! Le,al.ln,1u.rro or north Carolina.

The Wilmington Herald of Saturday states that
there is no longer any doubt as to the complexion
Of the Legislature of North Carolina, The Demo-
Gratis, it says, will have majoriY of two members
on joint ballot.U The Wings have gained sixteen
members of the House of Commons, and lost nine;
which, had there been no change IN the Senate,
would have tied the. Democrats on joint bal
lot. But it seems that Democrat is elected from
Camden and Currituck by one vote, which is anoth.
er Democratic gain.i This seat, however, will.
probably be contested rs there was some informal-
ity in the returns, which is thus explained by the
Democratic Pioneer, at Elizabeth City:
ga voter presented his ticket for the Senate,
the inspector put the ticket in the wrong box;
This was Immediately detected. The Whs inspec-
tor admitted the error, and, upon conference, 1t
was agreed that the name should be registered
properly, and when the votes were counted out,
this one should be placed in the proper box The
other case was precisely similar. Well, the Wing,
inspector certified the returns TO The sheriff. But
when the sherffs come together, it seems that the
sheriff of Camden is unwilling to give certificate
of election unless these two votes are thrown out.
After some time spent in conference, the acting
sheriff of Currituck made proclamation that, upon
a comparison of the polls returned by the several
inspectors of the two counties, DR.. Shaw (Dem.)
was elected by majority of one vote. The sher-
i'll of Camden then made proclamation that If the
two votes alluded towere illegal then Mr.. Rernard
(Whie) was elected Senator" cd ig44sa4 siistff1
in the last Legislature, the Democrats had ma:
iorty of four in the Senate, ten in the House, and
fourteen on Joint ballot. ---------------

UyThe Louisville Journal is after Prince John
with very sharp stick. The following view of
the Willis and Van Buren, difficulty, is held by all
persons at all acquainted with the facts othe case
says the Journal:
"Mr. Willis proposed to Mr.Van Buran in such
language as he could without exposing himself to
the penalties of the New York statutes in regard to
duels, challenges, &C., first meeting at Charles
ton, and afterward meeting at Baltimore, but
Mr.. Van Buren, was not to be had. We censure no
man for declining to fight duel if he declines on
principle-on the contrary We applaud all who
thus act but it is perfectly obvious that John Van
Bnren acted this not from principle but from
personal cownrdice. In the speech in the Forest
case he travelled out of his way to insult Mr. Willis,
and tainted him with having sued the BLACKBOARD
Forrest for brutal assault and battery instead of
demanding gentlemanly satisfaction. He thus sets
himself up before the world US one who recognized
the code of honor and who had no respect for men
who sought any less bloody mode of ayenging per-
sonal wrongs. But, no sooner was the wordy hero
brought to the test than he proved recreant to his
own code, refusing repeated invitations to meet a
gentleman, his own superior in talent, genius So
cial position and fame. We do not know when
we have seen the wind let out of a bladder more
thoroughly. We dsapprove of dueling, but there
is nothing on earth we more utterly despise than
fellow who sets himself up as dueIist--and isn't

he was, and of course were precluded by the 9th
article, from examining into the truth of SCOTS
allegations.
Thus we have given the proceedings in full, SO
far as they can be gathered from the history of the
times. The only evidence conflicting with this, is
Wiikinson's own, found in his published book,
which it seems that the court would not admit.

merited insgnifcance into which Wilkinson sank

liant advance of Scott fyom "gloryto glory" con-
stitutes the proud monument of his innocence and

rnoK THE PHILADELPHIA LEDGER.

CuBA.-The newspapers endearoring to Gre
ate another Cuban excitement, and letters teeming
with accusations of outrages and tyrannical OPP
pressions on the part of the Cuban Government
are very freely scattered throughout the country.
These attempts to excite an odium against the To-
cal government of Cuba are but the continued
efforts of interested parties in this country, whose
falsifcations on recent occasion led asray so ma
ny of our countrymen, and brought a number TO
certain and terrible end. That catastrophe is not
yet forgotten and it will be vain attempt TO Gre
ate any practical sympathy in this country again,
till the Cubans themselves show, by one bold
show at least, that they have the courage to de-
fend their own liberties and to resist the oppres-
sion of their governmental masters.

