is just about much chance for Scott to carry Iowa
as the rock Of Gibraltar upon his shoulders The complex
ion OF our legislature, we should think, does look
very whiggish We have majority in the house up TO
this time OF 23 in the senate, 81 on joint ballot there
will be majority OF 49, these figures be correct (and

are noi) we shall the coming winter elect democratic
United States senator, besides having already elected
our State officers. 1t is true that Judge Clark not
returned to Congress, and presume il is upon this
fact that all this whig glorfcation is based But they

There is also Pierce and King club here. which meets
