aud coworker with the nominee of the First
district, III behalf Of the interests OF the lobby
When movements OF this kind are witnessed in
several parts OF the State, 1t is not to be won
d-red at that the professional lobby operators
are rejoicing over the prospects OF a thriving
business during the next session.
The Sixth or Move mber-The state OF New
York.
The 9th of November The near approach
Of that important day reduces this Presidential
contest to a very narrow margin of possibilities
All the probabilities are in favor of the conclu-
sion that on the morning of the 7th of
November the readers of the HERALD will be
apprised Of the triumph of the republican
party. Outside of New York, in all the North
ern States the battle has already been substan-
TALLY decided in their behalf In the late State
elections from Maine to Indiana II Lincoln is
to be defeated, it must be by the vote of New
York but here, too, the probabilities are all in
his favor. In a word, the late over whelming
State have been frittered away and it would
surprise neither the Douglas engineers, nor the
Breckenridge leaders nor the Bell Everett mana
gers, If Lincolns majority in New York should
prove the sagacity OF Mr.. Stewards calculations
From all appearances, the campaign in this
State, on the part of the forces opposed to
Lincoln, has been reduced to miserable que
rills warfare, in which the baggage and ammu-
milton wagons of the allies are more the
objects Of conflicting leaders and clques
than the defeat of their common enemy. Thus,
while there is show of nnion upon a com
Breckenridge democracy, their separate State
tickets, Congressional tickets and county tick
cts, and the bitter feuds which these conflicting
tickets have created in the general camp, pro-
mise anything but harmony aud good faith
upon the Presidential issue. The organs of
Mr.. Douglas charge that the Breckenridge fac
ton have fused upon the union electoral ticket
only that their weakness may not be exposed. A
similar spirit Of distrust exists on the other
side, and it is easy to conjecture, from the
manifestations Of this sort of brotherly love in
Pennsylvania, what will be the sequel in New
York.
From our inquiring correspondents in the in
terror We gather the opinion that notwithstand-
ing these intestine feuds and divisions among
the democracy, the State is still adrift and will
swing round in November to that side which,
in the interval, shall bring the heaviest weight
of metal to bear in material and financial
aid" Upon this point, however, from a glance
at the two leading organs at Albany
Of the contrasting parties on the Presidential
question, we can detect the overwhelming
drift of the tide. We take the test of the
campaigning work in progress on both Sides

This is the whole list of appointments given
on the conservative side. Now let us look at
the republican catalogue. The Albany journal
Of October 20 publishes q list Of campaign
meetings to be held at different times and
places In this State down to election day,
which comprehends the following speakers

is hardly hole or corner from which some re-

This exhibit on the republican side is per
fecty conclusive, contrasted with the meagre
company Of workers on The o.her side. II looks

V. johnson Fernando Wood and their assistants,
were merely employed tc cover the retreat Of the
conservative forces. We zee. too, from this
comparison q the strength Of the campaigning
orators On each side, that the republicans are
believers In the old maxim, that Providence
helps those who help themselves, and that they
are not waiting, like Micawber, for "some-
thing to turn up" In q word, the repub-
licans are an organized, drilled, disciplined aud
