VIRGINIA. Who can doubt the mother Of
States and Of Slaiesmen-lhe great expoundel
and defender Of democratic republican prnciplesl
Who can suppose that she can be driven from he,

II. Virginia viii support Mr. Van Buren, by
large majority. The wings may have small ma
jorlly in the Legislature, and they may succeed in
elecling tho aposlate Rives and some other fede-
rast to the U. S. Senate, but this will be all that
they can do The popular vote was against them
in the recent election, i, will be more strongly a.
galnsI them, next fall, because they will then be
deprived of many Of the advantages which they
possess in the Spring elections. There will then
be no double, triple, and quadupe voting by the
same individual. No one will be allowed to vote
but once. The large democratic counties of the
West will come out in their full strength Rock
Ingham aud Shenandoah will together give their
1900 or 1000 majority for the little magician, and
will alone nearly overbaance all the Harrison ma
jorlIcs in the small federal counties Of the east
Virginia gave a majority of G,793 for Van Buren,
IN 1896. We believe the majority for him will
be larger this fall; but as something is claimed
by the opposition on account Of the detection Of
Rives, we will set i down at 5000. That ii will
be that much at least, we have not the shadow Of
doubt.
NORTH CARoLisA will certainly vote for Van
Buren,. There can be no mistake abou, it,
Judge White, much more popular man than
| Harrison in the State, was beaten 4975 votes in
the election of 1886. Mr. Van Buren's majority
will not be less than 900, this fall.
SouTH CAROLINA, votes by her Legislature in
the presidential election The wings concede The
State to Mr. Van Buren, We estimate the popu
Ia' democratic majority at nearly two thirds oflhe
votes, say 10000.
GEORGIA. 10 this State the wings have been
lately making some stroung demonstrations, and

for he had none in the State two years ago, and if
he has made no converts, he will no, get single

who has any regard for his reputation as a candid
well informed man viii hazard the assertion that
Harrison stands any chance in the State-He will
be beaten 5000 votes, or more
Accommodating The result of the last falls
election as test and Mr., Van Buren will carry the
State by 5000 majority but the wings say they
have gained and are gaining every day. This may
probably be the case in the towns, and in some par
ticuar sections Of the country, but it is equally as
probable that their loss will balance their gain
There are many wings who will not vote for lari-
son because they distruSt hm upon the abolition
question, aud condemn him for refusing to avow
openly his principles. There is too much honesty
ana independence in a large portion of the wing
party Of the State TO vote bInd-lold for a
candidate who is afraid TO come out open
y, and answer questions put to him. 1t was but
few weeks ago that we received letter from an in
teligenI gentleman of Yazoo county. in which he
asserts confidently, that large portion of the wings
il that part ofthe State would moi vote lur Harr
son. We think 1t perfectly safe to set down Mr.
Van Buren's majority in the State at 5000. Were
II not for our pocuniary cmbarrassments which the
wings ere artlully and most unjusufaby using as a
handle against the administration, we Should carry
the State by more than 5000 majority
LOUISIANA is thought by some TO be doubtful
but we do not think so. In late election for May.
or, in the city Of New Orleans, the strong hold OF
federalism III the State the wings succeeded hy
very small majority. The State gave Van Buren,
majority OF go over White in 1886; we soc no rea
son to doubt but that she will give him majority of
1000 over Harrison next fall.
Missouri AND ARKANSAS will both vote for Van
Buren-the latter by some 20oO majority, the for
mer by not less than 6000

r KENTUCKY has never given democratic vote
since lS2s. She has, with her distinguished san,
Henry Clay, completely backslded from her polite
cal faith OF 9s. Harrisons majority in the State in
1856, was 5000, We,will admit that this may be
increased to 5000 next fall, though there are many
who think twill be diminished, aud some who doubt
whether Harrison can carry the Stale or not.
