1.-THE result and the progress Of the North Carroll
ma election of u. s. Senator are much talked of
here, as indicating the strength Of Mr.. Calhouns
friends in that State. The mass of the people there,
are, it is believed, in his favor aud even the Wings
would support him against any other Democratic can
JiJate."
We observed that the Richmond Enquirer,
pending the contest, said, in effect that he
hoped Mr.. Saunders would not consent TO owe
his election TO Wing votes. Why not7 Is not
Mr. Saunders known Democrat And does
not the fact that the North Carolina Wings pre-
ferred him as known Democrat, because he j.
a Calhoun Democrat-prove the correctness Of
the opinion Of the South and SO ilhwest, viz {:
that Mr. Calhoun, and not Mr.. Van Buren,, can
