WArcHMAN, WHAT OF THE NroHr! friend in
the country asks opinion of the grand result on
Tuesday, November 2d-this day two weeks. We
feel justified by recent decisive elections in giving
candid opinion that the following States will cast
their votes for franklin Pierce and William R. King,
viz MAINE 8, New Hampshire S. Pennsylvania 81,
Virginia Is, North Carolina 10, South Carolina 8.
Georgia 10, Alabama 9, Mississippi Z, Arkansas 4,
Texas 4. Missouri 9. Iowa 4, Illinois IL, Indiana
I3, Wisconsin S, Ohio %, Michigan Gin all l79,
or 30 more than is necessary TO elect them.
A New Jersey Democrat was in our Office yester-
day, and assured Us that his State and New York
would certainly vote for Pierce. Another friend
writes Us the same in regard to Rhode Island. The
recent vote in Baltimore almost certainly
Maryland-and the late town elections give the same
fatiering promise for Connecticut. Our party in
Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee and Louisiana, are in
the finest spirts-and, so far as judge, it is
only On Vermont, Massachusetts and Delaware that
the Sewardltes count with any certainty. Even
in Delaware the Democrats are making noble bat
tle-and in Massachusetts the Webster fever is at
the highest poin, Of enthusiasm. ('rhe Webster tick
ct in New York will take off large slice from the
Whig party, leaving the State certain for Pierce and
king.]
too will vote for Pierce-although the Sewardites
persist in claiming her.
The above will show that we feel perfectly conf
dent of the success of glorious ticket. But the
democrats must not relax in their effoft-they must
devote every moment, from now until the End No
vember, to hard work. Let the voters be visited in
person, furnished with electoral tickets, and let
~ vote be cast. Let not confidence in the grand re-
suit prevent a single vote from being cast for the
democratic ticket We wish Virginia to win the
highest honor in the canvass, and we invoke every
Democrat TO do his whole duty and see that every
dem ocratc vote be cast on the End November next.

The INFAMOUS BARGAIN. For several days there
have been rumors that Hale, Chase & Co.. had sold
out to Seward, Scott & Co. We have forborne to
aIlude to the subject until could get possession Of
the facts in the case. Those facts we now have,
,hough not liberty to the names of the
parties who have betrayed the secrets but the bar.
gain has been made, and Hale is working transfer
whatever strength there may be among the abolition
lists and free soilers who nominated him, to Seward
and Scott. But the Democracy need not be in sthe
least alarmed this bargain; for although Hale can
sell himself and few demagogues like hmself, yei
many Of those who would vote for hinsafe men OF
some principle, and all such will ba dlgnsted with
the insincery Of their leader, and with the
knaves who have bought him. And If they are not,
il he could succeed in carfyi over. (Which he caa.
not do) his entire strenglbst would react upon Sew
ard and Scott in anot place, to produce more harm
to the cause than ihesMhole abolition vote would dc
