W. find the following encouraging ar
ticle in the N. Y. Express of late date:
"The nomination of Mr.. Van Buren,, at
Buffalo is, however, n fortunate event for
the Wing Taylor party; much more fortu-
nate than if Wing had been taken, and
it removes all doubt, if amy ever existed,
of the election of Taylor to the Presiden-
cy. In 1914, the vote Of New York
was =

"Mr. Van Buren, and Mr.. Cass will now
about divide this vote of 237 .555,-Ieav-
ing, say 1894 for Van Buren,, and
liz, 1874 for Cass, thus giving over l0O,-
600 plurality In the State of New York
for Taylor. But granting that Mr.. Van
Buren-an utter impossibi.ity-should
get some 10000 thousand run mad Wings
to vote for him, ye, General Taylor will
have an immense plurality, sweeping all
before him. The divisions of the Loco
foco party, if the Wing columns stand
firm, and as here, in this part ofthe State,
where Mr.. Clay's friends were and are
most numerous and jealous, we have the

tent, however, it must be admitted, which
operate upon New York, are operating
upon Pennsylvania and al New England,
and upon Ohio. If in Pennsylvania any
sort Of a Van Buren, Electoral ticket is
gotten up, every voter for it is a subtrac-
ton from the Democratic party, for no
Wings are Van Buren, men there,-and
therefore just so much off satisfaction of
the majority that the Wings there have to
encounter. Such a ticket is to be got up
at Reading Mt an early period, and We
look upon it as securing to the Wings the
State. New England is Just as impreg-
nable as it ever was. You catch no New
England old. Yankee Wing throwing
away his vote for Van Buren,, or whatev-
er loss there is, it will be at the rate of one
Wing taking with him five Van Buren,
men,. and to that extent breaking up the
Democratic party. In Ohio there has
been much to a%rprehend, but unless we
much mistake the o n and temper ofthat
people, the doubt is settled by the nominn-
ofVan Buren,. Wigs of Ohio wiH
