rity, gain for Polk OF sY7s If he gains - ip
Fentress, a county that has always given him
large majority, he carries the State by a majority
OF one Forty six votes, according to this, will,
therefore, decide this state This almost equals
Massachusetts, which elected Morton a few years
ago Governor, by majority Of one out Of 10000
votes FNM# kA


LoUIsIANA.-Thirty-five parishes give Clay ma
jority of 60 According to the whlg papers the ma
jority is 1888; but they have the vote for Clay in
st. Landry l2S too high. According to these pa
pers. however, the majority for Polk in the State
will be 80, if the parishes to come in, voted as
they did last July This is pretty tight fit. Not
withstanding this Clay may yet have the State.


If these two States have gone for Clay. the elec-
tion Of Polk will have been secured by the vote OF
New York. His actual majority, therefore, will
be bur 5000, the majority of this State and his
mlnal majority will not be much larger. This
makes the recent elections the closest on record,
taking the aggregate vote, nearly three millions,
into consideration.


The WALL STREET PAMc.-This tornado yet
RACES fearfully. According to our money market
report it appears that several of the solid stocks
are giving way. New York Flves and several
other solid stocks have begun to move. No one
tell when this is to end, for the influences at
work in the production of the panic are extensive,
aud are spreading over iha country. No matter
whether it be artificial or natural, if moned men
and men of property, and all who control the mo-
ney market and stocks, are determined to make
themselves miserable, no one can prevent them.
Certainly we shall not try.


How far stocks may 60 down we know not, or
what general articles OF commerce may come to
be affected no one can tell 1t IS very evident from
the complexion of affairs just now that new and
important plan of procedure is begun to be con-
sidered and reflected upon by the wings for their
action in the next Congress- 1t is conceded by the
most influential of the whig journalists that the
tariff question has been settled by the recent cleo
ton in favor of low tariff, free trade" as
some allit,which is in our opinion misnomer, but
more particularly that the people have decidedinfa
vor OF the annexation of Texas. 1t is now pressed
upon all the wings that they should abandon their
hostility to annexation, and let the administration
Of Mr. Tyler carry that measure into effect, and
every other favorite measure, SO es to forestal
The administration OF Mr.. Polk, and TO bring upon
the country as quickly as possible all the evil con-
sequences which they expect to flow from those
measures. If this advice be followed, and the





the project of annexation, we do not well see how
we can be assured against serious disturbances Of
our foreign relations. Mexico may call forth
very important interference on the part Of England
and France. We shall not be at all surprised, if,
in this view of the case, the foreign relations Of
this country should be so altered in less than six
months, as to place onr commercial intercourse
with England and France in position almost
like that il would sustain if we were about to en-
gage in war.


It is very evident from the course adopted by
these whig journalists that this result is expected
and desired by them; and all who have been dis
appointed in the recent election, appear to be
resoutely determined to create as much confusion
and panic and evil as possible-acting in some re-
spects similar to the conduct Of the politicians who
got up the excitement about the northeastern
boundary question, merely for political capital, and
went so far, eventually, as 10 break down variety
of commercial and financial interests of that day.
Looking at the subject, therefore, in this serious
point of view, we are not so sure but the wings
may succeed in creating ranic. In this position
of affairs, the message of the President and all the
dolngs at the opening OF Congress, will be doubly
interesting. II the message should recommend
strong and energetic measures, founded on the re-
cent announcement of the popular will in the eec-
ton, we do not know what course events may
take, even to the affecting, not OF stocks alone,
but Of the whole commercial interest of the coun-
try, and all growing out of the spite and spleen Of
disappointed wings Such things have happened
before, and they may happen again. We, there
lore, advise every one to take care, for there may
be hurricane brewing ahead.
