more cards of withdrawal from the American party

The north Carolina Elections.

The returns come in slowly, but their complexion
is too uniform TO leave any doubt of the main result
The Democrats have carried the State By large ma
iority for Governor larger than any Democratic
candidate has obtained in the State. The
Legislature will be Democratic by considerable
majority, Halifax, Wake, Orange and Rowan, have
already given sufficient gains to councrbalance our
loss in Bladcn and Brunswick, although we must
confess that ii is a hard thing to become reconcled
to the loss Of Langdon, White and Taylor all good,
true and clever The Democrats there must
pick their fints-Serry their ranks-put away their
divisions and they will yet stand erect as in days of
yore. Never give up the ship. Never allow disor,
ganizalion TO leave them again open to atack-never
cry over spilled milk, but prepare to do better.
Sampson, Cumberland and New Hanover, where for
a time our strength was nullifed, but where we are
now stronger for Bragg than ever before, show what
concentrated action do. If we have lost 8 men,
bers-2 Commoners and a Senator, IN our neighbour
ing counties, we have gained II or 70 in Halifax,
Wake, johnson, Orange and Rowan, making a net
gain of or Q, on joint BALLOT Guilford has given
gain for GlImer, but not within five hundred of
what the orators at the big ratification meeting pedg-
ed her to give.
Perhaps we may yet get additional returns by tele-
graph, but whether or not, the game is up, and
Thomas Bragg is very much reelected, and Mr. Gil.
mer is very much beaten.--Daity Journal 9th INST
