TO N. C. DEMOCRATS.
We say to the democrats of North Carolina and we say it with the highest confidence of the truth of the assertion, that if the vote of the State is not cast for Cass and Butler, it will be because too many democrats shall have neglected to vote.
Looking to the anti-slavery movement in this State, and that its moving spirits are whigs, as the Orange Raton says it learns to be the case, if every democrat will vote, there can hardly be a doubt that the Cass and Butler electoral ticket will succeed.
