THE pRospEol' IN NEW YORK.

From che Tribune
We are often asked, "Wha. is the prospect in
New York; Is it certain Tor Lincoln Can Soy
mour be reelected T. sc. Those who insult us
~ asking for our prjra,e opinion are few. and
serve no answer, but those whD ask respect
ly are entitled to an answer which we can
o tier give them collectively than otherwise. 1t
I as follows -
The vote in New York at the last four State
EelectiCns has been csss as follows
1860. LiEcOn..... 1852 Gi6 Fusiln,,... .3l2, so
Lincoln majority, 80, 49,
sol. Dickinson. .29j,809 Champlan. 1888
Union majority, l07,2iS.
ls62' "adswoTih, 295,o0l soym9ur.... .5OG,6i9
SeymOut's majority, l0,7J2.
1868 Depow. ."3l43F St. john. .2Bl 0l2
Union majority, 20,4Oj.
These are official returns, about which there can
be no disputes and they show that the vote for
/ Lincoln in 1860 was fifty thousand highar tb,n
any adverse vote ever p1lled -he having received
NEARLY seven Votei for every six cast inst him
(SoymOur, though successful In 1862, received
nearly eight thousand less than were nOlled for
the Union ticket last fan, when no Prlsi1ent.
IGeyernOT or Represent lt,ycs in Congress were to
lbe chosen, but he received nearly Six thousand
ilees than the fusion vo.c for President in 1860.
The vote for lincoln RI 1880 having been hgty
Thousand higher thaO VA. ever pJ'lel Ia the Strata
'the question OF our trends amounts 20 this -
IDoes Lincoln stand iiity thousand votes worse in
four State than he did In 1860
y Now, there b We been changes either way; but.
NO far as we can ascertain, there have been az
east four changes 20 Lincoln for every one against
laim. Among those 20 him, every tongue readily
Instances Daniel S. Dickinson, Lyman Tremain.
Francis b. Cutting, Moses Taylor Colonel A. NJ.
ZWood (MGyOr of Brooklyn) John A. GrsWold
SRepresentative in the present COngtess), Ed
5Fards Pierrepont, Francis Larkin, &c. &c. We
Y Yight fill page of manuscript with the names of
Lew Workers who opposed Lincoln in 1860, and
low support him, every one OF which would be
recognized as that Of an eminently respected and
Influential citizen.
OF course there have been changes the othe
lyayi but how many? We could not name a
LOzen who could : We doubt that any man In
lhe state could instance a dozen changes against
Lincoln of Now Yorkers whom he would pro.
lounce qualified for the Office Of Justice of the
Peace.
Now, then, when we say that we think Lin
oln's majority In this State will be larger in 1854
han II was In 1860, we deduce from vel, under
TOOd premises conclusion that no one can fairly
,eem eNtrayagant or unwarranted, We assert
aat the notable changes TO Lincoln are at leas.
Aour 70 one of those against Lincoln. Hence we
Nudge that his majority must be increased. How
Mud we reach an opposite conclusion 7
fDoubtless, the preponderance OF naturalizatlons
largely against U.S. but We believe there have
cen fewer naturalized since 1850 than were In
nat single year. Doubtless, we have lost and
jce losing more than our adYersarles by death on
1e battlefield or in hospital; but then the pre-
onderanee OF native voters coming of age is
rongly on our side. In time Of war, the young
fen naturally attach themselves TO the national
