Republican Prospects.
That Lincoln will be elected, we believe for
the following reasons which are conclusive
He will carry all New England. The re-

claimed by the Douglasites, is decisive as to
the verdict of that State. In Connecticut,
the bogus Democracy have split almost thro'
the middle Of the old organization. The
Douglas men have a simon-pure national
Democratic ticket in the field, and the Brock.
inridgers have another of the same sort
Their battle is fierce and bitter. Mr.. Lin
coins plurality will not be less than 10000.
In Rhode Island, there is no contest. ME
Douglas friends there admit that Lincoln will
receive the vote of the State; the lies told
here about Democratic prospects there are
laughed at where the truth is known. In
New York, all attempts to fuse the opposition
into one mass have hopelessly failed The
conflict, as in Connecticut, is irrepressible
and the State is given up to the Republicans.
The pro-Slavery men, but for the disastrous
effect of the confession in Pennsylvania and
Indiana, would acknowledge the truth and
retire from the field. There is no more doubt of
the vote Of New York than that of Vermont,
She will 60 for Lincoln by an unprecedented
majority. In Pennsylvania, the show Of a
contest is still kept up by Mr. Douglas friends,
not with the expectation of carrying the State
against Lincoln, but in the hope Of electing
Foster, the coalition nominee for Governor,
and saving two or three congressman in the
doubtful districts. That Curtin. the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor, will succeed, by
decisive majority, appears to be foregone
conclusion His opponents are securing the
streets of New York, Washington and Balti-
more for the funds necessary to defeat the
peoples choice; but they are not successful
in finding anybody who has any interest in
the local politics of State, that will impel the
sending of material aid to that quarter Well
informed Republicans say that the majority
for Curtin will not be less than 10000, al
though his opponent is sustained by both
wings of the Democracy. We believe their
calculations to be correct. If they are, Lin
coin will get plurality of 60, 900, because in
November the opposing factions will vote,
each it's own electoral ticket. He will carry
the State in any event New Jersey is more
doubtful; but our Eastern friends are not at
all apprehensivc of the loss Of our ticket there
The contest is keen and exciting, but all the
advantages are with the Republicans We
have little doubt of their ability to overcome
united opposition-none whatever that they
will utterly ovcrwhelm that opposition divid-
ed and encountered in detail Ohio and
Michigan are conceded to the Republicans on
all hands. No pro-slavery man has the au-
dacity to claim either for Bell, Breckenridge
or Douglas. Indiana is clos-ly fought but
only on the State ticket The fate OF that is
to be- decided On the 9th of October. Hen
bricks, the proslavery man, has the support
of an united party and portion Of Bells
friends; but in spite of the coalition, we are
assured by the best informed politicians in
the Stale that Lane and all the Republican
nominees will succeed. They have canvassed
the State thoroughly and faithfully, and adj
hitting larger majorities in the pro-slavery
counties than the pro-slavery men claim, and
making liberal deduction from the antici-
pated majorities in the Republican counties,
then the Republican triumph will be express
ed by figures representing more than 5000.
In November four electoral tickets will be
run. Lincoln will have clear majority over
ALL and majority over the highest of 90
600 to 100000 votes. Mark the prediction
We need not tell our readers that we have
assurances from all parts of Illinois, which
convince us that Douglas will be beaten full

A clean working majority in each House is
