Lynchburg Virginian. [volume] (Lynchburg [Va.]) 1829-185?, 1848-11-20

Give him Wisconsin, and His vote amounts 10 1877
wanting 10 votes to elect him. Our Augusta bulletin OF
yesterday morning bids us 'beleve Georgia is sae."-
We almost afraid TO indulge such belief But on
That suppnsitun Cass would have rece we'd 37 votes
sill wanting votes 10 elect hi; Whence were these
votes to Gomez We could only draw upon Tennessee,
would have been sufficient the race; or Louisiana
and Florida together would work ont the problem Yet
considering the indications that have reached us from all
these States free to confess it is almost hoping
against hope 10 expect the vote Of Tennessee the
votes Of Florida and Louisiana DeNIovre in The cal
culaon Of chances, would scarcely admit the possibility
OF such combination Of chances in favor; and although
we did give up the ship yet confess the chances
Of saving her appeared uncertain that could
y dare to entertain any sangune hope of success hist
there is life, however, there is hope particularly
scarcely believe that there has been time sufficient
to hear so generally from Tennessee as 10 justify the
triumphant vote of 5000 or 5000 MAJORITY which has
come US by way of Psburg. These were the views
which suggested themselves yesterday; but last night
rpcelveda Geographic despatch from S. Nj. Thompson,
reluctantly giving up the Slate to Taylor and Fillmore.
II this bulletin prove correct and North Carolina and
Georgia both gone, have other way of redeem
ing the fortune Of the day but by the improbable suppos
ton that might carry all the votes Of Tennessee,
louisiana and Florida.
We assume, therefore, for the sake of the argument
as well account Of the weight of the them
selves that Gen. Zachary Taylor has been elected Pre-
SIden OF the United States. In announcing this c0nCl-
sion, cannot Of course, conceal Disappointment
and regret Our friends ia various States have been
mistaken io their calculation They have deceived
u.s. and have deceived others. The Wings owe their
triumph, fact to a secret and effective system Of
ganzltinn which hasdescended to private s domiciary
visits; whilst the democrats, confdng too much in their
strength, have DOT eXered the necessary energy
their efforts. 81 is not be concealed, too that
they had that military ground-swel which carries away
many Of the people. II was supposed that this enthus-
asm much ahated not to excite any serious
fears In addition to these causes there numerous
appliances which have contributed 10 swell the Wing
vote beyond acuailonpecuniary means, the influence
Of banking capitalists and manufacturing monop lists-
But it is unnecessary this time to specify the various
other causes Whch have led to our defeat
But this is not the first time have been dsappCin-
ed and DEFEATED. We well recoec the tornado which
swept in 1910, when Gen. Harrison was elected
Did we fl nch then} Did we alter the monent?-
When Virginia the only considerable State that re-
sisted The storm-when New Y ork abandoned her own
son to his destnydid she surrender her principles? Or
did we! We have been curious enough 10 see in what
spirit then received The blow and must throw
ourselves upon the Indulgence Of readers for publish
ing the following extract.
