II We we're to put any confidence in
the brazen assertions Of the Fremont
presses, We should give up the contest
and despair ofprescrving the Constitn
ton by electlng national man to the
Presidency Greeley is only outdone
by the vEkAcious Bennett in asserting
that Fremont will carry every north
ern State by most overwhelming ma
iority Those who have watched the
course Of these same journals in pas
Presidential Elections, will remark
that what they now write is only n
repetition Of what they said and pub
ished when Gen Scott was their can
lidate for the Presidency.
They Dragged in the same manner
then npon the result of the State Elcc-
tions in Maine and Vermont. The
Evening Journal of Albany spoke OF
the Maine Election rs follows, Sept,
20, 1852

Der Upon the Congressional vote the
Wings Of the State have about 1000
ma ori!y. They stand 6,3oO better

Such was the language Of the Wing

and bet, and appeared as confident OF
the election ofGcn. Scott then. as they
now do of the election of Fremont. -
They took those States as type of all
the remaining States. and like a hen
with only two kernels OF corn in her
crop, who imagines that her crop is
full. so do the Aholitionists imagine
that because in the local elections they
have carried Maine. Vermont and
Iowa, they have a full and complete
triumph in al the northern States.
Poor deludcd mortals II they are
content to feed on hope with these
three States, and brag until they are
hoarse over Maine, We have no obicc
ton, only we don't delight in the sud
den and terrible disappointment Of
men. II is ap, to be fatal. Only once
hear what the Tribune said in Septem-
Der, 1882, about the Maine Election,
and the certainty Of SCOTS triumph
fro' that fact. Dragging was as strong
then as now, and will have Al little ef-
feet to deceive now a. then. Fremont
is bound to be q worse beat man than
Scott was, if the signs of the times do
not mislead us.
But hear what the Tribune said in
1852:
