Our opinion is that the Democratic candidates
infallibly get the votes Of these Southern States:
Virginia 10 electoral votes, North Carolina 10, St
Carolina s, Georgia 10, Florida 8, Alabama 3, NJ
sissippi z, Texas 4, Tennessee -, Kentucky IL Ns
souri, Q, Arkansas 4-total 1O3.
These 103 votes in the South are absolutely cr
tain for Buchanan and Breckenridge. 1t will bed
served that We omit Louisiana 90 Maryland, d
and Delaware, (S,)-total II votes-from the abc
statement of Buchanan's strength in the South i
is barely possible that these three States may ul
for Fillmore, and We choose to give our opponea
the benefit of every doubt
We consider the following Northern States ceru
for the Democracy:
Pennsylvania ~, Illinois IL, New Jersey I, Intl
ma l3, California 4-total 81.
These 81 Northern votes, added to the l03 Soul
ern votes for Buchanan and Breckenridge, make,|
tai of 1916 votes above the requisite majority
Although we have classed Louisiana DeaN|
and Maryland among the doubtful States Of U
South, and Maine, New Hampshire, New York sI
Michigan among the doubtful States of the Nor|

We have our opinion relative to the contest no
