The majority Of the union vote for Jones against
the republican vote for Leavenworth was only
some eighteen hundred; but there was def
cheney in the popular vote. as compared with
1856. Of $4,000. The republican deficiency was
only some $4,000. 80 that allowing this reserved
vote to the republicans, there was vote re-
served against them Of nearly 10000.
Thus. II appears that in our last November
election. making fair comparison between the
vote cast aud the vote Of 1885, there was vote
held in reserve. which, ifrendered In according
TO its party complexion, reduces the republican
party in this State to minority Of over $4,000.
Surely Bell, Douglas and Breckenridge COM
bined can retain this outstanding majority, es-
pecially when we consider that the ignominious
slaughtcr-house sacrifice Of W. II. Seward at
Chicago has alienated thousands OF men from
the republican cause In this state-thousands
Of old wings and republicans, and thousands OF
good Catholics whose hopes were centred upon
his nomination.
But how Is this combination electoral ticket
to be managed, 1t cannot be managed by the
silly stump politicians Of the Breckenridge and
Douglas factions, for they are no more disposed
TO suspend fighting each other than the Kilkenny
cats. But II may be managed by the powerful
commercial classes Of this metropolis, whose
business interests are 30 seriously involved in
this contest They could readily produce a
million Of money In behalf Of the combined
electoral ticket we have suggested. A State
convention OF each Of these parties concerned,
appointed at the same time and place, could ar
range the ticket II adopted, and successful,

With the disruption of the democratic party,
the only way in which Lincoln can be defeated
is by combination electoral ticket of the par
ties opposed'to him in the State of New York.
There is popular majority in this State OPP
posed to the republican party, and this majority,
upon joint stock electoral ticket in behalf of
Bell, Douglas and Breckenridge, may take away
the thirty five electoral votes Of New York from
Lincoln which will defeat him.
The whole electoral Of the Union ....... so
OF which the vote necessary to elect the President is
The vote Of the Southern States s............. IL
1t will thus be seen that while the Southern
addition to their strength of thirty-two votes
from the North, Lincoln may dispense with
thirty-one of the Northern electoral vote, and
still be elected. From the present complexion
of things he will not lose the thirty-two votes
necessary to defeat him, except with the loss of
New York. New York is thus the key of the
election.
In order to show that by combined opposi-
ton electoral ticket New York may be
carried against Lincoln, we turn to the
results Of several Of our late elections begin
ming with that Of 1856, which brought the re-
publican party into. the field. The popular vote

Characteristics or THE COMING CAMparGS.-
The action of the democracy at Baltimore makes
an entire and most important change in the ar
stead of being, as usual, pitched battle be-
tween two great parties, it is to be sort of que
rilla warfare between half dozen cliques repre-
scnted by no less than four candidates. with a
fair prospect for fifth. This multiplicity of
candidates complicates the game Of the poll
ticians very much, and they will need all their
skill wherewith to play it. We shall, therefore,
hear less of the personal merits or dement's of
the candidates, and fewer stories as to their
youthful peccadilloes or maturer sins. All the
nominees are now pretty well known to the
people, and the campaign must be fought on
the merits. The leaders will see the necessity
of extreme caution, as the field of battle cannot
be brought down to the limited space of one or
two doubtful States As matters stand now
nearly all the States are more or less
doubtful, and the result cannot be
predicted with anything like certainty or
even probability. The smallest accident may
turn the scale in the most unexpected direction.
So the battle will be one in which the best
tacticians and the finest strategists will have
the advantage. We can AN afford to look at 1t
with complacency. Out of the mouths Of
multitude of counsellors, saith the Scripture,
comes wisdom; and from among all these can
didates we shall be quite sure Of getting Pre-
sident. Meantime the country is safe, and even
prospers in the face of the ruin which the poll
ticians predict. The only real sufferers we
know of are the camp followers. who are good
deal puzzled to ascertain under which banner
they should enlist in order to be sure Of
chance at the spells of victory.

