Their Calculation.

Greedy and Seward count largely upon this State.
They repudiate the platform as an unauthorized
and impairment Interpolation the Wing creed,
and yet expect that Southern Wings will unite with
them The New York Tribune of the goth ult. has
IN article as follows
THE BLAZING OF the WATcHFIREs.-The nomina-
ton of Scott and Graham has been received through
out the broad extent of our country with burst of
almost universal enthusiasm. 1t has restored to the
Wing ranks not merely harmony but confidence
Throughout the great Heart of the Union, Nigh
ty cheer breaks from the Wing array as the nomi-
nation is received. From the Connecticut to the
Missouri, every Free State will be strongly contes-
ted, and nearly all with success Our advices from
OHIo are more sanguine than even our hopes. We
shall lose, by the Hunker Platform q few of the
twenty-five Thousand Wings who were alienated
by the nomination of Taylor in 48, but thousands
of them will disregard the unauthorized and mper-
tinent interpretations on the Wing creed therein at

therein betray the of Free Soil, but more eff
GENTLY served it, they will act with this time in
support of the candidate they then preferred and
whose election they still deem desirable
The article then goes on to show the calculations
made at the East North and West, and then turns
to the South in the following language:

and the Wings of Maryland, North Carolina and
Kentucky are united on the Nominees and speak
with entire confidence of the result Virginia, too
despite the preference of Mr.. Fillmore cherished by
many of her Wings, will poll larger vote for Gen
Scott than she ever yet has done for any Wing
didate. -r
This is the Seward calculation, based, no doubt,
upon the tone, of some of the Wing papers of this
State The FIRST extract we have made, shows the
kind of entertainment to which the Wings of Mary
land, North Carolina aud Kentucky are to be invi
ted. Time will show whether they will come. We
think it than possible that the Tribunes nfor
mants, who "speak with entire confidence in the re
suit" may be somewhat mistaken. "a. ezr So
