The SENATcaTAL hccouNr.--Tho Banner and
Den0cTat m~se wide difference in their esti
mates. 'fho latter whose estimate is based prin-
@rpally upon pledges and Instructions, has set down
the number Of votes for Maj. BorIand at go. We
place great reliance upon our friend Woodruff 5
estimate, because we know of his extensive cor
respondence throughout: the State, and therefore of
his opportunity to learn the true state of the ac-
count. And our reliance in his statement is fur
thor sustained by knowledge of his caution in
making his estimate. He has left out OF his cal
cuIalion, eig0 votes for Borand, in consequence
Of his not being fully advised of the position Of
lhe members to whom we refer. these members we
know are either pledged instructed to vote for
Maj. Borand, and will guarantee tha. they
stand true to their obligations.
We dsbaovo the Bannor's statement, in fact
know it to be false, because we have posi- iUs in
formation Of 81 votes for BoiIaud n the 4th and
7th circuits alone. In the 4th circuit; if all the
members elect and those Who stand over, are gov
erned by public sentiment as demonstrated in tho
late elections and by Instructions, the acl71e dele
CATION Of ID would for Rorland as wo yet
believe these $40 circuits viii cast 81 votes for
our popular Senator. We know that Maj. Bor
land has friends among the members elect, in 9TH
er circuits, because we have receive letters from
somo assuring us IF that fact. Thorefre, e.
y5rd all don't lh5 8mnsr's accom-: claiming 81
votes for Col. Sewer, is taLse all must be fully
convinced ih1t their proji: ton to his election,
will prove equally as false. but no one suPposcs
that their whole account, is for anything but q
- brag - to influence some weak mens Oers, with
whom hey are tam?erias. We hear i, boldly as
serted blythe friends Of Col. Syyier that this gem
uenan will work up the members - TO sui, him,
when they ge! to Lille Rock. In this they will
find themselves mistaEen--' to be forewaruod is
to be forearmsd." AL understand their insulting
expectations; ami tho momen: that an advance is
made towards them by these oily slick-shinned
gentry at the Rock, they ui.i throw themselves up
on their independence and dignity and repel with
scorn, their arrogant imgeriuenco. For tIey
know wei! enough that the member who will vio-
late his obligation to his constituents. by going
or instructed, and by SO doing help to fas;en upon
the people, man, whom the majority have declar-
against, will stand living monument oftreachery
and inlamy, to be pointed at, as the low trucking,
mercenary creature, that did not possess the intre-
pidiIy and moral nerve TO withstand the attacks of
this corrupt dynasty.
Our estimate is for Borland IS; Sewer 20;
doubtful 3. We believe that when the General
Assembly meets thore will not be 30 members
who will have the nerve to declare themselves for
Sewer; and friend writes rs that if Sewer is a
candidate before the joint houses Of The General
Assembly at its next convention, he will lose
hat.
