The Wings have not polled their full vote, say
these gentlemen; and yet Mr.. Manly runs but 696
votes behind Mr.. Clay, and only fifty behind Gov.
Graham!
If there has been no Sc transfer of strength from
the Wings to the Democrats how does it happen
that Col. Reid has received 2249 votes more than
Col. Hoke got and 1895 than Mr.. Polk receiy-

not Whig votes?

DEATH OF A. A. AUSTIN ESQ.

1t is with the deepest regret, that we feel called
upon to perform the melancholy duty of announcing
readers the demise of A. A. Austin, Esq, late
of Warren County, the 9th inst, and We learn,
very Unexpectedly.
Here, where the deceased was we'll and extensive
ly known, his death is sincerely amented for the
elements of which his character was made up, en-
deared him to all who had the pleasure of his ac-
quaintance. He was man of refined education and
high intellectual attanments and constantly practis-
ed that true politeness which always respects the
feelings of others. Nor he less beloved for the
qualities of his heart than the accomplishments of his
mind. His innate generosity rendered him kind to
all who came within the sphere of his influence .
to the poor he was humane and chartable courteous
to his equals and always the gentleman; while in his
house, the virtues of hospitality were increasingly
practised.
If his death be so deeply lamented by the friends
who survive him, with what crushing must it
not fall his bereaved widow, and three lovely chill
dren. They are left to mourn the loss of one who
fulfilled all the duties of the husband and father with
the utmost love and tenderness. We know the desc
latlon that fills their hearts, would in
trude on the sacredness of their grief only
pray, that " He who tempers the blast to the shorn
lamb may enable them to bear up under their sad
afliction. When the softening hand of time shall
have somewhat abated the pognancy of their sorrow,
then a sweet consolation will be connected with
thought of him they loved so well, in the remem-
brance of those virtues by which his character was
adorned.
The deceased, at the time of his denise was about
thirty four years of age and about two years prev-
Gus to that event. had been selected represent his
fellow citizens in the Legislature of the State. He
was we'll qualified, by his talents and education,
fill any station with credit his death we consider
public loss and, fear, it will be long the
void 1t has occasioned can be 50 ably filed.

THE GALLANT COLONEL BRAGG.

A dinner was given to this gallant officer, few
days since, by number of gentlemen in New York
City. Col Bragg spoke at length, in reply to a
complimentary toast, and in conclusion said
understand me, gentlemen, am a soldier, and
no politician know General Taylor only sol
dier and l speak of him only the Com
mander-in-Chief of our army in Mexico. l have
nothing to do with his politics, yours. 1t is the
duty of soldier cheerfully to obey whomsoever you
put into power. could not help speaking of my
Commander when thus toasted, as have been by
you, for services under him. l have nothing to do
with politics."
We pleased to record these evidences of re-
spect for one worthy, as Col. Bragg is in every
sense, to receive them. Long may he live, orna-
ment to his countrys arms, and of the brightest
Jewels in the crown of old North Carolina!

SENAToR FROM BEAUFORT AND HYDE. We are irl-
formed that there is normaity in the returns for
the election of State Senator from the Senatorial Dis
trict of Beaufort and Hyde. The act passed by the
General Assembly of 1923 directs that the vote
for Senator for the two counties be compared
Leachville .'on the second Thursday in August
The comparison not made on that day, but on the
following Thursday. The certificate given the Sena-
tor from that district is therefore clearly illegal and
informal, and only be legalized by the action of
the Senate ITSELF will of course deprive the Sena-
tor elect from taking his seat only long the Sem
ate have it under consideration, which consideration
cannot have until after the organization of that body
We make this matter public at this time in order to
direct the attention of the Legislature it. 1t will
not result in oustng the Senator elect from his seat,
but until his case and that of Mr.. Berry of Orange
is decided upon, the two parties will possess their
proper relative strength in the Senate.

THE l." HIGH-FALUT1N," STYLE.


The Register of Saturday last in introducing Gen.
Tyors ry last letter to its readers. perpetates the
following:
awe venture to assert-subject it even, if you
will, to the prejudiced structure and inscriptions
criticism of political opponents-that there is not
line of the entire production which be anchor
ated either.in the purity of purpose integrity of
character that it portrays. The virtuous patriotism
of Camillus, blended with the valor of Lucullus--
the integrity of Fabrcius united to the sagacity of
Pericles-these are the qualities which have COM
mended Zachary Taylor, to the American People,
The above is the best specimen of the hgh5alutin'
style which we have had the pleasure of seeing for
long time past. Why, according to the above de-
scrpton of old lack and his late letter. he is nearly
as great man John Kerr, Esq. of Caswell. In
January last Correspondent of the Register spoke
of Mr.. Kerr as follows:
GA man of pre-eminent capacity, of gigantic in
telect-a mind well stored with useful knowledge,
tenacious memory and enviable acumen-Gs
braue LeOndGs, patriotic ReguhIs, fluent as
IuHy patient as SeipiO and perserering as Mu-
tius, his country should elevate him to any station
that honor could dignity, or merit adorn.''
There now! Did any body hear it thunder!

"HERE's TO YOU, HARRY CLAY 20

The Baltimore Correspondent of the New York
Herald says:
''The New York movement in favor of Henry
Clay for the Presidency, meets with a most hearty
response from many whig heart in Baltimore. The
nomination of Taylor political death to Clay, and
they want, and willing, accompany him to his
grave. There is no doubt but that meeting will be
held here, in few days, and the election of Cass
is becoming daily more apparent those who resisted
Taylor's nomination desirious of casting their
votes for the of their heart They also urge that
there is probability of the election going into the
House, in which case Mr.. Clay would stand as good
chance as any of the party.
The same Correspondent adds:
"Two bets were made in this city yesterday, of
$780, the election of General Cass, and the mon
ey deposited. So, you see Cass stock is up in this
quarter. democratic mass meeting was held last
night, and was largely attended, and they appeared
to be getting their spirits up in good earnest.''

ONO IOlffiCS.
The capital city of the State of Ohio has steadily
improved since our last visit, several years ago.
For its size, II is decidedly one OF the most ele-
CANT and prosperous inland settlements In the
Union.
Columbus is the focal point OF Ohio politics,
and one Of the strongest holds OF the VIII gs the
State. The campaign for Governor and President
is carried on with the largest freedom OF discus
sion, Bowie knives and pistols not being the
fashion here, as IN the Southwest, or else there
would perhaps be more sparing application of
such terms among the editors as coward, liar de-
faulter, base groveling scoundre drunken loaf
err and such like eegan. expressions, IN daily
interchange among Ohio newspapers.
The election for Governor comes off next Tues
day. Senator Allen, Colonel Morgan, Senator
Bright, and other democ rats, are still busy on the
stump in the surrounding counties. The wings,
we believe, have got through and Mr.. Corwin
has gone home to await the result. and we shall
perhaps wait here to reporti it. THE Doctor.
