OF the O;.ober electors the New York Herald has
the following summing up. Ia remarks possess greatly
Increased force since the more resent SUCCESSES:
The results OF cur late elections in the great States Of
PtnasylvaniA, Ohio, aud Indiana have taken all Es'tiss
by ~sarprise. Look, for example, at the representatives
slec 81 from these States TO the next as compared with
those Of the present Congress. o; compare all the dec
tions thus far made to the mex. Congress with the rep
reservation in the lst Of the several SAtes concerned,
and max hos bread and comprehensive il the resc.on

party
