A REPUBLICAN TRIUMPH CONCEDED
Tho New York Herald, the editor OF which
paper has no particular desire for the success
of the Repubiican ticket, is nevertheless can
did enough TO admit that the signs Of the
times point inevitably TO such result. In
view of the late elections in Kentucky, Mis-
souy; and North Carolina, the Herald says
As the battle stands, these southern elections hav-
inq settled il that the Douglas ticket will be the fourth
and not the third the list, the chances are that the
Douglas party n the North may prefer TO let Lincoln
election by default rather than play any longer into
the hands OF breckenridge ana bc; 20 ons ~ e lc,

crn balance of power encouraged the Douglas men 10
combinations in New York, Pennsylvania, &c, with
Bc and Breckenridge, whereby Mr. Douglas might pos
shy seventeen out of the thirty two Northern
electoral votes necessary TO throw the election into the
House

After thus making candid survey Of the
political field, the Hrad comes to the con-
clusion that nothing can prevent the election
Of Lincoln and Hamlin by the people but
"tho withdrawal of all the tickets opposed to
Lincoln, and the nomination, by and with the
advice and consent Of all the parties and can
didatos concerned, of a common compromise

the Herald says further, "ln default Of some
such prompt, combined and comprehensive
action among his opponents, Lincoln's cleo

Tho New York correspondent Of the Char

hopeful over the fusion prospects in his State.
