THE ELECTION. Our Election came off very quietly on Thursday last and the Democracy, true to their principles, have won great laurels in the political field. The vote as will ap pear.below, is smaller than that given last summer in the contest between Messrs. Stanly and Arrington. In the great Pre. sidential battle to be fought in November next, we shall give a better account of our selves. Giaham gets more votes in the county than Mr. Clay can command. ELECTION RETURNS.

Dear Sir: You have probably heard of the discontinuance of the "Republican," of this town. If not, 1 now inform you of the fact; and I do so with profound regret, for I believe the permanency of a well conducted Democratic paper in this District highly necessary. Our organ of communi cation having ceased, I have thought it would not be out of the way to drop you a line on the subject of our party and pros pects in this section of North Carolina. 1 regret to say a lukewarmness has hereto fore pervaded our ranks, and without a cause. But although we have been inac tive for some time back, I have strong hopes of a better state of things in future. Our worthy Electoral candidate, Henry IrVin Toole, Esq'r a man whom the Democracy of old Beaufort glory in ad dressed a respectable audience at the Court House in this town on Friday evening last, 12th instant. He spoke for about two hours and a half. This speech was one of the best 1 ever heard fall from his lips. He dwelt on the Bank, Tariff, and the va rious questions which divide the two great parties of the Union, and was most happy in his remarks on the Bank and Tariff questions. He proved, from Mr. Clay's own speeches, the dangers to be apprehen ded from the establishment of a Bank. He proved also, from the same source, that Ac, Henry Clay, the Whig candi for the Presidency, was actually in favor of the identical thing the whigs accuse the democratic party of trying to bring about 1 mean DIRECT TAXATION! It is folly for me to attempt to give you a sketch of his remarks: to aim at such a thing, would only be doing our candidate injus tice. His remarks were deep, sound, chaste, and pointed. His audience were highly pleased 1 mean the democratic portion; and you know it is a hard matter for a man of honor, truth, and sagacity, to gain much applause from a bitter opponent. He annealed to the democracy to rouse themselves throw off their apathy-buckle on their armor, and prepare for battle. Our country calls us to the tescue. This powerful appeal, coming from a great mind, I discover has alread had ef tec?. Our party seems to be enlivened. Some animation teems to pervade . our ranks, and the ball will keep rolling and growing, It cannot diminish impossible. We have a glorious cause to uphold us. We have a strong ticket pure and unde fined candidates for President, and Vice President, and a powerful debater and true and cood man for Elector. We love anu admire the man for the service he has heretofore rendered the republican cuase. He has always been found ready and willing to act in any capacity in which his time, money, and health, tornis pany, when he had no hope of gaining a victory all, merely for the purpose of keeping us together. The people ot Heautort owe him much, and are determined to rally around htm in November next. They will nrptent a holcL unbroken front, for Polk and Dallas. With such candidates, we must, we will succeed. On Saturday. Mr. Toole addressed the - j w people of Beaver dam district, in this coun ty; and I hear his speech had a good effect Our cause is onward! Succcess to Polk, Dallas, and Texas!" is on the tongue of ev ery democrat. Success will attend them Kest assured of that." ners, which shone, as every one felt in their appropriate sphere on Saturday.

The leg, however, commenced swelling, and con tinued so to do, notwithstanding medical aid was soon called in, till Saturday, when the lad died. The wound and the subse quent course of the disease and the death of the boy, induced the physicians to pro nounce it a case of a bite by some poison ous snake. Albanian. iFovctfpr. From Mexico.

II is believed, too, that the demand for literary production in this country, especially in the periodical channel, exceeds the supply in a very large proportion, and that new sopplies have only to be presented of the right quality, and in the right way, to en sure a hearty welcome and profitable re ception. No doubt is ascertained of the American nrnd's ability to sustain itself certainly on its own ground, if not abroad against all the competition that the intel lect of other lands can bring to the encoun ter; and full assurance is felt that among the millions of American readers there can be, and is, a cordial welcome for all that American writers can produce of the excel lent and interesting. From these premises it is undoubtingly inferred, that there is abundant room for another Magazine, notwithstanding the merit and success of those already in be ing; that there can be no lack of ability to uu us pages accepiaoiy, wunin the reach of capital and liberal enterprise; and that such a poriodical will not fail to be greeted as a welcome visiter by thousands, who as yet have done little or nothing toward the support and development of American pe riodical literature. Another and strong motive has hfPn ih feeling that New York,, the first citv of uuiuij, nouiu ue me nome oi a periodical owning no superior inhereit merit or suc cess.

In each number there will also be two pages of Music, original, or judiciously selected by a competent professor of the art. Proper regard will be paid to the content issues from the book press; not so much, however, with a view 10 notice all the vol umes that may appear, as to the expression of matured opinions concerning those which shall be deemed worthy of the pub lic attention and confidence. The aim of the editor will be, rather to furnish judi cious criticisms, on which readers and pur chaser may rely for guidance, than to pre sent a mere laudatory chronicle of new publications.
