In the twelve pre- cincts already beard from, in Davidson county, he has a majority of 448. ‘ Beventeen precincts in Sumner county also show a gain of 200 for Campbell. In Maury, formerly a democratic county, Campbell “Das gained 276. In Montgomery county, as far as heard from, Camp- Dell's gain is over 160. In Wilson county, in twenty-two precincts, his gain was 140. Partial returns from Wayne county saow a whig lose of five votes. Returns from five counties show « whig gain, on the gubernatorial vote, of 900. William Cullom, whig, has been elected ia the eighth or Nashville district, Davidson, Wilson, Wayne and Montgomery counties Maave all elected the whig candidates for the Legislature. __- Two democrats have been elveted to the Legislature in Sumner county. In ‘the formerly strong democratic Senatorial district edmposed of Morris and Giles, Mr. Osborn, whig, is elected, though not expected. It is a most astonishing | swhig gain. ‘There is also a whig gain in Rover tovu cuuury. ‘These returns indicate a decisive whig victory in the Btate. NORTH CAROLINA.
