qnor law has PLAYED the mischief with This
elerlIon III ruund. and gnl IhIngs badly
mixed up: but IL we slii EN- out carefully
we shall find The Democrats as strong as
ever" unrle Joshua shnnk his head.
Says !. /" Let us see the figures. Here's
the returns from three hundred towns. all
the State except some of the outskirts.
Mr. Hubbard aud ur. Chandler. The two
Democratic candidates for Governor, has
together more than 6liy-eighi thousand
votes. and Mr.. Crosby. The " hig eaudi-
date. has luIlp more than iwen,y.seven
thousand. The Democratic vote is more
Than double The Wing soie. This don't
look as though the Stale was going back
TO Whiggery."
.Thai dent amount 10 noihin Of ALL"
said Uncle Joshua; "a good manv thou
sand of temperance Wings voted for Hub
bard. and good many rum Wings voted
for Chandler; aud wien The legislature
comes 10 meet. Crosby will stand jest as
good chance To be chose Governnr as
any one Of EN-, and better TOO. il the

vembrr. and you may depend IFS drifting
that way, else l'v forgot how 10 cipher.
Jest loS al the Legislature. Last year
in the Senale there Was about FIVE Demo
Gratis 10 one Wing. and now the Wings
have elected FOURTEEN Senators and the
Democrats only SEVEN. leaving nine or
ten no choice. or doubtful. Aud then in
the house il aini much heller. Last year
we had clear majority Of more than
thirty, and now il don't book as though
we should have more than ten majority.
And II The Stale goes for Scott, brlIe,e
the Legislature will go iha, way. too, CO.

!" Bui. may be, Uncle Joshua" J" SAYS :,
!. the Wings havn'l gained so much as YOU
think for. after all. II looks had in The
Legislators, | see, bur il may be all ow.
ling to the rum business, as you say about
the Governor.
No. no. il isn't il,,t," said Uncle
Joshua. with heavy sigh; ayou NAV
depend upon il the Stale has gnt a Wing
ldrift. 4 he Cnngressmen tells The story,
anI there the rum business had noihing
10 do with il. In the lat Congress we
had five Democratic Representatives and
1.-The Wings two. Well. n ~. h1w is il!
In The next Congress this State has six
Representatives, and The Democrats have
made out to elect three and the Wings
three. It's iest an even balance, and a
few more of them foolish hurrahs fpr Gi-
neral Scott will lip the Stale agln u.s."
Well, we must stir round" SAYS /,
IL and Ivy To STOP this hurrah business,
aud may be we can save the State YET. II

we should lose ihis Stale. The na,innis SAFE
for The Democracy. Ynu must remembe
. we have large majority Of The States
! and nigh two third Of the members OF III,
last Congress"
Well" says he. ",hat don, prov,
, whether we shall have two.lhir1s or one
, third in the next Congress. IL the State
90 on as they have begun. il will be pretty
, likely 10 be one third. There's only ihre'
I States that has elecled their Representa-
aves To The nexi Congress YET, and that i

/. Jest look Al EN-. Three years ago the,
