induces many democrats to believe tina, the wing
will be elected; but when it is considered that
the wings are also divided thu, one Of the wing

that large portion of tho wing party either vote
with the abotlonists or stay n, home, il will be
readily seen that the wings chances are not so
favorable as might be supposed. Yet, unless az
effort is made by the democrats TO poll full
vote, and to induce some of the wavcring wing,
