eurocrat W. J. YATES, Editor & Propriktok. CHARJLOTTE Tuesday Morning, Nov. 11, 1856. THE RESULT. JAMES BUCHANAN elected PRESIDENT, AID JOHN C BKE( KISRIDGE Vice President. As we confidently expected from the commencement of the campuign, we have the gratification to announce the success of the democracy in the late election. Thai result is cheering to every national man. t certainly b to every democrat, and ou"ht to he so to all men who are for main taining the rights of the States. W are not teP0 to crow over our opponents in the South, especially those who acted "gainst us from honest convic tions. Many of them no douht would have acted with the democratic party had they not heen deceived hy their leaders and presses in regard to the true state of the fight. Wfl warned them, and every demo cratic speaker told them, that the contest was between lluchauan and Fremont that Fillmore was out of the question but their party leaders informed them otherwise and thus deceived them. Fillmore receives the vote of but one State BufehnnUU and Fre mont get the balance. '- annex a list of the States, with the number of electoral votes given to each of the candidates: rok lU C-flANAX.

On Monday night before the election the democracy of this place and vicinity held the last meeting of the campaign. Not withstanding the rain and mud, a large number of the "unterrified" turned oot. Short speeches were delivered by R. P. Waring and Pollock Lee, Esq'rs, the lat ter declaring that he was going to cast his first vote for James Buchauan. The proceedings in the Court House were closed by a speech from Dr. H. M. Pritchard, President of the Democratic Club. He spoke feelingly and eloquently, and was frequently cheered and applauded. The doctor is a leader that any party might bo proud of energetic, persevering und intelligent, he is ever ready for duty, and entirely competent to give a reason for the gqpd faith that is in him. As a reliable poli tician he has few superiors, und none more zealous in the cause of democracy and southern rights. After the speaking in the Court House, a torch-light procession was formed under the direction of Mr John To wnley, chief marshal. There were severul transparen cies with appropriate mottoes. The one heading the procession was surmounted with a pair of buck horns, and encircled by a floral wreath, presented to the club by Miss Amanda E. Shaw. In another column a friend makes duo acknowledgment for this beautiful present. The proces sion moved through the principal streets, and at a reasonable hour adjourned. The party is indebted to Mr To wnley for the display of transparencies. The Mechanic's Brass Band, led by Messrs Marshall Crazier and Ceo. Warren, enlivened the occasion with excellent music, as they did at previous meetings of the party. A resolution was adopted returning thanks to th- Band for their services. MECKLENBURG COUNTY" AGRI CULTURAL FAIR. We again remind the citizens of this county of the Agricultural Fair to be held in Charlotte on the 2Uth and 21st of this month. We hope every man and woman, young and old, in the county, feels some interest in the matter. The citizens of Charlotte ought to feel n deep interest in making the exhibition creditable, for it will be the menus of bringing together in the town a large number of people that would not otherwise assemble) and it is well known that assemblages of any kind benefit a town mote or less. The farmer shjould take an interest in the Fair and do nil he can to improve the science of Agriculture. By meeting cue another from different parts of the county, and conversing togeth er, and seeing the effects of different modes of culture, and learning the manner in which stock has been improved, he will probably be furnished with new ideas and enabled to make improvements before un thoughi of. We earnestly -k our country friends to attend and bring something for exhibition. Briug anything you choose. It is not neces sary to confine your articles to those for which premiums are offered anything will be taken on exhibition, and if it don't win a premium probably .-a dijdouia will be awardod. THE LADIES in the country can send many things to interest the observer and give beauty to the exhibition. We hope to see different kinds of cloth -from the looms of the farm houses, together with bed quilts, counterpanes, yems, A:c, and more than nil, we want to see the ladies themselves. THE LADIES of Charlotte can add much to the occasion by exhibiting needle work, condiments, Sic. All can do some thing to make the show attractive. Till: MECHANICS, of come, wtH dis- play their skill in their several departments, by placing on exhibition some article of home manufacture. The Executive Committee, do doubt, will complete arrangements to make the Fair an interesting one. Come one come all. - - A Southebx Man for the Fusiok Tioxkt. Hon.

