ritories Of the United states may be seized
and possessed by the cargoes Of folly, crime,
and recklessness which Europe ships off to
America Three cheers for the Van Blu
rens, sire and sonin Three more cheers
from the South for the " sire and son p
Three times three for the "Eire and son, " by
their .JslIOaO "patriots" Of the sunny South !"
But again it says:
For our own part, we have no misgVings as 10
the result of the November issue To entertain them
would be TO doubt the Intelligence integrity and pa
tr1otlsm OF the masses The stake may be deep one
but the people certain to win in spite OF the polt
ical tricksters and gamblers We regard the one
hundred and twenty electoral votes OF the Southern
States as certain for MIR. Buchanan"
Here's confidence man for youl The
one hundred and twenty electoral votes of the
South are certain for Mr. Buchanan And
now, having appropriated the whole Southern
electoral vote, the confidence man turns to
the North and claims the sohOle North What
pity Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Bruins
wick don't belong to the United StatesP They
would no doubt swell the triumph of " Old
Buck" and hail the Van Burens, sire and
son, as most excellent "patriotsW
1t says
Turning TO the Northern States, we can see no
thing in that quarter TO shake confdencein the
belief that the Democracy will come out of the fierce
and obstinate struggle in which they are engaged,
with shouts of exultation and Of victory but every
thing to strengthen that belief The Democracy Of
New Hampshire have never faltered at Presiden-
tial election. They will not falter now Unless our
friends are greatly deceived we have more than an
equal chance with the opposition in Connecticut and
Rhode Island In New York our prospects are
Frightening every day. New Jersey and California
will give overwhelming majorities for the Democrat
ic electors AS for Pennsylvania she will prove her
self to be in reality, in name, the Keystone of the
Democratic arch. Who can who will doubt the in
yincibility of the noble Democracy of this noble
State, with her own fayorite son in the field as the
standard-bearer of the Democratic party"
Don't lose a word of the above precious
piece Of information! It is exceedingly i'm
portantI
Here's "more of the sort left" Read and
wonder
"The electoral votes of Illinois and Indiana are
certain for Buchanan by majorites that will annih
late sectionalism in those great States In the APP
preaching triumph of the Democracy of Michigan we
have faith which gains strength with each succeed
| ing day. And last but not least, comes the great
State of Ohio. Fully aware of the large odds with
which her Democracy had TO contend, we could not
believe at first that Democratic victory in that State
at the coming election could be classed among the
probabilities, possibilities; but to doubt now
would be to regard popular demonstrations hollow
mockeres and the evidence of men not swayed by
passion or their wishes as deliberate msrepresenta-
TONS In the list of States found voting for the De-
mocratic partyvoting for the Union and the Consti
tuition and voting for Buchanan and Breckinridge-
the name of Ohio will not be found wanting"
Thus, then, Old Buck, by the aid of "the
Van Burens, sire and son, is to sweep the
sOhole South-carry the Whole North-and get
the entire Vest SO saith the Washington
Untons-a paper published at the capital of the
nation edited by him who was the recipient
of General Cass's famous ''squatter sovereign"
letter-and published on the 4th day Of 0cto-
Der in the year of our Lord 1856
Great paper that
These predictions, or rather assertions of the
Washington Union, are rather Inconsistent
with the statement now current among the
"knowing ones, !" that "Old Buck" has already
prepared his letter of declension, to be issued,
as soon as the defeat Of his party, on the 14th
instant, shall have been ascertained!
