Mr.. Daniel Naar editor of the True Ameri-
can, at Trenton, N. j., is said to be great cal
culator on political elections. The Argus en-
dorses him. The Maine Democrat wants to
hug this calculculating machine and tho
Standard editor wished to ride with him in
jolly way over to Kingfeld and survey the
battlefield of that region, where the would-be
Governor was politically slaughtered. Why
do these Copperhead editors go into rhapsodies
about Naar? Only because he has been so
kind as to make a calculation which elects
Seymour.
Not ghost of a chance left for the silent
man. How does he do it? He gives Seymour
100 votes, and Grant 96, leaving % in Doubt
There's figurer for you. No halt way work
about him. He distances the Democratic fig
urer in this city; although he plunged his par
ty into such unmitigated anguish by his blum
ders, that they have hardly yet recovered.
How does Naar elect Seymour? That's the
question: Why to begin with, be sweeps into
the Democratic caldron Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Indiana go votes) with one dashl Then
he sets down for Seymour Nebaska, wiscon-
sin, North Carolina, 20 morel And so the lit
tie joker goes on gulling the credulous. He
kindly leaves the Republicans five of the New
England States, with West Virginia, Florida,
Tennessee, &c. 1t is wonderful that be should
be so generous, after what he had claimed
To think of this blunderhead claiming Penn
splvania, Ohio, and Indianal in the face of
the scathing news which he had published in
his paper that they had all gone against the
rebelsl
oh Naar! You unconscioDable duncel How
will your readers feel towards you who may
have put up money on yonr prediction, on the
evening of Tuesday next? How will you feel
yourself? Get yourself a suit of sackcloth and
peck of ashes, for you will deserve that peni-
tent garb for your gross impositions upon the
credulous people of New Jersey, and the parts

Mr.. EDIToR,-I find strong .prejudice
against the Grand Trunk road as Ioute to
the West; and to correct this prejudice, l
write this article. Some six weeks ago, had
occasion to go West, and concluded to buy
an excursion ticket over the Grand Trunk to
Chicago and return by the first of this No
vember-fare thirty-six dolars-while at that
time September 23d) the fare by the other
routes was to Chicago and back fifty-six dol
lars, twenty dollars more than by the Grand
Trunk.
Several friends advised me not to take the
Grand Trunk route, saying that the track
was in such bad condition, that my life would
not be safe, and if l got through alive, the
loss of time and extra hotel bills would more
than offset the lower rate of fare. This arti-
Gle shows l am alive yet, and as to the deten-
ton, l made the distance between Portland
and Chicago, 1145 miles, in two days, six
hours and half, and to Burlington, Iowa
distance 1858 miles from Portland, two or
three hours inside of three days, and this af-
ter waiting three hours and half at Chicago,
for the regular train to Burlington.
For the last twelve or fifteen years, have
travelled between Portland and the West as
often as once, and generally two or three
times year, and during that time have tried
all the routes, each way, and my experience
is in favor of the Grand Trunk, for cheap
ness, comfort, and dispatch, unless = person
has business at points ON the other route
The advantages OF the Grand Trunk over the
other routes are, that it avoids the circuitous
routes by Boston, where you must cross the
city by carriage or On foot to reach the West
ern Depot, then you are obliged to re-check
your baggage; whereas by the Grand Trunk
you need check your through baggage but
once, to wit, at Portland.
Again the three changes of cars between
Portland and Chicago are all made in tn
same building at the three points; so that
the traveller has only to step ACROSS from one
train to the other. Another advantage of
the Grand Trunk is, that it being broad guage,
the cars are wider and more roomy. Espec-
tally is this the case with the sleeping cars,
for the use of which you are charged on other
roads For instance, the charge for lower
berth on the Grand Trunk Road, is $3.50;
on the Michigan Central $500. admit some
parts of the road are little rough, but not
enough to ruffle the equanimity of healthy,
well disposed person. 1 have travelled this
route great many times and never met
with an accident-and never missed connec-
ton but once, and then in February 1861,
caused by heavy snow storm. l write this
unsolicited, my only motive being to dis
abuse the pnblic mind of what seems to ne
an unjust prejudice against the Grand Trunk
Railroad. II.

