We are approaching the end OF the Presidential
contest. Within four weeks more, the result Will
have been declared and published throughout the
Union The last preceding election has taken
place, it's issue is substantially known, and We
can now clearly as may be seen until the
Electoral ballots are counted out OF the boxes
We propose TO take brei survey OF the field pre-
paTstory to the crownng struggle.
Name seems pretty certain to vote for Csss,
though his party is minority of the People. A
large vote will be polled for Gen Taylor-we
think thousands more than Tor the Wing candi-
dates at the late election--but II the Cass party
draw out all their vote, we apprchend they cannot
be beaten
Nassackasetts will vote for Taylor The indie
pendent Free Soil movement may prevent a
choice by the People but the Legislature will
choose the Taylor Electors, if they not chosen
by the People.
Ner- Hampshire is morally certain for Cass We
think his opponents might, by determined effort,
prevent any choice by the People but, as the
Legislature is strongly Loco Fooo, this would
answer no purpose. Yet there Will be good
contest
Rhode Island is sure for Taylor.
Yermoaf may be lost to Taylor BY a concerted
concentration of all the Cass votes ON the Van
Buren, ticket Arrangements now on foot 10
secure this result, but we think they can hardly
be SO perfected to answer the purpose.
Coanocficw is pretty safe for Taylor, though not
absolutely so. The Free Soil movement is strong
there. but seems TO draw about equally from the
two great parties The Wings must work 10
carry II, aud We think they will.
Nesr York is very sure for Taylor, in spite of all
adverse calculations. Whether Van Buren, or
Cass stand second is doubtful but we think Gen.
rs plurality over the next highest cannot fall
short OF $4,000.
Ner-Jerssy appears to be good for Taylor, but
may yet be lost without thorough organization
and determined effort. Apathy and needless
meas will lose it. Its majority in Presidential
contest has been small ever since lS2s and no
one can positively ssy from which party the more
Van Buren, strength will be substrscted.
PeSHsylsaA'a is aTsylor State to day and with
proper exertion will give Gen T. 1000 70 10000
majority. But il his prominent friends should fall
into the unpstrioilc blunder Of considering the
victory already secure, and thus falling 10 logger
heads over the division OF the spoils, they may
throw it away yet.
Delaware is for Tsylor--no mistake about il.
Maryland can't be induced to vote for ANYBODY
but Taylor. but his friends have good 6cht 10
make for 1t. Mr.. Gays majority in "a was 3,S0S
it can hardly be overcome but may be seriously
reduced if thorough effort is not promptly ne
solved on.
YvgiRia will vote log Cass We have calcals.
tons Of gains here and there Tor Taylor bus they
do not convince Taylor is personally strong in
the Old Dominion, but Loco Focoism is stronger
NORTH Carolina W III pretty surely vote for Taylor,
bat by closer vote than anybody anticipated
prior to last August. A systematic effort by the
Wings of the whole State is necessary.
Soatt Carolina will vote for Csss. All the talk
of its probably or possibly going for Taylor is
mocnshine.
Georgia will be one OF the best tough, States IN
the Union The probability indicated on the face
OF the late return Is that II will GO for Casa. and
though We consider it an extremely doubtful
State, We shall set it down on that side for the
present
Alabama Is for Cass, beyond doubt
Florida is morally certain for TAYLOR. Our re-
turns indicate Wing victory at the late Election,
and Gen. Taylor is stronger than his party in Flor
ida while Gen. Cass is weaker than his
Louisiana has been thoroughly canvssed BY
