You can now leave Wilmington at ~ O'Clock in the
morning, spend five hours in Raleigh, returning spend
six hours in GoIdsboro', and get back to Wilmington
BY five next morning. We did that thing ourself, and
are prepared to say that it's mighty fast way of doing
things, but at the tme it is awful thrying the

make the experiment Perhaps they will be like we

this State The only thing against which the Democrats

Daily Journal of yesterday
Rss~ The New York Herald of Friday last boldly
and Internationally asserted that Lincoln would GER
tanly carry New York, and therefore be certainly
elected The World the Tribune the Times, the Sun,
the Courier and Enquirer and indeed all the Republi-
can papers talk of Lincons election oregone con-
clusion.
TO this apparent concession of the certain election OF
Lincoln may be attributed much of the panic in the
stock market, resulting in average decline of some
four per cent in a day or two.
1t would now appear that the hopes of the conserva-
ves are rather recovering again from their depression
The news from the interior is said to be more favourable
than had been anticipated and the chances for very
large majority ia the city and adjoining towns become
greater every day. If New York and Brooklyn 60
against Lincoln by sixty thousand they may defeat him
Now, we hardly know what to make OF these rumors
and speculations There is something in them. Evi-
IDENTIFY there is heathul reaction, but whether that
may have power enough to accomplish the object in
view remains to be seen. T. is doubtful. Money and
effort can almost work miracles and to save New ork
from Lincoln at this time would be little short of mir
ace Upon the whole it appears to US that there is
hope-somethDg more than possibility of carrying the
State for the Fusion ticket but this possibility hardly
amounts to any strong probability
California.
! We have been favored with the perusal OF letter
from the golden State of the Pacific, written by Thos
Laspeyre, Esq. formerly of Wilmington, to a relative
here.
Mr.. L. appears to have entered warmly into the polt
ical contest now going throughout the country
" AS matter of course, he says he is on the side o
the true National Democracy who follow the noble
standard of Breckenridge and Lane"
In California there are four parties in the field =
Breckenridge and Lane, Douglas and Johnson Bell anC
Everett and Lincoln and Hamin. OF the three las
Lincoln and Hamn are the strongest, and are the mos
formidable foes the Democrats will have to contend with
Mr. Laspeyre says ' think we will carry California
for Breckenridge and Lane by ten thousand majority
California, although non-slavehoding State, is loyal
the Constitution and the Democracy
We are pleased to learn that our former eowcitize
has again been nominated for the Legislature by th
Democracy Of his county, THAT in which Stockton
stuated and there is little doubt of his election
in which event he will be prominent candidate for tn
Speakership.

2 rights of the South purely princple it is matte
in which they have no direct interest. If the Sout
will not stand up and vote for the only candidate
advocating constitutional equality she cannot expec
