PROSPECTS OF THE NATIONAL
UNIONISTs.
The New York Times, which supports the
RepublicaRticket has the following in re-
lation TO. the condition Of affairs in that
great State:
The Democrats are much more sanguine
of electing Mr.. HOFFMAN than they were
fortnight ago. The number of names regis
tered already indicates a vote in the city
which will approach, IL it does not exceed,
hundred thousand; and this in fact Is re-
garded as favorable 10 a very heavy Demo-
cratic majority here. A very strong effort
has also been made 10 array the entire
hquor-dealing vote, and especially the Ger
man lager beer interest, on the Democratic
side TheeXisting license-law is sweepingly
condemned even by that very large class of
respectable and responsible dealers to whom
il is Of decided advantage, and as IL was en-
acted by Republican Legislature il is easy
10 excite hostility 10 the Republican party
on account Of IT, The naturalization COM
mittees of the Democratic party are also
very active, and naturalizing and registering
n very heavy vote, in addition TO what has
been hitherto cast.

party in this city, and the exclusion of all
who declined 10 accept the creed Of political

somewhat injuriously felt IL is perfectly
well understood now that this was trick
intended solely TO secure Congressional nomi-
nations in certain districts,-as for example
the sixth; and Committees were empowered,
80 far as a State Convention could empower
them. 90 purge the party Of all who would
not vote as required in electing the nomina-
ting conventions, by making new enroll

tended result was that two or three ultra
Radicals in each ward made up the Repub.

traitors and renegades everybody whom they
chose 10 consider 'unsound' This was
very naturally and very properly regarded
hv The great body Of Republican electors as
an arbitrary and utterly unwarranted at
tempt 20 create a Ht,C party, ane they have
accordingly gone on under the old organiza-
tion, precisely as if nothing Of the kind had
been attempted.
This state Of things can scarcely fail 20
affect somewhat seriously the Republican
vote Of the city, as very many Of those ex-
cluded by this new and arbitrary attempt at
recognizing the party will not recognize it
bv supporting its nominees. Perhaps as
their main object is supposed 70 have been
already accomplished, the State committee
might wisely intcrpose with the tardy exer-
else OF a little liherality in the matter.
In the interior OF the State the Republi-
can organization is vigorous and its efforts
effective. The vote viii be large, and the

pearances. 70 overcome what is likely 10 be
the Democratic preponderance in this city.
The Republican committees cannot be too
active and energetic. They must not make
the mistake Of being oyer-conident Of the
