The contest for Governor of North. Carolina is be-
tween Judge Ellis, the regular nominee of the demo-
era &c party, and McRae, boiling democrat, run
ming as an independent candidate, and, in the alb
sence OF any other candidate, receiving the support
Of the opposition. Running the obsolete idea of
distribution of the public lands he has sought to
disorganize the party. The only effect has been to
place himself beyond the pale of that organization
and to bring upon himself the unanimous denuncia-
ton of the democratic press In North Carolina
disorganizers are treated by the democracy as de-
serters, and Immediately driven into the ranks of the
opposition. By pursuing this stern and unyielding
course, the party established its moral power, aud
has continued to grow in strength and numbers un.
til it has become the ruling party in the State. Mr.
McRae will be beaten some twenty to thirty thou
sand votes. The opposition is completely disorgan.
lied, and as consequence many additions to the
ranks of the Democracy have been made from the
members of the old Wing party. Among the recent
accessions we may mention the name of Henry w.
Miller, Esq, of Raleigh, for long time the very
head Of the Wing party in North Carolina. He is
recognized by ali as able and eloquent man, and
he has already done good service for the party to
which he has attached himself He has participated
actively in the present canvass, having addressed
several mass meetings during the past two months.

EseLAsp A,p Se@n-A Wons ABour CusA.-A
more significant article hea not bppeAfed IN an En-
glish Or American journal Tor twelve months past,
thanthai which graeed the editorial coun,ns OF the
Londen NSa6 fdf tie 7tli July. having reference to
the afairss Of England and Spain. The Spanish
Ministry and the Spanish Press having been guilty
of some little insolence towards England concerning
the supptession ar the slave trade, The 1hInderef
proceeds in pretty plain languages to let Spain know
who and what she is in the eyes of the world and
to suggest to her some rather cogent reasons why
she should behave herself and not indulge in empty
threats and impudent gasconade towards power
which can very easily dispose of her when the
cessy may arise for u aking such disposition. The
Times hints that it would require only an UNDER
standing between Lord Malmesbury and Mr.. Dallas,
to bring upon Spain the immediate loss Of Cuba,
and what ia most surprising to ia that the Times
caLddly states its opinion that it would be far bet
ter for the interests Of civilization that the Queen Of
the Antilles should belong to the United States than
to an effe.e monarchy like Spain. This is surely
remarkable admission, and it shows that the pnblic
mind of England is preparing itself for the future
acquisition of Cuba by our Government. as the most
proper and natural destiny of that fertile but mis-
governed island. We do not see how doubt can
rest on the minds Of any people in Christendom
that Cuba would be more prosperous under the pro-
lection of the United States. than a colonial de-
tendency of Spain, nor Go We think the opinion can
be rejected that the force of events must inevitably
bring Cuba into our hands at an earlier or later day.
We are no fillibuste 8, nor even prepared to
subscribe to the doctrine of the Ostend Manifesto,
yet whoever will cast his eye upon the map Of the
world, will see at glance that by propinquity and
climate, Cuba more properly belongs to this Repub
lie than to any other power We do not assert that
this neighborhood would justify us in wrestling it
from Spain. but We do say that if Cuba instead of
lying like gem in that blue tropical sea which lis
between the two Americas. had been situate near
the stormy entrance to the British Channel or if it
had risen out of the hOjSterOnS waters of the Bay
Bscay, it would long ago have been taken from the
degenerate successors of Charles and Philip. and set
as jewel in the crown Of England or France. The
day is not FAR distant in our judgment, when the
Cabinet at Madrid will be forced to consent to sale
of Cuba by the same law which compels the old hi
dalgo to part with his master pieces by Marlo and
Velasquez-the law of hard necessity Till then
rrofably afford to wait for the possession,
taking excellent care. meanwhile that it shall not

The General was one of the victims of the Nation

Since that day General Quitman has not bad well

As soon as Congress adjourned, he hastenei to his
home, hoping that cessation from work and repose
in the bosom Of his family, would restore him to
health. The fatigue of travelling night and day
exaggerated his disease, and when he led Natchz
he was compelled to take at once to his bed.
The marriage, few days afterwards, of his daugh-

ease-and he Hospitality remained up until alter mid
night, to do the honors to the guests with that
