WHO WILL BE presidents

The Euening Post is exceedingly anx-
ious that the Wings should not try to
elect Gen. Scott. If they will only con-
sent new not to try, there will be a pretty
fair chance of beating him, but if the
Wings should really try, the game of Hun
kerism is manifestly lost one. We beg
leave to assure The Post that its labor is
entirely lost, for the Wings viH try.
The following is the table of estimated
probabilities which, in pursuance of its
Chinese tactics, The Post has prepared
to frighten the Wings out of making an
effort to elect Gen. Scott:

REFRESHING yERDANCY,

Our neighbor of the Phare de New. York,
considering the desertions from the Wings
on account of the nomination of Gen. Scott,
and especially the manifesto of those ia
nous Wings, Messrs. Stephens, Toombs &c
Co., and more especially still the re-
cent Boston Rejection Meeting held by
such pious divines as Rev. Charles w. Dem
ison and Rev. Hubbard Winslow, prollers
to the illustrious General and his party the
following disinteresied advice, the points
OF which we take leave to Italicise:

While the public sense of the ludicrous
laughs at this gratuitous oracle, we will
not suggest to its author that dictate OF
homely prudence, "Speak not too wisely
about things whereof you are Ignorant"
but will briefly, though seriously, state one
or two things for his better information.
And we beg him not to regard what follows
as the mere boast of partisan, bat as a
grave and honest affirmation based on pos
tive and not partial knowledge of the
state of the country and the prospects Of
the canvass.

PIERCE AND KING.
SCOTT AND GRAHAM.
DOUBTFUL.

"A few words of incidental comment
will preface our own statement of the
case:
The Post is Free Soil paper, pro-
Tossing warm attachment to the Anti
Slavery cause. Yet it assumes that all the
States most thoroughly welded to Slavery
will vote for Pierce and King, and that all
those moderate Slave States which have
hitherto been reliably and strongly Wing
in every Presidential contest, are now
doubtful. What makes them doubtful?
The Post hugs itself on the fact that
"all the States but four" went against the
Wigs at the last Elections. As, however.
it comedies tuo Of the States which go
went against US as now for Scott and Ora
ham, 1t plainly admits that these State
Elections are not decisive.
But it does not state the facts. Della.
'cGre was carried against the Wings by a
Temperance ticket, which drew nearly all
Its votes from our side, and so defeated rs.
Nobody believes that the vote, so disas.
trously thrown away will now be lost to
Gen. Scott. Wisconsin elected a Wbir
Governor and Assembly last fall-a clear
gain. Missouri at its last election chose
three Wing Congressman out of five and a
Legislature which elected Wing Sepa-
tor. North Carolina has held an Election
since that of 1850 on which The Post re.
lies, and elected fre Wings to Congress to
three Democrats and Mr.. Clingman. In
all the Districts contested on party

CLAIMS AND SERVICES.

AT the Harrisburg Convention, in Dec.
1889, the name Of WINFIELD Scorr was
first formally presented in connection with
the Presidency. Out of some two hundred
and forty, only sixty votes were cast ia his
favor, but all these were real votes-thev
had Wing Electoral Votes behind them.
Had he been selected as the candidate,
every one of the States which supported
bim in the Convention would have sup
ported him in the Election so that, while
he had fevest Delegates, he was really the
strongest candidate on the face of the Con-
vention's ballot. Still, a majority con-
Guided that Gen. Harrison, having been the
Wing candidate in most of the Free States
in SO and very stragglingly supported,
should now be nominated. Gen. Scott,s
friends cheerfully acquiesced so did Gen
Scott himself. Nobody deemed it peces
say to get up procession or pageant Of
any Kind to soften for him the poignsncv
