Look at the Figures.

TIE Washington Union of Saturday last,
tvhich paper cost us three cents, just nine
times its value y contains an article which
shows, satisfactorily to ITSELF and conclusively
to the minds of all ninnjes, that either "Old
Squatter Sovereign" or the Woolly Horse"
Is certainly to be the next Presidentl 1t says
"1he leading paper of the Republican party Of
New York, the Morning Courier and Enquirer, in
long and beseeching article, seemingly addressed
toits Republican contemporaries, confesses that Mr..
Buchanan will get in the South one hundred and
twenty electoral votes; that he will also, certainly
ge. California; and that it is 'only necessary to
give him the twenty seven electoral votes of the
honest old fcee State of Pennsylvania, and he is
the next President of the United States.'
II the sham Democrats and sham Republi-
cans can be allowed to testify in behalf of each
other, thon it is clear that Mr.. Fillmore will not
pcta sing eloctoralvote, the sham Republicans
'conftssing" that old Squatter Sovereign
viii carry the whole South, and the sham De-
1aocrats confessipg" that the "Woolly Horse
will get erery Northern State, except just
enough TO enable the former to triumph over
tae latter! . su@
If history be true, Satan offered to give
rway "a the kingdoms of the world, on GER
tain conditions, when the "poor devil" had not
place on earth wherein to lay his head And
ii we understand anything Of the rights of
these two factions, they are just as much as
and no more entitled to make " concessions
70 each other, than Satan was to dispose of
this neither creation "and the rest ofmankind ~
They remind us, in their Dragging, of two
desperate gamblers, who have conspired to
cheat and plumber an honest player, and who
nttempt to "bluffof" their supposed pigeon
by Dragging high" upon broken hands, y
whilst their intended victim holds two bull
lets and a bragger," with the advantage Of
the "age" Bluff away, gentlemeni Brag
to your hearts content! When you have put
up all your "stakes," you will be scaled dosonF"
The people intend to sotn this time, and all
your arts can't avail you,
Now, what though the Courier and Enquir-
er "confesses that Mr.. Buchanan will get in
the South, one hundred and twenty electoral
totes and that he will also certainly get Cali
forniaY" And what though the Washington
Union "confesses" that Mr.. Fremont viii gel
every Northern State ercept Pennsylvania,
Indiana, and Illinois, which are claimed for
lIr Buchanan Suppose some old woman
wcr. to confess" that the moon is made OF
Green cheese" or that the sun is globe o.
"harcoalP The one would be equally
9" " u' "s tne w.. and not whit more true.
Ihe Attterttes have 'sworn and agreed"
many times over, that on certain fixed DAYS.
which have long since passed, the world should
come to an end. These political Millerites
have "sworn and agreed" that certain events
shall happen,-that Old squatter Sovereign"
staik have the 120 electoral votes Of the South
tHy hoU, and that he andthe WooLy Horse
shall divide all the votes of the North, in .ome
fashion, SO that one or the other shall be the
President
The predictions Of religious killerism have
thus far only served to frighten few hundred
nervous fools to commit suicide, and to die
