Of courseat is a little top soon (6 begin to predict with much certainty the, re-" suit of (he coming Presidential election. Before we begin to prophecy, rye want to sec who-thc Democrats liave put in the field, and who the : Black'Republicans, if, i hdeed, these factions should 'conclude to fun separate candidate, which they arc rather too shrewd’ to' do, 'except for.appearance sake. ; -.v ‘ • \ But wo arc at . a to pcrceivc what reason the Demoenryhave.for hragging so sturdily, or for believing— if;/indeed; any of they are green'enough to believe—thattlicir Cincinnati nominee Stands any chance of .a'n election, no* matter who: he may happen to be. There is not a single Northorn Slate which they can rely upon carrying with , any degree of certainty.— Kvcn New Hampshire, whith. tinlil the last election or :lwo, bas al ways given a majority .of ten or twenty thousand in. favor of the Dctnocsatic party, is now classed in the rank ot uncertatrt .Slates by all prudent calculators of all parlies. The Democracy, after the most unheard-of exertions, were badly beaten there only a few weeks ago. - The administration used Ml its patronage and influence to carry W5 hut to no ‘purpose.! y.New Hampshire is no longer a certain Democratic Stale., And if New Hampshire is not,. what other-Norlhoni Suio can bo claimed,'with ’any show..of- reason, for the Cincinnati .' nominee?' / Can'Illinois even? Not, wb ropiy, unless; Douglass is tho candidate —nor ia it very certain for him.. : • ’■■v' , Tlie Democracy qblnihctl only.a plnndilyat.tho last 'election, in 1 Illinois, and.lhat after tho "little giant", and his friends had canvassed the State closely; from. end to the other. And if, Illinois is iriot certain for the Democratic; candidate-hand it is certainly moroso.thon itiy other, Korern States—we beg to inquire hpoh what Northern States .the - Cincinnati nominee can rely,- with- any -confidence; whatever? Not one that we can src.‘ And yet these fellows are eternally'boasting that they mean to sweep everything before, them. But their bragging ie huulbug, and nothing else; ... ; ' * • As to Fillmore’s chances, \ve consider them excellent, and growing brighter every day. ' We believe ho will obtain a pitiral-: ity, if hot a;m(ijority yote, jn most of the Northern States Pad; under, the unfavorable circumstances, he will be almost sure lb di vido the elcctorial vote of the South I with the. Cincinnati candidate.' . Virginia! aml.Sonth are the only Southern States which tve are willing to concede to the Democracy—-and they will not get them without a Severestruggle.- 'Tito bql-.j ance that are not certain for Fillmore we | put down-as doubtful—such as Alabama, Mtssiscippi,;and Arkansas. : ■ 7 . . j We learn that Mr, Stuart, in his speech j before .the Stanntpn Convention, ;made an \ estimate, and claimed 'as certain lor Fillmore/lho electoral yolta of tbe following StatM, ; :; yb«—Massach nsel (s .13, .Rhode Island 4, New Yofk' New Jersey 7, Pennsylvania 27, - Ma ry] and 8, -Kentn cky. 12;-; .Tennessee/12,; Nori b. Co rolina 10, Louisiana 0, -Missouri 9, 4, Deleware-3, Florida: 7 3—'which /makes a total of 157—11 more thanis'necessary to an election. Taking it altogether wc look upon this estimate as pretty fair. The friends of Fillmore, therefore, .have n right to feel encouraged/ . Tlieir.chances arc at least ten-fold better than; those of the Democracy, as things stand at present. Wc care nothing much ‘abort who may be nominated at; Cincinnati; jwe regard one candidate just about as formiable as another. With proper exertions, ; Fillmore can beat any man; they majr put forth —and that is enough.' . 1 Let cadi and ell of his friends, everywhere, enter upon the work of the canvass with.heartiness and zeal, and the re-* stilt wilt not be doubtful. Take courage ! —"the skies are.bright and brightening.”

1. That he* is not a subscriber; or, 2. lie
don’t pay the- printer. Tile reason of this is obvious—for a than seldom finds 'fault with anything that'is his owi. There are,, however, another class ;pf newspaper fault-finders. We now . refer to that numerous class, who whenever they find an extract that don’t exactly suit their narrow, views, they. rankeThat an excuse for "stopping the paper," , and hope thereby to "starve the printer out." Now every man has a right to stop' taking a paper whenever ho pleases,v but it’s no use to complain about the matter to the printer, or laydown a platform to him on the subject. Whenever a man thinks the Reveille isnot worth-a dollar a year to hint, wo want'him to stop his. subscription, to it—hut we don’t want to be bored with along platform,of,wrongs and grievances on the subject. : One man "stops the' paper" because "it’s an Abolitionist sbgol?’ "'Another slops it because "it abuses tho’Aliblitionisls." Another one quits it "because it’s dofrn ou'tho old-lincra." But tho most ridiculous idea is, that a preacher should come down upon it in the pulpit, because of an article appearing in it about “iliej deyil," which did not nltogether suit Iris | views. Thus, all the lime, some men me■ finding fault with the printer, and “atop- i ping the paper." ■ ■ I On the other hand there aro hundreds of honest and liberal-minded men, who know that it is impossible for the printer to suit everybody, and do not expect pvery lino to exactly agree with their individual opinions. They know that they gel the worth of their money, many limes over in tbo coerce of a year, end aro sat isfied. lie following is ‘a fair specimen of letters from these kind of men : .
