The Congress of the United Stalcs-and, during
Inc two last sessions Of the Virginia Legislature
nc was The Speaker OF the House OF Delegates
ana The member elect from the county of Isle Of
Wight TO The next House Of Delegates
NORTH CAROLINA ELECTIONS.
The returns come in but slowly, and we can
form no opinion of the result. In the counties
heard from. il will be seen That the indomi,ablc
Democrats OF the "Old North" have gained large
~ since loi1, when Harrisons majority was H.,
3'l. Whether the gain is large enough To over
come that large majority is yet to be seen.
When Graham, the most popular Wing in
| North Carolina, was nominated Tor Governor, the
Wing organs predicted tina! his majority would
be l5,oO0. Some time before the election we le-
celved letter from North Carolina which in
formed us that there was 4 great want of olgani-
2atlon among the Democrats. I'm several coun-
ties which we could have carried we had no can
GidateS. Hence our loss in the Legislature. We
have gained considerably in the popular vote
and if we are now beaten from the want of eff
Client organization our friends will have every in
ducemeni TO make a great rally for November,
and may then redeem the State for Polk.
