Tn Saturday evening we had the pleasure OF
meeting the Scott Boys" of Washington, at
Bowles' Hall-aye, and the Scott men and the
Scott ladies, into the bargain. The hall was
handsomely decorated, and provided through the
centre with tables the whole length, bearing a
magnificent tureen Of I" Scott Soup" and flank
ed with the biggest and noblest oaves of " Ora
ham bread" Bowles performed his part admra-
bly,, and the crowd III ,Ods a crowd,) had fine
time Of it. Speeches we delivered by Justin s.
Morrill, Esq. of straford, and Burnham Martin
ESQ. of Chelsea-speeches happily combining
both wit and wisdom and there was other talk,
of which re for personal reasons, can say moth
ing. We left the crowd at about the hour of
ten, and they were then at work. " with a will
upon the Scott Soup and Graham bread. The
Montpelier Band added much to the pleasure Of
the occasion by their excellent music

people with Smile and Bank Reform" and
finally with " State Reform The latter was
tried on at the late Freesoil State Convention,
but, on the advice Of shrewd leader, they con-
cuded to drop it-os al m bug. So they con-
fess that the Wing administration in Vermont
has been good. Very well now we have a
State Ticket of experienced, able, pure and
sagacious men. Let the people rally TO It's sup

election Nous.

North Carolina The locos claim the cleo
ton of their candidate for Governor Reid by
about 6O00 majority, and also a majority Oh Joint
ballot in the Legislature. The latter is disput-
ed however, and the majority claimed for the
Wings. Inasmuch as Reds election is conce-
ded by handsome majority, some people think
the State s for Pierce and against Scott. There
Is no ground for such conclusion Reid is FOR
an extension Of Suffrage; and so was the Wing
candidate. Reid, however was for having this
done by The Legislature, without Convention to
revise the Constitution. The Wing candidate
wanted Contention. Now ii so happens that
North Carolina like Virginia. has mountain
population little affected with slavery, and val
ley population, between the upper region and the
seaboard which is slavocratic. 1t so happens, al
so, las in Virginia that The Senate is so appor
toned as to give the savocra,s the advantage
and what is worth remarklng,) the iocos carry
the Senate under the slavocratc apportonment,
while The House which is elected on fairer prin-
clples is carried by the Hhigs: perhaps this fact
will serve to show which party in North Carroll
''ft'A
But to return: Reid was against a Constitution
al Convention because The unjust saroeratc ap-
portionmem Of the Ssndt, might be changed bu Il.
Legislative action he was NOT opposed to, because
the slavocratic Senate could prevent the reform
in the apportionment. Now for the role: Reid
has run ADORE the other locofoco ticket 1900
votes This gain is not in the free upper or ives
tern country. No in the western counties
the Wings have gained six members and the
Democrats one" says letter from a North Car.
Gilman. The gain of 1000 to Reid, ABOVE the
other locofoco tickets, is IN The slauocrdic region,
and consists mainly Of votes cast for Reid by
Wings in that region who are afraid Of losing
the preponderance of their section of the State
IN the Senate Now this local question is not
involved in the Presidential election, and these
1000 Wings will vote according to their prefer
ences Change these 1900 from the locofoco to
the Wing side and North Carolina is a Hhig
STATE by 1900 majority, taking The Governor role
at the late election as the bash Of calculation.
In 1915 the Wings carried their Governor by
barely 300 votes in August and because Of this
same local question-but in November following
they gave 5000 majority for Taylor
