is possibility that Grant may be beaten by
losing the whole South through, the detection

THE CAMPAIGN IN NEW YoRK-DEsPERATE Eff
FORTS OF THE RADICALS TO SECURE THE GEE
NAN voTE-HoETMAK FOB GOVERNOR.
The New York correspondent Of the Boston
Post writes on the 12th inst:
Grants partisans rely chiefly on the German
vote to carry New York. They are working
early and late to secure German votes for their
saloons and gardens where our Teutonic fell
low-citizens most do congregate. In the sec
tions where the German population is dense,
Grant clubs display their transparencies over
lager beer saloons, and the members make 1t
their business to 90 among the patrons OF the
saloons and talk Grant all the Afternoons and
evenings. There is probability that the Ger
man vote for Grant will be considerably larger
than the same vote for the Radical ticket
last year. The increase, however, will not be
40 great as the men trying to work it up seem
to expect. Germans are, as o rule, more de-
Lucrative than other classes Of foreign-born
voters, and though they generally regard
Grant as quite hero in the field, they do not
allow this estimation Of him to blind them to
the consequence Of glvinga new lease to the
Radical party. They reflect that the Radical
party deprived them Of their Sunday recrea-
tions in this city and so burdened them with
taxes that they are no longer able to live in
comfort. Although these considerations are
more selfish than patriotic, yet they are likely
to exercise much influence at the polls, and
they will certainly interfere with the calcu-
lations made by the active workers for
Grant. A good deal Of money as!.a has already san1
and good deal more will be paid, for
the dissemination Of Radical doctrines
among the Germans. German Radical
papers, which would otherwise hardly be
able to live, are supported by subscrip-
tions from the pockets of American Radicals,
and distributed gratis among German readers.
Several thousand copies OF the Tribune are put
to the same use, all with view to converting
German Conservatives to the tenets OF Radi-
calism. Thus far, however, it does not appear
that many Germans care to be converted. At
any rate, three-fourths of those who voted the
Democratic ticket last year are believed to be
good for Sey mour and Blair this year and the
detection Of one.fourth will be made good by
accessons from the ranks which elected Lin
coin in '64 and Fenton in '66. Grant is likely to
get larger German vote in New York than
the Radical State ticket received in '67, when it
was defeated by majority OF 81, 600; but the
mass Of German voters, including nineteen
twenieths Of the Jews, will vote the Demo-
cratic ticket, and do their share towards giving
the 39 electoral votes OF the Empire State to
Seymour and Blair.
T II appears to be almost settled that Mayor
Hoffman will be the Democratic nominee for
Governor. The personal popularity OF Hof-
man is not second TO that OF any man in the
as statesman, though as yet he has had but
limited field for displaying these qualities.
have won for him the regard and confidence or
every Conservative voter in New York. His
name on the Democratic ticket would certainly
strengthen it with the German element, and
this consideration will not be overlooked by
the State Convention. Immediately after his
election last wear to the Mayoralty, by major
ity unparalleled in New York, the men who
elected him declared that he should be their
candidate this year for Governor, and they are
as earnest for his nomination now as they were
then. Although the Germans do q great deal
Of the voting in New York, they have as yet but
small share Of the Offices, and now desire the
Democracy Of the State to recognize their pow
er and services by renomlnatipg HOFFMAN, VINO
is their most prominent representative. Ills
name on the Democratic ticket would give 1t
prestige among the Germans that it cannot
otherwise obtain.
THE PROSPECT IN aEoRG1A-FHrY THOUSAND
DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY.
The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel says:
The accounts which We receive from the diff
ferent portions of the State through our e1-
changes and private letters, and personal OBJ
servaIion, inspires us with the 9ehe! that the
canvass is so far progressing as effectively, and
with far greater prospects Of an overwhelming
victory, than we had anticipated, The people
everywhere are fully aroused, and the work Of
organization is being pushed with vigor and
enthusiasm heretofore rarely witnessed in the
State. The fifteen or twenty thousand white
voters who, seduced by the false promise o.
confiscation, voted with the Radicals in the
late gubernatorial contest are everywhere re-
nouncing Radicalism and returning to the true
faith.
