fact. according to the respectable Gov. Gayle,

OSsLow D1sCUssIoN.--The Wilmington
Commercial of last Tuesday, in noticing the
report of the discussion at Jacksonville, on
the 4,h inst, which appeared in this paper
last Friday, " learns. verbally, that the Wings
are very we'll satisfied at the result" of said
discussion. Well, if the Wings are satisfied
with the impression made upon the minds of
the the people of Onslow, by Messrs. Davis
and Washington, on that occasion, we assure
the Commercial the Democrats have nothing
10 regret. 1t is of very little consequence,
whether the Commercial looks upon the Dem
ocratic speakers on that occasion, in a very
favorable light or not 1t is enough for us to
bear witness to the manner in which the dis
cussion was conducted. and that every charge
that was made by the federal Electors was
successfully refuted by Messrs Stevenson
and CantweH. For our part, we are perfect
ly willing that the election on the 9TH OF No.
vember next, should decide how many new
recruits was gained TO the rotten cause of
whiggery by the speeches of the two federal
orators on that accession. Probably after the
election is over, the &c talents" of the two
democratic speakers alluded 10 above, will
not be looked upon as sc of no very inconsider-
able consequence" by the Commercial. So
far as some of the proprietors of the Journal"
is concerned, he is perfectly content that the
report of the discussion at jacksonville
g should excite the rilicule of every federal
list in the land. He expected nothing less
than that the renowned editor of the CONNER.
eial should become " excited at the report !;
for it is perfectly in keeping with his party
particularly the leaders of ito attempt to dis
palage everything that happens to come
from the democratic party. But as yet,
&c one of the proprietors of the Journal has
not seen the first instance in which the fair
ness of the report of the Onslow discussion has
been aueetionea. We .-,-- Cor e.--~.-a,
therefore, that the report was not only fairly
made, but that it was indeed liberal towards
the federal Electors. +.
{s-The Election in Maine, for Governor,
members of Congress and Legislature, came
off on Monday last. We shall, probably, be
able to give the result! next Friday.
P. S.-Since the above was in type, we
have received the Baltimore Sun of the ! 9th
inst, which contains the following telegraph
c intelligence relative 10 the election in Maine
So far, ALPS we'll for the Democrats.

These are all the returns have thus far
been able to obtain.
VERMoNr.-The election for Governor and
Members Of the Legislature OF this State took
place on the LIST inst We have not yet re-
celved the final result. but from the returns
already at hand, we are inclined to think that
the federalists have made gain of members
TO the Legislature. Our federal contemporaries
inform us that their candidate for Governor is
not elected by the people; and that the cleo
ton of the Governor will devolve upon the
Legislature. We are not SO very sure that
the feds have made much, if any, sain in the
popula' vote of Vermont
YEw- YoRK.-The Democratic State Con.
ventlon of New York, which assembled on
the 5th instant, nominated Chancellor Wal.
WORTH for Governor, and CHARLES OCoNNER
for Lieut. Governor. The correspondent of
the Washington Union, under date of the 9Th
inst. says that "A better nomination could
not, by any possibility, have been made
They will carry the whole strength of the
party, besides thousands who will vote for
them out of respect which the high characters
of both command. Rest assured we shall
make great fight on this ticket, and the re.
suit is not even doubtful.
