however, to contemplate our candidate
lrom the standard oi
Civilian aud Statesman
What gave him swrit prestige IN Lou
isiana aud Toxas was his determination
q subordinate the military to the civil

Tho Doubtful states.
New Work, New Jersey aud Connecti-
cut are reasonably certain Ia be Han
| cock States, as the Democratic leaders
have no opportunity to put IN the lead'
iug strings by their blundcrs, and put
down Pennsylvania ~ quite as certain
iur Hancock as Ohio IN Tor Gariield'
The really doubtful States oi the contests
will be Indiana, Illinois, Nevada, Cai''
iurnia and Oregon, with not more
than one chance IN a dozen ior
the Republicans IN Indiana, aud with
about like chances ior tl,o Democrats IN
Illinois and tho Pacific States. Looking
dispasslonatciy over the field at thiH
early stage Of the conflict, the indica'
tions point strongly TO a democratic
President, q Democratic Senate aud a
Democratic House on the fourth oi
March, 1851.
