THE BATTLE IN NEW YoRK.--The New York
World (Republican) says:
Strong as the Republicans thought themselves
Two months ago, they are now beginning to see
that the New York election is to be of the most
hotly contested ever known in the State, and that
they must not any longer rest their hopes of sue
cess on the divisions and weakness of the enemy.
WASHINGTON, Oct 1l.-Wm. Fl. Seward has de-
clared that Lincoln will, if elected to the Presi-
dental chair, Immediately issue an address to the
people Of the United States setting forth his views
Of public policy, more especially in relation to the
institutions of the South In this way Lincoln
hopes to quiet the fears of the South, and to pre-
vent the secession of single State.

The BeEverett people of Vermont have put
their electoral ticket in the field, and are now
ready for the November campaign. How many
of the old Wings they can reclaim from the black
standard remains to be seen. Some of the abest
OF the former Webster men are at the head Of the
new organization, and good deal is expected Of
them. [Boston Post
A GREAT MEETING TO CoME orr. Our Breck-

chanan, Joseph Lane, Esq, the Prince of Whales,

OF course something less than million of persons

good time of it. central Enquirer.
FLUTTERING AMONG THE PIGEoSs.-The Messrs.
Stephens (Alex. Fl. and Lnton) addressed mass
meeting of the Cherokee Democracy, at Dalton, on
the 20th ult. From the fury into which they have
thrown the Times, of that city, a Breckinrdge or
gan, we infer that sad havoc made in the ranks
of the seceders.

FOURTH LOCAL ELECTION IN ILLINOIS. The fourth
election which has been held in Illinois since the
opening of the present campaign, says the Chicago
Times, has resulted in the choice of a Democratic
Mayor, George H. Buck, for the city of Lasalle, in
the Republican county of Lasalle, by l75 majority.
The whole Democratic ticket, with the exception
of one Alderman, was elected by like majority.
We learn from the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle that
the Hon. Henry w. Hilliard, Of Alabama, spoke
last week at Macon and Columbus, on his return
from the North He stated that he was originally
a Breckenridge man, and would now support him if
there was any chance of his election; but in an
emergency like this when protection u is not
necessary, by the confession Of the Breckenridge
men, and the Republicans are marching in solid
column to secure the Administration, he feels
called upon to sink the partisan and go for his
whole country. He had travelled extensively
North, and had come to the conclusion that there
is no hope of eecting either Mr.. Breckinridge or
Mr.. Douglas. "#.--me
Ion," the Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, writes as follows:
The TTninn demonstration in Ney York
would, undoubtedly, be productive of much good
at the coming Presidential election, were the indi
cations in Pennsylvania of more favorable nature.
The keystone Of the Federal arch has dropped out
Of its place. but it is to be hoped that it is not too
late for New York to repair it. 1t may be hoped,
at least that some Democratic members of Con
gress may be gained both in Pennsylvania and
New York. If So and there really should be a
Lincoln Administration, it will be in minority in
both Houses of the next Congress.
Mr.. Lincoln, should he be elected, will have to
encounter very formidable opposition from the
commencement of his Administration, and his bit
terest foes will now be found among the disap-
pointed members of his own party. The north
west undoubtedly presents an unbroken black
Republican front. 1t is alleged by Douglas men
that the friends of the Administration in Indiana
have held back from the polls at the election yes
terday in conformity with prior determination.
On the other hand Douglas men are charged with
aiding Curtins election in Pennsylvania. The
Democratic feud certainly did not assist in the OPP
position to Lincoln, hut if Lincoln has majority
of voters in all the Northern States, democratic
harmony will not prevent his election.
Pennsylvania acts under different impulses of
political nature from those that control New York.
In Pennsylvania the people are crazy about pro-
tective tariff. Hence the Republican gains in Allie
gheny county. The Administration has also been
rendered unpopular there. New York is more
Influenced by other considerations and particu-
larly by the contest for local as well as federal
power and spoils.
