The opposition have not only manufactured

elections in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, but
what they term the Wing" candidates for

THE PRosPEcT BEFoR. U.s. Democrats [.
In former papers have called your entlOn 10
the prospect before us in the Presidential cleo
,ion, and have endeavored 10 show The certainty
of the reelection of Mr.. Van Buren,. Since
my last several elections have taken place, but
no que which can be considered fair test OF
the sentiments Of the people in relation to the
presidential candidates. IL is possible that their
votes for Presidential Electors may accord with
their votes given for Governors. members OF
Congress, and of the state legislatures. But e.
ven admitting this, (Which do nOt,) il is not,
therefore, 10 be inferred that Mr.. Van Buren
can possibly be defeated. Let us now calmly
look a, the subject as it now presents ITSELF
Mr.. Van Buren, in 1886, received 40 slccto-
raj votes from fifteen states. Admitting then,
Tor arguments sake, that the votes Of Rhode
Island, Connecticut, North Caroline, Louisiana,
and Michigan, making in all thirty five, should
be lost in the approaching election. yet these
will be overbalanced by the thirty.seven votes
Of South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee,
which will certainly be given in favor Of Van
Buren, making l72 electoral votes.-It is how
ever more than probable that Michigan
and Louisiana will give their votes for Van
Buren, mnking in all $50 votes and majority
of32.
Snch, democrats, is the prospect before us,
and if we exert ourselves rs become men'who
feel that our cause is just and our principles
correct, we shall elect our candidates by tri-
umphant majority. At no period have We. as a
party. stood upon better ground. We have =
candidate whose abilities none can gainsay,
whose public and private character are unim-
psached, whose principles are purely demo.
cratic, whose administration has been marked
with singular ability, prudence and discretion.
As party we are harpily united, having moth
ing to distrac, or divide us. Let US then rally
our strength and keep mp the contest a few
days longer and the victory will crown our ef-
tprs. Onr opponents begin to be disp!ried
The returns from Pennsy lvania are astounding
They have looked TO that state for victory, bu,
behold il as total rout. Democracy has tri-
umphed by a large majority.
