we have not claimed single State which any I'M

we start out with positive and available capi-
tai of eighty-six electoral votes Fifty-two more
will secure Mr.. Clay's election, and we should
like to see the man that will tell us candidly we
cannot get them Where is Massachusetts, New
York, Ohio Indiana, and Mississippi TO say
nothing of Virginia the ancient mother OF States

carry three of these States, and thus secure the
election Of Harry of the West beyond perad-
venture
And now where are the States our numerous
adversares can claim? Van Buren, will get New
Hampshire certain I; Calhoun is sure of South
Carolina, and Col. Johnson can carry Arkansas
Where can either name another State, with,
perhaps, the exception Of Missouri and Ala
