Election Prophecies.

WAsHIsoros, July %.
The intelligence received here at Repub-
lican headquarters during the past two
weeks enables me TO give you the following
representations as to the result Of the cleo
ton in November next. Owing to certain
local causes, the majority for the Republican
candidate for Governor of Maine will not i'm
September exceed five or six thousand votes,
which, however, will be trebled in November
for Lincoln. New Hampshire, Vermont and
Massachusetts, are unquestionably reliable
for Lincoln by very large msjorites. Rhode
Island and Connecticut will 20 decisiv ely for
Lincoln--the difficulties of last Spring hav-
ing been entirely removed. Fernando Wood
will have 80 much TO attend to at homo that

cut, as be did last April and the Repub-
Leans feel sure OF carrying the State by not
less than 1900 majority. You can safely
put down New York as one OF the most GER
tain States for Lincoln. The Douglas popu-
larity there 10 all myth. In no State are
the Republicans better organized than in the
Empire State, and they are prepared TO Garry
it whether the Opposition agree upon com
mon Electoral ticket or not. Pennsylvania
will give Lincoln about Is 900 majority, the
Tariff Issue having swept the Democracy out
OF existence while in New Jersey the same
question will exercise . potential influence.
From the West the accounts are most cheer
ing. Ohio is regarded as reliable BY an in .
creased majority. Lane is expected TO sweep
Indiana by 10000 in October, and Illinois 10
regarded as sure for Lincoln by very large
majority, on account of the Breckenridge
and Douglas quarrels in the interesting re-.
gion known as Egypt. The Bell and Everett
diversion, it is conjeotured, will help Lin
coin in that State, the bulk Of that party
having sustained Douglas in 1858. Con.
corning Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Michigan, no doubts are expressed. The
circumstances under which Douglas was
nominated have paralyxed the efforts Of biz
friends in those States where, il he had beer
regularly nominated, bic name would have
had some weight 10 Missouri, Kentucky
Maryland and other Southern States, Lincolr
will receive sufficient number Of votes Il
relieve him from the charge OF ctionalism
From all this information gather the i'm
portant fact that Lincoln will be elected
despite any combinations that can be mad,
against him.-[Cor. Gin. Gas.
