OF these States, Mr. Clay will probably gain
New York, and lose Tennessee and Maryland,
which with Louisiana, South Carolina, Mississippi
Florida, Georgia, and Alabama, are confidently set
down by the friends of General Taylor as certain
for the latter. Allowing the democrats to have
passable show, it would seem to be probable that
neither candidate could receive the constitutional
majority of the electoral votes. Under these cir
cumstances, the election would 90 to the House of
Representatives where each State gives one VOTE
and the ma ority of the States elect the President
The political complexion of that body is as follows
DEMoCRATIc.- Maine. Virginia, South Carolina
Alabama Mississippi Louisiana Arkansas, Texas, Ten
nessee, Michigan, Indiana; Illinois. Missoun.-13.
-WHIG.- Vermont, Mass achussets, Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey. Pennsylvania, Delaware Maryland,
North Carolina. Florida. Kentucky, Ohio.-12.
DIvIDED.-Ne Hampshire, Rhode Island. Georgia.
Iowa l!l-4 DoUBTFUL Wisconsin.
Should the election devolve upon that body then
under lis present Constitution it Clear that if nei-
Their party gave way, neither the wing or democra-
tic candidate would be able to obtain majority
Would they make mutual concessions, and unite on
the independent! Such thing might be, and if
the state Of the polls should show that he had OBJ
taineda greater number of,the popular vote than
either of his competitions thing not unlikely, it
might be with great show of propriety. But
could no such patriotic coalition be formed the
House of Representatives would continue to ballot
from day to day, until the end Of the session, when
the Vice President, whether elected by the electoral
colleges chosen by the Senate, would perform the
function of President for the four years of the inter
regnum,
We are, therefore, involved in cloud as to what
will be the issue. Meanwhile the Baltimore and
Philadelphia Conventions will, during the coming
four weeks, show their hands-the Great Independ--
ent Candidate is alreadyin the field-editors are
nbbing their pens, orators are committing to memory
extempore speeches, which they will contrive to be
expectedy called upon to make, the sporting gentry
are calculating the chances and arranging their
BETS and dsinterested patriots are neglectng their
families, their business, and their homes to lay up
a capital of fame and popularity, which will ensure
them some petty appointment as an acknowledge
ment of services rendered, and a remuneration for
time, conscience, and selfrespect destroyed. Stand
ing aloof from the fray-regardng it very much as
the lady did the fight between her husband and the
bear, we intend to do justice to all Sides and be per.
fectly resigned, which ever whips.

PARTICULARS OF THE LOSS OF THE ALERT
The Little Rock Democrat of the 18th ult., says:
We stop the press to announce the loss of the
steamer Alert, on Bentley's bar, about five miles
below Lewisburg, on Wednesday evening last.
We gather the following particulars from of the
passengers who arrived in our city last evening, in
company with several others. As the boat ap-
preached the bar. the engine was stopped for the
purpose of permitting the boat to float through
narrow channel where there was known to be some
dangerous snags. All hands were on the look out,
and every officer at his post but all their caution
proved unavailing, for just when the boat was sup
posed to be clear Of all danger, she ran upon snag
which lay about eighteen inches beneath the sur
face of the water, with such force that every TIM
Der from bow to midships was broken causing her
to sink Instantly, in about thgee feet water. There
were about 1000 sacks of corn under deck, shipped
by Messrs. Strong& Craven, which is of course all
lost The boat. we understand, insured at
Pittsburg and Cincinnati for about 5000. When
the passengers left the wreck, few hours after the
accident, the engines, furniture, etc, were being
removed from the hull.
