aspect Of the contest before the secession?
Line ,la had no show whatever for more than
two States TIL the Breckenridge division took
place, and would have beaten him in every
State but Vermont and Massachusetts,. As
1t is, | think | will beat him in almost all of

be elected, the secessionists, who nominated
