from the Washington Star, it is by no means certain
that they have clear victory in that State Strong
hopes are entertained of the reelection Of Mr.. Hail.
Dem. to Congress. The Star says:

There was great rejoicing among the K. Ms when
the telegraph announced that Crttenden county, in
arkansas. had elected the entire K. n ticket; and
on that insignificant statement the State was de.
clared to have gone in the same direction. But

1t seems that even Crittenden county has voted for
the Democrats; and the majority for Elias N. Con-

expected
In Missouri there are three parties-the Demo-

the Democrats hace carried the State orer the T. Ms

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 sectionalsm and
disunionism under Fremont, will be overwhelmed
by the united national Democracy.
DEMOCRATIC Mass Misunderstanding to an
nouncement Mass Meeting of the Democracy of
Rowan was held in the Courthouse on Tuesday
last. Speeches were made during the afternoon b.
Hon. B. Craige, r. P. Warning, Esq, Democratic
Eector, Mr. Mclean and Frank l. Wilson.
After the usual preminaries of organization, Mr.
Craige took the stand and enchanted the attention
of the multitude for more than an hour with one of
the ablest political speeches we have ever listened
to. He completely refuted all the charges made by
the K. 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 tc decide is whether they
will have Buchanan and perpetuate the Union, or
Fremont and dis-Union. Mr.. Fillmores chances are
utterly hopeless and every vote cast for him in the
South will be 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
vote for any other than Mr.. Buchanan. He con-
cluded by making rapid review of the doings of
might expect ifa Black Republican should unfor-
tunately be made President His speech was well
received throughout, and he repeatedly greeted
with the most deafening applause.
R. P. Waring, Esq, was then introduced to the
meeting. He made q short, but excellent speech.
The call upon him was entirely unexpected, as it
had been arranged that he should address the meet
ing at night. He is forcibe and very effective
speaker. thoroughly acquainted with all the political
questions which are agitating the country, and is
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 then
adjourned to meet again at candle-light
At about o'clock the re-assembling took place
when Mr.. Clement of Davie, came forward and ad-
dressed the assembage in very forcible and elo-
quent manner He was followed by Messrs. Mclean
and Wilson, who wound up the performances for the
day. The meeting adjourned amidst the most in
tense enthusiasm Salisbury Banner.
MASS NETTING IN WNsroN.-The meeting at this
place on Tuesday last although not very large was
very spirited and enthusiastic. The attendance,
under all the circumstances, considerably larger
than We had expected.

people of the abest and most eloquent address

and the interesting and effective style of his address
unclaimed the undivided attention of the audience
for some two hours.
We have never heard more complete refutation
of the doctrines of Know Nothngism-a more elo.

Democracy, than Mr.. Settle mate in his effort
on this occasion. 1t was the first time We
have had the pleasure Of hearing him upon
political subject; and fully assured that be

Eec,orship. He is more than match for Gen

Settle shall thoroughly the District previous
