which he gives Jackson SO majority OF Electors

bahilires." He PROCESSES 10 be extremely cam

and canior," who "has kept his eye on the
whole circumference of progressive political e,
ven,s,'' win admit hat he has not "rendered
unto Caesar, (Gsn Jackson) the things (vo,es)
that are not Casar's." His calculations, too;
are based, so lie says, on'swell asceraned and
recorded tacis" These are his very modes, pre-
fatory profes sionS. now let US look little into
his details.
We have nothing to say to his data units he
comes TO the Sa.e Of Illinois: S,me people

Virginia is no, absolutely certain for C9sar-

"wel ascertaned anil recor6ed facts has this
sagacious political Cocker, concluded that lll'-
nois was for Caesar? So tu tot think the mem
bers of Congress from that S,ate--so do not
think the Legislature Of Illinois, which con-
tanned administration maio,i,es. Cook was
evicted i, is true, and Duncan elec,ed-bur from

ns,ratiou, and Duncan himself, is no thorough
Jackson man Pray now Verias, let US have
your swell ascerained and recorded facts, in
relation 10 the vote Of Illinois. These are "kit-

to your arithmetic without seeing YOUR record

dams We cannot GIVE unto Cesar, the things
that are not Cesar's.
The Lancaster Arithmetcan has also put
down Missouri to Cesar. Where are the ""ell
aacertained and recorded facts" 10 justify this
disposition Of the vote Of Missouri! Scott was
turned out we admit; but Bates, firm and
high minded supporter OF The Administration,
was elected in his stead. What does this prove
bat that the Jackson men had no man whom
| thry could elect? Shall we be told that Ben
ION was re elected TO The Senate! GRANTED
but that was done by the legislature and not
by the people. Bates, the sole r. spresentatl'e
| Of Missouri, thinks that the Administration

we credit, in the absence of"well ascerlalncd
and recorded facts" Mr.. Bates who represents
Missouri, or our Northern Neck sase who tor
aught We know, wa, never beyond the Confines
