shown that the prospect OF Demoerale
victory in November, is even brighter than
many of our most saguine friends sup
posed. Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas,
North Carolina and Texas are largely DEM
ocratic. This secures beyond doubt, the
whole electoral vote of the South to Bu-
chanan. He needs only twenty-nine votes
from the North to make him President,
Iowa has been carried by the Republicans
by reduced majority. 1t is said that three
of the State officers elected are Fillmore
Know Nothings, At the Presidential elec-
ton in November, there will be three parties
in the field. The so called Republican par
ty will be broken in two in the middle
We have the firmest assurance from those
of our friends who have Travelled over the
State, that the Fillmore men are active
and vigilont. L. w. COCHRAN Esq, just
returned from Iowa, brings with him hand
bill signed by over two hundred names for
tremendous Fillmore gathering in Musca-
tine. Every man whose name is signed to
the bill, voted the Republican ticket at the
State election. Who can doubt, then, un-
der these circumstances, that Iowa will
cast her electoral votes for Buchanan.
MAINE.
That Maine will cast her vote for Bu-
chanan, there is scarcely doubt. she is
already in the list Of Democratic States,
having been carried against the Republicans
at the last election. There is probability
that the Whig party as body will wheel
in to the support of the Democratic nomi-
nees. Maine has eight votes.
/ CONNECTICUT.
Even Horace Greely has the frankness
to admit that unless the Republicans are
more energetic and vigilant, this State is
to be classed among the Democratic. The
old Wings are coming over to Buchanan
in scores in nearly every county. You
may safely set down the six votes of Con-
necticut in the Democratic column.
NEW YORK.
The ulion of the "Hards and "Softs" was
guarantee of Democratic victory in New
, York. When thoroughly united the De-
, mocracy of the Empire State have never
| been defeated. Their present union is per
! feet and complete. The Wings Of thai
t State have recently held Convention and
: resolved to support Fillmore and Donelson
= This is another cruel blow to Fremont
| The indications are that the Republicans,
r will be the third party in that State. New
= York has thirty-fte votes.
Pennsylvania.
t Since the nomination of separate Fill
= more ticket liz the old Keystone State, tht
. last hope of Fremont has gone out in dark
ness, Western Pennsylvania may possibly
be carried by the Republicans; but the East
ern portion will cast an overwhelming vott

J. of Pennsylvania, uses the following Ian

This is another of the States over whic
y the Tribune is full of bitter lamentation
G Hear it:
= 'If the election here were to- m orrow, W
should apprehend the choice of the Bu
l. chanan electors. The opposition is dis
:. tracted and disorganzed, and could nc
poll anything like its fair vote. A con
) siderable number are intent on THROWN
e away their votes on the Fillmore electors
ticket, though it has no shadow of chance
