A CLOSE CALCULATfoN.-A Wash
ington correspondent Of the Bellows
Falls Argus is responsible for the
following close figuring:
@Bets that Breckenridge and Lane
will get more votes in the northern
states than Douglas and Johnson are
as yet nearly even, and taoo TO one IS
offered that Douglas wiU not get On
electoral gote."
According to the above calculation
the electoral vote of Douglas and
johnson will amount to just nothing,
and as Breckenridge and Lane are
to get twice as many votes as the
former, it therefore follows that
their aggregate electoral vote will
be just nothing added to ITSELF
That is the shrewdest calculation
as to the relative strength of the
democratic tags that we have seen

he was as sure to be elected President Of
these United States, as that the 9th Of
November would come; and then cor
ruption and democracy must leave their
high positions together; for as they were
united in life, so It would be pitiful to
tear them apart in death. He then
spoke of the Chicago Convention in
those glowing terms ire so we'll knows
how TO employ, and paid to the Vermont
delegation a well deserved compliment
for their early and hearty support of our
popular standard-bearer. His remarks
were listened to with deep attention, and
added much to his reputation as a speak
er and an honest politician for in the
latter we have full and abiding faith,
and his unanimous nomination by the
people Of this district, gives conclusive
evidence that they think so too. Mr..
Baxter has never been an ofice-seeker,
and more than once has the nomination
which he has now accepted been offered
him, and that, too, when success would
have been certain. In his remarks Mr..
Baxter said he felt proud Of the people
