The Philadelphia North Amsylcan
makes the following remarks on the
North Carolina election returns:
. In 50 much as is reported Of this
North Carolina election, il Is interesting
to observe that the eastern large slave
holding counties invariably show gains for
Ellis, Democrat; twelve of these named
which had $4,000 slaves in 1850 to 95,-l
600 tree inhabitants il all cases, giving
not only large but increased Democratic
majorities. Next, five populous central
counties, with $4,000 slaves to $4,000
tree Inhabitants. give equal votes for the
two candidates, the gain from 1858 be-
ing largely from the opposition, however !;
and lastly their populous western ooun-
ties, with $4,000 free inhabitants to 5000
slaves, gives very large majorities and
large gains for the opposition. These
are striking facts, and they show clearly
that States ike North Carolina have a
lively interest IN such internal questions
as that which entered into this election,
and that the decision whether slave prop
erty shall continue, as now, exempt from
taxation, is quite as important to them
as the extension Of slavery into new
Territories.
G Hon. P. o. Herbert, Ex-6ov-
enor of Louisiana. comes out for Breck-
inridge and disunion in one breath, or
rather in one letter, in which be says:
The secession Of the Southern dele
gates at Charleston and Baltimore, upon
principle so vital to Us, and the final
nomination of Messrs. Breckenridge and
Lane upon this principle, prove that the
South has at last come to her senses, and
openly declared her determination 10
accept the responsibilities forced upon
her. Fer once, the issue is fairly and
properly made. Let US trust that all are
in earnest, and that the matter will be
carried out. Mr.. Seward-there is DC
use in being blind TO it's right there is
OF, soon viii be, an irsepressible conflict.
When the war of words is over, and
things come to the worst, as most assured.
! ly viii happen, let Us hope that no ons
will be absent from roll-call.'
