beeye was sufficient auhorise the polls TO be ke Pi
OPEN or whether lie Ia enter upon general or
partial scrutiny Of the polls throughout the entire Ds
trict We are assured II all the circumstances attend
ing the election gone inio that same starting ne
cali,ies and impropr'ees 1--WE might say Iauds' We
", re- disposed TO follow The GIRL example of our violent
Wbigs will be d,scosedsuch as permitting votes 10
be taken agans, Mr.. Gmer before the polls were open
VOTING hy cundle light double voting IN several
counties, &c We have heard Of some instances,
where persons remain TO this time under the IMPRESSION
that they voted for Governor GimeT, whose names are

II the contest is confined to HE question Q! Keeping
The polls open il can he settled without much time,
trouble or expense But the whole election is TO he
examined ln,o the task wall be es endless, as will be
improbable 10 all concerned We have understood,
that a public meeting has been held by the Wings at
Lovinpston at which very violent resolutions
were adopted the motion OF certain notorious lead
Grand that the Wings generous enough to raise
purse to defruy Mr. Goggln's expenses What will
they do next
We have seen a number of letters from the most re-
.pecable sources giving the facts to The polls being
kent open IN Madison and Greene; and we venture TO
predict tina, when they publicly known, not one IN

s,ate to admit the perfect legality, and fairness oi the
proceedings We see that The tone Of the Wings is
already unde,ro ny change. They now assert, that
the rain IN The lower Counties was one OF those acct
dents which ,hongh icga, not entirely far, or that
il was en- accident and that Governor Gilmer ought 10
resign and The sgaln, III order TO afford
all The counties in the district, fair and equal oppor
,unity of voting. Suppose he were To do this. Might
it not rain agan; or NIGH. .o other cause in one
or more Of the counties OF the district, exist
which after the election, would produce dissatisfaction
with the defeated party Ii Us hard, we know, 10 be
reconcied 10 defeat under any circumstances II rs
particularly so with those who resored 10 means 10
beat Governor Gmrr, such have rarely Il ever been
resor,ed to in any country 10 bsat any man. We ad-
wise our friends, the Wings, TO keep cooi-to wat
awhile not 10 be too Clst-aud their own judgments
can presently dec;te better tham their prend'ces and
wrath can They may see what they little expect
ere long. More anon.
