POLITICAL IsrELLIGENcE.

We spoke the other day Of the cheering po |
ntical prospects, and particularly noted the
signs OF the times as indicated in the North. |

ccnsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, and Kan
sRs. The opinions then expressed are more
than verified by later intelligence from the
Geld.
The means Of judging the public sentiment
OF the country from this stand d-point-from
these headquarters, so to ssy-are ample. They
never were so much 90 as they are now. The
Union Congressional Committee daily receives
buRhels Of letters, and they come from all parts
OF the country, from almost every county in
every loyal State, and from those parts Of
rebeldom which have been reclaimed by our
gallant armies. They almost all tell the same
story-that of encourage tment and enthusiasm.
The tide seems to be setting all one way, and
with resIstless power.
It might seem, at this stage Of the game,
quite supernuous to give details of the good
political news coming in, but We will bc ex-
cused for stating briefly the summings-up,
especially for the benedt of the many thousand
soldiers who read the REPUBLICAN.
NEW ENGLAND.
II Is all going one way in New England.
The aggregate Union majority in "Yankee
land" par ercelIees, will not be less than
200 900. 1t is much more likely TO go over
these figures than under them. The excellent
Baille fsrvie spoke of the highlands Of Scot
land, (which 1t would tire the very deevil'
wings to fee to the top o." We suspect cop
psrhead arithmetics will give out without get
ting TO the end Of New England Lincoln ma
Jorities this year.
NEW YORK.
Mcclellan has, perhaps, more persona
strength In New York than In any other State
But the opposition has more dead weight u
carry there than in any other State. The Woo
brothers are heavy fellows. Respectable pee
pie can endure association with them only upo
free applications OF hartshorn and cologne
water. Then Seymour is unpopular, Will
Fenton Is most justly popular In all parts O
the State. The Union electoral and coDgres
sioual tickets are unusually strong, as is tn
estate ticket" and prodigious deal Of effect
i've work Is being done. We do not see hov
the majority for Lincoln can be whitfield dow
TO less than $4,000.
NEW JERSEY.
We do not know but George Francis Trai
was right In telling Mcclellan that he woul
not even carry New Jersey. At any rate, tn
Union Leagues have been better organized an
are now better organized in New Jersey tina
elsewhere. We do not claim the State, b.
shall not give 1t up till it has been officially al
nounced.
PENSsrLvANIA.
A letter from Simon Cameron says; "Pen
sylvsnia will give a good account Of berse
on the % Tuesday Of October" No doubt
1t. We shall gain tome members Of CoDgres
and very largely in the popular vote. NJ
Lincoln will probably get q larger MAORI
in Pennsylvania than In any other State, thoug
tho race in this respect will be tight betwee
her, Massachusetts and Ohio.
DELAWARE.
Little Delaware Is sure 70 go right by quite
handsome majority for so small State. NJ
smithers, representative In Congress and ca
dIdate for re election, is making a thorouI
canvass. Others are on the stump, and h
right result is not doubted.
MARYLAND.
Perhaps the most interesting campaign an
where going on, is that in Maryland, where
great deal more than an ordinary election
pending, to wit the adoption or rejection
free constitution. 1t looks as though 4
free state men would have things pretty mu,
their own way, except in one coDgression
district. The eloquent Henry Winter Davis

But enough. 1t Is certain the prospe
everywhere Is bright. 1t could hardly be mo
encouraging. From Maine to California com
the same good news, amounting to the joyi
phrase-ALL IS WELL.
