contest tomorrow, in the central States Of the
union-New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana and
illnois-will be one OF he most desperate strug-
giles that ever took place since the formation Of
the con1ederacy. The Southern States are safe
for Buchanan; the Eastern States, and with them
New York and ONO, are secure tor Fremont.
The former may thus coant on 10, tie latter lis
electoral votes; the remaining SO votes being he.e
O. The four States-New Jersey, Pennsylvania, i,i-
inos and Indiana to be fought Tor tomorrow.
Our latest and most reliable Information leads
us TO believe that tremendous aud general IL
fort has been made by the Fremont parry Ia these
States TO recover the ground which the election
of October seemed 10 indicate they had lost, Tie
controversies and discussions and wholesome
trnth-tclling which followed the meagre victories
Of the democracy in Pennsylvania and Indiana
appear 10 have reused the friends OF Fremont 10
unwonted exertlons, and 70 have exercised most
salutary influence upon the coaduct Of TIE canvass
so far as we are informed, The spcalled union Of
the Fillmore .and Fremont parties is II fact al
abandonment oc Fillmore. The rank ard lie .,
bis party have gone over 10 Fremont; the leaders
have been bought by Buchanan. Thc consequence
may b. that all OF a majority Of these focr do.ot
ful States may go fos Fremont tomorrow. An
analysis OF the October vote in Pennsylvania
shows that in the northern and western sections
of that State, the Fremont party were In large
majority in October, though their whole strength,
including the religious vote, was not pslled al
all. Their friends calculate to swell their Octo-
Der majority IN these two sections By fell ten
thou and Tomorrow There only remains the
eastern and southern sections of the State TO be
contestedthat is to say, Philadelphia and a
few surrounding and three or four southern
counties Fifteen Landred votes, in the city OF
Philadelphia, transferred from Buchanan to Ere
mont, would have given the State to the latter
at the October election; We are given 10 under
stand that The measures taken and the eyertions
made by the Fremont party, within the past fort
night, will rally . much larger reinforcement
than this TO their side. In Indiana, our informl-
ton likewise holds out strong promise of Ere
mont gains II is said by persons well able to
form an opinion that. the collateral issues which
influenced The vote Of the las. State election
being now set aside the Fremont party viii carry
the State by majority much larger than that
obtained by the democracy in October. From
New Jer ey our information is less definite; bnt
there TOO We are told that the Fremont men are
In high hopes and that, with the aid Of the Fill
more rank and ilc, who refuse to be sold by Their
leaders, they expect to carry the State. Conf
dence is also expressed 10y the leaders Of the
Fremont party in Illinois
Fremont, however. can afford to lose New Jcr-
sey, Illinois ona California. if he carries Pennsyl-
vania and Indiana; and in these two States h.
prospects appear certainly to he brighter now
lhan they have ever been.
Whatever may be The result. Of tue election. it
is fact beyond controversy that a clear majority
Of the people OF The United States are opposed To
fbe democratic dyoas'y Of which Mr. Pierce il
the rcigning and Mr. Buchanan the prospective
head and IL The present canvass cogld b.
potracted three months logger, so as 10 give

been neglected by the Fremont mana gers, Tor tue
