The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1852-05-24

A few brief notes will explain the principles up
on which the only doubtful points Of classi6oa-
ton are made:
alabama. of the principal candidates, the pref
erence OF this State is clearly for Buchanan but her
vote on the first ballot may be cast for William X.
King, one OF her Senators in Congress.
Arkansas.-The delegates Instructed to vote
for Buchanan or Douglas; we have given half to
each.
California. This is an estimate, but it acco,ds
with the preference OF the delegates as generally
understood.
Connecticut. delegation ia favorable To-
Houston, but will deem 1t polite to cast their first
for Cass, in the hope Of taking away with them
portion Of his disbandcd force for Houston.
Indana.-The delegation instructed to vote
for General Lane by the State Convention.
IotDa-Is claimed entire for both Cass and Doug
las. We divide the vote.
Mains.--All the districts have not vet elected
but we have estimated them, and given the votes Of
the side usually in majority in the State to GEN.
eral Houston, and the others TO General Cass.
DIassachusstts. Governor Marcy, who ia a ma
tive OF this State has many friends there and tho
friends OF the Boston Times in favor OF Douglas
and the Boston Post clique are for Cass We have
made liberal allowance in favor Of Cass. and d.
vided the balance Of the votes between the other
two.
Mississippi. The friends Of Jefferson Davis, who
are majority of the delegation, understood to
be in favor of General Butler.
MissoWi.-The State Convention expressed o
preference for Cass; but some Of the delegates pres
enS secuted the expression we nave Cla5scd them
as their preferences are understood to be.
Neso HGmpshire.-The State Con vention express.
ed preference for Gen. Franklin Pierce, who has
declined. But the delegates will probably vote for
him until they see the way clear to n nomination.
NeD York.-We give all the "hard- shell hunk
ers' to Cass, except Winfield of Orange. and Moul-
ton Of Oneida, who instructed for Marcy; and
also two 'soft shell hunkers Shepard Of this city,
and Dckie Of Erie, who are instructed for Cass.
The rest OF the "sot shell hunkcrs." with the barn
burners, and Winfield and Moulton, we give To
Marcy.
Netr Jsrssy.-We give the votes of the Stockton
men to Case. because they will probably vote 50 on
the first ballot.
North O0rOina. The State ia decidedly for Ru-
chanan. But Reid, the Democratic Governor, be,
ing related 10 Douglas by marriage, We have al
lowed his district TO the latter.
OhiO.-Ths was the estimate for this State but
II is now understood that Alien will get more and
Cass fewer votes
Rhode Island is not over anxious for Cass, but
we have allowed him her vote.
Iennessee.- Is uncertain, but we have given her
vote to Cass, as the delegation will be apt to make
such disposition Of it stand point for an obser-
walton.
p1ROnt.-We give the votes of The 'sold- Iiners''
to Cass. These nre gentlemen anxious for offices;
and they are now dreaming that Cass's nomination
Is sure, and their names on his slate. The other
side go for Douglas
Wisconsin.--Two of the delegates are under
stood to be for General Dodge; the rest we allow
TO Case.
The other eleven States are sure to vote in solid
column as we have classcd them. We have tried
to mark up Cass and Douglas, but we do not know
where to guess at another vote for either.
We need hardly say that the second and subse-
quent ballots will have very different exposure.
