world. known as the soul Of truth and honor. His
report was looked for with almost painful ankle
tv If he had said, We can carry Virginia for
Mr.. Clav-I have no doubt Of it." the Conven-
ton would probably have braved all risks, and
mi Mr. Clay ia nomination. Loving and loved
by Mr.. Clay as is most deserved, he would have
said il if he could. But he said in substance
" Mr.. Clay is the decided choice of the Wings Of
v!rginia-they can give her vote to him ii to any
one-tbey will make their best effort If he is the
candidate, and will have strong hopes of success
Beyond him, they have no choice though each OF,
the other candidates is an esteemed son of the
State When asked on what ground they hoped
for success with Mr.. Clay, he pointed to the
Wing and Conservative majority Of Delegates
chosen at the preceding April Election. But
those who had observed that election intimately
were we'll aware that the Wing Delegates were
mainly carried by meagrc majorities IN doubtful
Counties, while the great Loco-Foco strongholds
Rockingham, Shenandoah Page, Halifax
TazeweD &c-had evinced no sign Of change
and that a popular poll at that same Election
would have shown Van Buren, majority ofthou-
sands. The dispassionate observers could not
therefore, feel their own hopes kindled by those of
Mr.. Leigh.
Georgia and Tennessee had sent no Delegates
there. Had they appeared and declared that
those States could be carried for Mr., Clay, he
would have been nominated
Had part of the Ohio and Indiana Delega-
tons said, We can carry our States for Mr.
CLAW we think he would have been nominated
But as it was, while every close calculator knows
that President is never chosen by the People
who does not receive the votes Of at least two of
the four great States, here were the Delegations
from three OF them New ork, Pennsylvania
and Ohio voting that their respective States
could not probably be carried for MIR. Clay and
could be for Gen. Harrison, while the fourth cx-
pressed hope of success with him obviously i'm
plying partiality at least as much as cool convlc-
ton.
We subioin table of the certain and probable
vote for each candidate, made out by member
of the Grand Committee while that Committee
was in session, from the information impaired
by the several Delegations to each other through

but voted with the majority from deep convlc-
