Republican parties, they argue that they must

how else can they do at ali! Let us look at the
facts
In 1856 this State polled very nearly Six Humid
red Thousand votes for President, divided as fol-

Fremont. .|IO,UUi buchauan -lSJ, 90

Fremont over Buchanan -..............SO,1 29
Buchanan and Fillmore over Fremont "A Az
SupposDg that 1900 voters that supported
Fremont are now for Fusion aud only 5000 who
suppol ted Buchanan are now for Lincoln Though
We believe the chaOges as between the two leading
parties are at least even if lot favorable to our
side), Lincoln must have jus; One-quaJter of the
Fillmore vote to make the State sure for him.
Can any one doubt that more 'han one quarter
of the Fillmore vote of our State will be given TO
Lincoln
or the journals in this State which supported
Fillmore in sc, majority are now ardently for
Lincoln, including The Buffalo Commercial Adoer-
tiser, the Oldest and most Influential amOOg them.
The American stroDghods in Sc we're the Counties
Of Albany Rensselaer,, Ulster, Sullivan, Erie,
Queens, Kings, Suffolk, ROckand, Richmond, and
New-YOrk. In these counties, taken together, We
think the vote for Lincoln will fully double that for
Fremont Ulster aud Sullivan in SO each gave Fill
more heavier vote than either Fremont or Buchan-
an we shall be sOrely dssppOited if they do not give
Lincoln more than double Ere nOnt's vote. This
City gave Fremont IL III votes; she will give Lin
coln more than double that number. We cannot
doubt, from all we see and hear, that fully Fifty
Thousand voters who supported Fillmore in '56
will low support Lincoln and Hamln, and that not
more than that number of the I24 900 who voted
for Fillmore will vote in this State for FUSION
death and removals accounting for the odd Twenty
four Thousand.
But let US look moment at last years canvass
and its lessons:
The American" managers made no distinctive
State nominations, but made up State ticket
selected L" halfand half from the Republican and
Democratic tickets respectively. This of course
obtained many more votes than could have been
won for a purely Democratic ticket or an avowedly
anti Republican Fusion ticket The managers
called upon all Americans to so vote as to manifest
their ability to hold the " balance OF Power'-to
break the states" and elect the best men OF the
diverse parties. The Republican candidates on
the American" ticket were elected by over Forty
FIVE Thousand majority, while the Democratic
candidates on the same were not all elected, and
did not in the average have 900 majority. Barely
On re than IInlf Million votes were polej, leav-
Ing one Hundred and Fifty thousand more to be
