who differ from US. The Democrats can afford to be
generous in their victory for great victory we
will venture TO say, has been in~the Uni
ted States.
The Election Tuesday.
The die is now cast and some one or other of the
candidates has been elected Unfortunately the
telegraph wire between here and W edon is down at
the 9th mile post, and will not be up until the train
which left here at 8 ae:coek this morning reaches
that point, say between twelve and one we cannot
therefore get any dispatches until the afternoon.
The election in this place passed off very quietly
yet with considerable animation. Our Democratic
friends here worked manfuly, and if there be bet
ter set of Democrats anywhere should like to sec
them. The vote poled was 807. The number count
cd out was 800; in two ballots were put in
which of course rejected in counting This vote
was divided as follows Fierce and King 500; Scott
and Graham 296, and four blank. Those put down
as blanks had simply the of Mr.. Fillmore for
President, and MIR Graham Mr.. Jenkins Vice
President The Democratic majority is 300-Dem-
o:ratic gain 10S. 1t being Court week, there were
some voters in from the country.
THERE'S a falling off in the various precincts out of
town nearly equal to the gain in town. The whole
majority in the county foots up Ola gain TWEEN
tyfve votes on Reds majority, the largest ever be-
fore given. Nasonboro' has done gorously,, giving
fifty for Pierce and King, and hrtyeigtt for Scott
and Graham-and this in spite of every exertion to
carry at least that precinct for Scott and Gra
ham. Our gallant friends met them there, and over
came them.
The Wing majority in Brunswick is reduced %
votes.
From up the Road, there contradictory reports
some of considerable Democratic gains-and some
again, OF considerable Democratic losses. The ag-
gregate vote in Dup!in is smaller than it was at the
August election, with Democratic loss of l4O votes.
Sampson, so far as rumors Co. shows small
Democratic loss. Wayne loses one hundred, but
Edgecombe and Nash gain two hundred
than before. Reports of falling off in Wayne and
Edgccombe, are looked upon purely apochyphal
Tomorrow will bring a of mail and telegraph
ic news.
The Meeting and Procession Last Monday Night
Monday night the Democrats had the largest and
most enthusiastic turn out which has ever beer
seen in Wilmington. The procession formed il
Market street. about seven o'clock, and marched
round to Major Walkers Yard, on Princess street
where proper gements had been made for speak
ing; and where H. L. Holiness Esq, did speak in
a talk as uas a taN-able and eloquent-humorou
and satircal.
At the close of Mr. Holmes remarks, the process
sion formed again. and marched down Front t
Market up Market to Fourth down Fourth to til
lower end of town almost, then down 10 Front, u
Front to the Railroad, then counter marched an
came down to the Carolina Hotel where S. Per
son, Eli w. Hail. and John L. Holmes, Esqs., an
Hon. YIN. S. Ashe, made glorious ralying speeches
Capt MCGOWAN of the United States Army was nc
ticel on the balcony of the Hotel and call wa
made upon him, to which he responded in a few re
marks. He said that he Whig-he was Dor
Whig-all his kith and kin Wings but st
were he where he could vote, his ballot should
cast for Franklin Pierce He had served with hir
had seen him in battle-had received the war;
grasp of his hand, and knew that q brayer or NOR
nobler man never breathed The gallant Captai
was rapturously applauded
Frank Johasons Band was at the head of the co
umn but we at the had to toll on without b.
ing cheered by it's enlivening strains 1t was te
far off At last detachment was sent to the mix
ole, and there it got within little less than halt
mile of u.s. By the way, there was very handsou
new transparency in 'front.' painted by Mr. Mass
Ion Professions usually estimated too Target
and therefore gentleman, who knew almost eyel
man in the county whohas right to vote, counted IL
number in ours. There was close on to seven hui
dred voters and others not certain as sueh swellt
the ranks to about thousand persons.
The Scott and Graham men had also rally a
aronnd in general and upon the whole they did vel
we'll. They came out strong under the elreur
stances. and we think succeeded in rallying rath
over oae-foarth as many men into their ranks as
had in ours and one way and another they made
right good showing considering, and at distan
bows carried torches as well as men.
But it is all over now, and Dragging or rejoicing
not the thing. Voting is the business ne oali'
box is now the stern arbiter to which all must DO
Let us work like men according to our conSictio
onS sln,;t TO the decision Of the people, when it b
been aseertaned, like patriots
