The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1848-11-05

seriously, on the probability Of his Inauguration ON
the 4th of March next; now, his chances are, at
lesst- eoual 10 those of Gen. Cass, and with the
vote Of Pernsylyahia, which every day seems to
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 a little two-boler
ste amboat, with good swell offour feet water in
the channel, let us take a passing review of the
whole field, and see how the opposing partiesare
marshalled- the points where hes their strength
respectively, and the importance OF the vote OF
Pennsylvania. as that of the reserved corps when
is TO decide the fate of the day.
Maine and New Hampshire are pretty gene
rally conceded to Cass. We shall not interpose
an objection to this general opinion vermont
will be good for Taylor, no compromise OF CON
soIdatiop having been effected between the Cass
hunkers and the barnburn NC free sollers, 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 ior 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 1t. Mr.. Mangum has said, that Mr..
Crittenden is to be one of Tavlor's cabinet.
il, we suppose all other competitors will give way,
for Mr. Webster deserves, in the event OF the sue
cess of the wings, to stand the attitude of the
ladies among all men ofchivalry, that is to say, we
suppose,
when Mr.. Webster is in the case,
OF course sill others will give place.
So we suppose-unless the princely merchants OF
Boston make it all square with the distinguished
champion of the North, and Of the fame, the name
and the interests of the North And in saying this
We mean 70 say that such an 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 to help the independent Taylor party IN
the election of their candidate, and ought TO have
cha ftp nf fna ahi mot
in the proceeds OF success.
If, then. the wings are 10 name the advisers OF
Cen Taylor, if elected, and Mr.: Webster wants a
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. Crittenden; 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 Jack.
Mr.. Truman Smith will have to be sent abroad,
perhaps as Envoy Extraordinary and Plenpoten-
tiary to the Pope, tor his successful efforts
blending the Native Protestant, and imported Cath
ole vote of Pennsylvania. Truman has been
true man, and has handled the proviso lik. ma
gcian.
will perhaps admit of doubt. though we think the
free sellers will professionally give the State to
Taylor. New York, good fol Taylor, by a heavy
plurality. If 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, to 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, or to HIM who first OF the two proposed Old
Ton q hIo nH,do
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. good Quaker Oh
served the other Gay, IN speaking to Thomas M L.
Mkennan the head of the Taylor electoral ticket,
as follows I'll cannot vote for man OF war,
Thomas, and shedder of blood, and man who
hodes 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 It with your discretion. Thomas. to do you
as We please !" A gentleman from Westmoreland
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 TO a 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 Taylor; Alabama for Cass; Louisiana,
Taylor. democrats from Louisiana say that that
State Is extremely doubhul) We think not.
Mississippi, 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 for Taylor,
sure that she has sent out some half dozen wing
missionaries to help the cause in other States.
Ohlo 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 Coy. 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 Wentworths 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 bagafeHe.
We know not how either candidate can be
elected without the vote of Pennsylvania, though
latlons and laugh all prophecies to scorn. The
direct personal popula rity 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 appearar ces, parties remain
divided pretty closely upon old party lines, outside
of the free soil region.
We shall strike into Ohio tonight.
