The Legfslature.

Difficult it is to arrive at anything like the
act truth in regard to the Legislature, the matter
begins to be pretty much narrowed down. The Ra-
leigh Register of Wednesday figures out Wing
gain of II. and Wing loss of 8, making clear
Wing gain of 9,-giving that party majority of
on joint ballot. But this conclusion is arrived at
by counting Yancey as one Wing gain, whereas it
turns out that Nicely Bird, Democrat has been elect
ed to the Commons from Yancey, and not Calvin
Edney, as heretofore reported. This reduces the
clear Wing gain to g. Again, the Register does not
make allowance for Democratic gain of one in
Macon, which would still further reduce the clear
Wing gain to land, as the Democratic party had
mai GRITTY of Il on Joint ballot in the last Legisla-
ture, this would make tie There remain the two
senatorial districts of Camden and Currituck and
Beaufort and Hyde to decide the matter Both of
these districts were represented the last time by
Wings, and therefore the return of Democrat from
either of them, would be Democratic gain
and give the Democrats the Legislature by two
majority. AS regards Beaufort and hyde,
the Newbernian says that the polls were compared
on Thursday of last week, and there appeared ma
jority of one for MURRAY, whig. In Camden and
Curruck, DR.. SHAW. democrat. is elected over BAR
NARD, whig also by one majority. There is some
difficulty about this follows: The returns on the
face of them show DIR. SHAW to be elected; but the
Sheriff of Camden, whg, contends that there were
two illegal votes in the Senate box at the Coenock
precinct Camden county; these votes were cast as
follows A voter presented his ticket for the Sen
ate-the inspector put the ticket in the wrong box.
This was Immediately detected. The Wing inspec
tor admitted the error, and upon conference it was
agreed that the name should b properly regstered
and when the votes counted out this should
be placed in the proper box. The other pre-
ciseiy similar. There was no legality on the part
of the voters is there any doubt about the votes
The only difficulty is in the informally of the pro-
-ceeding. The whig inspector certified the returns
to the whig sheriff of Camden, who is unwilling to
give certificate to DR.. Shaw upon them. The sher-
if of Currituck gave his certificate, contendng that
a sheriff has no right to look behind the official re-
of inspectors, and that if the polls were
to be purged no power short of the Senate was au-
thorized to do it. DR.. Shaw will no doubt be admit
ted to his seat. This will make democratic ma
ority of two joint ballot which will be about the
final result, we presume.

here this section actually flooded with all man.
ner of documents under MIR. Stanly's frank and
some of them bearing his signature, vouching for
the abolition SANDER on Gen. Pierce 1t is worthy
of remark, that the National Intelligencer the old
est, most respectable and reliable Wing paper
in the country, has never pollute its columns with
this infamous afar-plainly showing that it thought
such things beneath it. 1t is further to be remark
ed, that Fogg the editor of the Independent Demo-
crat, one OF the papers quoted against Genl Pierce,
and falsely represented as Democratic, promi-
nent member of the recent Abolition Convention at
Pittsburg, whieh nominated Hale and Julian Of
this Convention, Fred Douglass, the negro fellow
Secretary. And yet, Messrs. Stanly of North
Carolina and Collum of Tennessee vouch for the
whole affair, and for the editor too! Stanly and
Fred. Douglass, Fred. Douglass ard Stanly! And,
be it still further remembered that Goodale the ed
itor of the Manchester Democrat the other authority
against Gen. Pierce, wrote to gentleman of this
town, that the accuracy of the report Of General
Perce's speech had never been denied either pub
lcly privately; and yet it plainly proved

YOUR entire soundness upon the slavery question:
Within the last week speech purporting to have
been delivered by you in January last, has been re-
Published from two Democratic papers in your own
State, (Which are said now to support you.) On
the truth or falsity of this much depends Neither
those with whom act myself can consent that
anv doubt should rest matter of such impor-
lance but placing full reliance on the fearless frank
ness of your character, their behalf and my own
respectfully ask ofyou whether that report winch
your southern supporters believe be without found
alton as opposed your previous course is correct
The peculiar position which occupy must plead
my apology for troubling you with this letter.

To "SHELToN,"-Sir:--Your communication in
last Fridays Journal. the subject of the battle of
Moore's Creek, is my apology for addressing you
this occasion John Grady, private from Duplin
County, under Capt. James Love, and in Col. Cas-
wells regiment, was the first man, and if / have
been correctly Informed, the only man, who was
killed, side, in the battle of Moores Creek in
your County. on the 9th of February, 1776 !; and
consequently, the first who was killed in regu-
lar combat in North Carolina in the revolutionary
war, in defence of liberty. Now the battle of Ala-
nance was fought some five years before the battle
of Moores Creek but that battle was fought in
what called the regulation war-a war to cor
rect colonial and official abuses rather than to throw
off the yoke of British oppression. Caswell's
fought behind breasworks, and being anxious to
take more sure aim at the enemy, the deceased
raised himself above the breastworks, and ball
passed through his head. On Col Caswells return
from the battle to kinston. he called the house
of my grandfather. and informed him of the above
circumstance-w he told me himself some for
ty years ago Also, two old men of this County,
long since dead, lone by the name of Holland and
the other by the of Harrel, told ttcen-
ty gears ago. they the deceased shot do,rn and in
relating the circumstance, one of them wept like
child although it had then been more than half a
century since the battle fought. Now, if you
know where the deceased buried, This relations
all think he was buried in Wilmington and will
point out the spot you will confer favor your
humble servant If his remains dissolved. there
is one vestige by which the spot may be unmistake
ably identified. When his corpse was laid in his
cofin, Capt, Love enveloped his own sword in silk
handkerchief, and placed it his breast; so if
his remains dissolved, Captain Loves suord is
