The Contest of I860.
'.'.-The Presidential election of 1800, will
rsoon be at baud. It is time to to brush
' iug up our armor and preparing for the
carapnign. A prudent General will re
sconoiter tbo ground before he makes an
vflttack: let us do the Fame, and ascertain
an well as we can, the position of the en
emy, his resources, and his force, a? com
pared with ours. What is our ckauce of
euccees in the coming election ! It is uot
always a safe calculation to "count your
'chickens before tbey are hntchod' but in
this matter, with the lights of past expe
rience to guide us, we can calculate with
a fair degree of accuracy the final result
-It is a problem for the solution of which
you must go to tbo blackboard. We have
data sufScicut to ground our calculation
upon, and Ggures will not lie. QVding
the chalk wo proceed thus :
! If Kansas be admitted into the Union
" next winter, the number of votes to be
east in the next Presidential election will
bo 39 G. Of these the Free States will
.'have 180 :tho Slare States, 520. The
-majority necessary to elect is 154. Hence
"!'it follows that if the Free States as a unit
were imbued with a correct idea of their
..ojfn iutcreats, we would bavo a clear rua
. jority over our slave-driving brethren.
1 -But unfortunately that i uot the case, and
"our fair majority is reduced by those
1'rec States in name '.vho so love the
word "Democracy" that tbey cannot sec
Mthat that once proud title has uow become
a synonym for Slavery.
, ,I3ut we may set down as comparatively
- certain for our candidate if a judicious
- selection is made, all those States which
' went for "Fremont in ISoG. These com-
. prise ajl of the New England State, to
gcthcr with New York, Ohio, Miekigau
-rlowa and Wisconsin; making a total Re
publican vote of 1 14. Uy a fooli-h uom
j itiation it would be possible to cutoff from
this nholanx oue or two state-, but with
itbe fcxercise of ordinary prudence and
Vagacity in the nomination, those states
"may be regarded as a unit, and 114 votes
for the Opposition oandidotc a fixud fact.'
But then there remains 40 votes necessa
ry to make up the indispensable 154.
-Where shall wc jret 40 more vote. There
tire T2 votes still
in the Free
States.
"Should .wo carry every Free State except
N-Jersey and Pennsylvania we would mill
7 -want two votes of the rcquirite number.
'If wn carry Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Minnesota and KansBe, and lo.-e Indiana,
. Illinois?, California and Ore-ion. which
perhaps it is prudent to Fet down as doubt
- ful. wu would ftill have 41 votes, which
fyozetber with the 114 Reputlican votes
would make 155j 1 more than is necessa
ry.
, It will be sceu then that much depends
. upon New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
-Phcrc friends and neighbors will proba
uiyioin lianas in icuu, as mey aid in
l'55li, and Pennsylvania with ber 2?
.and. New Jersey with her 4 electora
votes, will cause a preponderance in favor
of that scale into which their combined
ivfeto is capt.
Now will Pennsylvania and New Jcr
y.fiey be true to their bei-t interests. Wil
, the free voter?, by whatever name known
or to whatever party joined, who are op
'posed. to the infamous administration

'bead, will they cordally uuite'io the sup
port of some good man who shall be bro
out in opposition to tbo candidate
. this rotten Democracy ! les ! The ex
jpericncG of last fall, teashes us that the
.i.-jgreat State of Pennsylvania, and her
- twin fcietcr New Jersey, will be 'right in
I860, as tbey were right in 1558. They
have only to unite next year as they did
, Jaet, and they are sure of carrying every
thing
before them, and

after sunset, when a pink fluh overspread

There were no clouds to mar the scene,

The chotly appearance and doubtlul

it portends war, famine, freeziug cold,
death, pestilence, and even the end of the
world as wo recollect in the days ot

people, roused thereby from sleep, fell to

The Ifext President.
The Washington National Era believes
that it the Bepublicans do not elect the
next President, no election by the popu
lar vote will occur. The number of elec
toral votes, including Kansas whicl
will, in all probability, be admitted at
the uext sossiou of Congress will be 306,
and a majority of this number, uccessary
to a choice of a President and a Vice
President, is 154. The South has 120
electors, and the froe States, including
Kansas, will number ISO electors. ' So
that the Democracy canuot succeed un-
less they can carry every Southern State,
and Northern States enough to make un
31 electors, and this it holds to be impos-
