There are 900 votes in the electoral COL
lege; l46 is majority and elects. Ac-
cording 10 the above we can take 20 from
the democratic side and still elect Cass
and Butler against both the other tickets.
We have set down New York for Van
Buren,, hut we must confess that there is
about as much chance that it will 90 for
Cass or Taylor. Massachusetts we have
also set down for the Free Soil ticket, not
because we think her popular vote will
certainly be SO cast, but as it takes a ma
jority and not plurality in that State to
elect, the choosing Of electors will in all
probability devolve upon her Legislature,
in which are large number of aboli-
tionists and conscience whigs," who
will never vote for Taylor. Vermont,
though set down in wing column, is some
what similarly situated, and may go the
new tangled abolition ticket. Transpose
Ohio and Delaware in the above lists, and
the democrats would still elect.

Greedy Refuses {, be Whipped i'm.

Greedy of the New York Tribune still
refuses to go the figure in support Of Gen.
Mum for the Presidency. In one of the
last numbers of his paper, he thus retorts
upon one of his whig brethren of the
doughface school, who had read him lee
ture upon opposing Taylor's nominations:
I" 1t ill becomes you or yours to talk to
US Of abandoning Wing principles, and it
would bother you to give any evidence
that Gen. Taylor is hostile either to Free
Trade or the Sub-Treasury-unless to the
effect that DR.. Pangloss told Capt. Holster
that Judge Blarcom had heard somebody
say Gen. Taylor was right as book on
this subject and every other. We don't
place much dependence ON such testi-
mony."
In the same article, which appeared just
before the Free Soil'' convention, which
movement Greedy has done his full share
in advancing, he thus defines his position,
plainly indicative Of his course upon this
subject:
"And we wish to be distinctly under
stood on this point: If Slavery could be
excluded from New Mexico and Caifor-
mia by shirering The Wing party TO atoms,
and thus only, we would not hesitate
but insist on the sacrifice.''

A Rare Joke.

Bennett of the N. Y. Herald is an in
veterate joker, and in no instance has he
proved it t. better advantage than in late
estimate of the probable electoral vote of
the States, extensively copied into the
New York boiling journals formerly pre-
tending to be democratic. In this esti-
mate twenty-nine electoral votes are given
to Gen. Cass Chow clever!) one hundred
and fifty three TO the Free Soil ticket. This
latter item is made up of such wing states
as Rhode Island and Connecticut, with a
small sprimAing Of such certain democrat
ic states as Maine, New Hampshire, Penn
sylvania, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan
and Iowa.
Won't somebody take sour hat?" for
really, we begin to feel alarmed, and, like
the valorous general who was ''a little
lame,' if there is any more room in the
boat just about starting with the Iowa
coons for Salt River, we will start now.
What say our particular friends Bowen
and Coleman of the ''Indiana Clique?-
Can we have passage? If so, as we know
the berths are all taken up, we would pre-
fer place upon the top Of the hurricane
deck, or anywhere else, rather than be put

Below we give merely the maorities
on the State ticket in all the counties in
the State. Although large portion of
following table is unofficial, our friends
may rest assured that the official vote as
it comes in will not materially change our
majority in the State at large, one way or
the other. When canvassed, we will pub

probably be next week or at fartherest the
week after. The counties marked with

Hish-haHlicd Nhig Outrage in
Mahaski.

We stated last week that Mahaska had
gone democratic, the wings barely sue
ceeding in electng their County Clerk
1t now appears that the wing officers OF
that county have done that which the en-
tire wing party Of the county could not do
at the polls, viz; reversed the thing, and
elected the entire wing ticket. This, as
we learn. was done in the following man
ncr: The judges OF two democratic pre-
cincts, although legally sworn on the morn
ing of the election, had neglected to prefix
an affidavit to that effect to the official abb
stract, and although as we understand.
they appeared before the board of canvass
ers and asked the privilege of amending
their returns by prefixing such affidavit.
they were denied the privilege, and the
voters of these two democratic precincts
were DISTINGUISHED by throwing these re-
turns out.
This may be law, or it may not :; one
thing we have to observe about ii; that is,
that if this requisition were strickly lived
up to throughout the State, we verify fear
that one third of the voters would be dis
franchised by it. As Mr.. SMITH, demo-
cratic member elect to the House. is in
tended to be the chief victim of this who
manouvre, the question will be presented
to that body next winter, in deciding up-
on the qualifications of its own members.
In their hands we leave it. In the mean
time we wish the fact noted, that these
croaking wing grumblers, who are always
ready to cry out against any official act
no matter how imperative, when it happens
10 initiate against any of their candidates
are the gerry frst,as in this case, to enforce
The strietest letter of the law, although at
east its spirit had been complied with.
when by such course they happen to
nave the power of defeating the popular
will, through the election Of one of their
own number.

