The Prospect stu Frightening.
latest news from the East promises
. permanent union Of all parties in New
York opposed to the election Of Lincoln.
A meeting has been held in New York
city, composed Of representatives Of all
the opposing parties to sectionalism, in
which an agreement was made between
them to divide the Electoral ticket accor-
ding to the estimated strength OF each
party. There is little doubt that this
union will prove to be thorough, in which
event Lincoln's defeat is placed beyond a
peradventure. Such an arrangement, lift
docs not secure Mr.. Breckinridge's elec-
tiOn, by the popular vote, of which we
feel confident, will prevent its being cast
for the Black Republican candidate, when
there will be chance OF choice for the
Presidency devOlving upon the House Of
Representatives.
Should the election 60 to the House,
no one can have any doubts as to the re.
suit there. Mr.. Breckenridge will receive
the vote Of the majority Of the States on
the first ballot
1t is conceded by leading journals Of the
East, in the interest of Lincoln, that 1877
Of the votes will be against Lincoln in the
lectoral College. These 127 votes are to
be cast by the fifteen Southern States,
which have 100, and California and Ore
gon, which have7. 1t will be remembered
that II requires 162 votes to elect The
loss Of Pennsylvania, which has 27 votes,
to Lincoln, will ensure his defeat. Even
il Lincoln should carry IlIinois.and Indi.
ana, which he is by no means certain to
do, be must also carry New York, or he
will be defeated. If he carry New York
and Pennsylvania and lose Indiana. ILL
nOis and New Jersey, then also he will be
defeated. Indeed, the States of Illinois
and Indiana are counted upon by many to
be as certain against Lincoln as any of the
fifteen Southern States. All the parties
in New Jersey opposed to the Black Re-
publicans, have united in SO far that the
name Of one particular Elector is to be
upon the respective ticket of each party
in which case il is claimed such Elector
will be elected by $4,000. This one vote
added to that Of Illinois and Indiana, will
defeat Lincoln. Thus, it will be observed,
that It is now generally admitted by all
pasties that the election of Lincoln is re.
duced to on imposSibility.
In some Of the Southern States, Ten.
neSsee, for instance, we learn Of Douglas
Electors abandoning his cause as hopeless,
and coming out hat-footed for Breckin.
ridge. Alabama will 60 10000 majority
for Breckenridge and Lane. North Caro-
lima, Virginia, Texas Louisiana, in fact
all the Southern States, promise to roll up
q similar vote in November next. The
whole South, from present indications,
will present an undivided front in the con-
test, while it is confidently claimed that
many Of the conservative States, North of
MasOn's and Dixon's line, will rally to the
rescue Of the Union and the Constitution.
The Black Republicans have conceded
the election Of Foster, in Pennsylvania,
by an overwhelming majority, as a fore.
gone conclusion. Indeed, the news from
all quarters of the country is most cheer
ing to the Democracy. Every click of
the telegraph serve only to reaSsure US in
our expectation Of glorious triumph for
our party, and complete and thorough
vindieatiOn Of the eternal principles upon
which it is based. The conservative
masses, North as well as South, are enlist
ing in the contest on the side Of the only
party by whose success the Union can be
preserved. The tide of popular feeling
has commenced to flow in the right direc.
ton, and will continue to flow until the
last vestige Of Black Republican sectional.
ism and Douglas mobocracy is swept from
the land. Let our brethren throughout
the State liit up their voices with one &C.
cord and rejoice, fOrthe day of redemp.
ton from the dangers which encompass
this fair country, at the hands OF bigotry,
intolerance, fanaticism and demagoguism
is at hand.
