Eastern brethren will do their full SHARE Bragg will be re-

We can assure our correspondent that the Demo-
Gratis of the East will 90 their whole duty, both in
August and November
Anotherwell informed friend writes us rs follows
from Asheville, under date May II, 1856:
"Gov Bragg and Mr. Gimer spoke to-day to very

in my hearing, since the discussion closed that Gner

may judge from this how feeble the efforts of the great
Boanerges of Guford? As far as can hear Bragg will
certainly run ahead OF Cngmans in this District If
you 40 as well down East may the State down for
ten thousand majority
We learn that at every point in the West where
the candidates for Governor have spoken, Know
Nothings have left the councils and taken position
with the Democrats Nine of them did so at Ashe.
vilie We learn also. that I. D. Bryson, ESQ.,, of
jackson Co., is out for Gov. Bragg and on the Dem
ocratic platform; and We hear the same as to COL
Roen, of Cherokee Their prospects for e-election
are good. DR.. Samuel L. Love will most probably
be the Democratic candidate in Haywood and if he
should be- he will of course trumphantly carry the
County. Mr.. N. W. Wood6n will most probably
oppose Mr.. Coleman again for the Senate, but he
will be badly beaten. DR.. Yancy will again swl p
Madison, COL Fagg to the contrary notwithstanding
Mr. Avery. if he should consent to take the field,
will carry Burke and there can be no room for
doubling the success of Thomas in the Haywood
Senatorial District. We have strong hopes, too of
Buncombe, and sincerely trust that Marcus Erwin
may be prevailed upon to run in that County
" Skies bright, and Frightening" Let us all do
our duty, brother Democrats, and the most signal
and glorious victory ever achieved in the State
awaits us