Hold on, there! Wait till you
hear from the MOrmOnS 40

The official returns are coming in slow
~, as usual, but "mis hty sure' increas
ing our majority to about 1850, hey ond the
highest figures we have set for this cleo
ton. Both democratic Congressman are
elected by from 400 to 600 majority each,
being also great increase. The Legis-
lature, from being whig majority two
years ago, and lacking only two of it last
winter, is now democratic in both branches,
with twenty-0ne minority ON
joint ballot! Yet notwithstanding
all this, the wings say (and we believe
them, for surely, "they are honorable
men!') that they expect to be able, some
how or another, to carry their whole State
ticket, elect one Congressman,a land prevent
the election of Z. S. Senators and Judges
|again, by certain Mormon colony of
about 1000 or 5000 voters, supposed to
be located somewhere on the Missouri
river, about 200 miles west of our west
ern frontier, and who are stopping there
for the season con their way to Califor-
nia," and who they say (and we believe
them, for surely, ''they are honorable
men"') } are expected to 60 ''the whole hog
whig" ticket.
In view of this most glorious ''consum-
nation, SO devoutly wished for' by hun
cry and expectant whigery, heretofore so
long and SO unjustly deprived of office by
the people living within the organized
limits of the State, who, it must be con-
fessed, do not sufficiently appreciate the
peculiar mode of wing electioneering-in
view of all these things,we say the wings
hereahouts and elsewhere request of us to
stay orr hands from crouing over the re-
suit of the election until this Mormon vote
can be heard from. Well, we have wait
cd one or two weeks already; but still
they say, "Hold your horses! Wait till
the Mormon vote comes inn Well, we
really do begin to think there is something
terrible behind yet is so long coming.
But we uiN crow some time, and they
might as well let lis go right at it now.
So here go-' But hold your horses -
say the wings, "wait till you hear from the
Mormons.' They say that should they
carry the State ticket. Congressman, and
the State Senate, by the aid Of the Nor
mon vote, then it would be for them to
crow, and not us; and they certainly ex-
pect to thus carry the State, and as Ger
tainly do they expect to be able to crow
over such result; for surely the wings
are g honorable men" and would not crow
over any thing diShonorable!

J. S. BARDWELL,
A. B. DUMONT,
HUBERT SHEDD-.
JOHN c. BERRY,
VIM. Able,
H. w. GRAY.

From respect for the gentlemen whose
names are signed to the above card. we
deem its insertion but an act of courtesy.
Although they do not directly endorse the
standing of the person to whose anti-de-
mocratic conduct we deemed it our duty
to allude last week, still they appear dis
posed to remove that heavy weight of re-
sponsi5ility from the shoulders of this in
divldual, the evil consequences of which
came SO near resulting in whig majority
in the State senate, with its natural con-
sequences upon the election or non cleo
ton Of L. S. Senators and Judges. And
notwithstanding the fact that we have the
fullest confidence in the deservedIy hiph
democratic standing and character of those
gentlemen, with whom we are acquainted,
and duly appreciate their evident desire
to conclliate the personal differences un-
happily existing in d county which we
have heretofore been proud to style ''old
democratic Linn but which is now to be
represented by wings in both branches of
the Legislature; and although "other eau
ses,' as is above stated, undoubtedly had
their influence in producing this state of
things, still our opinions are the same as
heretofore in relation to the agency which
produced Mr.. Durham's defeat. as well
as to the moral turpitude Of the conduct of
the actor who produced it. But the de-
.nocracy Of Linn understand this matter;
with them we feel full confidence in lea
ing it, only deening it necessary TO OBJ
serve in conclusion that while none will be
found more chary than ourselves OF the cha
racter Of individual members of our party,
whether as relates to unnecessarily de-
nouncing them ourselves, or 10 tamely
standing by and allowing members of the
opposition to do so unrebuk ed-still we
consider it one Of our most imperative du-
ties, placed as we are upon the political
watch-tower of our party, to warn its
members against foes within as well as
foes without-in short, and whatever MAY
be the consequences to ourselves, to do
Just as we have done in this case. TO wit:
denounced gentleman whom we have al
ways regarded heretofore as one Of the
very best friends, politically and socially,
that we had in Iowa.
We are fully aware that "other causes"
have operated in Linn county and among
them stands most prominent the under
hand game played by two or three some
what conspicuous individuals laying pre-
tensions to democracy, who, while going
for Nr Durham, were the main causes Of
MIR. Letters defeat in Linn.

RETURNED VoLUNTEERs.-La Last week
while on visit to Cedar county, we had
the pleasure of taking by the hand two
of the Iowa Volunteers, Maj. MckrAs,
and A. r. SArsMAN, Esq, who were on
their way to Linn county, from Mexico.
They were in fine spirits and excellent
health, and appeared to be well pleased
that, after having been engaged in five or
SIX OF the hardest fought battles In Mexi-
co, they were permitted to return to their
homes again unscathed. Friend SAusMAs,
who is an incorporating and inhuen-
tial democrat, was very much chagrined
to think, that after whipping the Mexi-
cans on their own ground, he had failed
in being at home in time to ;.;i in prevent
ing the partial triumph Of their allies in
Linn county.

ry citizen Of this city, and sterling dem

turns from Mexico, we regret to say, in

statement of the strength Of the parties.
