Fon JAMES X. Polk
46
Very Doubtful,

We confidently expect that some of the
States we have set down as doubtful will 90
for Clay, willie we shall not entirely give
up the last three in the Polk list unless the
Summer Elections at the South result badly.
But for the Texas question, we should stand
an even chance for them all. Maine we
should probably get, but for a law of that
State which makes all the scattering votes
count against a choice, and, if no one has
over half the whole number cast, RENTS the
election to the present Legislature, which is
strongly Loco. tits quite probable, there
fore, tia, it will be carried for Polk BY mi
noritv vote. Virginia will go Wing, if it is
previously ascertained that we are certain
not to need her; but, as we have already
enough in the Wing column to satisfy the
two-thirds rule of the Loco-Focos, we will
not claim her. On the other hand, there is
moi State in the Wing column that we do
not expect TO carry, commencing with those
that the Wings cannot lose and running
steadily down to those which cannot 90
wrong if the proper effort is made to keep
them right, which we doubt not there will be.
We know our opponents profess TO be
confident of success in this State and Penn.
sylvania. but with what reason? Have these
States eucr voted against Protective Tariff
when the question was fairly before them :?
Is it likely that Annexation will help Polk
here ? We cannot believe he has chance
in either State Tribune.
