Thus it will be perceived that in these seven
counties the reported actual majorities for
Curtin, the republican candidate for Governor,
exceed, by three thousand, the estimates Of the
republicans upon which they footed up ma
jority in the State of twenty thousand. On the
other hand, it appears that Fosters majority in
Philadelphia, from the returns reported, is be-
tween four and Eve thousand. which is some
two or three thousand better than the repub-
lican estimate. But, almost without an excep-
ton, where the first reports of an important
election indicate a decisive revolutionary re-
suit in political affairs it is safe to conclude
that the popular majority will be increased
rather than diminished by the full returns
We shall therefore experience no surprise
the majority for Curtin in Pennsylvania
should exceed fifteen, twenty, or even twenty
Eve thousand. At all events, enough is known
TO enable MS to form final opinion with re-
gard to the vote Of Pennsylvania in November.
1t will be Lincoln. The hopes Of the conserva-
tves now rest upon New York. They have a
majority in this State against the revolutionary
anti slavery crusade Of the republican party of
at least fifty thousand. A few days will deter
mine whether 1t is to be mustered into solid
column OF FILTERED away.
We have no satisfactory returns at hand
from Ohio, Indiana, Iowa or Minnesota, at the
time of closing these remarks; but, from the
results in Pennsylvania, 1t is probable that the
whole brunt of the battle now rests upon New
York.
