The On1om's Logic--A Runor Regarding II
Thinkers and Barnbwners - The Pyesidemt,S
Election, &c.
Every one here Is In quandary about the cleo
Tons, and each day appears to increase the fog
Rumors Of all kinds continue to be circulated.
First, Johnston is elected then Longstreth
again. the wings have gained the day by three or
lopi Lu, drtd the next despatch reduces it to less
than hundred and lastly, we learn that Long
sireth is elected by majority OF one or and
half. You meet whg and ask him how the cleo
ton has gone? "Oh," he replies, Johnston has 1t
alsrge ma, that is-yes, are pretty certsin-ohy
there can be doubt Of 1t ~ so with the democrats
they are certain Longtreth Is elected-thst Is say

they would have In the end to laugh at the wrong side
OF their mouths In the mean WHILE the venerable
scribber Of the Union Is consonS his readers With
the philosophical and logical deduction that even II
Pennsylvania has elected whig Governor the Of
democratic Canal Commissioner having been vcto-
rous proves that General Taylor has chance In the
old keystone State-whilst nirab,Ie dicfu Ohio hav-
ing elected Che sayS Democratic Governor OF WITH
standing that the wings have majority in the legisIa
ture proves that Ohio will go for Cass and Butler.
An opinion prevails here that the hunkers Of New
York will be advised by their leaders to Vaa
Buren, at the coming election to prevent General
hunkers too much embttered against their quon-
dunn friends to follow such advice, although 1t would
be unquestionaby the proper policy Its effect
would be- to throw the election into Congress, and
General Cass 1t Is believed would, in that case b.
elected On the other hand. 1t is said, that IL The
hu mixers adopt this course, large proportion Of the
barnburners will checkmate 1t by voting for General
Taylor, as they prefer him to Cass.
There s however, aspect of the case, supposin
that the election is thrown into the House, which
have not stated. There three States at ths
prese mt time tied to representation. any of those
StatesGeorga, for instanoe-sh0ud elect electors In
favor of General Taylor 1t Is than probable, "
the election Is given to the House. that at least
one of the democratic members would also cast hio
vote that way, and he would be perfectly justified In
doing by precedent and arguing that hs only
ried out the expressed wish Of his State demon
strated by the electoral vote This therefore, b
taken into consideration In any calculation regarding
the acton.of the House, and It will be found to
Cass's chances somewhat less certain We do not,
however, believe that such emergency will arise,
Cass will not get, at the most, more than two
small States The contest will be between Cass and
Taylor and things look now It would be unsafe to
bet farthing rushlight on the result.
The wings Of the district, in connection with thetr
brethren Of Alexandria, are to have toroh-light
meeting at the latter place this evening The demo-
Gratis have announced grand rally" for ton
night when g some important matters to DO dis-
closed We WILL possibly, be better enabled, aftss
hearing these important disclosures" to state whs
will be the tenant of the white mansion, overlooking
the beautiful Potomac, for the next four years.