II There is food for thought in the following
paragraph from the Lirerpool) European Times:
GAS regards England, public sympathy, it is
needless to say, is enlisted the side Of the Dem
ocratic candidate. Nor THAT GEN. PIERCE IS
CONSIDERED THE DEXTER MAN. Far otherwise
He is merely accepted the nominee of that great
party in the Union who desire to push the princi-
pie of free trade TO its utmost limits"
OF course the public sympathy of England is en-
listed on the side of the Democratic candidate
OF course. our great commercial rival across the
water prefers the of the party in this coun-
try, that will play into her hands-aid her in
breaking down our manufactures prostrating our
industry and opening our ports to the products Of
British ingenuity, capital and labor. Nothing i'm
aginable is more natural-but, that there should
be found among us party ready to promote this
ignoninious bartering away of our independence,
and to surrender the incalculable advantages that
will accrue to us five but encourage the national
genius for mechanic and manufacturing pursuits
is strange beyond comprehension. England may
well despair of imposing such policy on General
Scott. He has British lead enough in his body to
make him watchfnl of her artful and selfish diplo-
macy.-Lynehburg VTginian.

WING Prospects in penn.ylvnnin.

The Philadelphia North American, says that
the Mass Meeting of the friends of Scorr and GRA-
HAM at Harrisburg, on Friday, was a grand and
glorious affair. Many thousands were present,
from various sections oftha Commonwealth, and
but one spirit-a spirit of enthusiasm and conf
dence-pervaded the vast assemblage. Tha Amer
lean adds:
ait is evident that the right feeling is rapidly
making way among the masses of the citizens of
the noble old keystone State whose voice in the
momentuous contest of the country, will be- as it
has been IN many previous one, final and deci-
sive. 'As Pennsylvania goes, SO goes the Union,'
has become proverbial with reference to Presiden-
tia eections and the excitement in favor of Scott,
that is already distinctly manifesting itself, indi
cate on which side of the field she will be found,
in the struggle in November next.
"a remarkable fact, worthy of special notice, is
the participation in the meeting of several promi-
nent members of the Democratic party. This,
however, will doubtless be denied publicly by our
opponents, even while they secretly believe and
grow uneasy over the news. But, that 1t may not
lack confirmation, will state that the we have,
within day OF two, learned from a source worthy
of entire credit that large numbers of men, in eve
~ section of the Commonwealth, who never be-
fore voted Wing ticket, are openly declaring
themselves for Scott. One of the leading and most
intelligent merchants Of our city, whose business
relations extend into every part of the State, and
embrace citizens of both parties, has recently

The FiIbustersIngnin at Work,

The Hardness with which the laws of the Uni
led States against violations of the law OF Nations
and of our own country have thus far been en-
fo ced by the judicial tribunals before which per
sons have been auaigned to answer for their mis-
deeds in this respect; the impunity, in word,
which such outrages against the laws have hith-
erto experienced, seems to have encouraged the
conspirators against the peace of their own coun-
try as well US that of the Spanish dominions 10

