The North Carolina Election
Baltimore, Saturday, Aug. 7
The returns of the State election in North Carolina come in very slowly. We transmit
the vote for Governor, so far as received, compared with the election for the same
office two years ago:
1852 1850
Counties Dem Whig Dem Whig
Anson 513 1,088 502 1,013
Brunswick - 48 266 306
Cumberland 1,368 783 1,310 602
Chowan 20 - 223 281
Duplin, 3 precincts 300 - 1,035 226
Halifax - 75 536 485
Moore 643 614 589 671
New-Hanover 800 - 1,187 278
Perquimans - 40 291 317
Pasquotank - 142 217 390
Robeson 760 693 626 262
Sampson 905 509 853 587
Wake 430 - 1,450 979
Total 5,691 4,082 9,379 6,457
The vote is very large, and, thus far, there is a small gain for JOHN KERR, the Whig candidate,
who, it is generally thought, is elected.
A dispatch dated Raleigh, yesterday, says REID gains 125 in four counties in that vicinity.
The Whigs gain two Commoners in Chowan and Perquimans.
Whig Senators are elected in Chowan, Gates, Pasquotank and Perquimans.
In Northampton there is a Whig gain, and in Robeson the Whigs gain a Commoner.
BARRETT, (Dem.,) is elected to the Commons, in Moore County. The vote for Governor in this
County, showed a Whig loss of 111.
A Whig Senator is elected from Perquimans County, and one from Chowan County. Whig
Senators are also supposed to be elected from Camden and Currituck Counties.
In Chowan County a Whig Representative is elected to the House of Commons, and KERR, for
Governor, receives an increased vote.
The present indications are, that the Whigs will have a majority in the Legislature.
LATER….BALTIMORE, Sunday, Aug. 8.
The Washington Union has a dispatch stating that in eighteen Counties in North- Carolina, REID
(Democrat Governor) gains 658. The Whigs gain seven and lose four Commoners. The Senate is
Democratic.
SECOND DISPATCH.
Additional and corrected returns show the following results: - Pasquotank County, KERR 184
majority; Chowan, KERR 21 majority; Halifax, KERR 551, REID 541; Northampton, KERR 524,
REID 586; Hertford, KERR 114 majority; Gates, REID 40 majority; Camden, KERR 375 majority;
Martin, REID 410 majority; Bertie, KERR 107 majority; Washington, REID 50 majority.
The Whigs gain two Commoners in Halifax County. So far we make five Whig gain in the Commons,
which; without further changes, would tie that body.
“REID is almost certainly elected.”
THIRD DISPATCH.
The Whigs gain two Commoners in Johnston, one in Bladen, and lose one in Northampton, and one
is Columbus.
REID is chosen beyond all doubt, and the vote is very large. The Legislature is doubtful. The Whigs
have the best chance for the Commons.
The votes of the following Counties have been received:
Kerr Reid Kerr Reid
New Hanover .. 350 1,342 Columbus….. 198 413
Duplin…….. 190 1,072 Wayne……. 268 1,096
Onslow……. 167 694 Lenoir…….. –maj. 186
Bladen……… 358 631 Brunswick…. 74 maj.
