'lf this calculation he fair one, II Is impossible for
hcCedon TO lose ihe state
Let us dissect the above RoDrblck:-
l. The counties OF Orange, Columbia and
Rensselaer, set down "certuu' 10 give
Mcclellan 440O majority These counties gave
an aggregate majority tor LlncUn IN 1860 Ot BIG,
which they incrta,ed last tat 10 46l for Me-
Depew, who headed the Uui0u STATE 1. .kct. Thoy
will not now give 1000 maJIuty ei her way, bat
our friends 10 each county expect 20 carry it, and
we do not doubt that ttey VII together give a
small majority Tor Lmcolu.
Kings county, 1aSe 400 mnjority against Lin
coin, which Wus reduced Iast ttii 10 1913 against
Depew, Our frisnds expect TO wipe ou. ,he balance
4 this tall, and viii do it uueos deea ed Oy unss'iS
p factory local nomination.. 1t cs,nuCt give 20OO
against us, uulCss by fraud
The rest Of the counties on the bDve list will
probably 90 AGAINST us by about half the mai ri

less than half those majOritirs QuseDs may give
1000, though she did not in go, nor yet In o. and
will not now If our frieLds get their tall vote,
including the soldiers Tui- city is full OF south
ern refugees OF lteOel pTucvites, every On5 of
whom who Cen vote ut all will VOC the Chicago
ticket, and they may roll up the majority against
us 10 10000; but II the voc should DC restricted
to those who are properly rcsiIens Ot oar city, II
cannot cXcetd d % COO.
IL A word, now. as TO the ifercryS foolish
whopper that "Mr. Lincoln will try and keep the
army Ia motion Til after election, 80 tnat the
bows shall have no chance to vote at alt"
l. No single State, having Mcclellan or
Democratic Legislature, has ever yet enabled its
soldiers in service 10 vote at all. Inc late Legis.

Illinois strongly ID tmOcratc; nut neither of
them could bo induc d To eXleud tde righr OF sut
frage 10 soldicTs--to their soldiers. Do yOH sup
pose thcy so acted without Knowing that those
soldiers were mainly agans' jhenf
2. In no single instance have the soldiers of
any Stae given an anti Lin'sl IN ij0riy. Here
and there, a regiment may have done (Sud IN y

for the Lincoln tickets, Aud IN no Instance have
fe heard even q complaint that the soldiers, or
any sOlCier, did not vote exactly as they or he
.chose 20 do. Now IL the opposition have never
yet enRb'ed the soldiers tO vote in any single
State II no county or t. ynship bat such as are
strongly Democratic ever yet gave majority
against allowing the soldiers to vote, while old
Berks and other slch Democratic strOngholds
have given large maioritie against it-snd it the
Democratic party never yet obtained even one
third Of the soldiers vote from any State that has
allowed hem to vote, is Il probable that theJ are
now about TO receive nearly the whole Of Il;
3. No amount Of marching will deprive the
soldiers of this State of their right to vote be-
caus they send their votes home whenever they

III. Bets are poor arguments; yet they are bet
ter than lies. And it is notorious fact that the
McClellanies here about do not want to bet. Fo
instance, we stated two weeks agO-in repelling
false impulation by the RedaHg Gosette-that w
happened to know man who wanted to be
100000, in sums of $1,000 10 $1,000, that Abra
ham Lincoln would be chosen President for thu
ensuing term. In other times, we should have
had fifty inquiries within twenty.four hours FOL

no McClelante has asked for II. II any ShOUlr

Now 1t may indicate simply an improved
moral sense H. our CoppeThead neighbors tina
hey decline betting; if so, we rejoice over it mos
heartily. We respect them the more for not bet
tiDg-respect not only their morality but the
sagacty-stll, it is o notorious fact that they d.
', not want to bet on either Mcclellan OF Seymour
and that The M,Tcwty's brag is foolish They
have the same objections to betting that they haC
last year, and did not have the year before. Ant
in this they are every way right.
