IN HeEtfoHd-W. N. H. Smith, ESQ.,, in the Sena,e..
and the Hon. Kenneth RayneF in the I a,
rlend, writing from Murfreesboroupbl.s on ths
night OF the election, says: - s'I'o n'i adt -
his day has been to us one of excitement and
Pecuar interest True, We had no candidates to OPP
pose tne Whlgs OF our County, but still we Demo
cfaes have, been alive to our interests Hertforl
C9unty Is now Wing, but the time is not far distant

Many, though have been disappointed at the resalt
OF the Sheriff's election. John P. Bridges. demo-
crat, has been elected over Moore, whig, by ma
:" We were much amused as we'll as gratifed to
perceive that several Democrats voted for yourself
in opposition to Mr.. Rayner. You received twenty
Soees, an from as good Democrats breathe the
breath OF life Success to our principles! Go on,
anu iear not W. must and will triumph" .te1-.o2
Another friend, writing to us from Hertford says
Some of our Democrats voted for William w. Hol-
den, saying that if they must vote for citizen of
Raleigh they would prefer to be represented by one
that is Democrat 80 - .'.-2 .'.s- 80 o.
we are under many obligations to the sterling
Democracy of Hertford County for the compliment
they have paid U.S. but had they elected us to the Lee
gisature would have been decidedly improper in us
to have accepted the appointment, inasmuch as our
engagements here of such as to rs
| from visiting the County as often as Mr.. Rayner
does-two or three times year. :ts-s-l,
! AT the same time, however, we thank them most
heartily, for the honor they have bestowed upon
one so unworthy to receive it. AS Democrat speak
ing to Democrats and friend to friends we say to
you, brothers of Hertford-fght on. and fgAt boldly
Day is breaking the old North the sun of victo-
~ already ascends the heavens! You gave Hoke
269 votes and Reid 173; We shall look out for 800
for Cass and Butler. We know you can, and we
hope you ,oiA- .- --.i' ..- -..-.*".
-, ..,.. BURKE AND MCDOWELL. ..
] We have not yet received the returns from Mellow
ELL and cannot therefore, give the final result these
counties. They voted together for Governor and
members of the Commons. A friend writes to US
from Morganton, under date August Sd ..sea. Il
The election returns for this county, [Burke1
have just been received in FULL and avail myself of
few moments allowed me before the mail closes, to
give you the result. Manly COG; Reid 242. Though
this vote for candidate is comparatively small
one yet we have gained II votes over any vote here
toore given for the Democratic candidates for Presi
| dent or Governor. You may rely on increased
vote in all the counties in this District, and think
still further increase awaits US in November.
i The candidates for the Legislature all wings,
and the following are the returns for Burke: Alfred
| Mailor 579; E. P. Jones 285; John franklin 245
S. b. Erwin 215; James Avery I66. Alexander
Duckworth is elected Sheriff by majority of 158.
I Our friends in the mountain counties have fear
ful odds against them, but they laboring manful
! ly, and We hope to send several Democratic men,
bers to the Legislature. We have not lost single
ons but on the contrary have made many accessions
to the cause of Democracy. Cass and Butler are
regarded the very best nominations that could have
been made.'
! HAYWOOD REDEEMED!
! Haywood has thrown off the shackles of Federal
ism, and stands forth decided Democratic
County. w. H. Thomas, dem., has been elected to
the Senate by large majority for the District of Hay
wood, Macon and Cherokee democratic gain; and
Col. Love, dem., has been elected to the Commons
from Haywood by 275 majority. Col. Reid beats
| Mr.. Manly 19 votes in Haywood-a clear gain of 60
votes. We welcome Haywood into the family of
Democratic Counties, and hope our friends there will
continue increase their We shall count upon
SO majority for Cass and Butler in Haywood County.
MACON AND CHEROKEE. .
The last Asheville Messenger says: 6" We have
not the VOTE but learn that Manly beat Reid 80 votes
in Macon. " That paper says Mr. John Y. Hicks,
whg, is reelected to the Commons. 1t also claims

old and esteemed friend, Col. George Bower, has
