THE APPROACHING ELECTION.

This being the last number can issue previous to
the occurrence Of the State election, we have a few
sentiments Ia offer the Wing on the subject and
ii is 10 be hoped they will consider them in the proper
spirit and take the most efecual course to ensure the
triumph Of tho true democracy Of the State
Waving all disparaging reflections upon the conduct
Of the late State Convention should be our policy to
take matters as they cfis unfortunate though they be-
and endeavor to apply the remedy At the time those
nominations were made, expressed our belief that
large portion Of the Wings would refuse to sustain
them, and subsequent developments have by no means
had tendency 10 relieve lessen these fears and
unless the "sober second thought" Of the dsaTected
portion Of the Wings remedy the difficulty we think
strong probability exists that the opposition will cleo,
their candidates
Suppose we take the vote oflas wear, and from that
make speculative estimate Of the probable results OF
this years canvass Stated IN round numbers the
whole vote last year was 47OOO-of Which tie Wings
Polled 10000 and the opposition $1,000, leaving the
Wings majority Of 10000. There are now three can
ddaIes IN the field, and fourth, not in nomination,
will probably receive some votes. Allowing that
the loco candidate should no greater vote in
proportion 10 the vote OF the State than was last year
given hm,a and calculate three hhhs Of tho Wing votes
to be restrained from the balloboX II7iOo-then sup
pose tina, for the regularly nominated abolition candid
the probable number Of 1000 votes should he cast,
and for not in nomination 1000, and for scattering
some hundred. Gay 50e This result would give Tic
locos plurality OF 10 hundred votes over al
other candidates, consequently elect their Candidate.
Now We ask II there is any ab.uriiiy 90 this calcu
