The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1843-12-23

Mr. Tyler PLACED his oppo stion to Blair
and Rives on this ground of wrong and
persec u ton, and on that Of necessity of
union in tie party. We think this ar
gument of the necessity Of Cancellation
pecliarly strong Judging from the recent
elections, the JFhig vote, in all human pro-
liability, will prevail in the following States
al the commng Presidential election, even
with the most strenuous cxertions of the
"ndCd Democratic party TO prevent ii,
viz:
Maine, 9; Massaclrusctt, ~; Rhode
Island, 4 Vermont, e; Delaware, 3;
Mary land, s; North Carolina. ii Georgia
10; KcntusAy, IL; Tennessee, l3; Ohio
%, Electoral votes certain, Ill
The j1emocrlic candidate would, in all
probability, receive the votes Of the States
below
New Hampshire, 6; Virginia, II; Hi
nols, g.; Alabama, 8; Missouri, z; Ark
ansas, 3; Michigan, S; South Carolina, 9
EIecIng certain, So.
The battle ground must then be in the
states of Connecticut, New York, Penn
sylsania, Louisiana. New Jersey, Indiana
and Missssippi-97 electoral votes i'll all.
One bundled aud thirly-eight votes are
necessary TO en- election. The Wings
having one hundred and eleven, have to
struggle for tw enty- electors. The
Democratic candidate having sixty-fve
votes. has TO struggle to Obtain seventy
five votes. This very statement of the
case is sufficient TO cause any Republican
opposed to Mr.. Clay aud his policy, to
feel doubt and alarm as TO the result.
Such Is how ever, the tqcI. and it is unwise
TO attempt to conceal it. To conceal it,
under the idea that a Democratic Presl-
dent is to be made as a matter of course,
as lovers IN novel marry Of course, is
the height of folly, and would result in
certain defeat to the cause. When, in
addition to this fact, we come to lecollect
that in the late election New ork, more
than sufficient TO elect the Wing President
according TO our impression has unques-
ticnably thrown u majority of the popu-
lar rOie against the Democratic party, the
most discreet and decided should have
been at once taken to insure the success
ofhe Republican cause.
This view of the case, however, if it |
struck members at all, did not prevail on
them to alter their course previously de-
tcrmined on. And we have now only to
say again, that the responsibility of VIC
tory or defeat in the next Presidential ,
election is with Observation-Disclosures
The battle ground is then before us all,
according to the Nadisonian and 81
votes from Conneclicu;, New Y ork, Penn
sylvania; Louisiana, New Jersey, Indiana !
and Mississippi, (97.) will elect HENRY
CLAY. lie can then be elected, for he can
carry every one these States. But sup
pose il even doubtful what has Dir Ty-
Ter and his friends to gain, by turning the
scale in favor of Mr.. Van Buren,? Mr..
Tyler is not of course, to be President,
but has he no feelings for friends who |
have stuck 10 him in the hour of danger
and peril Has he no wish 10 be Of that |
party with which he rose, and OH which
lie rosc2 Does he desire to fall between
both, cursed and trampled on by those
whom he in vain courted, and necessarily
neglected by those whom he left =? The ,
questions are worth something at this
