verse with every Democrat IN your district

The Elections.
NORTH CAROLINA.

Our latest reports from North Carolina are 70
the following effect:
The Richmond Wing Tuesday says:
passenger in the cars yesterday stated that
complete returns have been received in Raleigh,
and that Morehead's majority was nearly seven
thousand, and that the Wing majority on joint
ballot at lest thirty!!! This is almost to good
to be true.
Our brother ewing" will have to swallow
something better than that before November
LATER. A the Counties are now heard
from but two or three, and the majority for
Morehead (wbig) is 8, 55o-making net
gain, since last year, of $3.50. The ma
iorty Of the Wings on joint ballot in the
Legislature, will be about 80. Where's

The case stands thus
Gain since 1890 1910 Gain since 1887 go

Gain since 1880 1910 Gain since 1897 go
1t will appear from the above, that during the
whole ten years since 1880, our population has
increased 1870; and during the three last years
since Is37-62o. 1t may be proper for us to re-
mark, however, that during the four years immedi-
atey after $780, our population, as near as we can
ascertain, decreased considerably. Probably the
greater part of the increase above stated has been
within the period since 1885.
For the qualification of our citizens, we are per-
mit,ed by the Deputy Marshall to make the follow
inc additional statements.

Prospects in Lincoln.

We do not deem it necessary, under present
circumstances, to publish "extracts' from all the
letters which our friends may deem proper to
favor us with, from the various sections of the
County, in order TO create special excitement,
or coax up fever after the plan of the loco foco
presses.
The two contending parties, in this county at
least, present novel spectacle. On the one
hand the administration presses and the scores of
office holders and recipients of government boun-
ty, are zealously, and we may add desperately
engaged in collecting the fragments of their scat
tered and disheartened army, hoping and laborng
with unparalleled exertion, to infuse into them
something of the spirit, which they were wont to
possess, when prosperity in great measure atten-
ded their efforts.
Not so, with the Democratic Whigs-the case
presents far different aspect. AS to office hold
ers, Government funds, or aid from the aristoc-
~ of Boston and elsewhere, we have neither, nor
do we need anything of the kind. We know of
a truth, that the utmost harmony and enthusiasm
prevails in our ranks throughout the entire coun-
ty The people are united as one man-and all
are determined upon efecting the election of our
nominated Canddates-every one of them, for
they are all "good men and true And we may
add, that for every change against u.s. we will be
responsible for fire in our favor.

ILLINOIS,,

The intelligence this morning from Illinois rem
ders il next to certain the Loco Focos have been
successful in maintaining their asceDdancy in
that State. We do not consider the vote cast for
members of the Legislature as furnishing any cri-
teritan for judging how thefstate will go at the
Presidential election, as local appear
have had more than usual influence in the
present struggle. We do not wish to be msun-
derstood in saying this, however, as we have no
idea of claiming the state for Harrison. In 1886
it gave Van Burena majority of 1883, and the
probability is that he will again receive tue cleo
toral vote of Illinois.
The Journal of Commerce has taken the trouble
to compile comparative table of the votes in 81
counties, which give the following result:
