Ey- The evidence is cumulative that
the Breckenridge men in Ohio and Indiana
voted the black republican ticket at the
recent elections. A gentleman of Ohio
of the highest integrity writes as follows
in private letter: "The Buchanan
Breckenridge party voted the black repub-
lican ticket in Ohio and Indiana. l have
their printed ticket with our candidates
stricken off and the republicans put on,
and the ticket headed democratic ticket.
In Toledo got those tickets from their
men. The ticket was got up in the post
Office by Gen. Hunt, Judge Petit, and
johnson. 1t was printed in the office
of the Toledo Blade republican,, and
voted early in the morning everywhere.
This is the Maine game played over.
l told our friends that this would be the
case, and they have watched for it, and
detected the whole thing. Orders from
Washington did the business"

Ey- Fourteen thousand negroes voted
the black republican ticket in Ohio at the
late election, under the decision of Judge
Brinkerhoff. This accounts for the ma
jority, which is only twelve thousand.-
1t seems that majority of the white men
preferred the democratic ticket, and, had
they alone voted, it would have been
elected by two thousand majority.

- In the "Ottawa Douglas Legion"
which appeared in the grand torchlight
procession at Chicago on Friday night,
there were six men who belonged to the
Ottawa Wide-Awakes, and marched in
the Seward procession on the Tuesday
night previous. Disguised with the
black republican performance, and dissat-
isfed with the specious sophistrics of Mr..
Seward, they came out from the foul par
ty upon their arrival home, and joined
the ranks of the democracy.

From the Albany Atlas a Argus.
New York the Battle Ground.


PENNsYLvANIA.-It is no time to pre-
dict, but the advices are cheering, none
more so than the respondent tone of the
-hHas Dc Argus of yesterday. Pennsyl
vania is to good degree the battle
ground.-Befalo Com. ADJ.
We never suffer ourselves to deceive
our friends by holding forth false hopes.
To us Pennsylvania presented no encour-
aging aspect, look at it from any point of
view. The opponents of Lincoln had all
the scattered element Of strength, but
neither the skill nor the will to combine
them. The councils of the democracy
were perplexed by the sinister intrigues
of treacherous men; and the best endeay-
ors of our friends were made to work at
cross purposes. Time will right ALL this;
and when the people are permitted 10
speak their minds, Pennsylvania will re-
sumo her place in the Democratic ranks.
In the present crisis, as things are sit
uated, Pennsylvania could neither help
nor hurt the cause, except by the moral
influence of her attitude. But as her
present position is the result Of intrigue
and not of popular convictions, it is of
but little moment elsewhere than within
its own boundaries. We looked to these
September elections 10 redeem Congress
from black republicanism, and that they
have already made sure. Their influence
upon the Presidential election was less
important.
We have felt from the beginning that
New York is the battle groundl We do
not deprecate any result which narrows
the contest TO this arena. SO far from
shrinking from the responsibility, we court
it. We challange it and go forward to
meet it.
Without the 35 votes OF New York,
Lincoln is as hopelessly beaten as though
the whole Union was arraycd against him,
and Peliou upon Ossa was piled upon his
political tomb. The republicans feel this,
and it embitters all their rejoicings. The
thirty-fvo votes of New York stand like
skeleton at the feast, mockiDg at those
who would rejoice. Even in the midst of
its typographical Civilizations over the fall
lacious demonstrations in Pennsylvania
and Ohio, the Journal pauses desperate
ly to cypher Lincoln into the Presidency
through the House of Representatives by
the votes of Americans and Democrats
New York then, is the battlefield
Our opponents realize this as well as we
do, and are preparing all their artillery
for the contest. Democrats of New York,
be not unprepared 10 meet them Let
every day and every hour be devoted to
arming and consolidating our forces, and
seizing the vantage grounds of BATTLE
Not moment is TO be lost; not an effort
spared. The eyes, hopes, the intent SYM
pathies of the Democracy of he Union
are concentrated here. Democrats Of New
York, on to the battle! On TO the Vic
tory!
