.eTOHTY CAROLINA.

No election has ever taken place in this
State which involved more important results
or which was watched with more interest by
the whole country. 1t was felt that as North
Carolina went so would go the electoral vote
of the nation for President and Vice Presi-
dent in November. Hence both sides Put
forth unusual efforts for success. The Ku
carry this State BY even few hundred votes,
they would have a prestige and a moral
weight which would swing them through in
triumph in November. Many of their best
orators were brought here and put to work.
Honest old Tammany furnished funds to a
large amount to influence the result, ballot
box suffers and frst-class political knaves,
skilled in all the adroit manipulations which
characterize the school of Tweed and Gree
ley politicians, were on hand to aid in the
work. For the first time under law passed
for their own advantage by the late democrat
ic Legislature, the voters were required to
vote in their own townships, and no registra-
ton was allowed on the day of election and
voters were challenged on the day of election
after they had been registered. In this way
the republicans must have lost several thous-
and votes in the State, but we have beaten
them against ali odds. 1t required main
strength and hard labor to do it. Oar victo-
ry IN November will be easier one than
the victory we now announce. Our majority
is not so large as to dull our friends, while
our opponents feel that they will not be able
to make the effort which they did i'll the last
contest. The Grant and Wilson men ara
united and enthusiastic. They contend for
liberty and peace and life and safety in their
own homes, and they feel that defeat would
consign them to fate terrible to contemp
late. On the other hand, the kuklux Gree
ley democracy contend for offices and spoils
and they are stimulated only by resentment
and revenge. There are thousands of the
who, like Wise and Mosby in Virginia. can
not be induced to vote for Greeley, while
nine out of the ten of those who will vote for
him will do so not preferring him save as
what they call lesser evil, thus admitting that
by their votes they are inflicting evil on the
country. The Grant and Wilson men will
renew the contest with heads up and flags
flying, marching together in solid column,
and working together as band of brothers
for the complete observation-disclosures of the
country, and for peace, liberty and good-w will
and that security for life and property with
out which, as MIR. Greeley has admitted, the
general government would be a failure.
They can already see unmistakable indica
tons Of victory in November. Correspon.

William Lloyd Garrison has written letter
to the Chairman of the Portland, Me-, Repub-
lican city Committee, in response to al in
vitatien to address the citizens of Portland.
Mr.. Garrison announces that he must decline
all invitations to center the lecture field,
but adas that "Wha. may fail to do with my
voice shall try to do with my pen to prevent
so great a calamity as the triumph of the
pseudo Liberal Republican Democratic par

NOTES FROM WASHING TON.

| In his correspondence to the Boston Jour
nal, Toby Candor," writing from Farming
ton, represents the republicans of that Sec
ton wide awake and Greeley stock rather
fat. He relates the following:
respectable and influential republican
farmer of this town, nened J. S. Mesher, was
cut to the quick on learning that he was
claimed for Greeley. Believing that every
man should show his colors, and with an eye
to public refutation of the charge against
h i'm, he has gone and raised beautiful
American flag, bearing the names of Grant
4 Wilson, from his house across the street
and no republican takes more delight than he
in witnessing Greeleyites being obliged to
walk or ride underneath banner which sym
bolizes principles demo ing human progress
and universal welfare and enduring prosper ity.
As an offset to the course of this true-blue
republican, dyed-in the wool democrat liv-
ing out of this village, has become so dis
gusted with politics since Greeley's nomina-
ton that he has stopped every newspaper he
has been in the habit of taking, and will not
even attend church on Sunday because he
has heard enough of preaching niger He
declares he will vote for Greeley out of spite.
The newly found political friends of Nor
ril, the disgruntled republican we have re-
ferred to- are rather hard on him, but proba-
bly, ii is not intentional. One old democratic
bloat, it is said, familiarity remarked to him
the other day in the presence of II crowd,
opium | never thought much of you until
you jined us. Now you're good egg;
swear, il nothing slips up, we shall have you
in the Cabinet, if Greeley's lected, Plum"
1t is not unlikely that the ex. Congressman,
who abruptly took his departure at this an
nouneement, involuntarily murmured, "Why
thus snch treatment at the hands of my only
friendsf"
Liberalism in Kentucky met with down
fall at Louisville, Kentucky last Monday, the
Greeley ticket being beaten about 5000 votes
Considering that the city gave democratic
majority of $4,000 last year this is pretty
bad showing for the liberal cause in that
State. The citizens ticket was successful.
The day before election the democratic or
gans exhorted the faithful to come up to the
scratch and prevent the dishonor of demo-
cratic route They didn't come.

WISCONSIN, FLORIDA, OREGON,
CALIFORNIA, INDIANA, ALABAMA.
These twenty-seven States we rely upon
to give majorities for Grant and Wilson.
And ROW for the reason Of our faith. In
carefully prepared table issued from the
Tribune Office. and published in that paper
but few weeks ago, the figures are given
showing 1.-THE latest tests OF the political
strength Of the republican and democratic
parties" chasing together those which
gave republican maiorites, and placing
those which gave democratic majorities by
themselves. In the list as prepared by
the Tribune it appears that by the latest
tests up TO the time that table was ar
ranged, the republicans held twenty-five
States and the democrats fifteen. But we
find that Oregon and North Carolina We're
classed as democratic States by. the Tri-
bune. This was true at the time the table
was prepared, but in June Oregon came
over to the republican side at the State
election, and now North Carolina follows
with arepnblican majority. Thus we have
twenty-four. republican States. rs shown
by the Tribune after correcting the two
States mentioned We add to these Ne.
vada, Indiana and Alabama, which have
small democratic majorities, but which we
BILE republican current as surely as Oregon
and North Carolina
The hope OF the Greeley party is based
upon an assumed large disaffection among
republicans in the North, and the influence
which their candidate for President is
supposed to have with the colored voters
of the South. The disaffecton in the North
exists only in imagination. A few republi.
cans of prominence, soured with the ad.
minstration have taken their leave. but the
masses are united and strong as ever for
President Grant Since March LIST
elections have been held in New
Hampshire, Connecticut, Oregon and
North Carolina. IF there had been
much dissatisfaction it would have APP
peared in these elections Parties are
close in all Of them, but we retook New
Hampshire from the democracy, revolu-
tionized Oregon and brought it over to the
republican side, held Connecticut. and
now regain North Carolina.
In the South since the vote in the Old
North State, stock In the colored vote has
fallen fiat. North aud South the tide is
surging against Greedy. In November his
