BY THE LAST SOUTHERN MAIL
NORTH CAROLINA ELECTIONS.

N'N
tice of the Elections in this State. We would
say to the Wings that the question is already
decided MIR. Van Buren, is beaten; but that is
not enough, the fell spirit of his party must be
killed, and we must not relax efforts. It Is
an evil weed, and it must be taken up by the
roots. Let no Wing rest on his oars until the
whsle battle is fought.
From the Raleigh Register.
Our General Election for Governor and MeFn-
bers of the State Legislature, takes place
Thursday the 18th inst In some of the coun-
ties however, to avoid interference with the ar
rangement OF the Courts, the Election is held
on days preceding the day of General Election.
| For example, the counties embraced in the Dis
tricts represented by Gen. HAWKINS and MIR.
STANLY, voted on Thursday last, and we have
received partial returns which we publish below.
| The first news from North Carolina always seems
discouraging to those not acquainted with the
! fact, that several of the heaviest Loco Foco
counties are the earliest heard from We state,
therefore, for the satisfaction of our friends
abroad that the returns, so far as received, go to
confirm our confident expectations that North
Carolina will prove herself Wing all over. 1t
will be observed, that though only four counties
are heard from, there is a Wing gain in the
Legislature of one member. We subjoin partlcu-
lars:

KENsINGToN RAIL RoAD.-A large meeting,
irrespective of party, was held in the Hay Mar
ket, Philadelphia, on Monday afternoon last. A
series of resolutions were adopted; among the
number, we sum up the following as the sense of
the meeting, wiz
That no act of the legislature, could, in ac,
cordance with section of the amended consti-
tuition, give power to any company to construct
rail road or canal on private property without
awarding an equivalent to the own ers-
That the part of Front street in which the
rails were attempted to be laid, was private pro-
perty, and for which no compensation was re-
eeived or offered
That the attempt by the company to lay down
the rails, was in itself the commencement of a
riot, inasmuch as it was an assemblage of more
than three persons, to do unlawful act. The
presses are denounced for condemning the pro-
ceedings of the people against the company
They also recommend the dismissal of the Pre-
sident of the Railroad Company, though many
persons were in favor Of the withdrawal of this
resolution. Mr.. PennimaH contended that the
act authorizing the construction of the railroad
had been struggled through the Legislature =
The manner in which two of the rioters were
tried, was denounced with unqualified severity,
by Mr.. Ingersoll, and sustained by the meeting,
who also acquiesced in determination to sus-
| toin the Governor if he hardened those men,

AH.apInud wedding.

1t is death in Lapland to marry maid
without her parents or friends consent;
therefore. if one bear affection to a young
maid. upon breaking thereof to her friends,
the fashion is that a day Is appointed Tor
their friends to meet to behold the young
parties run race, together. The maid Is
allowed in starting the advantage OF "a third
part in the race, so that it is impossible,
except she will of herself be overtaken.
If the maid overrun her suitor, the matter
is ended; he must never have her, it being
penal for the man to renew the offer OF
marriage. But if the virgin hath affection
for him, though at first running hard tc
try that truth of his love, she will (wlthou

The Sponge Fishery.

When at the Iseland of Rhodes, went
to the sponge fishery, whichis curious and
interesting. 1t is laborious and dam
gerous employment, but so lucrative, that
five or six successful days afford those en-
gagged in it the means of support an entire
year. The sponge is attached to rocks at
the bottom of the sea, serving as retreat
to myrads of small crustaceous animals
which occupy its cavities. The fisher
man dive for 1t to the depth of even hun
dred feet, and sometimes continue for five
or six minutes under water, unless the
quantity of sponge they may have collec-
ted becomes inconvcnientor unmanagable,
when they are hauled to the surface by
the crew of the boat to which they be-
long. The divers occasionally fall VIC
TINS to sharks that attack them under
water. The sponge is prepared for mar
ket by being pressed to dislodge the ami
malcule it contains, and afterwards wash
ed in I've to deprive it of mucilaginous
Marmont.

Dcpcud Upon Yourselves.

The success of individuas in life, is,
under God, greatly owing Q their learn
ing early to depend upon heir own re-
sourses. Money, or the eXlectalion oil 1t,
by inheritance, has ruine' more men,
than the antofitever did. Teach young
men 10 rely upon their own efforts, to be
frcal and Industrious, and on have fur
nished them with protective capital
which others cannot wrcst fom them, and
which they themselves will ot be disposed
to aleniate. This is peculiarly the case
in this country, where mn must be the
mt;Gcer of his own fortue. where the
road is open to all, where tose whowould
win must labor for the ,rizc. Edward
Everett has well said 18th times, as well
as universal experience, abundantly adj
monish, that however ne children OF
wealth may indulge in incidence and DIS
sipation while their meas last, ought to
depend upon their labor or their fortunes
and their usefulness. Fortune is at best
precarious--palrimonial'lependance is I'M
certain. and reliance upon the Friendship
or charity of,he world, or upon Office, is
lrail and debasing. Scli-dependnce il
the only sure stay. We are ever willing
to lrlp those who help thcwsf Pro
