THE PROSPECT BEFORE US.

We are constantly asked Nv our political friends
and not unfiequently by our opponents allow
hourishes Democracy IS the prospect IN
the coming Presidential election !" We have
carefully and imraniay scanned the pol'ticel
hoIzon. We have endeavored, as far Ms
it's possible, to learn the true state Of public
sentiment in The different States, Nrd We viii give
our opinions freely and casd'dy. We viii take
up each State separately, and show what We be-
eve the prospects, in each, promising that the
Information Upon which our calculations are
founded. is derived from papers aud politicians
belonging TO both parties. We will even make
allowance for The extraordinary excrtons Of the
wings. and suppose that they will gam something
by their TippecaDoe clubs, conventions and ralee
shows, cot that we believe that the American PEG.
pie, like Partisan mob, can be imposed upon
and Influenced by unmeanpg party cries, and H..
that there are mol few, especially in the towns
and cities, who can be humbusged aud taken in
b. these means. There are, alsn, We know,
many individuals who cary their principles IN
their pocket and who lhlnk thatqi uhl coIrduce
10 their pirate interests TO unite with The federal
wings in order to bring about rsain the glorious
era Of speculation aud shnpasters, when "the
least designing, and perhaps The most valuable
part, Of the community are prsyed upon by the
more knowing and crafty spectators" For all
this, due allowance will be made. If we were

The above estimate has been drawn up with great
care, and is the result Of close observation OF the
state of public sentiment in the different States
We think, we have made sufficient allowance TO the
wings for their clog cabin and hard cider" excite
ment. We may be too sangune. We base our
calculations upon firm belief in the virtue, inleI-
gence and capacity of the American people for SELF
government, and conviction that they cah never
be induced by any device whatever to vote Tor a
man for the chief magistracy of this great natIon'
who has not the independence to proclaim his prn'
cipes. In this belief and conviction we may be
wrong, and 50, our estimate is also wrong but
not otherwise.

The Maine Boundary. That this i'm
porlan,, and already too long delayed con-
troversy will yet have 10 be settled BY the
cannon's mouth, we have no doubt. H..
act, we never had any other opinion, since
we examined the subject. The U. s.
are bound to secure TO Maine her territory,
and Maine of course, will not at this
late day, yield loot Of her Territory-and
Great Britain dare mol settle the line as
originally msde-she cannot do this and
preserve the Canadas-she must therefore
make show of fight for the Territory,
though in the face OF her own treaty, while
in fact, she is fighting merely TO please
Canada, 10 take from the United States
portion Of her territory as clearly their
own as the land on which is built New
York, Philadelphia or the National Capitol.
England by solemn treaty settled the line
81 boundary, but Canada, not finding il
convenient to yield all the territory on our
side the line, is determined TO take il bv
force, by fighting US, or rebelling against
England if she does not aid in the attempt
Ell robbery. This is the whole concern.
England would gladly get rid of the mat
ter, but she cannot, except BY the loss of
Canada. Well, let our authorities al
Washington meet the crisis--delay is non-
sense. The longer il is left the worse it
will get While the Canadians are endea-
voring TO chop off piece Of Maine anG
add il to their possessions, we in this re-
g:on will slice of piece equally valuable,
along Lake Erie and Detroit river.
