Nortl, Carolina.

| CarOl1nu.
Our advces from this State leave us no rea
son to doubt that it will go for the WING can
didates by as large majority as it gave t.
General TAYLOR. From the Danville IVA.
Register we quote an article on this subject
that will be instructive and interesting to Jul
DEMOCRATIC friends:
Living, as we do, on the border of the State, in
proximity to NORTH CARoLIsA, and intimately
acquainted, as we profess to be, with her people
and their political predictions, we do not hesitate
TO declare our conviction THAT THE VOTE OF THE
STATE WILL BE GIVEN TO ScorT AND GRAHAM BY A
LARGE MAJORITY. And why should it not be? Why
should that intelligent and virtuous people discard,
as it were, .ther kih and kim for strangersl
Why should they pass by native-born cons OF
NORTH CAROLINA and VIRGINIA, and go in search
| Of New Hampshire man TO rule over them?
We have referred TO the tactics of the Democrats
| in former elections in that State. We well re.
member that when in lS40 the gallant Morehead
swept the State by thousands, it said by the
Democratic press and politicians that the result
was to be attributed solely to his great personal
popularity. And yet in the succeeding November,
only three months after, General HARRIsos's ma
jority was increased over Governor Mon EHrAD's by
| some four thousand.
Again in 1874, Mr.. CLAY's vote was greatly in.
creased over that Of Governor GRAHAM in the pre-
ceding August.
II is really amusing to contrast the confident
predictions of the Democratic press of North Caro-.
lima, in August, lS4S, with their fuflment in No
vember Of that year. Here arc few of those pre-
dietions as made by the Raleigh STANDARD, the
organ Of the party:
From the Standard Of august and September, 1913.
"Fellow Democrats of the Union, what do you
think nO,p Of old North Carolina? We knew that
your hearts we're with US, and that YOU hoped we
would hold our own; but you could not anticipate
as we did that we should send such dslnay and
CONSERVATION among the Taylor men in this
stronghold Of Federalism. Put US do,on at once
for Cas- and Butler"
'As Democrat speaking to Democrats and as
friend 10 friends, we say to you fight on, and fight
BOLDLY Day ia breaking on the old North; THs sUN
OF VICTORY ALREADY AsCENDs THE HEAvENsi We
know you can, and we hope you tpilI"
"The New York Express is sadly in the qark
about the eight or ten thousand majority in this
Stale ior Taylor and Fillmore. The people Of this
State arc hard to move; but when they once start
they go ahead until their wishes accomplish
ed. NORTH CAROLINA WILL VOTE FoR CAss AND
BUTLER. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Mr..
.'Henceforth the Wigs are doomed Cass and
Botler will sweep the State in November, and
Federalism will then die out, for good and all, in
North Ca roina.'
Startle not honest reader, when tell you that
in the face of these confident and braggart pro
phecies. made just after the State election, in
which the majority Of the Wing Governor (NIanly)
was less than one thousand. the vote of the State
was GIVEN TO GENERAL TAYLOR BY A MA IoRITy OF
NEARLY NINE THOUSAND.
And thus will it be in 1852 Notwithstanding all
the Boosting and the many representations to the
contrary, put forth by the Democratic press and
party, North Carolina will, assuredly as Novcm-
Der comes, GIVE HER VOTE TO Scorr and GRAHAM
