TRUST TmR EMPIRE STATE!

Friends living remote from US write TO ask what is
the probability with regard to the result Of APP
preaching State Election. We answer specifically
and confidently.
At the last Pres Dental Election, the total yoto Of
our State was as follows:
Precedent Lincoln. ..369 7J5 Mcclellan. So. a56
Gorr.cr ... Fsnton. 3oas5r Seymour. osl. esi
H. Governor Alvord-. 80 365. Floyd Jones .36l sis
Mojorhe Lincoln. $40. Fenton. Ss)3; Alvord. T7l6
Gov. Fenton had the highest vote and the largest
majority of any man on either National or State
ticket. And his vote stands to this day the largest
ever cast for any one in this State for any Office what
ever.
At our Election last Fall tho vote stood
Sec Safs-Barow. .....3ol. o5j .e73 1873
Controlled .3oe fe3 Robinson ga, 81!
Maoritio-Bsrlow. q. 81; Hilhouse. 305T6.
We believe our majority was largely reduced in
1864 by foul play especially with the Soldiers votes
last Fall we poed rather more than our actual ma-
jorty because the Democratic managers undertook
to pow with strange heifers and 80 Disguised the
rank and file Of their party that thousands OF them
utterly refused to vote. If the same policy is per-
sisted in the disgust and diSaection will probably
be greater this year. The NcwYork Democracy are
rather hard on the bit and it will take some time to
reconcile them to tho leadership Of Weed, Raymond
and the ringer Of C. little bell" But on square
party issue, and full popular vote the Republican
Union majority in tao State is just about 90, 900.
We can overgo that figure ibis Fall and are deter
mined to do it. Never did the pulse of party beat
higher than does that of the Republicans of New
York to-day. The New-Orleans massacre. with the
nefarious means used to mislead the public mind
touching the facts and tho dispatches of Gen. Shor
40, haro al afa puhI;n indi which
sweeps all before it, IL the election we're next Tues
day, we should poll votes than we did last year;
with two months wherein to enighten aud arouse the
masses by publications and speeches, We can poll at
least 40 900 more votes than any party ever yet cast
in this State save 10 last Presidential election.
And lot mono fear that we shall not make proper
efforts throughout our State. We have Congress to
elect and we shall contest every district with des-
perate resolution. Where local strength is over
wheming We shall work for State ticket where we
arc relatively weak we shall fight to elect our Repre-
sentatiyes in Congress. We may lose one member
(gained in Ca By srse diyisions) in this City; We
confidently expect % gain three, and hope for four
elsewhere AU. s. Senator is at stake, aud we have
not the fsntest notion of losing him.
Our State Convention next week will be very strong
in numbers and character and its meeting and DELHI
erations will swell the enthusiasm already prevailing
We hal there take steps to secure thorough canvass
of our State from end TO end aud to call out our vote
to the utmost Recent acts Of our Legislature have
strengthened the h.pediments to Illegal Voting,
which operates sign. : TO our advantage II will be
Gar more difficult TO vote Often" or vote at all II
unqualified, than il ever yet has been. Our saving
by these acts must amount to several thousand votes
