Ing til" parties j to C. Messrs. Nelson,
Stalks and Es[leridgo would undoubtedly
:tand firm in resisting the election Of any
Democrat wlicmsotvcr. Bat it is doubted
whether Mcssrs. Brabson, 1l;ttou and Qua1lcs
would satd tire. Their constituents would
undoubtedly prefer Breckinridge to old Jo.

cile1- demonstration Of that character were

NORTH CAROLINA is divided in the House Of
Eop:ese natives as follows:
D.mar~ats. South Axufricans.
Thcmas Kutfin, II. n. Ii. Smith.
Warren N,uslnw John A. Gilmer,

Barton Cra.Ee....4. q, .. Vance. ........4
Ar. Smith already owes a debt Of g-a:isaic
to the Democracy for voting in bsdy for him
for Speaker, and il is not unlikely lie would
lake the opp rtunity Of squaring The account
hy voting for Breckenridge, if it should ap-
pear that there was no chance fur Mr.. Bell.
HIS vote would give North Carolina to Dreck-
inridse, and leave ouly one more State to turn
the sca'c. But if his serse Of honor would
rot permit linn to 80 over 10 his hercditsry
foes, no such transcendentslsm would stand
in the way If Ar. Vance or Mr. Leach-two

fiavery, who have steadily voted With the
Democracy during the pas. session.
W!'a: will Mr. Douglas country friends say If

the Dreckinridge party declare that be would

pared to say that they are mistaken in their

But Douglas carries the election into the
House, who cares whether Breckinridge or
old 10. Ian. goes to the White House? Per-
haps the ho1est yeomanry who throw away
their votes on Douglas will have some tears
