Under what strange lallucination
tho ssold politician, and shreacd ob-
seryer' .labofed when ne made such 9
compilation, it is difficult to imagine.
TIE merest tyro iIr'politics can give
him lessons, and point out his glar-s
ing blunders. II the signs Of the
times were ever written in broad and
leoible characters 30 broad and %
.leeible that ''hc who runs may read
they are 30 now; and All efforts to
direct mems minds from the trne po-
litical Issue, arise either from wilfnl
sinagainst knowledge, Or iroina scar
city Of brains. The above table,
therefore, must be regarded as framed
with malice prepeDse, Or else It y IN
dicative Of the most intensified YER
dancy.
Now, / do not profess to be ian Old q
politician ora Gerry $Areacd o6serrer, !
but God has given me q medium Of
common sense sufficient for every day
purposes, which, after fashion, can
put that and that together, and draw
thcrefrom q reasonable deduction. --
This It can sometimes do, even, when
an analysis of the causes producing
a given effect require some degree Of
sound reflection. But where no re-
Election ID necessary, and the result
stares one openly In the face, it be-
comes amusing to see men ingenionsly
laboring, with all their might, to force
themselves to believe what s contrary
to the evidences Of their senses. III
Having recently Travelled through
parts Of Ohio, Pennsylvania and New
York. Imade, en- Pdssant, some notes
of political matters, and have satisfied
my mind and Judgment that the bat
tie during the Presidential campaign
is to be fought entirely and altogether
between the Democrats and the Black
Republicans. This is 90 selfevident
that state it in terms without argu-
ment- precisely 10 the same manner
|as would state that the sun will rise
tomorrow. No argument is needed.
Every rejecting mind feels the fact,
and | therefore appeal to national men
North and South of every political
Shade 10 make their choice and vote
Althoagk ] make DO professions.
Mr.. Editor, Of being 1 seer, | shall
nevertheless put on record ] counter
statement, which, I hope, may - *.
amined, after TIE election, in con-
nection with that from the Erpress,
by an "old politician, and a shreaod
Observer. HI

New York is doubtful only, alb be-.
tween Buchanan and Fremont. so
after all Fillmore (who would make
a far more acceptable President than
the Black Republican candidacy has
nothing left but the uncertain chances
Of the paltry electoral vote Of Louis
ana and Delaware.
Let the Old-line Wings ponder
on this, and not aid a purely sectional
and anti-national faction BY voting
for Fillmore, who has no more chance
Of being elected, than he has Of being
struck BY lightning. Every vote for
him is aid aud comfort to the Black
Republicans, who seek, if they cannot
elect their candidate, to throw the
result into Congress. |
