THE VOTE or NEW YORK.
LtnceIn,s Election Certain.

1t is universally conceded that, unless
the vote OF New York can be turned sgains,
him, Lincein's election is inevitable. y
we can, then, satisfactorily show, IRON the
facts and circumstances bearing upon the
Ease, that the day has gone by for TIE re-
/ demption of New York. We settle all doubt 8
touching the issue Of this Presidential con-
test. This task we now take in hand. as a
simple matter of duty to our intelligent
readers, and as an act Of simple justice to
all parties concerned.
Our contemporaries in behalf of the Uni
on electoral ticket of this State are still
contending. from the results OF our elections
IN lS56-'57 $3.50. that there is a heavy
popular msjority still existing 10 the State
hostile to the Republican parry. We have
earnestly labored upon the same plausible
statistics to encourage the fusion of all the
conservative elements OF the Common
wealth against Lincoln. But, cafled to
take a dIspassionate view of the field. from
the suggestive results of these late Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana elections, we
discover that ali our statistics of preceding
elections, even as late as 1859, are worth
less, utterly worthless. Aud whereforef-
Simply because the disruption of the Dem
ocratic party has thrown the whole game
into the enemy's hands.
In the way OF illustration, let US take the
case of Pennsylvania. In 1856 her Presi-
dental vote, in round numbers, was thus
divided:
For Mr.. Buchanan naD............2 .230 200
For Mr.. Fillmore. OOO
Total anti Republican vote. -. .3l2.000
For Colonel Fremont, Republican. -l47 ,O6O
Maj. against the Republicans. i65 QUO
Now IN this late Pennsylvania election,
where there was every external appearance
of coalition between both factions of the
Democracy and the old line Fillmore
Wings and Americans upon Foster for Gov
rrnor, he should have been elected, accord.
ing to lhsss figures. by a splendid MAORI
ty, With liberal allowances to the Republi
cans for all drawbacks on the other side.
But look at the actual Official results, in
round numbers:
For Curtin, Republican. ......... 1862 900
For Foster, Union Democrat. .230 900
Republican majority ............. .32 ,OO0
Here we see that Foster, with all the eff
forts of the Democracy and the Bell Ever
EFT old line Wings and Americans, barely
reaches the Democratic vote for Mr. Buc.
hanan of 1856; while it is exceeded in the
vote for Carun by $4,000. These figures
are instructive. They exhibit revolution
in the popular vote which is perfectly as
founding, and which completely does away
with all our figures and statistics of prece.
ding elections.
Common Justice to all concerned de-
mands that this idea that something may
turn ny" to redeem New York should be
abandoued New York will vote for Lin
coin. and by larger msjnrity, we dare say
than any other State. Lincoln will be
elected. There is no use in mincing the
matter any longer. We are called upon to
look this thing full in the face. The best
that our Union forces can now do is to save
all the odds aud ends of the election with
in their reach, such as Congressman, AS
sembIymen and county officers. Lincoln
will be elected, and all parties concerned
may as well just now shape their course to
that event as to wait till the day after the
election