How is it i'm New yo,L

'"elr eII, majority rose to 10000"
Nv nat was then said by the Sun, has since
t.o fepeatedly confirmed. The news from
'ious states voting in October has dis

Ihere is not a man among them

OF the Republican ticket Not a r,a,o 81;
umph either; but one that win he so conc,u-
sive as to crush the contradiction in The
South, and the vaunting OF their allies in the
North.
This being the case, they feel that the inflic-
ton would be more than they could bear-not
more than they deserve-should they lose the
State government and patronage OF New York.
EVERY agency, therefore, that art, skill and
wickedness can devise, is pressed into the work
OF saving something over which thew NAV boast.
The wickedness displayed in the natnraliza-
ton in the face of the law, of thousands of for
~No-SA'' 'S"N 90 VhouSh tudJ were not enough
the forgery of papers by wholesale for tn at
purpose-would sink any cause or men engag-
ed IN it to the lowest infamy And vet these
men expect to succeed by these means aud
many Others used. But they failed with the
same machinery diligently Piled in the States
Just voting. They will fail in New York. 1t
seems to us that this victorysis to be as impress
slVe and as conclusive as any recorded in
American history. With New Yoik left in the
hands OF these desperate men, it would be
shorn of portion of its completeness. We
cannot think it will be so. This wickedness
will be overruled; and the State of New York
IS to be dsenthraIhed from the blasting influ-
enee of the disunioDists, who sitting in the
seats of power, plot ruin to the cause of liberty
and equal rights.
Horace Greeley, who, whatev sr his faults, is
not over-sanguine in respect to political mat
ters, says in Thursdays Tribune:
We have 10 time TO answer, even though
they were as courteous as they are insulting,
the many letters which solicit our private
opinion as to the probability that Grant or
or that Griswold will carry the State of New
YORK, We have but one opinion on the sub.
Ject, which is that only gigantic fraud can pre-
rent complete Republican triumph in our
State. We stated at the outset of the canvass
that Gen. Grant would poll four hundred
thousand votes in our State, and that so many
could not be polled against him. We now say
that he will poll more than 400 900, and that
TINS city will give him forty five to fifty thou
sand of them instead of the forty thousand
contemplated in our original estimate.

A Democratic Attempt to Kill Thirty-si,
Republican Girls

"A Democfatrc Auempf TO AIii Thirfy-siX
Republican Girls.
The Keosauqua, Iowa, Republican cites a
home illustration of the depraved meanness
inherent in Democracy:
Some miscreants of Harrisburg township.
on Saturday night made a dastardy attempt
to murder the tbirty-six young ladies who
represented the States at the Republican raj
ly at Bonaparte, on Saturday last, by placing
rails in the road, piling them up, one on top
of another, so that when the wheels of the
large wagon in which they were, should run
upon them the whole would upset, precpitat-
ing horses, wagon and all, over the steep en-
bankment into the gulch below; and to make
sure that their cowardly scheme would not
prove failure, they piled them across the
road in an oblique direction, that the horses
in the attempt to avoid running into them,
would, in getting around, necessarily run the
wheels over the embankment. This was re-
ever an embankment could be found steep
enough to insure the elimination of their
worse than murderous designs. The light
from the lamps carried by the Tanners. who
were also on their return home, is all that
saved them, by which the driver was enabled
to discover this place of Ku-Klux treachery,
just in time to save his valuable and beauti-
full load-the lite of one of which is worth
more than the miserable existence of a
world full of such fends who disgrace the
name and shape of man, and who ever since
the days Of Forrest and Booth, have lurked
in the dark, fearing the light OF day as they
evidently do their shadows.

"74.2S."-DAN. SICKLEs ON PENDLEToNI-
AN STATEsMANsHIP.-And then comes along
Mr.. Pendleton, another financier, and he in
forms US that the war for the suppression of
the rebellion has cost him and every other
Democrat S74.2S. Laughter.l Now, that is a
statement for him! While the whole country,
from Maine to the Gull, is profoundly aeitated
with the present and future of onr land /;
while every heart beats with solicitude to
know what fate the future has in store for us !:
while the widow mourns the husband lost at
Antietam; while the mother weeps over the
son who fell in the valley, while the orphan
mourns the father who went down in the
Cumberland, CALAMITY fighting to the last,
Mr.. George III. Pendeton was ''doing his
sum-"
Mr.. George III. Pendleton was calculating
to the farthing how many coppers it cost the
copperheads to have their rebellion put do gn ,
(cheers) and that is what the Democrats
call craftsmanship. That is what they mean
by keeping the eyes of the country on debt
and taxation. Ohio, Pennsylvania, you can
not, you will not forget the countless lives
lost on the hundred fields, for the preservation
of the Union. But it was reserved for Mr..
Fendleton to recount the pecuniary sacrifice
it cost him to have our triumph achieved.
Think OF Benjamin Franklin counting the
cost OF the Declaration of Independence.
Imagine William Pitt counting how many
pennies Waterloo cost England. Think, if
you can, OF Carnot counting the value OF the
lile Dessaix gave to France on the field oil Ma
rengo. And then the Democratic statesman
goes all the way to Maine to utter MS la,neh
tations over tbe severe sacrifice he made of
seventy-four dollars and twenty-eight cents.
(Laughter.l
tbev are moi yet beyond the reach of consola-
tion. and 1 have great pleasure in saving
TO him and his friends who lament with him,
in the name of the soldiers and sailors-the
men who have made unnumbered sacrifices
that we are ready to indemnify Mr.. Pendle-
ton and all our peace men at the rate of S74-
