North Carolina for fifteen years past has been largely
whg, and, with but exception, true TO her political
faith Perhaps il may be well to review the political
battles within her borders for twelve years back, and
thus form idea of the result of the contest to-day
In s4O Harrisons majority was H. 594; in 1872 More
head (whg) was chosen governor Henry (dem) by
1902 majority in 1914, Grahams vote for governor ex-
ceeded Hokess dem) a,l53 and Clays majority Polk
was 3.945; in 1916, Graham (whig) reelected over
Shepherd (dem by 1850 votes; in 1913, Tayors ma
jority over Cass was $3.50 votes and in 1850, when
party obligations less strong than for many years.
Reid dem) chosen governor by 2,77l majority--a
result mainly brought about by local issues and the want
Of popularity of Governor Manley, the whg candidate

ton, the whg majority has not fallen below 3l53 votes
and in ls4s rose $3.50 North Carolina being strong
whig State, and in view of the extraordinary exerons
used by the whg committees this city and elsewhere

in spite of The proper expenditure and jealous efforts o
the wings carry North Carolina, Kerr, the popular

State, shall lose his election the majority for Pierce and
King will be overwhelming in November. and General
Scott, losing North Carolina, will not receive eec-

As WE ExPEcrED.-Ina letter to a dis
tinguished personal friend in Washington,
Frank. Pierce, alluding to the attempts of
certain newspapers and politicians,to;make
a cabinetifor him, says, in substance, that
as the people of the United States have
devolyed upon him the Presidency, he
shall take the responsibility of selecting
his own cabinet. fF- s..-, n.
This is right. The President is held
responsible for the failure or success of
his. administration, much of which depends
upon his choice of a cabinet. and we are
pleased to see Mr.. Pierce exhibit frmness
enough to make his own selections. In
deed, if he should act otherwise, we shall
be compelled to acknowledge ourself mis-
taken in the man. .s..r-s,
We have no doubt that the gentlemen
who have been attempting to force par
ticular men upon the President elect, are
fully competent to give advice and select
cabinet officers, but if we were in their
places we would wait until s0e were cleo
ted President, and then we would have
things to our notion. If we are not much
mistaken these oficious friends will wake
up some morning and find themselves

! GENTLEMEN "A bereavement with
holds my acceptance ofyour invitation to
dine to borrow with the Democracy of
this city; but 1 tender to you my most
considerable congratulations on the event
which you are to celebrate.
The election of two eminent and wor-
| thy men to the two highest offices in the
government is much !; the ascendancy of
the Democratic party is something much
more important; but the triumph is COM
plete in all respects, when in addition to
the success of meritorious men and of n
sound republican faith, we estimate the
homage paid to our cause by the most
elite of our political adversaries. Their
homage hallows our victory. We have
not only conquered, but actually won
over host of our former opponents them
selves. They have been compelled to bow
to the supremacy of our principles and to
acknowledge the necessity of our tri-
umph. The nation has sunk their party
at the polls, in indicating it's own sense
of self-preservation against the dangers
thrown up by political, combined with
fanaticat agitation.
| There is now but one party in the Uni
ted States, and that is the Democratic
REM blican. The only remains of the
other party, lately existing is but the
faction which is the residum ola total and
overwhelming defeat. lie Union Ct the
country, in great strength and security,
reposes on the patriotism of the people
This is our main cause of rejoicing.
But, gentlemen, in an hour like this.
let us remember, not only to be magnani-
nous, not to exult overmuch, but to ex-
alt ourselves; and let US commence at
once to be cautious to secure the victory
the splendid and precious victory we
have gained. We can do So only by for
tyfying all the political virtues of which
We boast, both as partizans and patriots.
We must adhere to the principles of our
faith and the solemn pledges we have
made before the nation and the world !;
we must prefer and promote the men of
merit we must defend the Constitution
and every right and law and institution
under it; and, in our own party organi-
cation, and in our administration of poll
cy, we must maintain unity, in order
to obtain an efficiency of action; and we
must act decisively, without fear, and
without hypocrisy, in the straight line of
stern duty. l give you:

The NAvY.-The Secretary of the navy
devotes about two columns of his report
to plan recommended for supplying the
navy with good seamen as great difficult
ty is now experienced in obtaining suffi-
cient seamen to man our national vessels.
In our opinion, the plan proposed is too
complicated and would prove Intellectual.
We intend placing the honorable Secre-
tary under the greatest obligations to us
by whispering in his ear a very simple
plan that will at once fill our navy with
the very best seamen in the world, to wit
raising their wages from twelve to twenty
dollars a month. Good seamen can scarce
ly be expected to go into the navy to be
kicked and cursed by petty tyrants for
twelve dollars a month, when they can
get eighteen and be treated like white
folks, in the merchant service.
