PREsrDENriAL ELEcTIoN-REsULT RENDERED
CERrAIN.--We copy the following calculation
from the Louisville Journal of Saturday. Il
will be seen that Mr.. Prentice puts down In

who will vote for Taylor, are not noisy ii is
true, but they are alive to the importance OF
the contest, and will to a man be found at the
ballot box on the day of election. But to the
