in this State should desert him. 1t seems
that in that quarter the Ticket will still be voted
and the Observer calls upon the supporters of
Southern principles 10 exert themselves, and vic.
tory will certainly crown their efforts.
