Maj. A Eiland, as chairman of the committee,
then made some remarks in explanation OF the
resolutions, and offered some able arguments in
favor of adopting them
The Hon. Judge Ried then moved the adoption
Of the resolutions, accompanyin the motion with
some spirited remarks (Which were loudly APP
plauded) in their favor.
A gentleman, unknown to the secretaries) then
opposed the first resolution, approving the Nash

that it conficted with the doctrine Of non-inter-

complete for sending passengers through from

In the first attempts of this Company TO meet

vailed upon at the urgent solicitation Of the great
number then dcsuous 10 - out, ssll tietAts for

their ships then going rqlsnd. This &as done
from desire TO 'aeccshmodce shoss ~hD could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention. they
would reach San Francisco sooner than hy any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preve-
lence Of fever at Rio de Janero at the time, pre-
vented their ships nom reaching Panama a. soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the Isth-
mus, which was increased by the inpasience Of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Company, at an earlier day than the shin
could possibly reach Pansms. i'iS a,r,k

North Carolina Election.

The North Carolina Standard thus sums up
the result of the late election:
The Senate will stand 81 Democrats to %
Wings, and the House 65 Democrats to IS
Whigs-making Fourteen Democratic majority
on joint ballot
1t will be seen, on reference to our table, that
Col Reds vote thus far is ALI, and Gov
Manly's 40,656-Caldwell not heard from, and
a majority counted for Col. Reid in Yancey and
for Gov Manly in Gates. Add the vote of Cald-
well as it was two years since, and the votes of
Yancey and Gates, as they voted before, and
COL Reid will have 44,973, and Gov Manly
4l,935. Gov. Manly's vote will be about $4,000,
and Col. Reds about $4,000.
Col Reid has received 1890 votes more than
lie received before-2,4OO more than Gov Man.
ly received in lS48-1,7O0 more than Mr. Clay
received in 1844-and 1900 more than General
Taylor got in l848. The whole vote for Reid
and Manly in the present election, will be some
800 more than it was in l848.
What glorious victory!
