NORTH CAROLINA

The election in this State took place Thursday.
The result is uncertain. The Wings finding that
they could not sustain themselves in opposition to
Texas, have generally declared in favor of an
nexation. MIR. Graham, the Wing candidate fol-
Governor has been Senator in Congress and Speaker
of the House Of Representatives. He is popular
man. and of fine talents so much were it not for his
being Wing he would have not been opposed by
the Democrats. His competitor is deserving man
but less known, and if elected it will be the triumph
of the party-decsively in favor of the Democratic
State is doubtful.

THE DEATH OF MR.. POUL son.

We regret TO announce the death of our venerable
fellow-citzen. ZACHARIAH POULSON, Esq
This event took place at his residence Chestnut street.
yesterday morning, little before seven o'clock. Mr.
Poulson was for long time editor and proprietor OF
the American Daily Ad.drser. Throughout his
editorial career, he was distinguished for courtesy
towards his professional brethren while in private
life, benevolence of heart kindness and urhanity OF
manners, and undertaking integrity in all his dealings,
were the prominent traits Of his character. He was
connected with several of our Literary and Chara-
BILE Institutions, of the founders of the Phil
adelphia Society for aeviating the miseres OF
public prisons, of which, at the time Of his death he
was the presiding officer He also Director
of the Philadelphia Library Company, and held re-
sponsible and important stations in other institutions
We understand that Mr.. Poulson was born in the
year l76l He was, therefore, at the time of his
death, SO years of age. His health had been declining
for several months prior to his decease and although
he suffered severe pain, he bore his affections with
Christian iortitude and resignation. Few men have
lett behind them brighter example of all the duties
OF life than the late Zacbarah Pouson.-I hiiadei-
phia Inquirer.

that the statement IS fasehood Ii is well know n
that charges Of this kind almost invariably originate

THE UNION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

We find that the New York Evening Post the We
teran editor of which was Of the signers to the
secret circular, the oil ject Of W hich to elect
anti Texas members Of Congress, has the ne
cessity OF retracing his steps. He publishes preg-
nant article from the Albany Argus on the subject
The circular attempt to consummate the con
spracy Of Benton and the Globe, to sell the Demo
cratic party for Abolition votes and the coqueitine
between Mr.. Dix and MIR. Wright and Col. Benton
proves that their purpose in supporting the candidate
Of the party for the present. is only to retain foot
ing in il, that they may hereafter betray it, Their
arrangements are not yet compIete-they cannot
throw oil the entire mssk-hey must profess to
tain the candidate, but they must at the same time
send members to Congress opposed to annexa ton
that they may oppose the measure to accomplish
which the candidate wa: selected. This is Benton's
selfish game. For this he is now laboring in Mis-
souri, and for this he intends, as soon as the election
in Missouri is over, to visit every member of the
legislature, that he may make bargain with each
to his reelection to the Senate. We ask the
People OF Missouri 10 take u note Of his promises
and to mark his progress. He who would sell the
South for Abolition votes cannot be safely trusted.

A VISIT TO THE u. S. STEAMER LEGARE.-Yester-
day, agreeable 10 invitation, large number of our
citizens paid visit to the above steamer, and
received with all the courtesy and kindness by her
gallant commander, for which ne is Justly ceebra-
ted. II would occupy more space than we have to-
day. TO give full description of this steamer; suf.
hce II TO say, she perfect in every part, and
found much to admire and nothing to condemn
The Legare was built under the special superinten
dence OF Capt. Hwoard and is entirely of wrought
ron, IS l22 feet deck, "a feet BEAM and III feet
hold her deck is very spacious and is as white as
parlor floor about midships is immense gun, car
ryng ball Of about "a pounds, and is, fired by per-
cusson waller or cap, the whole Of which we under
stand, was planned by Capt. III. Besides this there
are smaller cannon, mounted carriages, and every
thng is IN true "man ofpar style" She is propelled
by one OF Ericssons powerful propellers and as an
evidence OF her great speed, saw it stated few
days since IN New York paper, that she beat the
steamer Great Western nearly two miles in one
hours run, the Great Western having the assistance
OF her sails. and the Legare being under bare poles.
We hail this visit of Capt. Howard's as an suspicious
event, proving, as il does, that q vessel of war can
be brought Immediately to our wharves and we
look forward to the day when such vessels will be
built here.
Our City Council and public authorities paid vi.
SIT 10 the steamer early in the day, by special invita-
ton, and we were also glad to so many ladies on
board, and doubt not, but for the heavy rain the
number would have heen much larger. Captain F. s
company Of artillery fired salute Council Cham
Der Hill, which was returned by Captain Howard in
handsome style while the company was on board
The discipline of the vessel seems complete and il is
due TO her officers that should express our sense
OF the polite attention shown every vsiter and their
kindness IN exhibiting and explaining the purpose
aud use OF the various arrangements and equipments
so new TO most Of us landsmen. Captain Howard
will bear with him the best wishes of our citizens
for the welfare and happiness Of himself and crew
and the safety and success of his noble steamer
