Necessary for nomination log

A few brief notes will explain the principles upon
which the only doubtful points of our classification
are made =
ALABAMA. the principal candidates, the pre-
ference Of this State is clearly for Buchanan; but
her vote on the first ballot may be cast for VIM X.
King, one Of her Senators in Congress.
ARKANSAS The delegates are instructed to vote
Tor buchanan or Douglas; We have given half to
each.
CALIfORNIA.-Ths is an estimate but it accords
with the preference of the delegates generally
derstood
CoNNirrIcUT. delegation is favorable to
Houston but will deem it polite to cast their first
Tor Cas-, in the hope Of taking away with them a
portion Of his disbanded force for Houston.
lNDIANA.-The delegation was instructed to vote
Tor Gen. Lane by the state Convention.
IOwA---ls claimed entire for both Cass and Dou-
glas. We divide the vote.
MAINE.-An the districts have not yet elected,
but we have estimated them and given the votes Of
the side usually in majority in the State to Gen.
Houston, and the Others to Gen. Cass.
MASSACHUSETTS Governor Marcy, who is ma
tive Of this State has many friends there, and the
friends Of the Boston Times in favor of Douglas
and the Boston Post clique for Cass. We have
made liberal allowance in favor of Cass, and
divided the balance Of the votes between the other
two.
are msjority Of the delegation are understood to
be in favor Of General Butler.
MISSOURI The State Convention EXPRESSED
preference for Cass but of the delegates present
secuted the expression We have classed them as
their preferences understood to be-
NEw HAMPsHIRE-The State Convention ex-
pressed preference for General Frank Pierce who
has declined. But the delegates will probably vote
for him until they see the way clear to nomination.
NEW YoRK. We give all the ''hard-shel hunkers''
TO Cas-, except Winfield, of Orange, and Moulton,
of Oneida, who are instructed for Marcy and also
two "soft-shell hunkers,'' Shepard, of this city
and Dske, of Eric, who are instructed for Cas-.
The rest Of the i" soft shell hunkers," with the
barDbuners, and Winfield and Mouton, we give to
Marcy
NEW JkRsEY.--We give the votes of the Stockton
men TO Cas-, because they will probably vote so on
he first ballot
North CAROLINA. The State is decidedly for
Buchanan. But Reid the democratic Governor,
being related to Douglas by marriage, we have al
lowed his district to the latter.
OHIO.-This was the estimate for this State, but
it is understood that Allen will get more and
Cas- fewer votes.
RHODE IsLASD.-Is not over anxious for Cas-,
but we have allowed him her vote.
TESSEssEE-Is uncertain, but we have given her
vote to Cas-, the delegation will be apt to make
such deposition OF it, a standpoint for an observa
ton.
VERMONT We give the votes Of the cold liners"
TO Csss These are gentlemen anxious for Offices;
and they are now dreaming that Cass's nomination
is sure, and their names his slate The other
side 60 for Douglas.
WISCONSIN Two Of the delegates are understood
to be for Gen. Dodge; the rest we allow to Cass.
The other eleven States are sure to vote in solid
column as we have classed them. We have tried to
mark up Cass and Douglas, but we do not know
where TO guess at another vote for either.
We neod hardly say. that the second and subse-
euent ballots will have very different exposure.
