s'Rec0nnoItering tho position of p;Irties | there, and the conduct of their leaders the zeal with which both undertake the cam paign, and the motives of the contest. we are rejoiced to think, that with tue display of proper exertion, the encouragement of pro per feelings and hannouious action, we can achieve a satisfactory victory. West of Ca yuga bridge, our prospects are most cheer ing; our true hearted whigs will rush to that conhne, in sufficient numbers to deserve the proud eptaph of the Lacedemonians at Ther- yie--.Passer-by, go thou and tell Spar ta, we have obeyed her laws, and are here.' Our accounts promise greater rally there, than we have heretofore ever made
 "ile interior of tIie state affords us no ground Tor Encouragement The fructifying labof5 oi our friends there, gladden. our souls 1 We have been able to prevent our opponents from feaiising, even by their immense exer- tons, the harvest of their hopes Though not absolutely discouraged, their anticiua- tions have lost their sanguine hue Passing the River counties, which will give "a najo- ty against us. our real solicitudc IS for the city Of New ! ork.

 And then the wriler goes on to say, that by attending properly to the city of New orI, visiting every ward and precinct, and "lamtilarlzing every portion of 1t to the in- quistlVe polaieian,a there is good hope that the city may be carried for the wbigs, and the thirty-six votes of the state giYen to Ar. Clay.
 But let us see what ground tae Bosom journalist has for snpposing that the other states which he claims will give whig vote ''We claiHl,a says he, with all moral cer- tainty as ours, Delaware. New Jersey, Mary land, North Carolina, Georgia, Louisana.n 1 Now there are but two of these states, to
 say the utmost, and perhaps this k conced- ing too much, which the whigs can claim with "moral ceriaintyn New Jersey is very
 certain 10 vote against them that state IS q sel eely less likely to choose democratic
 electors than New Hampshire hersef.--
 North Carolina IS a doubtful state, aud in
 Georgia and Louisiana the chances are so
 much in our favor that all but very cautious calcnlators claim them positively for our
 party. To talk of the success of the wing
 ticket in these states as a moral certainty, is
 to talk very oxtravagantly.
 The Boston Courier claims the states of
 Indiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Ohio,
 with the same confidence. The ruth, how ever is, that in only one of these states,
 Kentucky, can blr. Clay's chance be called, , without violence to truth, | moral certainty. - 4, ; hopes; ia Indiana the probability is strong
 that the democratic electors will be chosen
 in Ohio, if the abolitionisls adhere, as we . think they will, 10 their own proper ticket, the success of the democratic ticket is cer-
 tain. We have recently eonversed with a
 gentleman who las been travelling in Ohio, and who assures Us that our friends in that
 state are confident of the victory. The elec- t.eneerng tour of Casius NJ. Clay through
 that state, the design of which was 10 rally ! the abolitionisis to the support of his rela-
 tive, was a failure. An abolitionist. who has
 carefully observed his movements. told us :, yesterday that he had made two voters for 1, Birney where he had made one for Clay. :, Even Of the three New England states which the Boston print claims for Mir, Clay T two only can be spoken ol as subjects oi " moral certainty. Connecticut Is doubtful Z state; the whigs themselves in that state if we may trust to what is said by such of
 them as visit our city, are approhensve that they may lose 1t al the approaching election.
 Make these deductions from Mr. Ciay'5
 "moral cerainties,7 and what Is his chance , of success, even fl he should obtain the vote
 of New J ork That vote which his friends 7 in Boston acknowledges to be so indispensa- : bic to his election he cannot obtan. In the
 country the democratic party has recently
 been organized m such manher as to call
 ont it's full strength. In tlse city the popular :. feeling is immensely strong for the democra- f tic cause. The whg merchants are cool, '' some inditlerent--a few of them will even
 vote for Polk. Take tows and country to- } gether, or take them singly, and the most
 cautious mea of our party. the iuveterate :. croakers themselves, entertain no doubt of
 our success in the state of New ' ork.
