THE LEGISLATURE.

We refer our readerssto another part of this pa
per for the proceedings Of this body from Tuesday
to Thursday, inclusive.
ed the subjects of the Electoral Districts and o.
adjournment. The Committee on the Districts re-
ported on Thursday, but the Committee on adjourn.
ment has not yet acted.
The Senate was engaged for the most part o.
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in considering
the contested election case from Camden and Cur
rituck. The certificates of election the votes upon
the case in the Senate, &C., will be found in to-days
paper.
1t appears from these certificates that DR.. Shaw
received, in the two Counties, 33S votes, and Mr.
Barnard $751; This is not disputed; but Senators
who have spoken in favor of referring the matter
to a Committee have gone out of the record before
the Senate, and brought forward statements not
admissible under the circumstances which surround
this case, The arguments Of Mr.. Caldwell, Mr.
Hoke, and Col. Bower, in reply to Messrs. Jones,
Bynum, Ellington, and Kelly, were, in our hum
Bile judgment, conclusive. Mr. Caldwell examined
the whole case in mastery manner. He took it
up, point by point, thoroughly exposing the unite
nable positions Of the speakers on the other side
The insinuations from the friends of Mr. Barnard,
that the Democratic side of the Senate were dispos
ed to decide this case, not upon the evidence but
according to the dictates of party, struck US as
being out of place and not altogether charitable.
Those who are first to impute partizan motives are
not always the last to be influenced by such mo-
tives The friends of Dr. Shaw have done, in this
matter, what they believed to be their duty. They
have awarded the seat to the gentleman who is, in
their Judgment justly and fairly entitled to it; and
IN doing this they have been guided by the wishes
Of majority of the landholders of Camden and
Currituck. Instead of permitting this case to be
referred to Committee, to " drag its slow length
along" for weeks and weeks, they have acted
promptly and have given to the people of the
District representative on the floor of the Senate,
to look after their interests and utter their voice in
the public councils. If party (Whig) advice had
been followed, no such result would have been at
tanned; but we should have had q Conanaittee,
taxing dispositions, contestng irrelevant points, and
delaying action on the part of the Senate; and,
after all, the question would have been taken and
determined, in all probability, on the very evidence
upon which that body has already acted.

The WEBSTER MEETING FRIDAY NIeHr. We
dropped in at the Court House on Friday night all
most at the close of the meeting OF the National
Republicans, and did not, therefore, hear all their
proceedings we learn, however, that it was resolved
10 substitute the of Mr.. Jenkins of Georgia, for
that of Mr.. Graham, the ticket with Mr.. Web
ster. Col. VIM. E. Anderson. we understand, made
some very calm and sensible remarks upon the posi-.
ton which he and other seeding Wings occu-
pied at this juncture; and deprecated the action of
some who had, first, in obedience to the dictates
OF their independent judgment. come out, but
had subsequently allowed themselves to be whipped
in or carried off by the current.
In speaking of the substitution of another name for
that of Mr.. Graham, Gen. McRae adduced one rea-
son which should be we'll pondered by all the cti-
zens of Eastern Carolina, who persuaded to swa-
low the Scott ticket because Mr.. Graham is it.
Mr.. Graham, the General said, has always been un-
friendly to this section Of the State the subject of
Internal Improvement-he has been, like Governor
Morehead, Virgnian in all his feelings, and antagon-
stic to the Cape Fear region and interest. There
are few better authorities upon this point than Gen.
McRae. How do our Scott and Graham friends; get
this, expect a very enthusiastic support here
for Mr.. Graham? Wilmington Journal.

~ 1t is not to be disguised that the Federal
leaders making desperate efforts to carry North
Carolina for the Seward candidate. Our friends
must rouse themselves, and put forth their best
erertions We must meet the adversary at all
points, expose his tricks his false allegations against
our candidate; and we must also thoroughly advise
the people Of the danger they will incur by voting
for Scott and Graham. But all this will amount
to but little, if all the Democrats are not induced
to turn out and vote. The time for argument has
nearly passed-the hour for action is we'll nigh upon
us. L" Warn the Committees r'-be sure that the
day of election is well known among all our friends,
and that Electoral Tickets are duly distributed at
all the precincts. Go then to the polls, brother
Democrats, and work for your ticket, take your
neighbors along with you-get out all the rotcrs,
and the day will be ours.
