ABOUT tDe FUtc VI AhtHtuNhy' III ShS a'
place, her People are strongly Wing in
principle; secondly, Gen. Scott is one of
the very men they like to vote tor. Gen.
Harrison and Gen. Taylor carried it by
10000 and $1,000 respectively; Mr.. Clay
never had a majority so large as 10000
There is not Wing paper in the State
that does not 90 heart and soul for Scott;
we can hear of no Wing voter who opposes
him; and Hon. Thomas F. Marshall, who
was an efficient canvasser for Cass in '40,
is now as warmly for Scott. If any States
vote is certain for anybody, Kentucky's
is for Scott.
North Carolina.-We have had several
letters from this State since the nomina-
ton; every one reports it sure for Scott
and Graham by large majority. We
may lose the Governor on local question,
as we barely escaped losing him in '45,
and did lose him in so. Reid, the pre-
sent Opposition Governor, is very popular,
and has an advantage on a side issue.
When Manly was chosen Governor in AS
by only 674 majority, the supporters of
Cass shouted that they would carry the
State yet Gen. Taylor had over 5000
majority. Mr.. Clay's was 3,945. No
intelligent Wing doubts that it will vote
for Scott.
Tennessee This State looks doubtful,
but the Wings say it is not. Only one
Wing paper (Parson Brownlow's) has
bolted. He says the State won't vote for
Scott: but he said it shouldn't and wouldn't
vote for Taylor, who nevertheless carried
it by over 5000. The State is undenably
Wing, and proved it by voting for Clay
against Polk, as we'll as for Harrison and
Tay Tor; and again by choosing a Wing
Governor and Legislature last year. We
consider it probably for Scott.
Michigan, Wisconsin, Io,oa.-Our ad-
vices from these States assure US that the
former two will pretty surely vote for
Scott; the latter is about an even fight.
All these States are deeply interested in
River and Harbor Improvements, and their
Members of Congress fought earnestly for
the bill of last year, which was strangled
by Loco Foco conspiracy. Now, Messrs.
Pierce and King are not merely candidates
of the party which has always furnished
nine-tenths of all the opposition to River
and Harbor bills, but they have been in
Congress, and there uniformly and sweep
iDgly opposed every such bill, including
even those approved by Jackson and Van
Buren,. There can be no rational doubt
that their election would be the death
knell of such Improvements for the next
four years. Changes of prominent Cass
men to Scott are already numerous in Mi
chigan, and the fire is spreading. We con-
fdently believe that majority Of the votes
of these States will be cast for Scott.
Louisiana.-The Wings carried the
State last Fall; and again at Convention
election this Summer. We can hear of no
Flibustiering-certainly none in the Wing
journals. There are great many soldiers
in this State who have served under Scott
and love him. We think it will vote for
him.
CaIifornia.-The actual majority against
the Wings last year was very small-much
less than was returned and published in the
Wing Almanac. That against Reading for
Governor was but 400 to 600. Our letters
written before the Election assure us that
Gen. SCOTS nomination would insure a
Wing victory.
Nt,o-JeTsey.-The heaviest vote ever
polled in this State was that of 1949, when
Gen. Taylor bad over 5000 majority. Who
believes all this has since melted away!
The jersey Wings certainly do not, but
confidently expect to carry it. And they
don't stand in idle expectation-they will
teork for it. We believe they ,ciH carry it.
Our present estimate of the general
state of the case is as follows;
PROBABLY for Scott Doubtful. Probably for Pierce.
