BIADEN BRUNSWICK AND CoLUMBUs.-From Bladen
we receive the most cheering advces relative to the con-
test between T. D. Mcdowell, Esq, Democrat, and A.
J. Jones, ESQ.,, Opposition. Mr.. Mcdowell is popular
he is more than popular in Baden His county is
proud of him, and will give him glorious majority
What will Columbus do? She, too, ought to give him
Il majority worthy of her Democratic strength. The
Democrats of Brunswick have been kept in the minority
but they have never ceased trying They never deserted
their banner. Let them do their duty now for Mellow
ell, and the day is theirs.
Up THE RoAD.-We have seen and conversed with
gentlemen from Duplin, Wayne, Edgecombe, Wilson
and Halifax. In Dupin, Ellis will do uery aren. Nc
Rae voters in old Dupn are few and far between. The
same is the case in Wayne. Judge Ellis will get bet
ter vote in that county than any Democratic candidate
ever has done. In Wilson and Edgecombe there is no
open opposition. No such thing is heard Of Ellis
majority will only be limited, practically speaking, by
the vote poed. The opposition, always small, will this
year be insignificant.
In Halifax, Ellis majority will be unprecedented An
effort at opposition to the Democratic County Cand-
dates will we think and trust, fail. dead
set appears to be made at William Hill Esq,
formerly Of this town. He represented the county OF
Halifax in the last Legislature.
The only counties on Or near the line of the Whining
ton and Weldon Railroad in which any difficulty exists,
are Johnston and Nash In Johnston there is q sort
of composite opposition, made up of Linn B. Sanders,
Esq., formerly Democrat and certain other gentlemen
who never were Democrats. To meet these the Demo-
Gratis have regular ticket composed of good true and
reliable men, who ought to beat them and who we feel
certain, will beat them.
In Nash there are two sets of candidates, but there
the party lines not strictly drawn. In fact all of
the candidates profess themselves Democrats in favor of
the election Of Judge Ellis although fear that set
Or some of them did, at time coquette too unmis-
akeaby with the distribution leaders, including MesSrS
McRae Arlington, etc We must think it always best
to be sure. THIS time risks ought to be The
good Democrats of Nash owe it to themselves to cast
their votes for gentlemen in whom they have the most
implicit confidence. To let no sort of doubt exist Re-
member that they are virtually voting for two United
States Senator'S for upon the Legislature to be chosen
Thursday, will deyolve the selection of ro United
States Senators
Tie STATE GENERALLY.-Wc receive the most cheer
ing assurances from all parts of the State In the great
majority of the counties Judge Ellis will GAIN and in
three counties, perhaps four, local issue on the
Danvile Road may lose Judge Ellis some votes but not
many. Still, it need not be disguised that in the West
and centre especially, the issue is made strictly
party one and Mr. McRae will receive full opposition
vote or nearly So The edct has gone forth from Raj
eigh to that effect We mention the West and centre
more especially, because Raleigh influence dicator
has ceased to be so potent throughout the East.
Tomorrow "wednesday Judge Ellis will be at home
in Salisbury. Mr.. McRae will speak in Fayetteville
tomorrow evening. Judge Ellis will get fine vote ii
Cumberland county and in the town of Fayetteville, bu
no doubt the sachems of the opposition will patch VI
some understanding with Mr.. McRae, so that they MAJ
have an excuse to vote against the candidate of tn
Democracy.
OUR COUNTY IN PARTICULAR.-Judge Ellis nomina
ton gave the fullest satisfaction to the Democrats
New Hanover county. 1t just suited them. The Judg
is popular in this section. His position on the Danvil
Connection is right, while Mr.. McRae's is wrong
Judge Ellis ought to get and, think, will get YER
large vote, and very fine majority. He ought to ge
the largest majority ever given by the county.
The regular county ticket will certainly be elected 0
that there ought not to exist doubt But we have sale
our say with reference to that and need not add any
thing further now
