MAJORITY AGAINST LINCOLN IN New YoRK.
The New York Journal of Commerce publishes the
estimated votes Of the counties of New York.
which exhibit an available majority for the Union
ticket These estimates, says the Journal, were
| made by Republican and Democratic statisticians.
| Entirely independent of each other, without |
| consultation and with expectation that they
| would ever be made public, there is remarkable
| agreement between them, the figures Tor several
| Of the counties being precisely alike IN both
| tables.

4 Senator IyerHon, Of Georgia. has published
letter declaring that any Southern man who would
accept Office from Republican President ought
to be condemned and ostracised BY universal pub
lie sentiment, and that he would vote against the
confirmation Of every Southern nominee.
"TnArs THE TALK.i'-A Bell-EVerett " Union
ist = in Cecil county, Md, says the Mobile Tribune,
writes to assure that we are mistaken in our
supposition that Lincoln will poll large vote in
that State. He adds:
Let your Corwins and Stevenses and G. NJ. Clays
| come into Maryland if they dare, and will insure
them most excellent coating Of tar and feathers,
and a good number of rail-rides. We are deter
mined to put Abolitionism down. and will leave no
stone unturned to accomplish this object
TIE PRosPEcr.-A Southern gentleman lately
travelling in New York, entertaining the belief thai
Lincoln will be defeated in New York, says:
From what Democratic candidate for Congress
stated predict the defeat OF Lincoln IN the state
ofwNew York. HI says that thousands OF old
/ Democrats and Wings are deserving the Repub-
cans with whom, Of late years. they have beer
c0operatinr and now that the country is in danger
| thew are going for Union men and measures. The
| excitement seems to be very great, ana lt is eVl
dent that many are beginning to believe that tho
Southern heart Is fired, and the country VIII no
| long survive unless the waves of fanaticism art
driven back.
THE TRUE CouRsE.-We have received lette
from the son Of venerable subscriber in one o
the neighboring counties Of this State who ha
been patron Of this paper for more than halt
century, and like all the old men, who know wha
il cost to build up this confederated Republic, is il
favor of the Union cause. Speaking Of him, tn
The old gentleman now in his s5th year, ha
been paying subscriber to your paper SINCE II
foundation. He takes warm interest in the SUI
cess Of the Union ticket and highly relishes til
zeaIan ability which you display in behalf Of tn
good cause"
Referring to the sentiment in his neighborhoot
and expressing his own views, the worthy son {
such sire, proceeds:
know of several Democrats in my immediat
vicinity who will support Bell and Everett, an
also few who will vote for Douglas; but the Leaf
ers in the county are in favor of Breckinrdge, an
are exerting themselves very much in his behal
have prepared the people TO vote for the stronge
ie- man, to beat Lincoln, if they could only decit
who he is-bnt each party claims the aseen
ency they are at d loss what to do. My rule
to do What | conscientousy believe to be rig
and leave consequences to a higher power
10 which VIC may only add, that the man wi
acts upon this principle will never be tar wrong.

Our distinguished townsman, G. A. Henry,

lican organ, having published few days age
malicious statement to the effect that Amos

Governor, furnished John Brown with funds to

THE SUGGESTION MEETS FAyoR.-Many of
-, calm and dispassionate men of the Democr
sAi party seeing the folly which animates the lead
are seriously pondering the only remedy lef
save the country from further agitation, and tha
to withdraw both the Douglas and Breckinr
!. tickets and let the contest be narrowed dow
Bell and Everett on one side, and Lincoln and
lin on the other.
We feel safe in the assertion that thousand
good Democratic citizens of the country, who
neither honors profit from the Governm
riding would be gratfied to see both Douglas and Br
inrdge withdrawn. 1t is sure way to defeat
Northern agtators. Sound policy, patriot
