The Election in New York.
At the late election in New York, two,
and probably three Of the Democratic can
dictates en- the State ticket were elected,
much to the chargrin and modification of
the Republican press, who take no pains to
conceal their disappointment. They had
contended with great warmth that New
York was Republican over all opposition, and
ridiculed the idea that Democrat stood the
least chance of an election, and yet, after
ALL they had to eat their own words. They
now feel that New York is not so much Re-
publican but that it may be conquered by
the Democracy. and that in 1860 the chan
ces are even that the Empire State" will
cast its electoral vote for the rominee Of
the Charleston Convention. The bare idea
sends tremor through the Republican or
ganization that no amount of 'whstled up
courage" can disguise. And no wonder-for
it is very plain proposition, that if the
electora! vote Of New York is given to the
Democratic nominee, it secures his election
beyond paradventure, if he does not get an,
other northern State The Republicans I'M
derstand this proposition full well, and feel
that the late result in New York is the pre-
cursor of second great defeat awaiting
them in the coming year.
Although New York is the only northern
State necessary to Lave to elect Democrat
ic President, yet its loss does not necessari-
w encompass his defeat; fol without it we
can look with considerable confidence to
California Oregon, Illinois, Indiana, and
New Jersey, as giving vote large enough
to ensure aa election with the electoral vote
of the South.
This certainly places the Democracy on
the vantage ground, and gives them cause
to be of good cheer for the result-at the
same time it is dispirting to the Republicans,
and fills them with gloomy forebodngs.
