Transcribed by Mollie Gainey-Stanley LATEST INTELLIGENCE By Telegraph to the New York Daily Times 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.
