THE NEXT PRESIDENCY.

The time appointed for the meeting Of the
National Wing Convention, at Philadelphia,
(the eth of June) is so near at hand, that to
indulge any speculations on this subject, might
appear to be somewhat idle and needless. We
deem it proper, however, to lay before our
readers some facts respecting the present indi-
cations, in different sections Of the country
1t is well known that two candidates have, so
far, almost entirely engrossed the attention OF
the press, and that such papers especially as
aspire to lead in the matter, have very gener-
ally ranged themselves under the banner of
either Clay or Taylor. Some slight demon
STATIONS have, to be sure, been made in favor
of other public men. In Boston, Daniel Web
ster has of course some strong partizans. Out
of Massachusetts,, he will not probably receive
half Ia dozen votes for the candidateship.
Judge Mclean has also been named, in this
connection, but no very strong current has
been put in motion in his favor. Indeed, III
hardly probable that his name will be serious
ly considered by the Convention at all. Cor
win has a few friends, in his own state, who
will, perhaps, give him their votes, as the
Presidential nominee-but lie cannot, very
likely, command any considerable support
even from Ohio. OfaIl the names least talk
ell Owe are inclined to believe that Of General
s-1 90 be the one altogether likely to receive
,ae largest yote-and we feel strongly assured
that the nomination will be given either to
CLAY, Scott, or Taylor.
The latter candidate has little strength at
the North. In New England, there has never
been any popular feeling in his favor AT the
South, he is daily losing ground, as WING
candidate On the other hand, several of the
more important states of the Union have sPo-
ken quite decidedly in favor Of Clay. He
will be strongly supported by New York, Ohio,
Maryland, Kentucky, Maine, Connecticut,
and Vermont with at least an even chance
in Tennessee, North Carolina, New jersey,
Alabama, and Pennsylvania. We believe
there is not single state that can now be re-
garded as at all certain to give a large major
ity for TAYLOR as candidate. Even in his own
state (Which has but six votes) one delegate
has openly declared himself for Clay.-We
subjoin table of the number of electoral
votes (and, of course, delegates to which each
state is entitled-and their political complex
ion, at the last Presidential election.

indignantly, struggling to free herself. Is
Mr.. Va thafe of a mayer, ma am ?
But even Kitty's eyes, as soon as they took
the pains to look more closely, saw that it
was, indeed all as the mistress had said
W-had fallen over on his face, and his
head and white neck were not to be mistaken
for those of negro.
The pole dropped from Kitty's hands, and

She turned and shot from the room with as
good will as she had entered it.
The blow which W-had received was
severe one, breaking through the flesh, and
bruising and lacerating his ear badly. He
recovered, very soon, however, and as he
arose up, caught sight of himself, in look
ing-glass that hung opposite. We may be
sure that it took all parties in this exciting,
and almost tragical affair, some time to under
stand exactly what was the matter. W-'s
recollection of the loud merriment that had
driven him from the "Black Horse" on the
previous night, when it revived, as it did
pretty soon, explained all to him, and get him
to swearing in most unchristian manner.
Poor Kitty was SO frightened at what she
had done that she gathered up her buds .
and fed, instanter, and was never again seen
in that neighborhood.
As for W, he was cured of his noctur-
nal visits to the Black Horse" and lowe OF
whiskey toddy. Some months afterw ards,
he espoused the temperance cause, and I've
heard him tell the tale himself, many time
and laugh heartily at the figure he must have
cut when Kitty commenced beating him for
thafe of nager."
