The summer and Fall Els ctions-North Caro-
nna-,he BEGINNING OF the Work.
North Carolina has bravely led off in the
summer elections According to the returns
of the election in that State. which took place
on Thursday last, it is highly probable that
Dockery, the wing candidate for Governor,
has been chosen, by good round majority,
over Bragg, the democratic candidate; and it
is very likely, too, that wing Legislature has
also been elected, which will secure the return
of two United States whig Senators to fill the
vacancies occurring from the expiration Of the
terms respectively of Mr.. Mangum (who has
been some time out,) and Mr.. Badger, who goes
out in March next The triumph of the wings
in North Carolina is q result which nobody
has expected. 1t was universally supposed that
the whig party was dead beyond resuscitation
in that State. If the North Carolina wings
have carried the day, therefore, it is the most
striking illustration which has yet been given
"
Washington, and a very significant warning Of
what may be expected in the elections Of this
year, yet to take place
Missouri holds her State election for Legis-
lature and members of Congress tomorrow,
the It'll instant. The Legislature to be chosen
will also have to elect United States Senator
in the place of Atchison, whose term will ex-
pire in March. There are three parties in Mi !:
souri--the Benton democratic party, the anti
Benton democratic party, and the wings. The
two democratic factions are fighting each other
with the animosity Of the Guelphs and Ghibel-
lines, or like the Kilkenny cats, they are tear
ing each other into finders, tooth and nail
Benton is the ruling spirit Of the dght-it is
struggle between him and his enemies for life
and death. He is q candidate for reelection
to the House in the st. Louis district, and also
candidate for the Senate, in the place of
Atchison. At the last Senatorial election Ben
ton was ruled out of the Senate by fusion of
the Atchison democrats with the wings upon
Geyer, (whig) who was thus elected The
game this time will most probably be Ro-
land for an Oliver, in the election of another
whig in the place Of Atchison. In fact, the
democracy Of Missouri are in the position of
the same "happy family" in New York, with
this dfference-that the rage and the wrath be-
tween the hards and the softs of Missouri are in
tensifed and exasperated by the savage spirit
of Benton and the deadly hate of Atchison to
the fighting point The trouble in the family
is comparatively q mild form Of cholera morbus
in New York, while in Missouri it is the cho-
lera asphyxia in its worst type. A day or two
win determine whether Benton is extinguished
or still holds the field.
The following is the schedule Of the summer
and fall elections for the
