The primitive Republican. (Columbus, Miss.) 18??-1852, 1851-09-11
Presidential Election.


twenty-five States have elected their del
egation to the next Congress, and these will
have to vote on the choice of President, i'll
the election next year should be carried intoI
the House.
The States having Democratic majority
are Alabama, Arkansas Connecticut, Della
ware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, New
Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
Tennessee and Texas-fourtccn States.
The States which have Wing majority
are Missouri, Vermont, Florida, Michigan,
North Carolina, Massachusetts, six States.
The States in which there is an equal num-
Der of each party are four, VIZ: New York,
New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Ken
lucky. Wisconsin has one Wing, and one
Free Soiler.
The six States which have not yet elected
are California, Georgia, Louisiana, Mary
land, Mississippi and Virginia.
twill be seen that Delaware, New Jersey,
i Connecticut and Tennessee which are uni
formly Wing states at presidential elections,
are in the Democratic list in Congress and
that kentucky and Rhode Island, also Wing
uniformly, are blank votes in Congress.
On the other hand, Missouri and Nlichi-
gan, that always vote for Democratic Presi-
dents, are in the Wing list; and New Hamp-
shire, one of the strongest Democratic States
is blank
We may add Virginia and Mississippi
to the Democratic list, and Georgia too, as
We believe in a majority of the districts all
the candidates are Democrats making sew
enteen States. Louisiana, California and
Maryland are uncertain. We put down
Louisiana uncertain, because of the ,disaFec-
e ton with Mr.. Morse in the Fourth District
: which may defeat his reelection, in which e
r event thedelegation would probably be divi
r ded.
e All these estimates are based upon a stric
] division of parties in Congress, on the ole
i issues. But there are new. questions which
!. are likely teconfound the distinctions as they
: formerly existed, or atleast to change tn
!, relations of men towards parties Soutl
n carolina is Democratic State, overwhelm
Eingly on all former issues, yet it would b
& rash to make any calculations on her vote

I pi, should Quitmanism triumph, might b
a Ireckoned among the uncertain. In fact, tn
e cohesion of both parties not very strong now
y VIII be seriously affected By their respectly
o nominations, especially IN view Of the pos

il questions and the compromise measures
le In the present. aspect of the country 1t seem
