Let the 26 common electors be pledged to divide their electoral votes between tho dif ferent Opposition candidates above named in proportion to the strength of each in the Op position ranks, as indicated by the result at tho polls. This plan avoids objections wh nearly every other, and combines advantages possessed by no other. Among those advan tages, we may state the follmvinn . 1.
