Estimate OF a Catholic Journal.
The zeal with which the Catholic journals are
advocating the election Of Ar. Douglas, may be
inferred from the following estimate Of his
strength by the Frfensans Journal, the organ
of Archbishop 1ughea:
"The electoral rote Of New York will be cast
for Mr.. Douglass Such is the confident opin-
ion Of every intelligent Democrat we have seen
or heard FROM from the interior Of this State.
We find that even we have under.estimated the
popular strength OF Judge Douglas in the Nortt
1t Ia now not altogether unlikely to give him
:;tates that We had supposed hopeless as
Massachusetts itself III regard to another class
Of States, we believe ne may also have under.
MARYLAND, Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky
aud Tennessee were al! sure to 10 for Bell and
Everett. One thing we have been sure Of, ard
that is, that not one Of this tier of States will
cast single electoral vote for BFeck,nridge.
The candidate of Secessionism and Disuniob
has scarcely more chance or carrying single
one of tie States named than III. Lincoln has.
But it il far from 30 certain as We had thought
that Bell and Everett will receive the votes o1
alt Of them. The National Democracy are max.
ing gallant fight for Douglas in Kentucky az d
it looks as it be might carry that State in No.
vember. The Disunionist boilers, On the other
hsnd, are not likely to get the electoral vote o.
a single State anywhere for Breckiorldge il
November. Mississippi Was the State whers
they had the most chance, and We see from
Satchez and other papers that they are likely tt
bs whipped there again.
