Douglas in North.Carolina.

We make the following extract from the Wash
ington correspondence of Forney's Philadelphia
Press:
"In North Carolina, the canvass for Douglas, al
though begun at late day, is conducted most Wig
orous.y The entire Democratic delegation in Con-
gress, except Hon. Warren WinSlow, who seems to
have completely subsidized since the adjournment Of
Congress, have taken ground for Breckenridge but
the champions of Douglas include of the ablest
Democrats in the State. Nv. Miller, r. P. Dick,
Thomas Settle late Speaker of the North Carolina
House of Commons, John D. Hyman d. X. McRae,
late consul to Paris, Quentin Busbee, and DR.. Kean,
late Breckenridge eector are actively in the field
The Bell men are led Sy Hon. Jno. A. Gilmer, Hon.
W. N. II. Smith, former administration fusion can
ddate for Speaker of the House of Representatives
of the United States, and eXSecretary of the Navy
! Graham. Ny best information leads me to put
down this State certain for Bell by large ma
jority."
The correspondent is mistaken as to Mr.. Wins
low. That gentleman is actively engaged in the
canvass for Breckenridge and Lane
! And now, as this correspondent has given black
Republican Forney some idea of the Douglas
strength in North Carolina, and appears to eiciate
himself with the expectation that the State i rote
for Bell we will furnish in reply some information
as to the Breckenridge strength in North Carolina
In the first place both our Senator's Messrs Cling
man and Bragg, are for Breckenridge. In the sec
ond place all the Democratic members of the House
of Representatives, Messrs. Crage, Ruffin, Wins
low, and Branch, are for Breckenridge; and all of
them, Senators and Representatives in the field
working for the ticket In the third place all the
Democratic papers in the State, with the exception
of two, (not including the Newbern Progress, which
is not party paper as its Editor declares, but is
nevertheless for Douglass are for Breckinridge and
these two papers have recently been established as
Douglas campaign papers. In the fourth and last
place, such Democrats as the following are working
for the Breckenridge ticket: A. NJ Scales, E. G..
Haywood, John W. Moore, W. B. Rodman, W. A.

Shepherd, M. S Stokes, and many others who might
be named, if we had space to do so. These are all
gentlemen well known in the State, and whose IN
fuence will be the first Tuesday in November.
But this correspondent says his information is
such as to lead him to put down this State GER
tain for Bell by large majority" Is the wish in
this case father to the thought? We tell this
respondent he is mistaken. North Carolina aoill
cote for Breckenridge and Lane.
