The friends of McDougall are very confident,
and seem to he sure that he will receive
something near forty of the fifty-siX Douglas
votes. If they are right, he will either be
elected by the aid of the Republicans, or

rext canvass, of having defeated the election
ofa sound Union Senator, for no one else
