Since the result Of tho election has been
announced the Democratic managers claim Pos''irsly

The flct that a snakes tail will continue It's
oscillations after his head has been cut clean OF,
receives fresh illustration in the above. Let us
bring few indsputable returns to bear upon
this preposterous calculations:
NEw-YoRK at her last State election gave the
candidates on her Union State Ticket maiorities
ranging from -, $50 up to 90, Gas, in total Of
6O2, $40 votes. Then, her citizens Who were ab-
sent from The State in the military or naval SER
vice Of their country, could not vote; now they
can-a change which must add not less than
Twenty Thousand TO the Union majority. Docs
any one believe that our side has lost Thirty
Thousand votes in our State since last Noyembcr7
Who knows of o dozen changes against Us
Who does not know Of changes in our favor
Manifestly. the vote Of New-YorA Is as sure for,
Lincoln RS anything future well can be; and his
majority is likely to exceed rather than fall be-
low that of 1860, which was Fifty Thousand. Ya
lake Ne,c- York atone ont Of The abor, list Of Nc
Cieiiap States, AMI you eieci Lincoln.
CONNECTICUT went orr way last April by
-, 53S TO -, OJ0--majority Ji,-, or about eight
votes TO seven. The Opposition might have
done better than this had they put forth their
best e1ertons-haYe done (they claim) better in
tho late township elections. Yet they. eS well
as We know that they viii be beaten in Novem-
Der on the Home vote, while that OF the Soldiers
will add Five Thousand TO Lincolns majority.
They have no more shadow OF chance here
than in Maine; and will act accordingly.
ISDIASA has just given tie largest Lincoln
majority she ever gave 10 any party or
ticket-giyen il after a spirited canvass and on
very full vote. In October, le60, she gave
Gen. III. 5. Lane for Governor 1857 majority,
which she increased in November to ., "a for
Lincoln over Douglas; but Lncoln's majority
over the combined vote OF the three pro-slavery
candidates was but 1923. Two years ago, this
State went against us by 9,5i3: yet she has
now given some -, 600 majority for Gov. Nor
ton with net gaia of four Representatives in
Congress. Is there on tho face Of this wide
earth a man VINO can read who believes that
ladiana will turn another someuault within al
month-that her Lincoln majority I'll 10000 in
October will be wiped out AMI reversed in
November We say no man can believe it;
and, when Gen. McClellan's supporters find it
necessary to claim Indiana, they virtually give
up the contest.
ILLINOIS is under Ike influences with Indians,
and will vote Accordingly.
CALIFORNIA first voted last year on fair
square issue between the "Unon" and the
" Democratic parties, and thus gsve 6i,in
Union to ll,7l5 Democratic" votes for
GoyernOr-Union majority, 1872; the Union
vote being nearly three-lllhs OF the whole.
Livery indication argues that the Union party Isl
at least rs strong now as then, and viii choose
Lincoln electors by over 10000 majority.
ORrsoS voted last June QeGi), cectinr Hen-
dcrson (Union) 10 Congress by 500 votes to
1896 Tor Kelly, Democrat. Whoever CUES 'es
thai she cen DO induced 10 reverse ibis judg-
men;, is maniicstly no Yankee.
Having thus disposed Of - vi the llO votes
claimed for Mcclellan, We might proceed with
this expose; but why should wei Is it not
already palpable that the supporters OF McClel-
Ian knctc they have no chance
