IL
FORTY ON JOINT BALLOT, AND TEN
THOUSAND MAJORITY FOR BRAGG!
We give below all the returns received up to the
time of going to press. The Democracy in all por-
tons of the State have done remarkably WELL They
have achieved the most signal and brilliant victory
ever won and recorded in the political history of the
State. Where all our friends have acted so we'll it
would be alike nust and unnecessary to discrimi-
nate, except SO for as the returns themselves show
the difference in the gains. A simple statement of
the result in the various Counties, is sufficient
These returns are full of hope for the country-ful
of patriotism, and pervaded, from the seashore to
the mountains, with spirit of indomitable energy
and OF glorious victory. Here they are. Let the
record circulate, that every Democrat and anti.
Know Nothing may see for himself the result of our
mutual abors and sacrifices in the cause of the Con-
stitution and the Union.
