Glorious Victories T!

Norm CARoLnSA has proudly come to the Res
cue, with her Is electoral votos FOR Old Tip. The
regent election is glorious. The annexed letter
tells the story: ..-a.. .r

| North Carolina evinces determination to take
the lead OF Indiana. We have certa,n accounts
that Morehead has majority Of S, 943 in 80 coun-
to Ten TIC Thus is "o, 'ie ess
State is es,ab lshed--it is Wing all Overt The pop
uar voice is Wing, the Executive is Wing, the
Leg slature is Wing, and its sovereign representa-
ton in the senate of the United States will he
Wing. .......,..-. ..r ...E.-.-. -.t
This eleotion.in North Carolina will not be with
out its effect on the whole South. Taken with the
result in Louisiana and Alabama and Kentucky il
affords such conclusive evidence of popular feeling
in the South as leaves to doubt that the
votes OF Georgia and Tennessee will be given to
Gen. Harrison by large majorities. Look at the
vote in the counties in Alabama bordering on Geor
gia, and you find large Wing gain. 1t is not pos
sibe that this revolution in popular opinion IN be
confined by the artificial line that diV des tho two
States. Ii is idle to suppose And look at Ken
lucky counties adjoining Tennessee, and you see
re same evidences Unpopular change 1t is iea-
song against facts TO contend for any other view.
What, then, results from what is here shown to be
true be, ond controversy? 1t is shown from this,
that without the vote Of either New York Penn syl
vania or Virginia, GALL Of which he is certain to ge)
Gen. Harrison would be elected President. He
will get Massachusetts Ia, Vermont 7. Rhode Is
land 4, Connecticut 8, New Jersey 8, Delaware 3,
Maryland 10, North Carolina Is, Georgia u Lou
isana S, Tennessee Is, Kentucky Is, Indiana 8, O.
hio 81, and Michigan 3-makng in all 14s votes,
ard he is elected. Let any friend of the admins
tration, who doubts the election of Gen. Harrison,
look at this statement, and if he knows any thing
Of the progress of events he must he satisfied tina,
there is no chance for Mr. Van Buren,. But il is
not only these l4S electoral votes that are GER
tain for Gen. Harrison. He will carry New York
and Virgi as certainly as the day Of election
comes So will he Pennsylv aDia, and has equal
chance for Maine, Illinois, Alabama and Mssissip
pi. Where is the use then, of the Loco Focos pro
longing the contest They profess to be Democrats
and many Of them doubtless How these
latter hold out against the popular will, and resign
themselves TO the hands of the offico-holders that
they may make the people? Let them win
dicate these principles bv their conduct and lend
their aid to restore the Government to its original
and constitutional limits. |. ....
