seriously, on the prooabfny OF ME- houeufoson "" |
The 4th Of March next; now, his chances are, al
least, equal to those of Gen. Cass, and with the
vote Of Pennsylvania, which every day seemsto
furnish new proofs Of the likelihood of Its going
for TAYLOR, we consider that the probability De-
comes certainty of his election.
While descending the Ohio in ahttle two-boller
steamboat, with good swell offour feet water in
the channel, let us take a passing review of the
whole field, and see how the opposing partlesa are
marshsed- the points where hes their strength
respectively, and the importance OF the vote OF
Pennsyvsnia, as that OF the reserved corps which
rs TO decide the tate Of the day.
Maine and New Hampshire are pretty gene
rally conceded 10 Cass. We shall not lnterpose
an objection TO this general opinion vermont
will be good for Taylor. no compromise OF con
eoGdation having been effected between the Cass
hunkers and the barnburn ng free soilers, or the
State might have been traded oil TO Van Buren,, as
preferable 10 the Cass men, to seeing ITS sufrages
enrolled among the electoral votes Tor Taylor
Massachusetts good for Taylor Mr.. Webster for
his services, will perhaps be Secretary OF State,
If the chief Of Monterey is elected. Mr.. Critten-
den expects IT. Mr.. Mangum has said, that Mr..
Crittenden is to be one OF Tavlors cabinet
Mr. CLAYTON wants II, but If Mr.. Webster wants
it, we suppose all other competitors will give way,
for Mr. Webster deserves, in the event of the sue
cess of the wings, to stand IN the attitude of the
ladies among all men ofchivalry, that isto say, we
suppose,
Z" When Mr.. Webster is in the
OF course s others will give place
So we suppose-unless the prlncely merchants OF
Boston make it all square with the distinguished
champion of the North, and of the fame, the name
We mean TO say that such arrangement would be
equally honorable to the parties immediately con-
cerned, and satisfactory, no doubt, to the great
wing party at large, which has very generously
come out 10 help the independent Taylor party IN
the election OF their candidate, and ought 10 have
some share IN the organization of the cabinet, and
in the proceeds of success
II, then. the wings are 10 name the advisers OF
Gen. Taylor if elected, and Mr.. Webster wants
place. he can't be denied and the first place, that
is, the place of Mr. Buchanan, Is the only place
for Webster. But that berth is already engaged,
and was engaged before Mr.. Webster failed to
make that speech at Baltimore, which the report
ers of the Herald went over from Washington two
successive evenings to report by telegraph, and
were disappointed. The berth of the Secretary OF
State is engaged by Mr.. Criuenden for, if Mr..
Webster has come ont at last the strongest, Mr.
Crlttenden came out the first, and has been out the
longest IN support OF old Iack.
Mr.. Truman Smith will have to be sent abroad,
perhaps as Envoy Extraordinary and Plenipoten-
uary TO the Pope, tor his successful efforts IN
blending the Native Protestant, and imported Cath
Ole vote of Pennsylvania. Truman has been
gIclan.
Rhode Island, good for Taylor. Connecticut
Will perhaps admit of doubt. though we think the
Tree soilers viii unquestl9naby give the State to
plurality. II the General rs elected, New York
must be attended to- Gov. Van Ness ex-collector,
has been good Taylor man from Ethe battles of
Monterey all the way through He would, perhaps, |
expect the place of Mr.. Lawrence, if he expects
anything; and we see no reason for excluding him
as Taylor man because he was Tyler man.
Watson Webb be Naval Collector; and the Post |
Office to rest between James G.. Bennett and
Horace Greeley, on the same terms as the list Of
letters, to HIM who first of the two proposed Old
lack suitable candidate.
New Jersey, good for Taylor. because we do not
suppose the alleged Quaker DETECTION IN the wing
ranks, on the negro question, will amount TO any
thing.
Pennsylvania, doubtful. A good Quaker OBJ
served the other Gay, IN speaking to Thomas M. T.
M'Kenr an, the head of the Taylor electoral ticket
as follows -"I cannot vote for man OF war,
Thomas, and shedder of blood, and man who
holdes his fellow men in bondage, Thomas; but !
can vote tor thee and thy associates on the whig
ticket; for We are men of peace, Thomas; and
leave II with your discretion, Thomas, to do you
as We pleasew gentleman from Westmorelaud
county testifies to the validity of that statement;
and SO. we suppose, the mass of the Pennsylvania
Quakers and the Quakers generally will vote-for
they have great distrust of the principles OF the
progressive democracy. and know not how soon
they may come. 10 division of property, i al
lowed to go on in the control of the councils of
the country. The Quakers are long-headed
people.
Delaware good for Taylor, and Maryland too.
Virginia, Cass; North Carolina. Taylor South
Carolina, Cass; Georgia will admit of doubt;
Florida, for Tay Tor; Alabama for Cass; Louisiana,
Taylor. democrats from Louisiana say that that
State Is extremely doubtful) We think not.
M lsslsslppi, Cass; Texas and Arkansas for Cass:
Tennessee for Taylor; but the democrats will
fight hard IN Tennessee, if we may believe all the
reports we hear; Kentucky sure tor Taylor, so
sure that she has sent out some half dozen wing
missionaries to help the cause in other States.
Ohio, pretty sure for Cass. CorwIn, the lion OF
the Taylor men in Ohio, is working IN the North,
among the provIso people, while Gov. Letcher
and Gov. Metcalfe, of Kentuckey, are working !
among the Southern Buckeyers for the redemp. |
ton of the State. All the available stump speak
ers OF the three parties are out, with Mr.
Giddings, at the head of the free soilers-John !
Van Buren, having returned TO look after the |
hunkers OF New York.
Indiana, for Cass. Wings think it doubtful IL
linols for Cass. though, in Wentworth district,
Van Buren, will do some little mischief in the
democratic ranks. Missouri, rather likely to go
for Cass.
Mr.. Francis J. Grund, lately returned from a
tour OF Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin, says, that
free soil will not change the result in either of |
those States. We suppose that, even in Wiscon-
SIN, this question Of free soil has dwindled down
to a bdgafeHe.
We know not how either candidate can be
elected without the vote of Pennsylvania, though
IT is possible the result may confound all calcu-
lauons and laugh all prophecies to scorn. The
direct personal popularity of General Taylor has
yet to be tried, for the first time. and no man
knows to what an extent II may operate In his
favor, though, TO all appearances, parties remain
divided pretty closely upon old party lines, outside
of the free soil region.
We shall strike into Ohio TONIGHT.
