now ascertained with sufficient certainty,it
will be well to take a short retrospect OF the
results in these states to show what an I'M
pulse they must impart to the Wing cause,
whenever the question Of Van Buren's elec-
tions shall be directly presented to the Peo-
pie for their decision.
KEsrucKY.-The majority in this state for
the Wing candidate for Governor is over
sOOC--and the wing majorities in both branch-
es of the Legislature increased from those of
the last year, and presenting in joint ballot
at least a majority of 26 At the last trial OF
strength in this State for the office of Cover
nor, the Jackson candidate was elected by
over 1000. No one doubts therefore that
Kentucky will give her fifteen electoral votes
in opposition to Van Buren,.
INprANA.-This State has been claimed
with the utmost confidence for the Baltimore
nominee. -Four years ago she gave Gen.
Jackson GOOO majority over Mr. Clay for
Pres sident-she has repeatedly elected Jack
sou Senators to Congress and her delegation
in the U. S. House of Representatives is al.
most unanimously Jacksonian. What is the
result of the late election? The Whig can
ddatc for Governor elected by an overwhelm-
ing vote; large majority of both branches Of
the Legislature decidedly Wing: a Wing
Senator to Congress certain to be elected;
and the point yielded, that her nine electoral
votes, will as certainly DO cast against Mar
tin Van Buren,.
Wings have achieved the greatest triumph of
all. Three weeks ago any amount Of mon
ey might have been taken Of the Jackson
braggers, not only on decided Van Buren,
majority in both branches of the Legislature,
and the reelection Of Gov. Spaight by 5000
votes at least, but more particularly upon the
success of Newland over Graham, which was
| to be achieved by their accounts by majori-
! lty of thousands. What ID the result then Of
all this boasting7 Dudley The Wing cand-
| date for Gov. has prevailed by the identical
majority which was claimed for Spaight!-
!, We have majority in the State Senate and
! probably the control in tho new House Of
Commensurate. Mangum's reelection to
the US. Senate is placed beyond doubt:
| Graham is returned to Congress by l6l4
! MAJORITY, and North Carolina's Electoral
vote of fifteen, like Kcnucky's and Indiana's
sure to be cast for whig candidn.c.
N Members of the State legisla-
ture were alone elected in this State. Last
year the party friendly to Van Buren, had u
decided prepondorancc. 1t is now ascertain
ell that the scale is turned in this State also,
and the minority Of the friends Of Judge
II White, on Joint ballot. will at least be ten
This is decisive Of A abama's seven electoral
votes; and secures tho election Of all oppos-
, ton Senator to Congress.
! MlssOURI.--By tho latest return from this
State it appears that Gen. Ashley is not elect
, ed Governor as was expected from the first
) eturns; but that Boggs, the Van Buren, can
) didate has prevailed by majority Of from
/, to 600. Tho Van Buren, Lieut.. Gov. Cannon,
, is chosen by 5000, and Vun Burcn members
of Congress in two vacancies. ii is possible,
therefore, that Missouri may give her four
= electoral votes to the same party, though wo
believe her course will b. piaterially affect
: cd by the results that will take place i'll thu
neighboring states.
:, ILLINOIs.-Two Van Buren, mon re elect
ed to Congress. In the remaining district
, election doubtful. State Legislature nearly
equally divided, giving probably majority
of from two to four on joint ballot, in favor oI
: Van Buren,. We never have counted with
confidence on this State. She has five elec-
toral votes, and these will probably be given
feet her course.
, ARKANsAs.-A few returns have come il
from this state, favorable to tho White can.
didatcs. Nothing, however, can be inferred
from the returns. All the Wing calculations
that we have seen give this state to Van Du
rcn.
So far, therefore, the Wings have entitled
= themselves to reckon from the above elec
70 tons on forty six electoral votes, viz l5 from
IL Kentucky, Is from N. Carolina, 9 from Indi.
y ana, and from Alabama.
The Tories may in the like manner reckon
on II Electoral votes, viz: from Illinois, 4
: from Missouri, and 3 probably from Arkansas
c In addition to the above it may be added
IS that the recent election in Kinds county
l. proves beyond doubt, that Mississippi ais,
= gives her vote to Judge White.
