This order (to take the ncgroes) was
on lis face positive. sweeping. uncoustiiu-
tional. No specification OF persons ne
names. not even their number; al the
negroes. late Of the Spanish Schooner
Amistad. in his custody. under process
non pcndino before the Circuit Court o'
the United States. Was this order given
i'll country where the Rights Of Persons
were words without meaning, In The
Kingdom of Dnhomcv, In the rcgion

As there are many speculations about
the vote of the State of New York at DE
Presidential: election, our readers Will be
glad TO see the estimate Of the y. York
Herald. paper which pursles an indc-
dent political course, and which has no
ob!cc: ia cNagge rating the prospects OF
.,iyct the candidates. The Herald say
1t will be recollecicd that it was in the
year 1917 that the Barnburncrs Of this
State left the camp Of the old Thinkers,
and dissolved partnership with them
At that election, the number Of Democrat
ic votes was one hundred and forty thous
and. while II the Presidential election OF
1871, it amounted to two hundred and
thiiiy-sevcn thousand. The difference
between these two sums may he sad 10
constitute the strength of the Barnburncrs
in the election of 1917. Since that tune
this new party has gained MANY converts
and adherentS from the Nhi">. as well
as from the -tbol,ioiis,>. and although ""
have no means of aSccrtairtinr the exact
addition from these sources. we think il
safe to estimate it al thirty thousand. This
will give the Barnburncrs IA force of one
hundred aud twenty thousand. and the
old llunkers il force Of one hundred and
forty thou sand. The strength Of the
Wings. after deduciing fifteen ,hoa san: as
an estimate OF those OF that party who
have Joined the Barnburncfs. viii be two
hundred and seventeen thousand. which
- majority OF seventy seven tlousa and
over the cid Iiunkers, and Of ninety
thousand over the Bariburnets.
This. we think, is iolerabiy accurate
estimate Of the vote that will be east IN
this State on the seventh of November
next: aud if this should br the result. Gen.
eral Taylor VIII secure the State most ,ri
u,nphanily. Even leaving a margin o
ten thousand either way. and the res,il
will be the same. The STATE Of New
York may, therefore. he Sc, down for ole
lack neN. November.
