Preparations for the Funeral Of
the Democracy!
MAINE.

MAINE.
The earthquake in Maine has overthrown and
destroyed the Democratic columns in that State,
brought the rebel hordes throughout the coun-
try to their knees, and inspired the Boys in Blue
Chairman OF the Republican Executive Com
mittee, telegraphs that the Republican majority
will be increased to 10000 in November.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
The campaign in New Hampshire has just
opened. Their conventions were recently held,
and popular men have been placed upon the Re-
publican ticket The State election was held in
March last, when the Republicans reelected
Governor Hartman by 2 ,51s majority, decrease
of 52S from the preceding year. The boys are
beginning to prepare for the conflict, and soon
the granite hills will ring with cheers for Grant
and Colfax.
VERMONT.
Old NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. old rebel-hating Yer
mont-has had one shot at the enemy, and given
him staggering blow plump between the eyes.
She promises to follow it up with at least 81 900
majority for Grant and Colfax in November. The
of preparation are again heard, and within two
weeks meetings will be held in every county in
the State.
MASSACHUSETTS.
The organization of Grant and Colfax clubs
has been effected throughout this State during
the past month, and now that the State ticket
has been completed by the nomination OF the
Hon. William Clafiin for Governor, the CAM
paign will be opened in earnest and the fire Kept
up along the whole line till the November cleo
tions. Massachusetts votes for her State officers
on the day OF the general election, and will roll
up her usual massive majority for the Republi-
can ticket.
RHODE ISLAND.
The campaign is just opening in this State.
The general feeling OF the people, together with
the past Republican majorities, give the Democ-
racy few crumbs of comfort The energy and
spirit already manifested will place Rhode Island
alongside of Maine and Vermont upon the roll
OF honor. t.. ..
CONNECTICUT.
This is the only New England State in which
last March by majority of LOCO. The Presi-
Dental election taking place on the same day
with the election in New York, will prevent to
some extent the importation of Democratic vo-
tiers from the city; and if the Republicans in the
State will do their duty, we may expect hand
some majority for Grant and Colfax.
NEW YORK. .n
The Albany Journal says: 1t has been evident
all along that the present campaign presented
the features OF the campaign OF 1854, with d
much more favorable complexion. We have moi
heard of single Republican who went with US
last fall who is not with us now, while those who
were against us two years ago are all now work
ing heartily with their shoulders 10 the wheel
And, beside, every day brings acccssions to oul
ranks from the conservative Democracy of the
State, who wish to preserve our finances from
ruin and our country from new war; We
therefore, have our own strength as twas brought
out in 1866, with accessons and an increased vote
Gains relative to that of Vermont, therefore
could gioe the State to the Republicans this fall bs
oyer .torty-sir thousand majority. But even if We
admit that every single Republican who voted
the Democratic ticket last fail will do it again
this fall, ian absurd idea, as every one knows
and just get out our own voters who then stayed
at home, and with the Vermont gain, the Repub
ticans will carry the State by a fair majority
The tide is all NTH us Republicans, and full vote
is an assured success. WORK WILL WIN. Recruit
your clubs, canvass your localities, circulate the
facts, and work with every means known to pc
litical warfare, and New YORK STATE WILL
SURELY BE REDEEMED. By the test applied by
the Seymourites themselves, they are doomed to an
Overwhelming defeat. Republicans of New York,
the Democratic rout OF 1868 must be made 9

A letter from Kansas to the Missouri Democrat
says "Politics run high out here, Grant and
Colfax having the thing pretty much their owl
way Kansas will give a rousing Republican
majority There have been no ratification meet
ings for Seymour and Blair. The Democrats
nearly, if not all, are going for Grant and Col

NEW JERSEY
The Jersey Blues ale swinging into line right
calamity. Every hill in the State is lighted by
Republican torches, and the valleys resound will
Union cheers. The Copperheads appear to bt
struck with blindness, and have not yet made {
decent show for meeting. Every day increases
the probability that the vote of the State will bt

ly. The Congressional nominations are nearly
completed. The rebels are making strong efforts
to carry Taylor's, Cakes, Koontz's, Myers, and
Covode's districts, but the Union veterans arc
fighting them, muzzle to muzzle, and hope moi
only to retain all these districts, but to win

3 A great reaction is taking place throughout
Georgia, particularly North Georgia, in favor Of
Grant and Colfax. in almost every county men
OF all classes are falling into line with the Re-
publicans, because they know the success of that
party insures peace. The colored voters will
vote the ticket en- masse, with tens Of thousands
of Intelligent whites. We expect Grant will car
