TUESDAY, NOVEMBER |. 1871.
A GLANCE AT THE political HORo
SCOPE.


R0thschilds, has issued an address to the
people of the United States. The object Of
such document is apparently twofold. First.
10 announce the astonishing fact that the
Union party has given up all hopes Of clectng
ia candidates. Which Is declared in the
statement that "Its 1.-THE Administration's)
open completely in acts of fraud and yio- |
lence ia full confession that ABRAHAM |
aLrNooLS's reelection cannot be accom- |
pllshed by an honest appeal to the uubought |
viii Of nation Of freemen." And, secondly |
to INFORM the Democratic party that it is |
sure OF carrying the States of New Hamp. |
sAre, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New Jer- |
sey. New York, Delaware, Maryland Ken |
tucky Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana |
California, aud Oregon.
In case OF all these sanguine hopes of the |
Democracy being realized, they would receive |
one hundred and ffty-two electoral votes, or
thirty-fve more than is sufficient to elect their
Candidates.
Now we propose to examine into the truth
Of these assertions, and see whether the States
shove named are likely to cast their votes in
the manner stated.
We would first, however, distinctly deny the
statement that the Union men have no hopes
OF electing their candidates, and supply in its
place their positive declaration that they not
only expect, but also intend to place in the
Presidential chair the honest aud patriotic
ABRAHAM LINCOLN. 1t is necessary, in the
present desperate state Of the Democratic
party, TO utter words OF cheer to the rank and
Gle; and If such hope can be procured by
making false declarations as to the sentiment
Of the opposite party, neither AuGUsr BEL
MONT or any of his coadjutors are too moral
or 100 truthful to hesitate to employ the
device.
Having thus corrected Mr.. BELMONT as to
the sentiments of the Union party, we viii
proceed to bring forward a few statistics to
SHOW Tor which party certain commonwealth
viii vote. In all our statements we use off,
CiSl figures, and 'hgures, you know, cannot
lie" In order to predict the failure Of the
Democratic party, 1t is only necessary to show
loss Of thirty-six votes, because such loss
would give a majority for LINCOLN and
liberty.
The address says :--"Beyond peradventure
q "a the result in the Empire State, in Penn
ssylvania, and New Jersey. The Keystont
EState redeemed herself in October in No
vember she Wal lead the redemption Of tn
nation In this we perfectly concur "Ih
Keystone State did redeem herself in Octo
ber." and we doubt not that she oW leat
the nation in November.
The receipt of the votes of her gallant sol
der sons has decided where the old Key
stone viii be found. Two out Of every three
of her gallant sons have voted for the Union
and majority of twelve thousand six hundred
and nfty-eight has swept into oblivion tht
bcasted victory Of sit, claimed in the State oI
the falsely called "home vote" There is N
such distinction as the soldier and home vote
Pennsylvania's sons each casts his ballot, an
majority decides where the State shall stand
And a majority has decided in favor of
vigorous prosecution Of the war, and oppose
to a disgraceiul armistice. Can BEIMON
expect that her soldiers will vote otherWis
next week? If he does he win end hmse
deceived. Those who fight for the Unio
will vote tor the Union. So strike out of you
ejaculation, Mr.. BELMoNT, the twenty-si
electoral votes of Pennsylvania.
Let us look at New York The only aGgu
mel advanced in favor OF the theory that th
Empire State will vote for Peace at an
price" Is that her delegates TO Chicago vote
In favor Of nominating MCCLELLAN, therefor
the State will vote for the nominees suppyrtn
by the Democratic delegates. This stat,

loss Of thirty three votes from Che one hun

But we must hasten,
Ia i8i the State Of Michigan gave o. m
ioiity OF nearly eight thousand for the Unic
candidates. This did not Include the soldier
vote, which viii largely increase the maiorit
tits year.
California gave a.Union majority Of twent
thousand in 1868, and although the Suprem
Court will not allow the soldiers to vote, Oh
majority will still remain over seventeen thol
sand for the cause Of Union and Liberty.
And finally, little Oregon, few montt
since, elected Mr.. HENDERsoN, Unionist,
Congress by nearly two-thrd vote, and wi
undoubtedly give an equally large mJorit
for LINCOLN and JOHNSON.
