The fact that New York is necessary to
the + dsionists-that since their utter tout
in Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Ohio, they
cannot do without it's somehow argued
from by them as though it gave them some
sort of prospect or hope, or chance, OF car
rying it. They proceed on much the same
basis with the dOg-selleF who justified his
warranty of piece of four footed merchan-
disc as a good sheep-dog on the ground that
he had been tried at everything else and
failed, and that, as nothing was ever made
in vain, he must be good sheep-dog. Since
they have hopelessly lost Pennsylvania,
where Buchanan beat Fremont by more
than $4,000 majority, and Indiana, where
Buchanan beat Fremont by "A, 600 MAORI
ty, and Ohio, where Buchanan and Fillmore
together beat Fremont over 10000, but
which Judge Brinkerhoff, an advanced aud
speciously obnoxious Republican, has jest
carried by more than 10000 over Smith,
supported by a perfect Fusion of all the
anti Republican parties, they argue that
they must somehow do great deal better
in New York-for how else can they do at
all Let us look at the facts.
In 1856 this State polled very nearly Six
Hundred Thousand votes for President,
divided as follows
Fremont .27G. COZ Buchanan .-...I95 57s
Fillmore....-.............I24,6 C4
Fremont over Buchanan ,I2b
Buchanan and Fillmore over Fremont. A ,475
Surprising that 5000 voters that sup
ported Fremont are now. for Fusion, and
only 5000 who supported Buchanan are
for Lincoln Though we believe the changes
as between the two leading parties are at
least even If not favorable TO our side(, Lin
coin must have just one quarter of the Fill
more vote to make the State sure for him.
Can any one doubt that more than one
quarter of the Fillmore vote Of our State
will be given to Lincoln?

ardently for Lincoln, including The Buffalo

influential among them. The American

taken together, We think the vote for Lin.
coin will fully double that for. Fremont
Ulster and Sullivan in st each gave Fill
more heavier vote than either Fremont oil
Buchanan we shall be sorely disappointed
| if they do not give Lincoln more than
double Fremonts vote. This City gave
Fremont Ii III votes she will give Lin
coin more than double that number. We
cannot doubt, from all we see and hear, thai
fully Fifty Thousand voters who supported
Fillmore in Sc will now support Lincoln
and Hamln, and that not more than tha
number of the I24, 900 who voted for Fill
