Can we elect a Wing President

In an article on this subject, last week,
we frankly confessed the prospects Of con-
inung in the ascendant for another Ptesi-
denial term to be anything but favorable,
at first view, to the Wings. We pointed out,
without any attempt ut disguise the disas-
trous results of the recent elections in n
large number oil the states. Nolwithsiand.
ing all unloward circumstances, however,
we expressed the opinion that II Wing Pres
idcnt might be elected next year, aud that
we ought BY no means 10 sit down IN indo-
lencc and despair, yielding without strug-
Gle 10 the adverse wind aud tide. Prudent
anil harmonious counscls, we trust, will yet
prevail and fairly united, rcsoule, aud nc
tive, we firmly believe all muy yet be saved.
AT the hcxi election, there are Unity one

are six or seven states which now have, or
