The Union Tieket-Its Great Strength.

The New York Herald, one Of the
shrewdest calculators Of political contingent
cies in the journalistic world. thus exhibits
by figures the superip, chances Of the u
Mon ticket.
As long as their Democracy were unit
the strength in the Southern States was al
most impregnable. But now that the party
is split into two factions the case il differ
ent, and few facts and figures will demon
stra,e how formidable in the South the o.
mon or Opposition ticktt Of Bell and Ever
EFT is likely 10 prove in the coming Presi-
DENTAL cam paign. To the democracy .hs
only States shat can be conceded Certain
are three, Mississippi, South Carolina ard
Arkansas. Not one of the twelve States
can be relied upon.
In Tirgiala, in the East election for Gov
erBor, the numbers stood for The Democrat,
70, l24; for the Opposition, 7l,543. Di-
vide. the Democracy between Breckenridge
and Douglas-no matter how unsquslly-
and there is an easy victory for Bell.
In Kentucky, at the last election for Gov
eTHor, the numbers were for the Democra.
ey rs 628, for the Opposition, 67,445.-
Divide the Democracy and what become,
Of the hopes Of either Of its candidates in
that Sta,es
In NORTH Carolina, the figures stood in
he last election for Governor--Demoerai
Sc, 222, Opposition candidate $685.
Here there is respectable majority of &c.
PSI but divide the Democratic strength
between Douglas and Breckenridge aud is
it;not plain that Bell will be the viotsr2
In Tennessee, the Democratic majority is
much smaller. Al the last election for
Governor the Democrats polled 6,093; the
Opposition candidate, 67,042. This gives
majority Of over 5000, which would van.
ish into thin air when two Democratic can
d!3ates CONS into the arena.
4, the last election in Delawarc, the num-
bers stood 1868 against 7,i52. Who does
rot see that with two democratic candidates
IN the field, the Opposition ticket mus! BE-
elected by large plurality?
IL -I1rylGnd the Opposition had ma
jori,y at The last election, and the votes
countsda as follow':-Opposition, 46,l4lj
Democratic, 38,6S2. l. the majority agaihs,
The Democracy here likely 10 be reduced
when Breckenridge and Douglas divide the
Democratic forces between them?
In 7eras, too, the Opposition defested
he Democracy, at the last election. Sam
Honston's majority being 500. What
prospect is there now Of eiecIiug Demo
crat in that State?
Ia Georgia, the vote for the Democratic
Governor was 63 S0G, for the Opposition
42.lg5. But divide 800 into nearly
equal parts, and each will fall far short Of
~ coo.
IA Louisiasa, the vote was "a ,434 for
the Democrats, and 1887 for the Opposi-
ton But the half of 24,O00 is less than
$4,000; and taking into consideration The
vigor with which Soule and his friends will
prosecute the campaign, il is more than
probable that Do1gas will get from ten 10
twelve thousand votes.
Il. alabama there was no opposition,
properly SO called; but the regular Demo-
cra. was elected by 10000 majority over
the FIRE eater. Lei three candidates appear
in the field, and who can name the winning
msn?
Ia Florida The numbers stood at last e.
lection for Governor, Democrat 50lS, OPP
csition 1925. Divided the Democratic
strength in nearly equal portions and The
Opposition obtains the plurality.
at the last election for Governor in His
souri,, the Democratic candidate poiled A.
9Sj, the Opposition, 1925: Let The De-
Inoeraey be divided between ivy tickets in
this stale, and the electoral ticket of Bell
is sure TO triumph. 1t is true the opposi.
ton consists partly of Republicans; but out
OF 81. Louis, they have no strength, and the
great body Of The Opposition will certainly
go for the Union ticket.
Thus it is hard 10 say in which Of these
Twelve States the Democracy can be sue
cessTui; and what Is the most disheartening
fertures in The dark prospects is, that the
Democratic candidate who is likely TO poll
most votes ct the North will poll lsas, OF
South; in fact will not carry one ELECTORAL
vote beyond Mason and Dixon's line.
There is, therefore. political revolution at
hand, which will scatter the Democracy
like chaff before the wind. Had there
been two Democratic candidates in the field
in the Presidential struggle of 1856 sim-
isr result would nave happened. Thanks
70 the Albany Regency and their reiainers,
The same men who defeated the Democracy
IN lS4S, By running second Democratic
tieket, the Democratic party has been pre-.
cipitated 10 its doom, and the opposition par
ty OF the South will takes its place on the
4lh of March next; either at the White
House, or as the opposition.,,o triumphant
Black Republicani:m, which if Lincoln is
elected. will be duly installed a, the Capt.
tcl OF Washington, without finger being
raised against il, whatever the Tire Eater.
may now say TO the contrary.
