The Election. The Raleigh
Star has increased Gen. Dudley's
rhijority for Governor to 5,140,
the returns from Wilkes and Gates
having been incorrectly given.
The precise vote will not proba
bly be ascertained until the Le
gislature meets, as the returns are
to be sealed and transmitted to
the Speaker of the Senate, who
is to open and publish them in
the presence of a majority of the
members of both Houses the
Governor elect lo enter on the
duties of the office on the 1st day
of January nest.
We will publish the names of
the members elect of the two Hou
ses, so soon as we get complete
returns.

then, must be, on behalf of those
who urge the people to vote for
Judge White, and who profess to
consider it "unfortunate" that the
election should go to the House,
to transfer the voles of Judge
White, in the electoral college, to
Gen. Harrison. Are the honest
people of this Stale, to be thus
cheated and tricked out of their
ritiht to make a President? If
not, let them support the Republi
can Candidate, Martin Van Bu

nation that can, under any rea
sonable probability, be elected by
the people. ib.

The election of President.
-Now that our-State elections are
over, and the people have to look
forward to that of President, in
November, we may call upon
them to think and examine for
iheuiselves. The Editor of the
Halttigh Register says he should
consider it unfortunate for the
election of President to go to the
House of Representatives. Eve
ry man in the community who de-
iiies the correct administration of
the Government, will unite in this
patriotic sentiment. Yet the Edi
tor is a supporter of Judge White,
and is violently opposed lo Mr.
Van Buren. We ask then, in
candor, how does he, as a suppor
ter of Judge White, expect to pre
vent the election going to the
House, by voiing for him? Let
this question be answered; not by
mere words, but by naming the
States he is expected to icceive.
He has not an electoral ticket for
med with a view to his support,
except in the States of Virginia,
North Carolina, Georgia, Alaba
ma, Mississippi, Missouri, Louisi
ana, and Arkansas. These States
give but 87 votes, and no candid
man believes Judge White will re
ceive the one-half of them. Who
then is to be voted for? Mr. Web
ster; his support has settled down
in the single State of Massachu
setts, and possibly to that of little
Delaware. Can Gen. Harrison
be elected by the people? Give
him the Stales claimed; Pennsyl-
All the States choose by Gene
ral Ticket, except South Carolina,
which chooses by the Legislature.
State Elections. In Alabama,
the Republicans have the ascen
dancy, and on joint ballot, it is
said, will have a majority of 10
in the Legislature.
In Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois,
and Indiana, the Republicans have
the ascendancy by decided majorities.
In Kentucky the Whigs suc
ceeded, but by a diminished ma
jority.
New Cotton. From the Au
gusta and Charleston papers we
learn that the new crop of cotton
begins to come into those mar
kets. In the latter, the first bale
of Uplands sold at 211 cents, and
the first of Sea Island at 30 cents.
Rail Road Aleeting. Dele
gates from the several counties of
the Stale, interested in the subject
of the Western Rail Road, a in
vited to attend a meeting to be
held in Salisbury on the 10th of
October next, to assist the citizens
of Rowan county in their delibe
rations. The West is aroused.
This invitation has been respond
ed to by several counties. Meet
ings have been called, and strong
delegations appointed. No part
of the State is more deeply inter
ested in the determination of this
meeting, tlrfin the counties bor
dering on the Cape Fear, and the
line of the Wilmington and Ra
leigh Rail Road. The result
will decide the question, whether
the productive labor of the richest
portion of the State shall be bro'i
to a market within her own bor
ders, or carried oil" to benefit and
enrich an adjoining State. Our
Western brethren are patriotic,
and wish to act advisedly; they
are disposed to consider the sub
ject in all its bearings; they de
sire information, that they may
come to a safe and intelligent
conclusion. To attain this desi
rable end, thev have extended

six years have rolled away since
the body of your beloved Wash

but interest, to contribute their
aid and counsel. For this pur
pose, it is all important that pre
paration should be made, informa
tion collected, and measures adop
ted, to insure the attendance of a
strong and intelligent delegation,
ready and capable of exhibiting
and explaining the advantages of
this place, as a market for the sale
of produce, the purchase of groce
ries, and its great superiority over
all others in the State, as a port
of exportation. The practicabili
ty and facility of forming a junc
tion with the W ilmington Road,
in case the River should not prove
a constant and certain channel for
the transportation of goods and
produce, should be enforced.
This connection will not only

But no memorial of your grati

The stranger and sojourner in
your country has still to ask,
where is the national monument,
sacred to the memory of your
illustrious Washington, and dedi

Where shall I look for the evi

under Providence, made them
what they are? Alas! as a Na

be found.
Americans! Let not this gener

to the world that the memory of
your beloved Chief is still held in
veneration, and his great virtues
and services still cherished in your
hearts; that the cold neglect, so
long evinced, shall no longer dis
grace the character of your coun

patriotism and feeling which be

Great Report, Escape of San
ta Anna. A letter has been re
ceived in this city from good au
thority, brought by a passenger,
in "advance of the mail," from
Nacogdoches, which contains the
following Postscript:
"Gen. Urrea, with a force of
14,000 slrong, is within sixty five
miles of Nacogdoches. SANTA
ANNA HAS ESCAPED. A

Notwithstanding the responsi
bility of the channel through
which this report comes, we must
think there is a great mistake
about ihe matter. The existence
of such a body of troops at the
point stated, is all but impossible.
