OUR PROSFECTS. we have no particular pre-
dctiOns to make regarding the issue Of the pending
elections. So far, things go well, and point to @
Wbg victory. Our confidence is strong that Henry
Clay will he next President. In an article upon
the subject the Richmond Wing spenISs as follows
The editor has better chance OF knowing how
things are tending than we do. We give his state-
ments not as our own with the remark that he hns
sometimes foretod coming events with the accuracy,
almost, ofinspiration
"Slr CIay's election by great majority sOs GER
tain as any human event can be which has to take
place. II is n curious thing that any Of good
and practical knowledge should DOUBT at all,
plain proposition. The Locos do not doubt =
Not they. They AFFECT 10 doubt we know, but in
truth they do not doubt The 'sDevis believe and
tremble."
The solicude OF men makes them doubt in case,
in which lift was common case between and D.,
there would be no doubt at all We feel and know,
every Wing feels and knows, that all depends upon
Cny's election; therefore all feel an unconquerable
solictude, and natural tendency to harrassng inqu
ctude and fears.
viii they then allow us TO MAKE THEM EASY?
CLAY is already elected, and by an immense eecto-
ral minority VIRGINIA is for Clay Yes, Vlr-
gnia few weeks will prove it. We will not
give our local proofs We demand to DO 6elievsd,
because heretofore all even our enemies will confess
that we have voluntarily deceived no man
Virginia and New York safe for Henry Clay
We stake our editorial reputation upon it 4! Backed
~ them, Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, North
Carolina, Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware, and New
England, Maine and New Hampshire excepted, he
cannot fail of an election by majority equuIed on
ly save by that Of General Harrison, ir by his.
Give all doubt and appr ehonson to the winds -
The day is already decided is there no virtue, no
hrmness, extant? Has Jackson crushed the free
born spirit of the American People?
IEFThere large Wing meeting at Lyme,

E. FAIRBANKS Of this town and j. CoLLAMER Of
Woodstock Some 800 present
PENNSYLVANIA. Skunk majority, as the Of
fetal votes are counted, grows smaller and smaller.
The locos deceived-t the public by their big stories
The official vo:e in all the counties hut IL, and Civ
ing the reported mnjorities in these, brings down
their boosted 10000 majority to $500 So
too in the number of members of Congress and in
The Stnio Legislature they have also cheated In
Congress the delegation stands IL locos, 10 Why's
and Natives, whom the locos say are Wings. The
State Legislature, IIonse, 81 locos, Al Wings and
3 Natives

majority for Governor was 539-for member of Con-
gress. s2s-dffSrence in favor oftbe latter, 2II.-
The same is the case in nearly every district, In the
eleventh district, whsre the Iocos candidates.
The majority of both together, the Whig is FIVE
hundred and forty-nno less than shunk's minority
IN the 18th, Pollock, Wing, for Congress, has $50
or Congress, while Skunk, in the same counties has
l majority of 7i5-showing difference OF sos. The
people voted for Skunk, believing him tariff man
'nt not for Petrkn, Polocks opponent, for the same
eason that they will not for Polk. On he Con-
Iressionoi vote the iocos in minority in The State
n one borough in northern Pennsylvan sixty men
'oted for Skunk, who will, Greeley says, vote for
clay. View not say Pennsylvania will vote for
clay, but state these facts that the reader may draw
lis own conclusions.
