All these great events, and many others in

Answer:—wero the election "to:talce place
now; should no change for the better came
to the Whigs before November, Gen. Scott is
thel`w9rst whipt candidate that ever made a
race for the Presidency as nominee of one of
the great parties of the country: Wo expect
that the exertions, of his party do some
thing towards mending affairs before the elec
tion, but, evert though - they sh'embi repair all
the breaches, wo cannot see them the faintest
hope for his election. That the Whigs are
greatly in the minority in this, country on a
'fair vote, no reflecting man can doubt: At
the present time s , they hare but three Gorernors
in the Union, plainly indicating that the as
cendency of the Democracy is overwhelming
in its majorities.
The Whig,s succeeded in 1848 through the
Van Buren defection,ancl by nominating Gem
Taylor, a good old man whom : the whole
country felt bound to reward for his great
achievements in war. And yet no one can
suppose that he would have been elected had
he been identified with the Whig party as_ a
politician. They nominated him, setting forth
no principles; and he claimed to be a no pasty
Man, even offering to inn on the Demecratic
ticket !f they would nominate him. With all
these advantages, Gem Cass wanted Only- the
electoral vote of either Pennsylvanial , or_ New :
.York to have elected him, and eitber,i or both
Of these he would hava seemed bat for the
