States of the North As travelled through

find ont how Maine would go at the Septem-
Der election I uniformly answered tnat at
the September election the Republican major
itv would be about 20 900; and that at the No
vember election this majority would be in
creased to about % 900 or $4,000. | had no
knowledge of any canvass of the State that
had been made by ans party or any com
mitiee Nor have had any knowledge of amy
such canvass for tie last twenty years. But
was able to make the estimate from my gen
eral knowledge of the political character Of
the State for the last forty years.
And now perhaps some of your readers
would like to know what L think will be the
result at the November election in the several
States in which 1 have been. This opinion
may be of no more value than the opinion of
anv citizen who has continued all the time in
the State Moreover perhaps the prudence
of the politician would require that / should
express no opinion upon the great States of
| Pennsylvania Ohio and Indiana, in which
the people are to vote next Tuesday. But it
| is no part OF my nature to keep back any OF
my cherished convictions, for fear ! should
AXE mistakes and lose in popular opinion.

HOWELL CoBB.-Another leader of the great
rebellion has passed away at the age of fifty
three. 1t would no doubt be INDUCING an
idle superstition TO imagine that there Is
special providence in the rapid disappearance
of the more eminent secessionists, ike AMY
Floyd and Cobb, especially as history ~ "t'i
es abundance of examples OF remafh'o'e
evity on the part Of the worst eheini9'
bn,oo,, raoa In tl,e eoss of the old Southern
obligarchy she rapid inroads maue oy uea'h
NAV he a matter of curious speculation, but
NOT of reqret. Their removal gives anpier op.
uortunitv for the dawn OF the new era in South
arm history which will be characterized by
more liberal social and political institutions,
.eurer manners, kinder laws" The man who
ON Friday dropped dead in the corridor of the
Fifth Avenue Hotel Vas one of the worst of his
class. As Secretary of the Treasury under
Buchanan he began that system OF LriDginG
diScredit upon the financial standing OF the
government which has become one Of the most
cherished traditions OF the Democratic party
He found the national debt $290O0,00O and lett
it S60,000 900 in a time OF profound peace. As
a member of Congress his planters whip was
piled as vigorously over the backs OF Northern
Douehfacps as that of his surbordinates over
the black field hands. His support of the Re-
bel cause made up in vigor what it lacked in
eff cheney He was not successful general
but as hater of the Yankee he had 10 peer.
After holding, as speaker of the House of Rep
personalities, the third office in the gift OF the
American people, he stabbed the nation with
all the yirulence Of a parricide. He came of
good New England stock, his father having re-
moved from M lssachusetts, but the blood
seems TO have deterorated strangely in South
ern attitudes But peace 10 his ashes, ii there
is anywhere rest for those who have been the
instruments OF iuflicting such woes upon their
fellowmen.
