PRESIDENTIAL EsTiMATEs.-We see that some
of our democratic and American party cotem-
poraries are beginning to count up the pro-
babie distribution Of the electoral vote Of the
Union at the next Presidential election. Con-
sidering the dislocations, congratulations, flu
sions and divisions going on among all parties
throughout the country all these estimates for
November, 1856, are certainly very absurd.
Nothing could be more silly. 1t would be
more reasonable to give US an estimate of the
day, and the result, and the losses to the va
rious armies engaged, Of the final struggle at
Sebastopol. Some months will yet elapsc-per-
haps whole year-before all the parties to the
contest for 1856 will have taken their positions
in the field. The drift of events is rapidly
hurrying us to a sectional scrub race, in which
case we are just as likely to have halfa-dozen
candidates as two or three The American
party have still the only substantial nucleus
for run around the whole course; but we
must await + least the organization Of the
next Congress before we can make any reli-
able estimates for The Presidency. Everything
yet is at skies and sevens

WOMEN PoLTic ANs.-The liberty party an
nounce that their State convention will meet
on the 18th September at Utica. THE com
mittee solicit the attendance Of the liberty
men and women Of this State to the conven-
tion." So says the call 1t is to be hoped
that the female portion Of the party will re-
spond. In these parts, the proportion Of men
is to that of women as about rs to "a. So that
if the ladies do their duty, and hundred
members Of the liberty party meet in conven-
ton, there should be over forty-ivc ladies. The
latter by judiciously availing themselves Of
the divisions Of opinion which are sure to
prevail among the men, might secure the no.
mination Of an entire female ticket. AS to the
higher Offices, there might be some difficulty in
conciliating their Numbering by ladies with
the constitution but there appears to be no
thing to prevent the election of ladies to COM
missionerships, or indeed to any subordinate
posts. If, therefore, the womens rights wo-
men really mean we'll for their cause, now is
their time 4 blow well struck now, and the
battle Of the petticoats is won.

SANTA ANNA CoMTNG.-Our last accounts
from Mexico tells us that Santa Anna is at
length becoming Disguised with the cares OF
States and there being peace in Mexico, he
is preparing for another exile. This time 1t
seems. he intends to come to the United States,
and we should not be surprised were he to
locate himself among the unpatented nobility
Of the Fifth avenue. The latest rumor from
Washington says that Don Vidal y Ribas,
Santa Annals father in-law, although more than
twenty years younger than His Serene High
ness. has been appointed Minister to the United
States; and that very shortly, with his wife
and her daughter, the beautiful Dolores
wife of Santa Anna, may he accordingly soon
expected here or at Washington. 1t further
appears that all this is but preliminary to the
departure Of Santa Anna himself from his
capital, upon q compromise with the revou-
tionisis. to whom he will leave the govern
ment. Reason why: Ills Serene iIighness has
exhausted his means Of resistance. Ten mil
lians 20 but a short way with him. though we
presume he will take care not to leave Mexico
empty handed. Make room for His Serene
Highness.
