the spirit Of Progress and Reform. North Caro-

tant respects TO the spirit of the age esPecl-
ally in that Of requiring a Freehold Qualtica-
ton of Voters for the Senate. This qusliiica-
ton has generally operated against the Wings,
who are almost always relatively weaker IN the
Senate than in the House Of Commons, which Is
chosen by Free Suffrage and we have known
the Senate to be against rs when the House was
with us. movement was recently set on ioot
for Constitutional Convention, with direct refer
ence to the 15olition Of this Freehold requsitlon
and other anomalies. The prominent Wing Lead
ers. and especially Mr.. Manly, the estimaole
Wing candidate for Governor, took ground against
it the Wing journals did not favor It. Their adj
versaries evinced more Democracy or more gump-
ton. The consequence is what we now see.
Wings who were in favor Of Convention and OF
Equal Suffrage would not vote, since their votes
if for Reid would be counted for Cass and If Tor
Manly would tell against a Convention. Many
waived all scruples and voted with their party
but others would not, and kept away from the
polls Their detection is probable most serious IN
the Wing strongholds Of the West-the upland
region which is almost exempt from the curse OF
slavery-Guford, Iredell wilkes, Buncombe,
Burke. Rutherford &c. Unless it is an object 70
have the WING party continually suffering from
local causes we think the facts in this case may
as well be generally known.
KEsTUcKY.-Mr. Crittenden is doubtless chosen
Governor by 5000 to 5000 majority, though he
came near suffering from his past resistance to
constitutional Convention. He came out man
fully, however, in favor OF such Convention ms a
thing settled by the popular verdict OF last year,
and was forgiven A desperate attempt was
made to identity him with the systematic dispar-
agement Of Mr. Clay prior 10 the Philadelphia
Convention, but he beat down his assailants and
triumphed. An able and chiyalric Statesman Mr..
Crittendens personal qualities have done him
good service in the and his victory Is one
Of which he may well be proud.-The Lieut.. Gov
ernor John L. Heinz Legislature, u : Senator,
&c are all OF piece. Kentucky will cast her
vote for Gen. Taylor by large majority.
MlssouRl.-Like the handle OF a jug, as usual.
Taylorzing wins us nothing there. Perhaps one
Wing may have slipped into Congress but We
don't see where. James b. Bowlin, OF the st.
Louis District which might be Wing IS reelected
by 600 majority or more, and he has very probably
four Foco colleagues as at present.
INDlANA.-Foggy as yet though the returns
we have received rather indicate a Loco Foco
Legislature If so, Senator flanagan will go
back. We could just endure his Loco-Focoism.
in view OF his many good qualities, but MS AFFECT
prostration to the Slavery Extensionists is intol
erable-This State is to be struggled for in No
vember.
| ILLrNoIs.-Nothing very clear as yet, but there
are encouraging symptoms for the future Free
Soil Democracy in the North, Taylorized Democ-
rscy IN the South and West and general disup.
tion OF party bonds, give reason to hope that the
worse than Turkish desp otism in which the State
has long been mmured is doomed. What the
Methodist clergyman prayed to be delivered from
as 'prarie-wof Democracy has become unbear
able through It's trafcs and transfers, aud VIII be
whipped out whenever the dscordant elements
opposed to it can be combined in one movement
Our present impression is that this cannot be ef-
iected yet and that the State will vote for Cass
We do not regard this as certain, but highly
probable.
IowA.-There has been desperate struggle

sumo the Wings have lost it. The Telegraph
says Lee and Des Moines Counties are Loco
Foco, and without these we do not see how there
can be a Wing Legislature Lee we carried two
years since by coalition with a spill, of from the
other side nick-named Possums, and it was
urged that the nomination of Taylor would be ac-
ceptable to the Possums, and secure us the Le-
eislature and the L. :. Senators. The calculation
has failed. Still, Iowa is very equally divided in
politics, and it is very doubtful who viii receive
her vote tor President
We submtthat the Tayorzation Of the Wing
party has not, so far, paid expenses. or the fu-
ture, we are not inclined to prophecy Sufficient