prises as last year inveigled so many improvident
and misguided young men to slayertand to death
Forthep resent abstaining from any comment Of our
own upon such proceedings, we shall only ask
the attention OF our readers to the following no.
tees of this subject by our contemporaries.
FROM THE NEW YORK EXPRESS.
The exciting intelligence from Havnna, received
by the Crescent City, has produced profound
sensation among the Cubans resident in this city,
and large class of citizens who have frequent
commercial intercourse with "gem Of the Antilles"
The so called Cuban Junta, whose heads are I'M
derstood to have planned the ll-staHed Lopez cx-
petition, will probably be convoked again, and
on all hands it is more than likely vigorous and
renewed attempt will be made to !stir up new The
slumbering elements of rebellion. We already
hear much of certain "secret publications" "con-
fdential circulars" and patriotic "pronunciami-
entos,' emanating from whom nobody seems cler-
ly to know, doing the desired work at Havana.
Hence the numerous arrests and lmprsonments OF
which we are advised. .fe.t.
These being the facts in the case, it is well to
conclude at once that the Lopez tragedy is TO be
played over again. ''The fools are not all dead
yet" and We have no doubt enough of them may
be found, here and there, to try over again the
pitiable experiment of making Rebellion in
country where there are no Rebels-a Republic
where there are no Republicans. They'd so now
with their eyes open TO the consequences. The
Moro Castle, the gauote, and the square of Abrnto
pant for new victims they will have, if the warn
ing voice of Crittenden and his companions is not
heard by the infatuated enthusiasts who still hug
the delusion that Cuban Independence is only to
be achieved by foreign invasion.

PROM THE BALTIMORE cLrrrEH OF SATURDAY.

We learn from New York that all the prominent
managers of the Cuban expedition are now in that
city-not the fighting men, but those whose heads
planned the invasion, and whose purses paid the
expenses. 1t is fact that the Junfd has heen dis
soIped, as was reported when the disastrous result
of the Lopez foray was known. Should the next
steamers advise US OF continuance of the arrests
and consequent excitement at Havana, depend up-
on it there will he more work on hand for the
United States Marshal in the New York district.
| PROM THE NEW YORK COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.
MATTERS IS CuBA.-The Journal of Commerce
has the following information from ''gentlemai
| from Havana"
| On the 5th instant fifteen persons, all Creoles
were arrested in that city, of whom ten male
| and five females In their dwellings were discov
cred 10, 600 cartridges, twelve demijohns of pow
der, and twenty arrobes 900 lbs) of lead.
| On the 18th the arrested parties were examined,
and three OF them sent to the Cabanas fortified
| ton.
| During the week ending August 14th goo,.
many young men were arrested, and Others invite
to go to Spain. They will be permitted to return
when they obtain diploma of loyalty.
| These events created quite stir in the Govern
r1acut Offices, and cynence OF alarm.
The Journal also gives extracts from No. O
ala Fo= del Puebio,' which, it is alleged, is prin
| ted and circulated in the island of Cuba. W.
should require very direct and complete evidenc,.
that such paper is printed and circulated therl
before quoting from its columns, and this for two
good reasons First, that accounts of the tyranny
and watchfulneSs of the government, even to ex-
ercising "police Surveillance over every Creole
family" being true, the publishers of such a pa
per in Cuba could not escape detection. The,
thing is moral impossibility. Second, that the
morning press of this city was imposed upon in
just such matte. prior to the Lopez invasion.
They simultaneously published certain alleged
dictionary pronuneiamenos, said to be extensively
circulated and mysterously posted up on various
places in Cuba, prefaclng such documents with an
editorial paragraph-furnished, of course, by the
concocters Of The forgery-declaring that they had
respectively the originals of said false docu-
ments, when the fact subsequently came out that
the papers were an invention of certain parties in
New York, and by no means originating in Cuba.
The parties TO that barefaced fraud had the cum
ming take copies Of these documents to the press
on Sunday evening, when probably every respon-
sibible editor was absent from his sanctum. The
fac simile character of the simultaneous publica-
ton, editorial paragraph included, of course put
evening papers their guard, and it was easy for
us to avoid falling into the same error but it de-
sroyed our confidence in ali representations about
revolutionary papers published in Cuba.

The Norfolk Courier publishes the following let
ter, addressed to gentleman in that city, giving
denial to a remark said to have been made by
General Scott in a conversation with Gen. Wade,
of Ohio, and which has been recently blazoned at
the head of nearly every democratic paper South,
for political effect. Thus every charge against the
old hero is falling to the ground, and his enemies
and defamers will soon be compelled to abandon,
altogether, these despicable attempts to make po-
litical capital. Here is the letter:
