THE PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST

l LIZ 1 RILClD AN ILilI AN4N | l..
 In reference to pert assumption, in Van Buren paper of Pittsburg, the Phila delphia American Sentinel a supporter of MT. Van Buren, and veteran in the cause of Democracy, makes the candid admis sion that the result of the Presidential cleo ton lis not altogether free from doubt" ," We quote the precise language of the Sen tinel from which there is room for the in ference, that that candid opponent enter tains something more than doubt, as the success of its candidate, Mir. Van Buren, The Sentinel remarks "the contest will be fierce beyond example and the unparalleled 'exertions that are making by the most dis tinguished men in the union-the result of the elections in the West, as we'll as the intense anxiety with which the citizens generally watch for the returns of the an nual State elections in progress, evihce most clearly, to our minds, that the result of the Presidential contest is not altogether free from doubt"
 On the above we may remark, that as the advocates and supporters of one of the great parties begin to feel doubts" those of the other are likely to feel their conf IuCilSC Slo"ihS IiSliCi ollu iiiSilCI, dS u the result of the contest. This is certainly the case at present And though there had been no admission to that effect it is not in the nature of things, that the American Sentinel, and other candid and sagacious journals on the Administration side should not feel very great "doubt" of the success of their efforts in behalf of Mir Van Buren On the other hand, all the signs tend to con firm the opinions and to strengthen the hopes of the friends of Reform as to the result of the present contest. The exer tions making; the movements and resolves of the people; "the result of the elections | in the South and West above all. the good ness of the cause in which they are engaged and even the "doubts' of the antagonis party-all these things go to impart nev confidence as to the success of the Harris
 oh cause, and to give to its friends and nd yocates the most lively and animatin, convictions of certain triumph. Baltimor Il Patriot.
