Ia tie With District ROBERT II. MCCrRDi Is
The Union caudidat~-a man OF excellent qIniLhca-
tons, and highly esteemed by all classes oil the
people. We are ooufdent that if proper eIerton'
are made 10 bring out fall 'ote, he VII bcal
JOHN Cc,IIRASE, the renegade free-Soiier' WHO
Low stands before the public without blasAins a'
the advocate and apclOsi't OF slavery e1lehs'on'
electoral fraud, and Presidential dlctation' IN
I-56 Cochrane had 500 votes to ipV Tor tAe
Republican candidate and $500 for the American
Til, shows that the District is close one, but Ii
all frstd i. preycn,ed oil the polls Cochrane VII
.urely ~ beaten. McCuTdy will not only pou
great Opposition vote, but hundreds oil Democrats
especially in tie Eleventh and Seventeenth "ards'
disguised at Cochranc's tergi7ersations, are re-
solved TO give their sufrages TO HcCurdy' Inc
German citizens Of those wards have had enough
Of old Free. Soilers turned Lecomptonites, and VII
expres. their sentiments TO hat effect on luesd,y.
On the other hand, heavy frauds are to be eh-
pected there and must be watched for and WoFhed
against The District may be carried, or IL may
be lost, according to the ZEAL industry and vigilance
which the Opposition may manifest or iaI 10 m'n'-
fest. We trust, however that they Will do their
whole duty; if there is a rccrcant 10 PrirciPle VINO
deserves defeat snd political extinction, Mr'
CocbraDe IS tho mau.
In the With District thege s triangular contest
between ". i. Msclay, Lecomp.onite unniSed,
the present member, Gilbert c. Dean. American,
and Philip Hamilton, nominated by the Republi-
cans and anti. .Lccomp,on Democrats II this Dis
trct i, lost it viii BE- the fault Of the Americans
Who insisted on forcing the Republicans to tahe
candidate personally most Objectionable to them.
The latter have accordingly united with the anti
Lecompton Democrats in support OF PHILIP HAM,
ILToS, for whom urge Che cordial support OF
all opponents Of the present weak and corrupt Ad-
ministraton. The contest lies between him and
MacIny the American candidate having no chance
whatever, and by proper efoIts he may be elected.
Let those efforts be made
In the Ivth District the Opposition will be
united upon OWEN w. BRENNAN, while the Demo
Gratis are divided between Thomas J. Barr, the
nominee Of the Custom. House, and Samuel Fur
man, tie nominee Of tie Post-Office. 1t is
strong Democratic District, but both the candi-
dates of that party Objectionable TO large num-
bers Of it, members. We should not BE- at all sur
prised at Mr.. Brennons election. Indeed, the
success of any Democratic candidate there is now
20 doubtful, that Elijah +. Purdy did not dare to
stand as candidate, for fear Of being beaten BY
the votes of his own party. Furman is certainly
no stronger, if as strong, as Purdy would have
been. Barr is absolutely sure Of mnst exemplary
defeat
In the lid District we have the singular spec
iscle Of four candidates, Mr.. ID. l.. Scklcs, tt Le-
comptcnite, the present member, aud Gen. Wal
bridge, both Democrats A. j. Williamson,
American. and Andrew j. l'leakley, Republican.
As matters now stand, Mr.. Sickes being the regu-
lar nominee Of his party, with the support OF the
Federal Executive, has apparently superior
chance Of success; bu. on the other hsnd, Gen.
Walbridge ia personally popular, and has, also, the
support Of the Fernando Wood men, WHO wish 10
repay Sickles for defeating Wood last Fall.
With tie Democracy thus divided, it is inexcusa-
ble that the OPP ,stion should not be united upon
some strong candidate, whose election. under such
circumstances, would be certain. 1t is moi too
late to fleet this object and we earnestly counsel
our friends, OF both branches Of the Opposition, to
make every effort to accomplish it.
We have thus impartiIIy stated the present
condition snd prospects Of the Congressional can
vass in this city. The sum Of il is, That instead Of
SIX members, oil elected as Buchanan rnsn' VA are
positively certain n-' ibere viii be- two oppo>ed 10
the Administration, and that third probably viii
be; while Of the remaining three districts our
chances are fair in two and even the third mas
be redeemed if suitable union of the Opposition
can be brought about.
