the End of November. In regard to its prob
able result, the Albany Euening Journal has
the following cheering paragraph:
BETTER THAN IN '56.-We have heard from
the canvassers in several localities in this and
adjoining counties, where the Republicans are
more numerous than they were in 80, and
where Morgan will receive larger vote than
Fremont did. We hear nothing discouraging
from any quarter. No future event is more
certain than the election of the whole Repub-
iican State ticket, if there shall be any thing
like full Republican vote. And no such
systematic efforts to secure such result have
been made IN ten years as are being made
now
