The difference between US and the wings is,
this, ,hey take the agricultural population
"a be fools, and We DO not: and therefore
,hey imagine that Harrison will be elected.
~h,c we expect that he will be siynaIly
beaten.
A fourth reason is. tha, Harrison lives in
a log cabin and drinks hard cider. Asit is
no, true that Harrison lives in a log cabin.
and as neither that nor drinking hard cider
are sufficient, qualifications for the presiden-
cy, we cannot suppose that they will have
much weight With the people.
A fifth reason 10 the military services of
Harrison. The people hnve once decided
that this reason 10 not sufficient; they have
once rejected him in spite Of his military
services. His military reputation was al-
ways little doubtful. to sag the least, and
it is now musty and obsolete. The people
cannot lie wrought up into ft Of entius-
insru about things which took place thirty
years ago; and for which they felt no en-
thusiasm then. Harrison will get no votes
on the score of his military glory. We

elections. The recent state election in
Connecticut it is true, was carried by n
somew hat increased majority for the wings,
but to balance this it should be RENE mhered
that the state of New Hampshire has been
carried by An increased mnjnrny for the
democrats. la the late Virginia election,
the wings claim to have gained; but al
lowing them all chat they claim, the change
IN their favor is not so great in that state,
as the change in our favor shown by the re-
cent town elections in the state Of New
York.-At first, before authentic returns
from all the towns in this state could be re-
ceised, the whig prints published lists in
which an increased ina j"rity of the towns
was set down for the wings. The correct
ed table recently published, shows, that not
only have the wings lost ground, but tha,
the asccndeney in u MINORITY of the towns
has been actually won by the democratic
party, and the accuracy of this si,telnen,
ha, NOT been deAi.d that we have seen.
Thus, even allowing all that the wings
can claim in regard TO our recent state elec.
uors, there is nothing on which they cen
found any reasonable expectation of sue
cess. All that they have gained in one
quarter, they have lost and more than lost
IN another.
The friends of Harrison are brought 10
this al last, tina, they must elect him, if n,
all, by shouting, drinking, singing Tippica-
noe ballads, and walking in processions.-I

chance and as the constitution makes the
choice to depend upon votes, aud makes "a.
allowance for shouting, drinking, and walk
ing IN professions, we do not see how
Harrison is to be elected.
