The North Carolina Election.

The election in North Carolina will
take place on the first Thursday in Au-
gust. The Administration is using both
sword and purse to carry it. Mr.. Beck,
Congressman from Kentucky, writes that
two hundred and twenty three thousand
dollars have been carried into the State

Marshall and at the same time Boutwell,,
in behalf Of the Administration, is MAX
ing stump speeches, and threatening a
continuance of the war upon the citizens
of the State, if they presume to exercise
their right of suffrage in a manner dis
pleasing to the Grants at Washington.
What effect these appliances of purse
and bayOnet will have, we have no means
of estimating; but the tone of the anti
Radical press and politicians do not in
spire US with over-eontident expectations
o. victory on their side.

one year ago was 5000.
