STATES roa GENERAL cAss.
STATES REMAININa no pE HEARD rRoM.

We~have reported majorities from fifty-four
out of the fifty-eight counties in New York
Forty-seven Of these counties give Gen. TAYLOR
an aggregate majority Of 57,3l6, four of them
give maiorities for VAN buren,, amounting 10
gether to $780, and three counties give major
tiles for Gen. Cass, amounting in the aggregate
to $50. 1t is not yet ascertained whether Gen
Cass or Mr.. Van Buren, has received the largest
vote in the State.
Returns from all but eleven counties of Penn
sylyania foot up as follows: For Taylor 81 ,63S
for Cass 81 ,239. The counties yet TO be heard
from gave the Democratic candidate for Cover
nor majority of 1857.
In Georgia the majority for Gen Taylor is es-
tmated at from 800 to 1000.
In both North Carolina and Tennessee the
Wing maiorties will be larger than usual
In Alabama the Democratic majority is great
ly reduced--probably some 5,O00-but, even
with this Jorge reduction, Gen. Cass still has q
very decisive majority.

TIE voqn or VIRGINIA.

The returns from the counties of our own
State come in so slowly, that it is useless to at
tempt to give them in detail. The majority oi
Mr.. Polk in 1874 was 5 1898. 1t is certain from
the returns already in that Gen. Cass's majority
will not reach 1900. The gain of Gen. Taylor
in all but twenty Counties which remain to be
heard from, is 1884.
With proper confidence and corresponding
exertion on the part of the Wings throughout
the State, the vote of Virginia would have been
cast for Gen Taylor. As it is, we think the
Wings of the Union will give us the credit Of
having achieved moral victory, the effect Of
which will not be lost