PARTY CONTESTS IN ENoLASD-The resistance
offered to Lord John Russells Reform bill by
the rump of the old wing party, in combination
with the Dcrbyites, has compelled its with
drawal for the present session. This, with the
defeat Of the Chancellor Of the Exchequer's pro-
position for the abolition of the paper duty, will
probably lead to a fresh organization Of the
Manchester league and a series Of violent de-
monstrations against the enemies Of popular
rights The opposition think they have accom-
plished triumph in the defeat Of these two
measures: but before Parliament meets again
they will have discovered their mistake. The
postponement of the concessions demanded Of
them will only increase the amount they will
ultimately have to yield. They can no more
avoid cheap press and the extension Of the
franchise than they can set bounds TO the march
Of public opinion. Should they be infatuated
enough to perseverc in their resistance to them
the effect will be to virtually throw the govern
ment into the hands Of the Manchester men, for
no Ministry will be able to retain power for
single month without their support. As the re-
suit Of their labors during the present session.

own future exclusion from office and the early

Df Suckley also observes US follows in
regard TO hegmain Columbia On the
Columbia, tetTeen the mouths Of The Snake
and DechuteS rivers, distance OF about
three hundred and fifty miles, there are bat
three obstacles to navigation for steamboats,
drawing twenty to thirty inches. The priA-
cipal Of these are the Priests aud Buck,
lands Rapids. These might probably be
locked, or SO modified by art as to render
them passable BY steamboat or other
craft"
Although wood does not grow on the
immediate banks of the Columbia, from the
Dallcs 10 the mouth of the Wcnatschapan,
there will be no difficulty in rafting it down
the river for the use of steamers and in
deed good supply could Je picked up
from the drift which is found along the
shore on tue subsideuce Of the annual
freshet Above the mouth Of the Wenats-
chapan, wood grows in large quantities;
aud the main ColuWbia is excellent for
railing purposes. Wood could also be
RATED down the main Yakima to the Co.
lumbia during the, season Of the spring
Ereshets.
Considering, therefore, that steamers
have been for years running on the Colum-
as far as the DalleS, that oae is about be-
ing put on from the Dalles to Fort Walla
Walla, and that to get continuous naviga'
ton to Colville, Improvements have only to
be made at three points, viz; Priests Rap

of being u river nayigdbIe for steamers;

Looking TO Clark's Fork and to COlville,

MARINE pIsAsTER-CoLLlsIoS OF TWO YES
sELs.--The bark Nahumkeag Capt. Reed,
and which vessel is well known coaster,
sailed about eleven O'clock, A. NJ, in ballast,
for Puget Sound She left her moorings
with spanking breeze filling her fore-top-
sail and jih, and so favorable was the wind
considered that the spanker WINS SCI, and
the vessel sped galIantly ont on her way to
the heads When about half way across
the bay, the wind suddenly failed, and the
captain Of the Nahumkeag found himself
so near the Freaeh ship Colbert, Captain
Dumont, that it MSS found impracticable to
bring up the former by letting the anchor
go, the tide being at its ebb, and running
at mil-race rate. Two of the seamen oi
the Colbert were at the wheel, and they
were hailed by 10 boaiman who happened
TO be on board the other vessel, and told
to put the helm Of the Colbert "hard a
por',' which would have prevented col
lision. This, however, they failed to do,
and the consequence was that the bowsprt
of the Colbert got foul Of the head stays
Of the Nahumkrag, aud as the latter DRIFT
ed with the tide, her foremast and maiu-
royalmast were carried away aud fell over
her side, causing loss Of about $1,000, and
neeessitating her to delay Of at least a
week in port The steam-tng Diana, in
charge of Captain Harrison, was coming
in from the leads about the time Of the
disaster, and toward the bark into the
wharf at the foot of Folsom street, where
she will be repaired The damage done to
the Colbert amounted only TO the breaking
Of her jib-boom aud tearing away some ol
her rigging, and can probably be made
good for the sum of $l00. The latter was
towed into port by the steam tug Colum
bia. Fortunately, and strangely, too, by
the way, no lives were lost, nor was any Que
even injured by the accident. Captain
Reed, Of the Nahumkeag, has never met
with any accident before, and is not cousid
cred to be to blame in the affair, which Is