BLOODY RIOTS IN BALTIMORE. We copy from the Baltimore Sun of the m n pm luuuwmg atxuuut ui me mors in that city on election ay. It will be seen that the Governor of the State want- ed the military called out to quell the rioters ana ensure safety to peaceable citizens, but the know-nothing Mayor would not consent "It is hardly news to any of our readers that the city was disturbed by the most dis graceful riots during the whole of yester day. In some part or another from the time the polls opened until they closed, dis order and riot prevailed more or less, and fire arms of every description were freely used. It is equally certain that fraudulent voting was practiced almost without re straint and scarcely disguised, while great numbers were deprived of their franchise, either by force and violence at the polls, or intimidation from the reports current of what was going on. The history of the day was a lamentuble commentary upon the assumption of the mayor that he had adopted sufficient measures for the preser vation of the peace. On the contrary, au thority seemed powerless ; disorder soon grew into riot, and riot culminated in blood shed and slaughter. There wus a notori ous insufficiency to do any effective thing for the maintenance of order or for the pro tection of citizt-ns in the exercise of their rights. About nine o'clock in the morning His Excellency Gov. Ligon of the State, ar rived at the City Hall, accompanied by the Secretary of State, Nathaniel Cox, Esq. Ho was received very kindly by the Mayor and a conversation ensued which lasted until near ten o'clock. The Governor stat ed that he had carefully read the corres pondence which had taken place between the Mayor and General Steuart, and be lieved that, considering till the circjm stances, his duty required his coming to Baltimore, and to adopt measures calcula ted to preserve the peace of the city. He was anxious that good order and peaceful ness should reign throughout, and would not shrink from the discharge of the duty devolving upon him. He believed that tee services of the military should be required and considered it best to demand their ser vices. The Mayor replied briefly to his remarks, and stated that be was very sorry that the Governor considered it necessary to leave Annapolis and be present in Baltimore un der such exciting circumstances. As for himself, he had bestowed the most careful consideration upon the subject of anticipat ed lawlessness, and come to the conclusion that the civil force would be amply suffi cient. Under the previous municipal ad ministrations there had always been more or less disturbances on the occasion of tho Presidential elections, and he did not believe it judicious or prudent to attempt to cheek any such disturbances by calling tho mili tary into service. He was confident un der the excited state of the public mind that such n course would prove unwise. Upon leaving the room, the Governor was met by several persons from the 4th, 16th, 19th and 20th wards, who complained on account of being unable to get in their votes. Tiny had gone to these polls, and after several attempts were unsuccessful. The Governor listened calmly to their com plaints., and then referred them to the May or. At the same time parties appeared be fore the Mayor from tid and 8th wards, and rendered similar complaints to all of which the Mayor renliod thut he would either send the High Constable tlmxc or an additional force of policemen. About half past three o'clock word came te the central station that a largo party of men from the eighth ward, armed with muskets -and every description of small aruis, had attacked the seventh ward polls, and that a riot ensued. Twenty-five arm ed policemen were quickly sent to the ! place, "but they found themselves utterly I unable to cope with either party of the j rioters. The men from the seventh ward I rallied, and drove back the assailants to the l!..l-itt. ,. .f Tlmw ivnrn hnvuvnr. in I H ilUl lll'.ll I. ...

In a few minutes the high con stable, deputy high constable and sergeant Tayma-fl repaired to the Belair market, and there took possession of a swivel. They succeeded in unmounting it, but were fired at by a number of men armed with muskets, who were concealed in the market pillars. ('apt. Herring saw one man taking dclibe- i rate aim at him with a musket. Ho rushed i forward and seized him, but he was quick- I ly forced away. Sergeant Tayman run a man as far as the house corner of French and Foundery streets, and there took two loaded muskets from him. In the mean- time tho fight, or battle, as it should be more appropriately styleu, raged witn in- creasing spirit and fury. Aisquith street, between Gay and Holland, Holland street, I Orleans street, and the space near the Be- lair in arket were thc scenes ot carnage and dreadful havoc. Swivels were freely lired. with the usual accompaniment of small arms. A largo number of windows were broken, and bouses otherwise injured, whilst those residing in the neighborhood closed their residences and retired from sight. The riot lasted about one hour. We an nex a list of those wounded, as far as could bo ascertained, under the circumstances, with other particulars. About twelve per sons were conveyed to apothecary estab lishments. Fusion Rayner, of North Carolina, just before the election, wrote a letter to the New York Times, a Fremont aboli- j tion paper, urging the Fremont and Fill mate men to unite. The letter is dated Raleigh. Oct. 25, 1856. It is unnecessary for us to comment on such conduct, unless some know-nothing press chooses to under- take to defend it. The mere mention of j the fact ought to bo sufficient to disgust j t 1 every soutneru man.

Though Woman ia unfitted, by the very s that constitute her greatest charms , IfartW fiotf-ioal aiR or legislative halls, stilt hers is no unimportant part in giving moral tone and elevation to our contests and institutions. The domestic circle is her appropriate theatre of Jfjjtgn 'tis hers to soothe the asperities and angry passions and harmonize the feuds of the sterner sex, with her gentle words and smiles of sym pathy; and if in this she acts well her part, hers will be a kftv throne, a throne iu the hearts of the virtuous, wise and brave.' Amid the fatigues and cares of a rather arduous and protracted canvass, the pre sentation, "by a young lady of Charlotte, to the Democratic Club," of a magriirieent Floral Wreath, awakens feelings akin to the exultant emotions ot 'the wearied travel er on un arid desert, when the longed-for oasis breaks in upon his vi.-ion! Such an offering, embodying the hallowed sentiment of patriotism, from the gentle hands and warm heart of the innocent and beautiful, is dearer, far dearer to our hearts than the applause or triumphant about of thousands! This beautiful tribute to our ummriting, but sincere efforts in a common cause, is worthy the taste, the hand, the heart, and the head that made it. And though the happily mingled beauties that cluster around it, and its rich fragrance may fade, decay and perish, as all that is exquisitely lovely in this cold world is destiued to do, still it will be an amarauthus iu our hearts and memories.
