The Raleigh Register gives the following as
the vote in Wake county: Daniel 72o; AIRING
Ton $40; Toolc 53-all Democrats-and adds;
Gust before the election, The impression be-
came fixed that the only chance Of defeating DG-
MIL, [lhe regular nominee, was 10 vote iof d'-
rington, and nearly every Wing in The county,
who voted atall did 50 Tor Arlington.
This is a remarkable admission OF Wing
organ, which professed so much devotion 10 Gen'
Taylor. Here were three Democratic candi-
dates and no Wing in The field, and Toole, one Of
them, had come on, openly i'll favor OF General
Taylor for President; yet he received only my
Arec voics in The county, The Wings all rallying
upon Arlington 10 defeat the regular Democratic
candidate. This striking fact proves that The
Wings al heart have no great liking for old
Rough and Ready, who has "ru'iely rejected their
embraces" as one Of their organs con!ended;l
their sole object seems To be 10 defeat The Demo
cratic party, and seize The Ieins Of power with lis
"spoils OF office"
The returns indicate pretty certainly The cleo
lion of Daniel, The regular nominee.
The National Wing, ON The evening OF The
election, was in high spirits al The encouraging
intelligence from The Petersburg District, and was
prepared 10 publish The result Immediately in an
extra" llalgned that, in April, the whole Wing
