Elections in other States.

With the exception of Ioaca, the recent elections
have resulted gloriously for the Democratic party.
Iowa is claimed by the black Republicans by from
three to five thousand majority; but, we learn
from the Washington Star, it is by means certain
that they have clear victory in that State. Strong
hopes entertained of the reelection of Mr.. Hall,
DEM to Congress. The Star says:
"IowA-The Hon. Mr.. Hall reached Washington yester-
day. arriving under the firm conviction of his reelection
to the House of Representatives of the United States. We
learn that before he left Iowa he had satisfied himself that,
in the twelve counties of his district from which had
received reliable returns he had done better than
at his first election There but four counties in those
years ago and his election information is said
led him to the conclusion that he could not fail to
well in them before Under these circumstances he is
confident that he is reelected, hear notwithstanding
the tenor of the dispatches Chicago which
We sufficiently posted in the details of Iowa poll
tics to express judgment of the subject but
have far greater confidence in his judgment the
than that of the class of politicians get up and send
Oft the election by telegraph fr the associated
OF the Iowa election, which is really yet ia fog"
There was great rejoicing among the K Ms when
the telegraph announced that Crittenden county, in
Arkdnsus, mad elected the entire X. N. ticket and
on that Insignificant statement the State was de-.
cIared to have gone in the direction. Bot
poor Sam !"-he gets cold comfort at every turn
1t seems that even Crittenden county has voted for
the Democrats; and the majority for Elias N. Con-
way, Dem. for Governor, over Yell, X. n. will ex-
ceed 5000! Good for Arkansas, and just what we
| expected.
In Missouri there three parties-the Demo
cratic, headed by Polk for Govcrnor-the K Ms,
headed by Ewing, and the Benton party, headed
by Thos. II. Benton. A despatch from st. Louis,
dated August II, announces it quite certain that
the Democrats hace carried the State oser the Il N's
md neil tbor ~,
ruthers, Anderson, Woodson, Craig, Blair, Green
| and Phelps elected to Congress.
| In kentucky the Democrats have gained about
| 5000 votes in sixty-eight counties
| The result in these States with that in North
Carolina, renders it morally certain that James Bu-
chanan will be the next President. Mr.. Fillmore is
not in the race; and the hosts of sectionaiism and
dsunonism under Fremont, will be overwhelmed
! by the united national Democracy.
DEMOCRATIC Mass Misunderstanding to an
nouncemcnt Mass Meeting of the Democracy of
Rowan was held in the Courthouse Tuesday
last. Speeches were made during the afternoon by
Hon. Z. Craige, Il. P. Waring, Esq, Democratic
Eiector, Mr.. Mclean and Frank I. Wilson.
After the usual prelimnaries of organization, Mr..
Craige took the stand and enchained the attention
of the multitude for more than an hour with one of
the ablest political speeches have ever listened
to. He completely refuted all the charges made by
the X. n party against the present administration,
and showed conclusively that the peace and safety
| of the country depends upon the success of the
Democratic party in November next, and the eleva-
ton of that sound, conservative National democrat,
James Buchanan. to the Presidential chair. The
question for the people &C decide is whether they
will have Buchanan and perpetuate the Union, or
Fremont and dis-Union. Mr.. Fimores chances are
utterly hopeless, and every vote cast for him in the
South will be an indirect vote for the abolition party
at the North. Mr. C. dealt in facts and not in spec
ulative probabilities, and must have succeeded in
convincing every man present, of whatever party,
that it would be suicidal in this contest to cast a
vote for any other than Mr.. Buchanan. He con.
cluded by making rapid review of the doings Of
the present Congress, example of what we
might expect if Black Republican should unfor.
tunately be made President His speech was well
received throughout and he was repeatedly greeted
with the most deafenng applause.
K. T. Warng, ESQ.,, was then introduced to the
meeting. He made short, but excellent speech
The call upon him entirely unexpected, as il
had been arranged that he should address the meet
ing at night. He is forcible and very effective
speaker, thoroughly acquainted with all the political
questions which agitating the country, and il
doing good service in the campaign. He was fol
lowed by Messrs Mclean and Wilson, both of whom
made good and telling speeches The meeting tber
adjourned to meet again at candle-ght.
At about O'Clock the re-assembing took place
when Mr. Clement of Davie, came forward and adj
dressed the assemblage in very forcible and eio
| Queflt manner. lie was followed Oy MeSSrS. MCLear
and Wilson, who wound up the performances for th
day. The meeting adjourned amidst the most in
tense enthusiasm. Salisbury Banner.
MASS NETTING IN WINsrON.-The meeting at thi
place on Tuesday last, although not very large wa
very spirited and enthusiastic. The attendance
under all the circumstances, was considerably large
. than we had expected
Thos. Settle, Jr, ESQ.,, of Rockingham, our can
ddate for Eector in the sixth District addressed tn
people in of the ablest and most eloquent address
es to which we have listened in time. His man
of bringing forward his arguments and proofs
and the interesting and effective style of his address
enchained the undivided attention of the audienc
for some two hours.
r We have never heard more complete refutatio
of the doctrines of Know Nothngisnl--a more elo
quent vindication of the great principles Q
Democracy, than Mr.. Settle made in his effol
, on this occasion. 1t was the first time W
political subject and fully assured that h
forms most worthy and excellent candidate for tn
Electorship He is more than match for Ger
Leach-aithough much younger man; and if Nj
Settle shall thoroughly the District prcviou
to the election in November we feel confident it wi
; go for Buchanan.
/. Mr. Settle is entitled to the thanks of the Democ
racy of Forsyth for the selfsacrfcing exertons h
has made in order to be present at the meeting, an
for the able and highly interesting speech which
. delivered on the occasion Western Sentinel
