In the last Legislature, it will be recollected,
there was Wing majority Of 22>in the House of
Commons and tie in the Senate In the late
election we have gained thus far two Commoners
in Halifax, one in Orange one in Moore, and one


Senator in Davidson; and we have lost one Sena-


tor in Granville, one in Franklin, one in Stokes,


and one Commoncr in Person Gain in both


branches, five; loss in both branches, four. II


we have elected the Senators in Carteret and Jones'


in Gates and Chowan, and in Craven, and if we


have defeated Messrs. Francis and Mcmillan. we


have carried the Senate by one vote but there is
much doubt about this. We have lost the Senator
in Franklin by divisions among our friends; we


lostthe Senator in Granville by only 8 majority;
we failed to gain the Senators in Orange and


Northampton by four votes in each case; we lost
the Senator in Stokes by the imprudence of the
gentleman nominated for that post and we lost
the Commoner in Person by the personal unpop-
ularity Of our candidate; while in Johnston we
failed to gain Commoner by majority against
us of four votes This very close voting shows
how important it is for our friends in cvery in
stance to turn out and it shows also that we
might have gained where we have lost
