THE PRESIDENCY In THE HOUSE.
The question 10 sometimes asked, whether not,
in the even, OF the election going TO the House, ihir
teen would cast their votes for Mr. Van Buren,
AS things stand at present. MIR. Van Buren cannot
ceive the xoea Of thirteen Staes will appear from
the following table Of the political character Of the
! members: .t.
| In Maine majority Of the memhera oE the House
are in favor Of Mr.. Van Buren, the same is the case
in New-Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island. New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Georgia,
Illinois and lndiana-ll.
In Massachusetts the majority Of the members Of
the House are An.i-Vam Bnren the is the case
| in Vermont, Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee,
| Kentucky and Ohio-ll.
,i-Van Buren, member. Mr.. Claiborne, the Van b.
renis pledged himself in his address people Of
the Stale before the election to give his vote IN the
House Of Representatives 70 the Presidential candid
who should receive the electoral vote. The vote
Of Mississippi will go agains. Mr.. Van Buren,.
Missouri has ALSO one Van Buren, and one Anti Van
Buren, member, both pledged to 60 according to the
popular tote.
Pennsylvania we have set down to Mr.. Van Buren;
but the probability is that the majority Of members
from ,ha, State will follow the course indicated by
the popular will in the vote for the electoral ticket
The members from Indiana and Illinois will probably
be influenced by the same considerations; and the
people Of those States, in the electoral vote will be
Of the other Western and Southwestern States.
Under these considerations, is obviously out Of the
question that Mr. Van Ruren should he elected f the
decision Of the question. as appearances ndi-
cate, should devoive on the members Of the House.
