There are four organised psrtiss and
six different candidates in the 6eld for
the Presidency, and W, il must b. appas.
cnt 70 every INTEL gent observer. u any
party or faction. that for oil practical
purposes the contest il to-day narrowed
down 10 Lincoln ard Breckenridge. Were
T the Presidential election to come Of to-
morrow, it is morally certain that Lin.
coin would carry every Northern State,
from Msine to Minnesota. thus giving
him l7e electoral votes, OF twenty-five
more than a majority of ,bc whole slseto
ra vote OF the Union.
Such is clearly The commanding posi-.

The plurality Of Mr. Buchanan over The
republican vote was over 81, 600, and his
majority over the vote Of both wings u
the opposition united was COT. Since

test of 1851, the local elections Of Penn

the Chicago ticket requires ~ ssppor'
tiers everywhere 70 range themselves
under the republican tag. Thus the op
position elements Of Pennsyivsnia. which
have been working together since 1857,
are again divided into two campo. the
Lincoln camp and the Bell camp. Taking
the vote Of 1853 ~ our guide, and allow
ing that half the Fillmore vote Of that
year has gone over 10 the rspu blicans,
