We have now the exact vole of New

Buchanan 40.1/43, Fremont *8,361, Fill-

for each candidate is larger than our report
from memory, made yealsrUuy, hut that, as
wc Hi vo said, the relative numbers are near
ly correct. The Democratic party being
now divided (in u Stale m which the aup-
porti rs ot /lockinridge have a larger pro-
poru.io ol that psriy than in any other
Northern 8tato I Xcept Pcnn*y I van in,) it o-
aimost certain that the ticket obtaining
36.UOO votes will have a plurality,
therefore, the Breckinridge men can t»u«i*i
only 10 000 D- morratic votes, the throe
Hell Electors whom >hey have adopted
be chosen ; and this does not make any al
lowance for a gain Inmi the Black R.pub
licank by tho conaervaltv® or Union party—
a gain wturh has cerlamly been so con*ld-
crublti ha to force the Republicans last year
to withdraw their own candidate for Gov-
ernor, now a supporter of Hell and Ev
erett.
The Lifted ui ah. Ilcil’s Letter.
Tho Montgomery Confederation says
that it learns ••that as souq sm Col. Wstis
returns from Texas he will lake Iho stump
lur tbe Convtittttiwtlal Union candidates
and it adila :
"The laces of the very lew oppositionists
who SIC now espousing Iho tauso ol die

exceedingly long on the appearance ol this
leiter. Their old leader, and tho mnn tliui

Echols, of Macon county, Ala., which we
copy to-day. It is to tbe atom ptrpurt at
tlm letter to Mr. Watts, but more euiphatn
cally endorses tbs compilation of tbe wri
ter’s votes and speeches, recently mad® up
and published at Nasbvitlo, as his record
and platform. We are very anxious to re
ceive that compilation, and will lose no
tiui® in copy mg it •
The A'ben#, Ala*, llvaht (s Demo
cratic papet) says that the following has
election lor Statu officers takes place in
North Carolina. The candida'cs lor Gov-
ernor are Gov. Lilts and Mr. Pool, both ol
whom have espoused (lie claims ul Breckin
ridge and Lane. This ia rather an anoma
lous state of thtnge, and Mr. Pool'* rela
tions to Breckinridge will doubtless exert
sn influents in the election, snd reduce* it
so tar ss that question is i unearned, to a
choice of individuals. There is little or no
however,ol tho success ol Gov. Ellis.
—Run*
Tho man who asserted that the horse'
wss seventeen feet high, sod cluck to it,
o®erns to b® the exemplar ot Democratic
politicians ia this campaign. We have al
ready twice corrected ibis m «representation
of Mr. Pool’s position, but it still |t* r P®
irsvsl/nf. We have, as we have hereto
fore said, reports of late speeches of Mr.
Pool and Gov. Ellis at several places in
North Carolina, and in ihese report.* Mr.
Pool is represented as advocating the claims
ol Hell and Everett with zeal end ability.
He never has been at all equivocal hut hot
all the time advocated our cause and candi
dates. We bavt never seen in any North
Carolina paper, Whig or Democratic, s
doubt expteesrd as t»* Ins position—all know
him to be lufly committed to Hell snd Ev.
ereit. Uut Gov. Elba has only very recent
ly dtdared hit pr«f«r*nce for Hruckinridge,
and Im has done eo at ao late a stage ol tlm
canvass slid With such qutlilicntioria as to
preclude uny Drtnocrsl.c oppoittion to hiui
on tbs' ground. Every Democratic p-pvr
in the Mtate is supporting him* though some
ol them will d»cl«re lor Douglas as soon as
the Hiate eli sion is over.
