deny

The New York Tribune gives the result of Fremont
of the State of New York as follows: Fremont
2l7eoo Fillmore, l39,3Os; Buchanan, 100000. By this
estimate the aggregate of the State diminished
900. With of nearly 100000 in the aggregate
is not (says the Albany Argus) worth while to crcse
the details OF the estimate 1t gives the aggregate in Long
Island and the river counties up to and including Albany:
For Fremont 5l,7Oo; for Fillmore, 554OO for Buchanan
67,400 Now believe that Buchsnan's majority over
Fremont in these counties will be nearer 10000 than
this estimate. And we know who will wager money
on it
