NORTH CARnIlNA

''We give below returns from all the coun- ties in this State, except two small ones, Gates and Hyde. Il strikes us that there Is an error in favor of the whigs in the returns from Burke and Caldwell counties; but, as we can well afford to be liberal towards them, we gave them the benefit of the returns, giving them the largest-malority. Should Gates and Hyde come in as they did two years ago, {they are too small to alter much, the whig majority in the State will be 3,0Sl, showing n whig loss of l,5ll compared with the gub- ernatorial election of 1912; and of 9,228 compared with the presidential election Of lS40.

THE RESULT,

In lS40 Gov Morchead beat Judge Saun- ders for Governor 5000 votes; andHarrison beat Van Buren by l2,000 majority In tue present election we have reduced the maiori- ty for President between aine and len tsoasaad votes. and the vote for Governor has been brought down to 3 1000 majority. Is all this nothing? Are we not gaining rapidly upon the adversary In lS42 the whig majority was 4,oO0; now 1t is only 5000! Is this also nothing; Stepby step, charge by char we are beating downsthe enemy. We la3e attacked him in his strongest holds, and he must soon surrender. There is no hope for him. Now, it is true, the light breabs mo- mentarily from the clouds and beams upon him; but when the s'sun of Austerltzo shall ascend in his strength, darkness will gather upontlle hosts of coonery. For our part, we say, as our predecessor, Mr Loring, said in 1S40, s.Don't gire up fhe s6ip Ne tell you the State IS democraten

 DR. BoRLAND-Dear Sir ITS publication in the "Times and some time, l think, in April lssi npI myself and others with bargain a5d \ against General Byrd, in the An,a rp ton, l did not think proper to fsnl. ps% publication, at the time, as t Was si. founded in truth--and particulars Byrd came up the country, andma5.a at Dover, the county seat of Pone e.. which he took back all he had sa;S me and, farther said that he had g. informed and misled in regard tom, course in the convention.

 Imagine my surprise, Sir, When coming up here to ClarksVille, Wss, the intelligence that Gen.

He says that when stata convention, l was Byrd-maa, butb, met by Mir.

The truth is that ' Hays, at his own house, several dags started to Little Rock, and in conT, he remarked that he did not think In vote for Byrd and offered as reag as Byrd was the Senator from wbioi if he should be nominated and eees wings would claim 1t as, at least, kbI tory.

THE DEMOCRATIC IUBILEE.

ALL HAIL, TENNESSEE The great Democratic Mass Meeting at Nashville, on the l5th August, was the most successful, satisfactory and splendid affair that has ever taken place in the west We have no need to speak in description of it, any farther than 10 refer our readers to the glowing, and no doubt
 just, account of it, to be found on our fourth page, copied from, that best of Democratic papers, the Nashville Union. Inmauy if not in most instances, great promises, such were made in anticipation of this meeting, apt to fail in some particulars. But in this instance, the promises and antcipations, great as they were, were far exceeded-most glori- ously transcended alike in numbers, in magnicence of display. and in enjoyment THIRTY THOUSAND were erpected, and FIFTY THOUSAND came. Or, as the Union enthusiastically expresses it, sere aoere FIFTY ACRES of solid Democracy" in attendance
 The great, the good, the hard working men, the old the young, the woMEN-God bless 'eml were there. The PeoPle-the sovereign People were there taking counsel together, for the welfare of their country. Our oaly regret is that we were not with them.

 sDEATH OF MR.

 He is candidate for the respect and confidence of his fellow men, of which the oloners of the Ga zette, in their chagrin at not being able to obtain it tsmselpes have basely sought to rob him, who has long enjoyed it. In this little paragraph, in the Ca zette, we see at once the ''coyen foot of Col. se Vier's enemies. In hs absence they slpaaerea him. in the coward hope that they would be able to effect his ruin, before he could return and defend himself And no~, when he has returned and is meeting and re.uting the vile imputations with which he was as sailed behind his back, these midnight assassns of reputation are the first to cry out against the expo sure he is making of their dark misdeeds, and to complain of the blows of just retrbuton he is in- ficting upon them. Truly they will find, to their cost, '1ehat office he is candidate for'-and the place to which he will consign them in the estima- ton of all honest men,

GEN. BYRD's HoNEsTY.-As Gen. Byrd ia mals= ing his business to islander the personal characters of all who oppose his election we take occasion to examine, ttle into Its pretenslons to honesty h this connexion,-we charge that ulter he (Bydj had borrowed as much money, as he could get, from the State Bank prevailed upon late Col JAMES DANLEY, to lend his name, as principal, for some Jiee or sir Hundred dollars and that he failed to pay the debt, according to promise, but suffered an at tachment to be ssued by the Bank against Danley's property his negroes to be taken from his cotton field, and imprisoned for some time, at heavy expense, whilst he (Byrd) with his 20 or 30 hands, was enjoying perfect freedom. We further charge that Byrd made no arrangement whatever ta release Danley's property; that the debt is still un- paid and that suit is still pending, against Danley estate for the money What has this pink of hoaestJ to say to these charges?
 We are far from censurng any man for being in- able to pay his debts for that is a misfortune which atIcts many of the best and most honest men ir the country. But our charges against Byrd involve something very different from this They involve the crime of grossly deceiving friend and ther leaving him to suffer for his generous confidence Il is one form of obtaining money under false pre- fences. Is the man who has committed such an act, entitled to the vote of any honest man?
