Manifesto OF the Democrats.
From the Morning News.l

THE QUESTION SRTTLKD.-Al the Summer and
Fall Elections (previous to the Presidential con-
test) are now over-with the exception OF South
Carolina and Arkansas, which, as Overwhelmingly
Democratic. OF course, are immaterial to our pre-
sent purpose. The time has now, therefore, arri-
we'd for making general recapitulalion Of the
whole, to exhibit an unanswerable proof Of the d.
rection and sweeping force of the political tide
The present article, by the way, was prepared for
yesterdays Ne,rs. The Journal Of Commerce of
Yesterday, went partly over the same ground, bur
in differeut manner, and in some respects less
fully.
The following are the States which have held
elections since the making up of the great issue be-
tween the parties, by the nominations of their
pective Presidential tickets Louisiana, North
Carolina, Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky,
Missouri, Vermont, Maine, Delaware, Maryland,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Ohio. We
present in tabular form the comparative results OF
these elections, and Of the contest in l840o which
few preliminary remarks alone are necessary.
In Louisiana, the democratic majority Of l 900 is
a very low estimate There was only partial con-
test at the last election, no opposition being made
to the democratic tickets in two of the dstrlcts.
Itwould be nearer the truth to set it down at 1000
In Missouri, the actual majority of Edwards, the
"Hard" candidate, was 665l The allowance OF
1900 "Soit" democratic votes to allow, is undeni-
ably far below the truth-all which are Polk and
Dallas votes. This makes difference in majority
Of 4 600, making the actual democratic majority
about stated below.
In New Jersey, we ser down the popular vote as
about balanced, It being now ascertained that
Thomson was defea ated only on local and personal
grounds, causing him to behind his ticket, there
being an actual democratic majority on the Council
tickets.
In Pennsylvania, we deduct the accidental and
temporary apparent whlg majority in the city and
county of Philadelphia, which no honest reasoDer
will pretend to regard as any party test In lS4O,
they gave small majority for Mr.. Van Buren.
The New York herald., 1844-10-18

II thus appears that in these fifteen States, com.
prisng about seven.twefths of the popular vote Of
the Union, we have already gained above 1873 000
votes on the contest of 1S40 Harrison's nominal
majority then Excluding South Carolina, which
chooses its electors by the Legslature) was 145 800
mocralic majority in South Carolina, where they
are accustomed TO say that "there are not wings
enough to make mestones off, so that Harrison's
real majority was less than l2S, 600. The whole
whg majority OF 1870 s therefore already anuihjated

which have held elections since the nomin nations These

two democratic candidates for Governor, and no
whig; and because in Delaware the election was

MARYLAND, Connecticut, Norlh Carolina, Kentucky,
and Vermont. The election in New Hampshire

Of 1856 voes being at the rate Of fully 900 for the State
at large and 1000 compared with the Presidential vote
OF l840.
In the first named eleven States il will be that the
democratic at the recent elections larger by

large within 10 900 the whig vote then was While
the democr vote has increased b7 1866 the whg vote
has diminished 80, $50. Total, "a 4a9.
From these facts and others like them, think II is
evident that the wings to have plenty Of work on
hand at the ensuing Presidential election and they
gain the day the zest Of the triumph will be much the
greater.
One peculiary we have noticed in the elections this

From JAMAIcA.-Ddtes TO the Sih of September
have been received at New Orleans the Governor
had dissolved the House of Assembly on the 9th
OF August, and ordered wrts for general election
in February next. This measure has been pro-
duced by the rapid increase Of the liberal party,
who desire to separate the government from the
church, measure deemed almost reasonable by
the existing government.
II is believed that the new legislature will attempt
to dissolve the union between church and state as
now existing in the colony. But the Legislative
council appointed by the crown would no doubt
veto the measure, while it is feared that the Home
government would punish the colonists by de.
priving them Of their present constitution, and
