Mr.. Greeley, in recent editorial in the
Tribune, comes to the following conclusions
in regard to the Philadelphia nominee. II
will be seen that he talks plainly upon this
subject, as is his wont on all occasions:
ave must not begin by imagining that
the battle is already won, and that we have
only now to distribute and rightly apportion
'the spoils of victory" We must choose
men who will attract to our ranks voters
who are not already with us, and not repel
any who are. We have to consider, that
of the 296 Electoral Votes, full third will
go against us any how, and that of all that
remains we must carry three-fourths, or be
beaten. Let us take look at the figures:

We find in the Washington correspon-
dence Of the New York Evening Post, an
anecdote, which proves that General Jack
son. who with all his faults, was pretty
good judge of human nature, fully under
stood and appreciated Mr.. Buchanan's char
acter as political trimmer. The writer
saws the truth of the following can be
proved by unquestionable evidence
Con the night before leaving Nashville to
occupy the White House, Mr.. Polk, In COM
pany with General Robert Armstrong, caiied
at the Hermitage to procure some advice
from tho old hero as to the selection OF his
cabinet. jackson strongly urged the Presi-
dant elect to give no place in it to Buchan-
ON DC he could not be relied upon. 1t SO
h.nnened that Polk had already determined
70 make that very appointment, having prob
ohlv offered the situation to the statesman
of PENNSYLVANIA. This fact induced General
Armstrong subsequently to tell jackson
+ at he had given Polk a rather hard rub, as
Buchanan had already been selected lot pee

old man &c felt it my duty to warn hin
against Mr.. Buchanan, whether 1t was
agreeable OF not. MI. YIN " Ia AAA.S~ ~
chanan unreliable. l know him well, and
Mr.. Polk will yet admit the correctness Of
my prediction"
1t was the last visit ever made by Mr.
Polk to the old hero when this unavaillne
remonstrance was delivered, but the new
President, long before the end of his admin
;stration, had reason to acknowledge its pro
priety and justice and in the diary kept BY
him during that period, may still be read
most emphatic declaration of his distrust o
Mr.. Buchanan. Every one is aware OF 1--WE

State, the latter failed to support the polio.

NEBRASKA
ANTI-NEBRASK

"This seems to us as favorable an esti-
mate as existing facts will warrant-far
more so than an opponent could be expected
to concede. We believe there is this day an
anti-Douglas majority in each of the States
we have placed in the anti-Nebraska column,
provided it can be concentrated and called
out; but it VIII not bear division. We shall
then need IS electoral votes from the doubt
ful list-that is to say, we want the votes of
Pennsylvania and Indiana (40) or Pennsyl-
vania and Illinois (38), or those of New Jer-
sey, Indiana, Illinois and California 1857, or
those of Delaware, Indiana, Illinois and Mis-
souri, (36) to elect. If we cannot carry, with
hardly an exception, the States set down in
our first column, we are beaten of course
If we can carry them, we must select candi-
dates who can carry IS out of the doubtful
list. We must nominate with reference to
success in those States, and with a determi-
nation that, if possible, at least half their
Electoral Vote shall be carried. No blind,
vague confidence in the justice and strength
of our cause, no guess that ends will shape
themselves without,the interposition of means,
will answer the purpose. To be beaten now
is probably to lose Kansas, dragging in its
train New Mexico, Utah, and the new State
or States which will be formed west of the
former and south of the latter It is to throw
the residue of decaying, dissolving Mexico
into the folds of the slaveholding anaconda,
to be absorbed and digested at leisure. It
is to commit treason to our cause through a
blind, irrational, idolatrous devotion to it's
champions. To such treason we refuse to
be party. Show us the two fit, deserving
men who are heartily for Free Kansas. who
can probably secure one more electoral vote
than any others, and those men are our can
didates, though their names were never
known to us till this hour"

From the Northwestern Democrat.
Grand Rhinecerial Hunt.


Under the above heading we have received
an anonymous communication so humorous
and laughable in its character, that we give
it place in our columns, Notwithstanding
the rule not to publish anything unless ac-
companied with the writer's real name. The
communication was post-marked st. An
thony. and is as as follows:
Editor of the Norh-Western Democrat:
It is well known to the numerous readers
of the Northwestern Democrat, that there
is a vast region of country lying in the
western part of this country, that has not
until very recently been explored in any
great degree.
Late typographical and spiritual surveys
have clearly demonstrated the fact, that this
vast region is paradise of elephants, rhino-
ceresoses and boa-constrictors also that the
lake con m ,nly known as Mile Lac, is one
vast inland sea, extending to the outskirts
of the North Pole, and swarming with
whales, porpoises and sea horses. Since
these facts have been properly and duly au-
thenticated, several of our enterprizing citi-
zens have projected plan for grand hunt
ing expedition. The company is not as yet
fully Organized, nor the plans fully matured,
but sufficient action has been taken to place
the excursion among the things that are to
be.
The leaders of the enterprise have already
secured the services of the renowned ele-
phant-hunter, Raja Bungo Pish, with two
hundred and eleven native Hiadoos, direct
from the jungles of New York city and
Boston.
The preliminary rendezvous is fixed at
she gas factory in St. Anthony, but the
grand final organization will take place at
the city of St. Cloud, the head of whale
fishing on the Mississippi river. j. G. Bum
combe, ESQ.,, will there develope the pro-
gramme and lead the party on their adye9-
turous path to the wilds and jungles of Min
nesota.
1t is proposed to proceed to Mile Lac
where the company will be Joined by forty
nine thousand experienced Greenland fisher.
men to assist in the capture of whales and
musk rats. The line of march will thence
be taken directly to the elephant ground
situate n. N. w. from st. Cloud.
Those who propose to join this expedition
will be expected to provide themselves with
well-trained riding mule and four jackasses
besides himself A rifle will be the most
convenient and serviceable weapon for ele,
plants, but those wishing to indulge in small
game, as buffalo, lions and Indians, will
do well to take along double-barrelled sho
guns.
Any person wishing to practice and traiI
their mules or horses, will be furnished will
ample opportunity by the citizens of st
Anthony, as they have engaged " Rosse'
short-tailed bull +" expressly for amateurs t.
chare upon. The company will visit the gol'
mines of Terra del Tenego, and perhap
establish branch U. S. mint at the city o
Greytown.
Yours truly,
PETER.
