~ Of the prospects of the Opposition Candidate,
what are they 7 Allow him the votes Of South
carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tenn
.,see altogether not exceeding forty, and he is III
n,ssesson of every thing which he can hope to en-
Nv without contest. Not one vote North of South
Carolina, on the East, and of Tennessee, on the
West. will he be certain of, till it shall be actual
" gven. The whole is controverted ground. IT
he yain Virginia, it will be only by struggle; if
be by struggle, still more violent and doubtful !;
and. if he gain all three, he u.s. yet, not President
KENTUCKY and NEw York still oppose obstacles
10 his success, not hitherto overcome, and which, we
firmly believe, cannot be overcome
In thus surveying the different States, strik-
ur truth is fully established, which it is material to
notice. 1t is this that. The Electors to be
chosen, throughout the whole UNION, in one uniform
mode, whatever that mode might be, the President
would be reelected, not only by such majority as
we think he will now obtain, but by one vastly lar
ger. This, we think, can be made evident and un-
Questionable. If such uniform mode were to be by
General Ticket in every State, he would not. in
that case, lose one vote which is now expected for
h, while the entire suffrage of New York and
Maryland, added to what is already secure, would
nut hun far ahead of all competition. On the other
hand, if that uniform mode were to be by Districts,
in all the States he would be certain OF receiving
many more votes in Virginia, Pennsylvania. and
North Carolina, than he could possibly lose by the
change in all other States; and thus his majority be
greatly increased. This affords the cheering in
ference, that majority of the Electors OF the Uni
ted States are favorable to the present Atlmnstra-
ton, and desire the Presidents reelection. We
believe tits is so and that, If the a0hole country
could be poAed 10 nlorroac he ecoud haze decided
d,li Uast majority.
1t remains only to remind the friends of T HE
CAUSE this is the moment tor spirited and vigor.
Gus action, as we'll as for consistency and frmness.
The great engine played against the administration
is calumny not the ebuiliton Of individuals, not the
occasional extravaganza OF an Irresponsible Press,
but an organized system OF detracton and talsehood.
10 the language of the party, 1.-THE PUBLIC PRESS Is
TO BE BROUGHT 10 BEAR on every man who IS
It's enemy, and whose talent and character are OBJ
stacles to ito success. What they mean is, that
the public press, from Maine to Louisiana, is to de-
nouuce and deiame every such man, aud proclaim
him object OF pubic hatred, or public scoln, IN
utter disregard OF all truth, and with no fault to lay
to his charge, except resistance to their will We
feel the deepest humiliation, not as friends of the
Administration, but as American citiZeus, at the
couhenance given, by thosr from whom better things
were expected, to this atrocous practice OF person
al abuse. We see, with modification and grlei, as
we'll as with something Of irresponsible indignation,
the lowest and most disgusting and defamation on
public and private character, does not turn away
from its authors the liberal stream OF patronage
Ii we may Judge OF the manner IN which power
will be exercised by the means by which it is sought
10 be obtained, there is enough, truly, to alarm
fears, aud call forth all our eXertons America has
ceased to be America-tho country is no longer the
country which have been taught from our era
dies to love with the warmest attachment-lf there

stern rebuke, and punish with Just retrlbuoD, this
amounted cence Of ialsehood, this ierociy OF cal
sunny, which threatens TO plunge society into vlo-
lence, or carry ii back to barbarIsin
Relying on a good cause, let the friends OF the
Administration breast this storm. let them appeal
10 the good and the good feeling OF L HE
PEOPLE. Let them labor to dIspel prejudice, con-
lutte error, and correct misrepresentation, and meet
plan ialsehoods with PLAN dc lals. Let them ex-
ert the PAYERS Of truth aud reason, to convince those
around them OF the Importance Of the present crisis.
Events are on the wing, which will leave conse-
quences Of long duration and strong bearing, Tor
evil or for good, Oh these United States. If our
own opportunities of observation, upon men and
things, have enabled to form any true dgement,
the success of the Opposition candidate would be
irausA. with disastrous consequences to the Govern
Ment and to the country. Convinced, tor ourselves
deeply, that the great question nearly concerns the
puoItc Safety prosperity, and happiness, and resov
cd, Tor gu selves, one and all. TO do our whole duty,
IN exertng our utmost endeavors TO carry Oh the
cause to IA triumphant result, We now commend ii
earnestly to the faithful guardianship OF the real
intnds Of civil liberty; we commend 1t to all whit
value good order and social happiness we commend
to whonsoever feels an interest, for himself, his
children, IN the civil institutions Of his country we
commend 1t, above ALL to the gracious protection o

this nation, amidst all the difficulties which have be
set her path.
