upon the vote OF lbOU. INC FOSt uiuSo ""
the Legislature Election in Florida (1S5o,)
which went barely against US, but omlts
to state that the State went Wing at that
same election on Congress 1.-THE only gene
raj ticket 1.-THE vote being the heaviest
ever thrown in the State, and Mr.. CabelPs
majority AL. So it boasts of Mr.. Pow
ellis $50 majority last year for Governor of
Kentucky, but says nothing of the 1921
votes, mainly Wing, thrown way on Cas-
sius M. Clay, nor of the GAS majority for
John B. Thompson, Wing Lieut.. Governor,
at this same election, nor of the Legislature,
Wing in both branches, chosen at the same
time nor of the still more significant fact
that Powell's vote is not within 10000 of
that cast for Gov. Crittenden (Whig) three
wears before. And as to Connecticut, Sey-
mour's vote and its adjuncts, last April,
prove great deal as to the appetites but
very little as to the principles of the vo-
tiers. Seymour Il Co. carried Hartford by
large majority; yet at the municipal
election, held few days after, the city
went Wing on large vote by decided
majority. Seymour's boosted vote, though
swelled by large sums of money levied on
Wing as we'll as Loco-Foco rumsellers in
this city, was yet LOO short of Clay's
vote in IA, which Gen. SCOTS vote this
Fall will exceed. The nti-Whig tri-
umphs of the last two or three years in
various States were unsubstantial and illu-
sorry. Ne1- York, with Wing Governor
and tied Legislature, is set down by The
Post as certain for Pierce while almost
every State carried against as on any local
Election is counted by it as thereby COM
mited against Scott.
And now for our own view of the
prospect in few of the larger States.
Ntw- YOrk.-Last year, eur adversaries
carried majority of the State Officers then
chosen by THE Post says) an average ma
jority of 1892 in 100000 votes. To do
this, they had the help, 1. of the Anti
Renters, whose State Convention adopted
their whole ticket; 2. of deliberate party
fraud and forgery, in resolving at their
State Convention and pledging their candi-
dates all along the Canals that they would,
if successful, uphold and execute the Canal
Law of 1851, which they have since multi
fed and crushed 3. of the Cotton Union
ticket, which took about two-thrds of its
votes from Wings while supporting half
and-half ticket; and 4. of the various Sill
yer Gray bolts and cuttings up all over the
State, which reduced our vote by hundreds
each in Kings, Albany, Ontario, Monroe,
Yates and other Counties. Now we hear
Of ife-long opponents of the Wing party
all over the State who will vote for Gen.
Scott; while all the Wings who will vote
against him out of the City would not fill
two clam-boats, and in tho City will not
amount to five hundred, who will be bal
anced right here. If this State dent give
Scott over 10000 majority, we will own
that we know nothing about it.
PennSylrania.--In 1847, Pennsylvania
elected an antiWhig Governor by 1876
majority the next year, it went for Taylor
by over $4,000. In 1s47, both branches of
the Legislature went against us; last year,
we lost our Governor by $500, carried the
Senate, and lost the House by a much
smaller majority than in l847. In 1943,
less than one month before Gen. Taylor's
election, we carried our Governor by 297
only and lost our excellent and popular
Canal Commissioner by 1896; and yet,
when the Presidential vote came round,
Gen. Taylor had more votes than Cass and
Van Buren, both. We haven't yet heard
Of a Pennsylvania Wing who din't con-
slider his State sure for Scott by large
majority and we are decidedly of their
opinion. All we have to say to them is,
Friends, don't let your confidence bar ex-
ertion, but circulate the documents Penn
sylvania can't vote against Scott if the
People only know him y
OhiO.-The heaviest vote ever polled
for any man by any party in Ohio was the
Wing vote of 1874 for Henry Clay, when,
in spite of Birney diversion of 5000, the
State went Wing by 5000. In 194s, thou
sands of Wings were alienated by the nom
nation of Taylor, and were induced to
form on the Buffalo Platform and vote for
Van Buren. The split thus effected has
never till now been healed-is not entirely
healed yet. Had no Platform, or less
