For this would leave the Fusion one hundred
aud forty>eight, and give the Democracy one hun.
dred and forty eight. Our chance for victory
would then lie IN gaining another State among
all the the remaining Northern States. If it be
rash 10 calculate Indiana, possibilities author
ize to substitute New Hampshire, Iowa, and
Michigan in its place. If we should lose these
States. still our chances for New Jersey and Maine
are not desperate, 10 say nothing OF Connecticut.
1t is plain that the Democracy must carry all
the South together with California and Illinois
to render their success even possible, and thar
their chances of victory depend, after that upon
carrying either Indiana; else the three States
Of New Hampshire, Iowa and Michigan. or else
New Jersey and Connecticut; else Connect
cut and Maine; or else many of the six States
last mentioned will make up the fourteen votes
In short, conceding the whole South, and Illinois
and California to the Democracy, they must car
~ fourteen addition electoral votes out of the
whole array of the other Northern States 10 gain
the day. Pennsylvania alone united TO the South
and California, will ensure the victory.
The table above & iven and the calculations OF
the Examiner which follow it, present tertI field
for reflection and remark, into which we have not
at the present time TO enter. We only invite the
attention OF our readers to them, with the single
remark that, in our judgement, the friends of free
dom-those who are gradually uniting, not for
aggression against the institution of Slavery in
ritory against the spread of the giant evii-those
who are resolved TO bring back the Administra-
ton OF national government to its first principles
if they go into the canvass with an earnest de
termination TO succeed and with feelings OF mu-
tual concession and of Igetuness of past issues
they carry epery STATE which stands in the
larger column, except perhaps, California. And,
as this issue il not properly, and ought not to be-
e sectional one, il not impossible that Delaware
may come over from the other side; for there
are hosts of good and true in that little state
who responded heartily to the noble words Of
Henry Clay, when he exclaimed:
l repeat ii sir never can, and never WILL and
no earthly power will make me vote, directly or
indirectly, to spread slavery over territory where
It does not exist. Never while reason holds her
