The Democratic orgaas in the North are
rubbing the ears Of tho Bell.Everctt faction
with wonderful zeal. They tell you that if
the election OF President can only be thrown
INTO the House, Bel].Everett will stand first
s.&e chance Of being elsctedl Let VI see how
it st1nds. The House Of Representatives.
each State having one vote-is divided ~
follows:
FOR LINCOLN. FOR sRxck1xR1por.
New Hampahirs, South Carotina,
Maine, Delaware,
Vermont, Georgta,
Massachusetts, Florida,
Khode Island, Virginia,
Connecticut, Alabama
New York, Mississippi,
New Jersey, LouiSiAna.
ppsnns,i'ania, Tenn,
Ohio, Arkansas, -,
Indiana, Missouri, ~ =
Michigan, California,
Miscoosln, Oregon~l3.
Iowa,
Minnesota-15.
FOE DOUGLAS. FOE BILL.
u1inois-1. Tenneasee-1.
EQUALLY DIVIDED.
Maryland, North Carolins, Kentucky-8.
:, 1t is possible, though not probable, that one
Democratic member in each Of the States Of
Maryland, North Carolina and Kentucky may
be induced to desert Breckenridge aad vote
for Bell, which would leave the latter within
thirteen States Of an electionl We say it is
possible that three Democrats may be found
in these States who will desert their own can-
didate who can perhaps be elected, to 90 for
candidate opposed to them, who neper oan
be elected, as there are incurable idiots in Con-
gress as well az in our various asyluma---
Giving BelLEyerett the advantage Of idiocy
on the part Of three Southern foes, they are
still practically as far as ever from an election.
We will suppose that the Honse proceeds
Immediately to balloting, as required by the
Constitution, and does no other business un-
til the 4th Of March, 1861. We will suppose
That the Bell men in Maryland, N. Carolina,
Kentucky and Tennessee al stick to their
candidates till tho House is dissolved by the
Limitation Of Law. The Constitution requires
that the Senate shall then proceed to ballot
for Vice President from the tUo highest can
dldates before the House. Who will these
two candidates be? Lane and Hnn1lin inevi-
tably. For; making the largest and most lib
eral allowance to the Bell. Everett electoral
vote-giving them Maryland, Virginia, (which
they will not GET Louisiana, Kentucky and
Tennessee, they have only So votes against
IS for Lane from Delaware, Moth Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas and California.
1t is idle to talk Of carrying any Of the Gulf
States, unless perhaps Louisiana, for Bell-Ev
ett- At the]ast State election in Georgia, Brown
(DemocsaD for Governor, had 2l,el1 majority
over Akin, (American.) At the last State
election in Alabama, Moore (Democrat) had
$4,000 majority over Sanford (Amorican) At
the last State election in Mississippi Pettus
(Democrat) had 4,25l majority over Walter
(American.} At the last State election in
Florida there vas no American ticket in the
feld--the aggregate vote for Democratic can
didates being 1o1335. Thus in these four
States The most recent elections disclose the
enormous majority Of 1887 votes for what
is called Democracy" in that quarter. It
may be added that the last Stato election
in Louisiana gave s,s47 majority for
the Democratic candidates; in Kentucky.
8,918 for the SINE party; in Tennessee 8,0o8
for the samo party; while in Arkansas
tho Americans have long since cased to make
nominations. BY dint Of proving himself
more pro-slavery than his competitor, Mr.
Goggin (American), of Virginia, came within
5,5G9 votes Of an election as Governor Of that
State. But three years before, M1. Fillmore,
not having NJ. Goggin's advantages as fire.
eater, was beaten 29,54s votes By Mr. Bu.
chanan.
But hew stands the Senate in respecc.. Of
Bel.Everett? On and after the 4th day Of |
March next it will be divided as fo1lows:
Republicans 26; Rreckinridge and Lane
Democrats, 81; Constitutional Uniouists, l
Douglas, /. And Mr. Everett will never once
be voted fo1, even by Mr Kennedy, Of Mary
lana3, who is his aole friend.
