The November Election.
From the New York World

The result OF the elections in Pcnnsrl-
vania, Ohio and Indiana, as wei is ,he
recent town vote in Connecticut. settles
the question that the polt;c.l tide =. an-
ming heavily against the Administrator.
All the gain is on the side Of the Dem
ocratc party, and now that the current
has fairly set in Il viii move wijh ae.ei-
Grated force up to the time the Aoyem0er
vote IS taken. The present Is 4 good ,lae
therefore, TO present some estimates of the
probable result in the several States when
the Presidential vote Is taken
The whole number Of votes in thc ciec-
toral college (not counting Tcnne>,ce or
Louisiana) IS two hundred and thiriy-one.
ofwhich one hundred and sixteen are re
qlired to SiTe a clear majority and clcct q
President. Now, can Gen. Mcclellan g.
cure one hundred and sixteen votes! ~
thlnh-nay, re are sure, he can aAd vii;
and We give &c followin: estimates - th.
basis Of the faith that is in Us:
STATES CERTAIN To vorE ron 81 cLErIAS.
Caliioania.. a..........5 Missouri. ..ll
Delaware e........3 3 New Jersey. . :
= a. =
Kentucky ......... IL Pennsylvania. %
haryI2nd ........ OREGON. )
Minnesota. 4
But the administration may put forci-
hlestop TO elections in Missouri, Kentucky
Maryland and Delaware: 50 it becomes a
question whether there are not some other
States which viii probably vote the Dem
ocratic ticket That there are such VIII
be seen by the following list:
STATES waIcIs WILL PROBABLY VOTE FOR M'cLELLAx
Connecticut Rhode Island. .. G
Indiana. a.............l3 West Virginia. )
Michigan. an............. { Wise ,nsin.. :
New Hampshire. ....... 5

sTAT1s WHICH NAY &C FOR LINCOLN.
Michigan. ............s Rhode Island. -.
New Hampshire. .......5 Wisconsin. s
Wet Virginia ......
I Ohio. o.................2l Total. 81
1t will thus be seen that if Lincoln car
ries the doubtful Republican, az well as
the certain Republican States, he will still
fall far short Of the needed l6 votes
1t is easy dem9nstrahlc that the same
pcsc.atagt o. increase Of this fall vote in
Connecticut, Pennsylvania. and Ohio as
compared with last year. will give us all
the States in November, save these indi-
Gated above as being certain TO Lincoln
Although in all human probability Gen.
Mcclellan will be honestly elected Prcsi-
dent on the Stk of Noycmber next, still
there is so large margin of doubt, that
Democrats can not afford to consider the
matter settled. All hands must turn to
and work mith VIII in the brief three
weeks before US. democratic speakers
must be stirrinc and conservative presses
must multiply their issues. One earnest
and determined effort will make the assu-
rance OF victory l;oublv sure.
