Editor Of tic Globe
perceive that the editors of the federal papers
making tables based upon their lies about The recent
elections show the probability of their dcsalng Mr.
Van Buren, for the Presidency. One editor gives Mr.
Van Buren, II electoral votes out of 2Ol another gives
him % But Duff Green, thinking Il surp"se) these
tabcs' too barcaccd, published i'll the Telegraph OF
yesterday table prepared by himself, Introducing
which. he says: SIN presenting the following estimate, we
do it with The utmost confidence that The result given will
be realized. II is formed upon thorough and irpar!!"
examination Of the Of parties at the present time
This table gives Harrison 100, White o5, Van Buren, a.
and Webster If, electoral votes and puts down tho re-
manning Is, as doubtful.
Now propose TO prove conclusiycly that nobody be-
cvcs these editors; and further that they 10 MT tecre
McmscueS will do with one of their own arguments
wager; and tie best they use, too, for they arc
often sincere when they offer it.
They have claimed all the States where the elections
have recently taken place. they have claimed every
ton Of the Union; and they have claimed majority of
the United States, for their candidates
now ci.i them the following wugcrs, some Of which
they must accept, if they believe any part OF what they
have said
1st | will bet $500 on each of the eight Southern and
Western States. where elections have recently taken
place, namely, Kentucky Indiana, Illinois, Missouri
North Carolina Alabama, L"uIsiana and Arkansas that
Van Burcr receives the electoral vote Of the SlLlr.
Cd. | will bet $3.50 that HARRISON, WHITE and WEB
