North Carolina.

RALEIGH, n. {. Aug. q leH
To the Editor Of The Tribune:
We have Just passed through the most exciting
political contest ever witnessed il North Carolina.
The means resorted to by the Loco. Foco party to
obtain a temporary triumph on Thursday, have
been unparalleled for baseness and violence The
State has been flooded with Kendal's blasphe-
nous tracts, and Texas documents, and the
President er.oGicio of the " Democratic Tract
Society here, w. II. Haywood, Jr. U. S. Sen
ator, not content with crowding the mails with
such matter as he has received from abroad, has
turned author himself, and just upon the eve Of
orally gluttcd with tract, or rather two tracts,
issued from Raleigh, and intended to operate
upon the Governors electionr OF these tracts it
is enough to say that they were every way wor.
thy of the author-mserablc appeals to the West
to vote for Hoke because he was a Western man,
and for Polk because they were for Gen. jackson !
Democratic Members of Congress and Demo
cratic ofIicchoders, State and National, have
volunteered in behalf of 'HOke, Polk and Ter.
as" Gen. Saunders has been stumplng The
State nominally in behalf of his friend Hoke, but
really in behalf Of himself, as there is vacancy
IN the Supreme Court Bench which the General
is anxious to sec properly filled, and North
Carolina Loco-Foco is never particular what OIL
flee he gets, so he gets life estate in II. But all
this has been of no avail. The Wings have qu
city and calmly, without excitement and without
organic alton, awaited the coming of the storm
It has beat upon US, and we are now clearing the
wreck and preparing 10 take reckoning A
'long, low, dark, suspicious looking scsooner "
S floating past US bottom up, deserted and scut-
tied, and on her stern we can discover, with the
aid of glass, "HOke, Polk and TEXAS" Now
and then poor fellow pokes his head above the
water and begs to be taken on board but ,ce are
done taking IN.
But to The point: North Carolina has again
placed herself in the front rank Of the Wing
amy and planted the Wing banner on the IN
nermosf Ldttiement Of the enemy's fortress. We
nave returns from nineteen Counties only, and
thus far the Wings have gained fifteen Members
Of the Legislature and lost one Already the
Loco. Foco majority of the last Legislature is
swcp. away. and tomorrow night Wing thunder
will begin 10 roll down from the Mountains
Graham every where runs ahead of the Wing
ticket, and CLAY piU beat Graham in epery
County in the State! Our majority for Governor
will exceed fire thousand, and perhaps reach
eight. But it is useless 10 wait ior particulars;
enough is already known TO authorize you 10 an
noguce to the Wings of New York. FIJI! com
plete oRd glorious rictory for The Wigs Of
Narth Carolina, and TO pledge on her behalf
Ten thousand majority for CLAY and FRELlsG.

Condition of Hayti,

"St Domingo or Hsytl, the Island on which
exists the Negro Republic of Hayti, so much

sixty years ago, at the time the French possessed

Itraised more produce, owned more shipping nm

was found q note stating hat ne was innocent,

Remarks.

The capacity of the African race to maintain
and profit by Republican institutions is certainly
not established by the example of Hayu In
deed, we may well doubt that any race, who but
Yesterday knocked off the shackles OF Slavery,
with its necessary accompaniment of ignorance
and utter dcbasement, is fitted to set an example
of self.government Neither can we expect that
a race Who have for generations been driven to
labor by the lash can at once appreciate and ac-
cept Labor as proper and healthful condition OF
Freedom. To the slave of yesterday, as well as
the slave OF to-day, idcness and entire exemp-
ton from control seems the perfection Of happi-
ness even with scanty and precarious food. The
condition of Hayti is warning against sudden
and violent changes in the Social condition of a
people. Had the planters of that Island but
obeyed the Emancipation Act Of the French Con-
vention and at once heartily undertaken to con-
form to the new state Of things thus created, it
would have been infinitely better for all parties.

JACKSON. Miss. July q. ls44.
If the Wings in this State use the proper exer-
tions, Mississippi may be carried for Clay and
Frelinghuysen. She gave a large majority for
Harrison, and the same result may again be
achieved if the Wing will but work and organ
&c. But two OF our Electors have yet started
On their duty-Guion and Bradford; both are
efficient, able and prominent men.
Many OF our opponents are much disafected
at the nomination of Polk over Van Buren,. Ex-
Gov. McNu,t did publicly express his indigna-
tion at the conduct OF the Convention. Joseph
5. Leake, of Lowndes, has also 10 a long letter
done the same. There are several Locos IN this
city who cannot gulp Polk, and will not vote at
all unless for Clay, or be whipped into the traces.
Let good and correct documents be circulated
among the people of this State, and my word for
it, Clay gets the vote OF Mississippi. The great
bugbear OF taxing the masses" TO pay the
bends cannot be brought into this contest with
success. Folks conduct, while Speaker of the
House OF Representatives, in d!sfranchising this
State, is still fresh in the Sinds of the people it
@as his casting vote that deprived the consutu
lionaly elected Representatives, Prentiss and
Word, OF their seats. l would warn you and
yocs readers from believing the statements you
may see or hear OF great changes" taken place
ia this State from Wing 10 Loco as such is not
The fact. The Locos are disposed to use any
means in their power to defeat the Wings, and
their boastei changes is but another of their psl
try devices to catch votes. PERRY.
