 National Intelligencer is filled with eXulta- ton in advance "Vle gf course (says the lntelligencer) feel no apprehension Gs to t4e result, aehieb w3I Dc made kRo1cn 10 o@, renders as so0a aS the retl9'as come to ha1ld. :" f would seem, then, that inc vote of the peo- Dle of North Carolina has been taken before hand. through means of the Clay club or ranization and that all that is necessary now is to have the result attested by public vote; and .4s soon aS fbe returns come 10 hd1ld7 this confirming vote "uiH Dc nude kno7r@ to o8r Hbe IntelIigencer7s) readers" If the Intelliaencer has ground for such confidence anywhere, 1t must be i'll North Carolina ana Kentucky. In the one the federal majority. was, at the last presidential election, I2,394 --in the other 25.440. As these two States, witha louisiana. were the first of the southern States to lead off in the elections immediately preceding that for the presidency, the most indefatigable exertion has been used by Mir Clav personally, and by his friends, ln each of these States The augury ot failing oil in the leading southern States, on ticket headed by Mr. Clay, a southern man, from the vote obtained by Harrison, the northern candidate, has been justly considered by the shrewd tacficians as pretending overthrow everywhere. Hence Mir. Clay2s soIourn ln.I New Orleans last winter, his pilgrimage to North Carolina 10 close his career, and cele- brating his birthday in the capital of the State by his last speech, as il is announced to bel in the National lntelIigencer Such devotion to North Carolina, aiding the efforts of the whole train of active aud ardent federal poll ticians. who, with all tbeir Subordinate elec- doneerers, met him al Raleigh tosreceiye hls last instructions, Is conclusive with the lntel- I;eehcer that at leasta Harrison triumph Il nothing more, awaits the eXertlons ot hls party. < few days more will show how federalism holds is footing on its own ground.
 h Missouri, different system of tactics | has been resorted to by the federal managers. That being democratic State, the plan has been 10 divide the party, by starting ono set Of democratic candidates against another.- 'fhe iederalists in Missouri do not go for l fsdaraIisis ia the Democratic counties, but for independents and although the candi- dates who oppose the regular nominees of the party gre the loudest fer Polk, Dallas, and Texas, and against Clay, yet fl they succeed, every one of them will 5e chased and counted as cieaf gains to federalism, and the vote or the regular democratic ticket set down as all ] taat caa be depended upon in the presidential election. Something akin to this game was fplaved in Louisiana. There, almost every candidate oa the Clay ticket was IcXas man. The Texas men, therefore, had the assurance. that if ]Ir. Clay succeeded, they were putting in power those Who would con- vert him m favor oi their policy. They are l thus desuIod with the idea of having two strings 10 their bow # Polk carried the day l in the Union. they had Texas as a matfer of coufsc-if Clay should, then the jealous Texans his friends chosen in Louisiana would PrePidafe hjm to tRelr purposes. In this way, the running Texas candidates on fall the Clay tickets neutraiized the question E of greatest strength in that State; and yet, I8llhough the democracy carried three out of flour c0Hgrc cssHeH-the Senate-three-Giths Eof lhe convention 10 remodel the S,ate con- stiution-and eame within two of carrying the House of Representatives, notWithsland- ing the deIeat of the city ticket by the fraud committed by the suppression Of the natural ized votes, byswhieh the democracy lost seven members, Louisiana Is claimed as a federal HSa,e by the Glayiets.

 Iort2 In all these States the eagle of de- mocracy has plumed his wing, and his bright eye glances like tightening on all the vile, n- sidio0s, mole-like movements through which frauds, sappiag the power of honest suffrage, have sought with little success the overthrow of popular power. Gan they succeed now, when the genius of the country is fully awakened, and they stand broadly detected
 With regard to Alabama, Illinois, and h. diana, in which elections are to be held on Monday, we find no speculahons in the whig prints. The two first stood the test of 1840 and they could not, therefore, well delude l themselves into pleasant anticipations as to where they will be found; but Indiana, that gave Harrison 13,698 aiorty-why are they so silent now as to where she is to % : The following letter from Mr. Davis will ex- plain:
