The following we find in the New York
Journal of Commerce
The Fremcnters have much TO say
about the large majorities of their candi.
dates in a few Of the States. particularly
Massachusetts. New York. Maine and
Vermont but suppose we take look at
the whole field. We shall then findsthat
Fremons is farther behind in the popular
than in the electoral vote. For. it must
be remembered that in l6 States Of the
Union he has no votes at all, or so few
that they are not worth naming therefore
the whole Buchanan vote Of these 6f,een
States is so much majority against Ere
mont. We are inclined 10 think that the
votes Of the three candidates in the n .tion
at large Counting South Carolina as 80
600 for Buchanan, and none for either OF
the other candidates. will be in the neigh,
borhood OF what follows. viz: III,
Buchanan. 1850. oo
Fremont, 1.25O,OG
Fillmore. 75o. ~
