n. Y. Ere. Post says that Lincoln will
carry that State by from 5000 to 5000
majority-owing to the perfect union of
all the opposition forces there.
"A correspondent of the Tribune,
writing from Ohio, states that Lincoln
will carry that State by 10000 majority
over any man but Douglas, and by 10000
te $4,000 over the latter person. He
assigns as reason for this that the con-
servative vote II tho southern counties Of
the State Wlll all go for Lincoln, and
which could not have been controlled BY
Seward, Chase or Wade.
"A letter from Mason County iu Yir-
ginia, to the Tribune, says that the writer
knows between fifty and seventy FIVE peo-
pie IN his vicinity who are sure tp vote
for Lincoln and Hamiin. Considering
that in the last campaign there was not
vote cast there for Fremont, the ad-
vance is not small Mason County l.
situated on the Ohio river, Point Pleasant
being Its chief town. Like all the bor-
der counties Of the slave States, it is be-
coming Republicanized very fast, and will
exert happy Influence on the future of
Virginia, and Of the nation by Its rapid
liberal development.
The Illinois .State Journal, pub
Ii>hed ut Springfield, the home Of Lin
coin, says:
"The Democratic organs, The Register among
them, are so well satisfied that Mr.. Lincoln is
| TO be the next President Of the United States
| that they are already busily engaged arrang-
! ing his Cabinet. OF course all their specula-
tons are the merest guess work, but they arc
at least straws which 60 TO show it is the ex-
pectarion even of the Democracy that Mr.
Lincoln will have The naming Of the next
! Cabinet officers. These expectations will be
| fully verified in November next"
Gov Chase, of Ohio, thus emphati-
cally announces his satisfaction with the
Chicago Platform and nominations, in
speech at the ratification meeting held at
Columbus on the 23d ult:
"With the final choice of the Chicago Con-
vention am entirely satisfied. Every princ-
pie in that platform have publicly ayowcd
and advocated for many years and its dec
laratiens still meet With lny cordial concur
renee.
1T has baen said that the nomination of
certain candidates might have endangered
the success of the cause we all have SO
much at heart. God forbid that my nomina-
ton or that of any other man should imperil
the tIiumph OF Republican principles! Those
principles are dearer 10 me than all merely
personal considerations, and rejoice that, al
though | was not nominated, my principles
were and that they have so true and so faith
/ full representative III the coming contest as

The Hon. Simon Cameron. presided
at a ratification meeting in Harrisburg Oh
the evening of the 25th ult., aud on TAX
ing the chair, made speech in which,
while declaring that lie had hope for the
nomination Of Mr. Seward, described Mr.
Lincoln as a candidate less known III
public life, perhaps, but who, on all ec-
casions, when demands have been made
upon his zeal and patriotism, has borne
himself bravely and honorabl ly. In re-
gard TO the great interests Of Pennsylva-
MIA, the subject of protection to labor, his
record is clear, emphatic, and beyond
suspicion. lie will require no indor>e-
ment to convince the people Of Pennsyl-
vanla that their interests will be perfectly
secure in his hands. Himself a laborer
in early life, he has struggled with i'd
versity until he has reached the proud
position he now occupies, by the single
aid of strong purpose, seconded by an
unyielding viii and it is not 10 the
hearts OF Pennsylvanlans to doubt such
u man. The laboring men of this State
ever control the baIot-box when they arise
in the majesty of their strength. Let
them 90 to the election next Autumn,
and, while they are securing their own
interests, let tbem.elevate to the highest
place In their elective gift, Abraham Lin
coin, working man like themselves"
lis speech closed with the following
truthful assertion
| LET US remember when we go mp to this
coming battle with organized wrong and Off
sial corruption, that reoreant son Of Penn
syivania has brought this great shame upon
the country and now leads 'he way upon pop
ular rights and let the remembrance of this
fact nerve us in the purpose to crush out that
'nIbination which now wiedg the sword and
the purse, and thus redeem the good name of
our noble Commonwealth.
The question is now really between the
people and Gffice-hO hOlders---a set OF bad men
held together by the cohesive power of public
plumber now control tho Government They
a'e demoValized and their ranks are broken i
q ID we have only to be united, frm, and ac-
tive, to secure the victory"
Gov BANKS, of Massachusetts, pre-
sided at the Boston ratification meeting,
and made a speech in which he heartily
endorsed the platform and candidates
The proceedings of the meeting gave glo-
rious evidence of the entire and hearty
approval which the Republicans of
