First gun for cass ana Butlsr. Reid. Equal
ksuffage, and Democracy sending sdisnay into
the ranks Of FederalismH Taylorism and no
principles dead I'm North CarolinaI
On Thursday last the people of North Carolina
voted in their respective Counties for Governors
members of the Legislature, and for Sherltfs. we
present below the returns, far as received up to
the time of putting our paper to PRESS For taba-
lar statement of the vote for Governor, and for state
ment of the gains and losses in the Legislature, we
refer readers to another portion of this paper
Byaour next issue we shall doubt be able to fuE-
nish the full result, when shall take occasion to
submit such remarks as that result may suggest and
Justify. Whatever that result may be- one thing is
certain: Taylerism and no principles have received
such blow in North Carolina as fairly puts them
beyond all hope of recovery. The first gun for Cass
and Butler goes booming over the Confederacy from
the IS ssconfrmed Wing - State of North Carolina
and well may Whiggery and the advocates of mere
availability be startled by the sound. Fellow-demo-
Gratis of the Union what do you think 1On of old
North Carolina We know that your hearts were
with us, and that you hoped we would hold own;
but you could not anticipate, as we did, that we
should send such dismay and CONSERVATION among
the Taylor men in this stronghold of Federalism.
Put US do,cn at once for Czss and Butler. The work
of regeneating the old North State, so gloriously
begun in August, will be finished in November. :,
- WAKE COUNTY. '
In Wake County the Democrats have done nobly.
We claimed last week three hundred majority for
Reid in this County, and we have just got that ma
jority, and two to spare. Hokes majority over Gra

is 800 A gain of lO4 votes There was a clear
gain here in this City of 35 votes compared with the
vote between Hoke and Graham and of SIS, COM
pared with the vote between Shepard and Graham.
Col. Reid has got the largest vote ever cast in Raj
eigh for any Democratic candidate for Governor and
Mr.. Manly the smallest: A number of Wings voted
for Col. Reid here, and other Wings declined to vote
At all. Again we say, Wake County has done well !;
Ind if the other Counties have gained for Reid as we
nave done here at the centre he is certainly elected
We shall do better in November. Four hundred
majority for Cass and Butler! What say you BROTH
