BY this remarkable table, which approximates to
the truth and fact in much higher degree than
persons not acquainted with the progress Of this
country would be apt to acknowledge, we are pre-
sented with the singular facts-frst, that the Pres-
dental election in l840 drew out about GO, 900 more
votes than were cast in the State elections imme-
dlatey antecedent to that event second, that the
vote IN the recent State elections has exceeded
that in the Presidential election of l84O, only
by few thousand, more or less-and, third, that
according TO the most accurate data, there are pro-
badly 500 900 voters who have not yet come to the
polls, and who have it in their power to decide the
contest, either one way or the other, in spite Of all
local Influences, whether native or abolition. II
this great mas of neutrals-hese 500, 900 voters,
stay at home, the probability is that the local
movements, such as " "nativeism" here, and aboli.
tionism elsewhere, may decide the Presidency by
one of the merest accidents in the world.
The whole matter is now in the womb Of futuri-
ty; and we believe there never has happened an
election in this country where the two parties were
SO equally matched-so nicely fitted-and in such
a completely balanced state-so as to be within
the reach and power of The slightest accident Ell.
ther TO the right or left For six months the coun-
try has been in state Of the highest excitement.
Mass meetings, discussions, newspaper forgeries,
tariff speeches, Texas orations-every species
of intellectual weapons have been pressed into
the service Of both parties. Both parties have
now exhausted argument. Their rhetoric has
run dry. Even SANDER is dumb. Calumny
has shrieked itself to sleep. The last poison
ed arrow has been discharged. Vituperaton
lies gasping, quite worn out. Blackguardism
is at last forced TO be still, because it can do no
more All are now sensible that, during the brief
period yet to come Of the time allotted for the
campaign, only personal effort, each man in his
own sphere of influence, and tact that can skill
fully avail itself of local movements and local feel
ings, can serve the cause Of either party. Already
we see this course Of policy adopted. The wings
accuse the ocofoc0s of counting the abolltionists.
The ocofocos charge on the wings a union with
the natives" and we have no doubt that before
a week has passed, the locofocos will be seeking
a similar union themselves.
So nicely balanced are the chances Of both par
ties at this moment, that we are more and more
convinced Of the accuracy Of our original opinion
that the State of New York will determine this
question, and that the city of New York will de-
termlne the State. Hence arises the extraordinary
influence Of the Natives in this city. That par
ty now possess power and position, which if
skully used, may enable them ito carry the whole
OF their congressional senatorial, land legislative
tickets, by majority OF some ten or fifteen thou
sand ON the day of election. We are persuaded
that the result is certain in this cty-and that is an
utter and overwhelming defeat Of the two old par
ties by the Natives, and that too without giving the
slightest additional chance OF deciding the fate Of
their Presidential candidates.
The MONSTER Mass MEETING OF THE NATIVES
in THE Park To-NIGHr.-This will be the most curl
GUS and original meeting of the present crisis. To
night the natives will reveal their principles and
purposes-dlscuss the presidential question-weigh
the merits OF Clay and Polk-and take some new
steps in the election. We should not be surprised
if both wings and locofocos wanted TO seek
aid from the natives, before the day Of election is
past and gone-for both wings and locofocos are
panic struck. The natives have only to "go-a-
head" and We will have curious results.
ELKcTRIc LIoHT.-A new discovery has been
made in the POWER Of electricity, by which all
New York can be lighted up at night with one
light, as bright as day. Why not light up every
large city--nay, every State Of the Union, in the
came way? These are the real questions. Gas
lights are getting common.
The BIsLE AT A DISCOUNT. Superintendent
Of Public Schools positively afirms, that the Bible
is excluded from thrty-thres schools in New
York. sadly mistaken idea
THE CRUaRR CAsE.-We have a full report OF
the interesting proceedings in this case, but It is
crowded out by the press Of important political in.
