n1n in the strong Republican district which

Lincoln AID uamlin will have the largest ma |
jari.y ever given to any candidates.
The adjoining districts have generally been
Democratic. bu. last year one Of them elected
Scranton and another elected Hale to Congress.
They will probably ba bush again returned.
The Democracy are hope'essly divided. Judge
Douglas will be left greatly behind Breckih-
ridge nearly all the strong Democratic coun.
ties, aad ia the State will fall far short Of him.
Bell aad Everett have no strength. All the a'
portabt leading Fillmore men are for Lincoln,
and the triumph Of the Republican party over
all the factions opposad to it, will be most orer-
whelmi5g The Peoples party are essentially
uoitea upon Lincoln. TIE snti-Lec'mpton

so blended with the Republican party for the

drawn back to the hopeless support of Douglas.
You mar ho aasused that whatever the result
of the Uc:ober election, The State is safe for
Lucola aad llatnlin in November. There is
trescnt prospect tia: Curtin will carry the
State By 1urge majority, although the Demo-
Gratis unite upon Foster, aud TINT they will do
So is most probable. Gen. Foster has about
non. .con.mittalism enough in his character to
enable him to speak kindly to both factions OF
