North Carolina.
We have not seen full official return of
the late election 10 North Carolina but
the Ad Ka1orem Banner, (publishedat Ral-
eigh,) of Monday, says: "It is a fixed
fact that Convention has been voted down
by from 1000 to 1900, majority" We
deem this fortunate for the Secessiouists, as
there was number Of counties which vo-
ted for Union and a Convention. Gov.
Ellis has declared his purpose to convene
the Legislature to call a convention; and
many of these Union delegates will have to
change their tactics, or be thrown overheard,
in the new election. We have said all the
while that the people Of North Carolina
would be right if the issue was fairly pre-
souted to them. They have been cheated.
A convention will now be called in the
only proper way; aud that convention, pur.
ged of the subnissionists, will, we venture
to predict, have the State out of the Union
in three months.

Fort Smith, therefore, strongly Union, has
been converted to secession by Lincoln's
inaugural This precious document may
have bad a similar influence on the conveu-
ton. The Monticello Sage says that South
Arkansas is right, and if the delegates of
that portion of the State cannot prevail,
they should at once agitate the division of
the State, making the Arkansas river the
dividing line. This, or kinded ideas which
may be developed outside or inside the
convention, may force that body to submit
Secession ordinance to the people. Un-
less "outside pressure" is used iu some
way, either through Old Abe or the seces.
