IN this county sincere and grateful acknowedg-
ments for the increased majority which they gave
Bs1gg in the election on Thursday The Democracy
of Warren have given good account Of them
selves, and have shown again their noble devotion
to the cause of equal rights and to the principles OF
the Constitution. They have increased the majority
of Bragg by 1873 votes, which, under the circum.
stances is doing remarkably well. The death-knell
of Know-N othingism has been rung in the land Of
Macon, and scarcely any one is left to do honor to
its memory. "Sam" made his death-struggle here
on Thursday last, but was devoured by the lion
hearted Democracy of Warren. He is dead cock
in the pit, and will never crow again in this county

Tn RESULT IN FoRsYTH.-From the official re-
turns which present below, it will be seen that
the entire Democratic ticket has succeeded in our
County by largely increased majority. The vote
is the largest ever poll d in the County.
Gov. Bragg's majority is 1914. His majority in
1854 was IS. A Democratic gain of 30. The ma
jorty for Martin, Democrat for the Senate, is lO8-

Wilson, X. N, 132-Majority for Waugh, Demo-
crat, over Matthew'S K. n, i'll. Mr.. Fynt's ma
jority for Sheriff 236.
This is needed most glorious victory. If our
sister Counties have done WE'LL the Old North State
has gone for Bragg by at least 10000 majority.
There great rejoicing in the spare last evening,
and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed until late
hour.
We offer to the editor of the Peoples Press the

The result in Wayne county is; peculiarly crafty
ing to the friends of Governor Bragg. well to
every citizen who fully appreciates the blessings of
our government, it is, and the inestmable worth
of this glorious Union 1t was thought, by some,
that local dssensions would operate unfavorably on
the cause of gallant leader, and be the means of
reducing his majority in the county. This we knew
was a false conclusion, and we glad to see that
the result justifies our opinion. Indeed such was
the intensity of feeling manifested III the local cleo
tons, especially between the friends of the cand
dates for the Commons, that saw every available
vote would be polied. 1t was so, and Wayne coun-
ty polled larger vote On last Thursday, than she
ever did before 1t redounded to Bragg's advan-
tage, enhanced the cause of Democracy and the re-
suit is. that Governor Bragg received from the vo-
tiers of Wayne nett gain Of too hundred and SEQ
enteen votes
At the general result in the State, the Democracy
of the entire Union will rejoice The first of series
of State elections it will tell powerfully for De o.
cracy and the Union. Nor do we fear that, under
the present aspect of things. single Southern State
will pronounce verdict adverse to that which North
Carolina has recorded ALL as one, will declare for
Democracy and the Union, and unite, next Novem-
Der, to elect Buck and Breck," to save the Union
and strangle fanaticsm in its detiled cradle. With
such q result, and such it will be, Bragg and the
Democracy of North Carolina are inseparably con-
nected; to contemplate which is glory enough for
any poor mortal, this side of eternity.
