The republicans have, therefore, only to hold their
and to gain senator in order to win The north
districts, which the republicans have, they will
certainly retain while the 25th district, the only
treme southern that elects) in spite of the
Buchanan diversion is certain for Douglas The 18th
and 2st pretty certain to go for Lincoln according
to their present political character This leaves de-
batable ground only the llth, 12th l3th and l4th.
At least of these must be gained for Lincoln in order
to give him majority in the legislature.
This gain WILL probably, be made in the llth district
In 1856 Buchanan received there barely majority Of
three votes over the combined opposition Now the OPP
position completely united John c. gby, while
(Douglas) and Wm Wagey buchanan
The 18th district, composed of Adams and Brown
countless gave Buchanan clear majority of 724 in
1856 The opposition united on John 1illson,
while the democracy divided between Austin Brooks
DougIas) and VIM. II. Carlin (Bnchanan.) There is
chance TO gain for Lincoln in this district
The majority for Buchanan in the 18th district 3S2
both the opposing candidates The republican
ddae in this district is John Moses, and the Douglas
candidate c. l.. Higbee We do not hear of any Bu-
chanan nomination here. If is made the vote will
be close.
In the l4th district the democratic majority over the
combined opposition in 1856 was 33l. The vote for
455 votes, Fillmore ,259, and Buchanan 4,045. The
republican candidate for senator is A. B. Moreau and the
Douglas candidate A. L. Knapp.
In each of these four districts Douglas has made great
cxerons to draw to his side share of the Fillmore
votes and much will depend his in this under
taking We confident, however that his gain from
this source will DO less than his loss through the botng
of Buchanan democrats.
From one view Of the field the lth will probably be
the decisive district If that goes for Lincoln, it will
pretty surely his election His chance is but slight
in the other central districts.
