..E-E...... from the ". L. Herald, lstn.l
The results Of the Maine September State
election strongly foreshadow the triumph Of
the Republicans in the great national contest
Of November. The chances for Lincoln's
defeat are reduced to very narrow margin.
Vermont and Maine have settled the question
for the New England States. There is no
hopes for the Union conservative forces in that
quarter. Nor can we give them any encour-
agement from the recent popular campaign
ing demonstrations of the great West. From
Ohio to Minnesota the swarming professions
Of the flag of Lincoln seems to be carrying
everything before them. The States which
may defeat him are Pennsylvania, New Jer.
sey and New York, but it is probable that
upon New York alone the whole weight Of
the battle may depend.
New York nd Pennsylvania, with or with
out fusion Of the factions opposed to Repub.
licanism, are rs certain for Lincoln as Yer
mont. New Jersey can be dispensed with,
and still Lincoln would be elected but even
New Jersey will aid in swelling his majority.

factions which it represents, might as well
make up their minds to the inevitable result

From the above the estimate for 1860 is
deduced: taking ] 81 acres, being the increase
of improved land for each farmer from 1856
to 1858, or "a acres per annurn, we have
an aggregate increased breadth of improved
land for 1860, Of / 1888, 900 acres, which ad-
ded to 8, 100, 436 in 1858, gives us the prob
able, or at least possible number of acres Of
improved land in 1860, Of 4,442, 436. This
would be nearly 4O3 acres to essh farmer,
estimating the increase Of farmers at but T.
900 per annuin since 1858, which gives us
100000 farmers to prepare for the crops Of
1860. This estimate is not too large, when
We take into consideration the large number
