Fremont, 276007 Buchanan, 1876 lss Fillmore 124 6o4
The BucLaIan and Fillmore vote added lct Fremont ia
minority Of Al a75 thus allowing the vote in 1860 N b.
he in 1856 with the Buchanan and Fillmore
orces united on common ticket, Lincoln would lose
he State by upwards Of a GOO Wherein is this vote to
be ohapged Ia the first place the aggregate vote is not
broken bead pulpit preaching and general derium do
not combine TO swell the vote TO an unwonted proper
ton On the contrary the feeling quite below the
pected PITCH particularly with the republicans To
fu observers cloud, perhaps not larger than mans
hand is creeping their hitherto unobscured
prospects Without doubt the proposed alliance OF the
opposition coupled with recent movements, has given
them apprehension The conclusion is therefore, that
the republican vote will be less in 1860 than in 1856
How Is the opposition or Union democratic vote TO be
Affected On general ncpes may conclude that the
proposed alliance will lend degree Of vigor 10 the eau.
vass which nothing else could, because II would be
prompted by well grc ntod hopes Of carrying the State
every trial since 1866, the democratic vote has been
increased, and that OF the republicans decreased II is
conceded TACT that in New York, well in the other
cities large towns and villages, the democratic vote
Is contiuua!Y increasing from natural causes. No
similar causes have operated on the republican vote,
which is principally in tho rural districts Ii Is there
fore safe to conclude that the democratic vote will have
Increased duriog the last IL known 10 have done
previous years, notwithstanding there may be falling off
IL the aggregate Of the Siate,he falling off being
from the republicans.
Ii 1869 the Utica ticket received 81 900 more votes
than cast In the State for Buchanan IN 1856 of
which increase the Ameri contributed probably
less than 10000 Assuming that not less than two thirds
Tor 90 900 more than supported tho Utica tck Of the
Fillmore vote in 1856 w! support the all u electoral
tcRet tue Democratic vote IN New lOk IN 1870 &tl be
sos 00o or 80 900 than Fremont received IN 1866
The assumption that at least two thirds Of the Fillmore
vote will thus be cast is based the best information
that can be obtained and believed TO be quite within
the mark.
1hus infer that there more than chance for taking
New York from Mr. Lincoln, and thereby taking the
election to the House, where, q everybody must
coGcede there Will be at least chance for Mr. Bell Mr.
Everett becoming Prcsident-thc very chance which Me-
James H. Putnam and other converts 20 Mr. Lincoln
only - see 10 make tbem supporters OF Mr. Bell, who in
reality, they declare is their choice.
II is this very chance for Bell that s going TO give i'm
petus 10 the movements in this State, which have
adv cast shadow over the republican prospect,
and which, within the last ten days, have lent
new life as well new prospect TO the canvass
In New York As this chance becomes more apparent
as assuredly mustwe may expect thousands who have
hitherto remained undecided taking side against Lncoln
Mr. Putnam, and those other Sc Fillmore men who arc
now supporting Lincoln must, II they honest, aban-
don him and into the alliance II is ind sputablo
ct that within the last ten days change has
the Presidential! prospect in New York. and,
QueDcc, IN the country.
