The Ner- HAMPSHIRE Patriot IS dong up the
business Of chief undertaken at the Cass funeral
60 far as the Granite state is concerned and
makes desperate effort to elevate its own spirits
as follows:

There is lot more like this the sum OF all be
ing that Gen Cass is ccrtaA OF eighteen OF the thl
ty States. with an equal chance for Ner York;
No,ih Carolino, south Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia
| aud Fortda. Now it is quite in the usual way Tor
saneuine end deeply interested politicians to make
brag claims and wild vauuts with regard to the
final result but the States referred to ia the above
selections are all 10 choose Governors or Members
of Congress, with Legislatures &c Jcfo,e the Pres
idential Eection--some OF them months before
and it strikes us that the Patriot has made ITS
boasts very indiscreetly. suppose for example
that OLio. Vcrmom and Kentucky shall 60 decld-
edlv aga.nst Gen Cass in their several State Elcc
tions while Of Pennsylvania, Iadiaaa and Io'co
not more than one or at most two shall be clearly
mdisputably carried by Gen. Cass's irends-what
will cool calculating readers of the Patriot thence
infer with regard to the Presidential result 1t
the bottom falls GU, in the particulars what is to
| be inferred IN the general
Perhaps we look at all this business about as
coolly as the next man and we don't imagine
| Gen. Cass has any chance at all for the votes OF
Kentucky or Vermont, nor that Col Weller will
be elected in Ohio Pennsylvania, Indiana and
Iowa are ell very doubtful States they may finally
go this way or that by large maiorites but he
who talks yet OF 10000 in Pennsy vanIa 1900 IN
Indiana, and l,5OO scaps' in Iowa only proves
himself a very unreliable calculator and uninspired
prophet-As to Nee York, North Carolina, Ten
ac,sel and Florida, they are just as likely TO vote
for Cass as New Hampshire is to support Taylor
SO the Patriot can easily reckon the chances IN
each. We mean to keep our readers thoroughly
advised through this campaign and if the progress
of events shall develop anything favorable to Gen.
Casss election we shall state it Just frankly as
if he were not in our judgment the least worthy
and most dangerous Of all the competitors for the
Presidency. At present, his chance appears to
be very poor and growing no better. But the Elec.
ton is yet some months ahead, and great changes
NAV occur in the interim. Those who keep their
eyes open will be more likely to see than the other
| sort
