We have no time to answer, even though
they were as courteous as they are lnsuitins'
the many letters which solicit our pirate opln-
ion as to the probability that Grant or that
Grisyold will carry the State Of New-foik.
We have but one opinion on the subject, when
is that only gigantic fraud can prerent com
plete Republican triumph in our State. we
stated at the outset of the canvass that Gen.
Grant would poll Four Hundred Thousand
legal votes in our State, and that so many
could not be polled against him. Wenow say tnat
he will poll more than 100000, and that tiliS
City will give him Forty-iivc to Fifty Ihou-
sand of them instead of the Forty Thousand CON
templated in our original estimate. 1he highest
Republican vote ever polled in our State (that
cast for oy Fenton in 'Gi) was 3G9,557 the NIGH
est Democratic vote Chat of Homer A. Nelson
for Secretary of State in '67) was $4,000. That
included at least Twenty Thousand Illegal
votes nolled in this City and Brooklyn; yet we
can and will beat it about Forty Thousand for
| Grant. Tho adversary can't begin TO match
this except by cheating, and we shall watch
and baiiie their frauds as we did not last year
OF course we cannot be certain OF tins but
we have reason for speaking with confidence
| Our friends arc doing the work that they
utterly neglected last year. We have caught
some of the rascals who forge and utter Natu-
ralization Certificates already; we have sure
| thing on more, who are TO be arrested al INC
right moment. Rosenburg pleads--not that ne
did not utter the Certificates sold by hini--noC
that they are not counterfeit-not that tley
were not fabricated with villainous intent 10
dcfraud the legal voters of their rghts-but
that the lar does not corer his case. So clear a
confession has seldom been made in case oil
of the gravest public consequence.
There are rcams of fraudulent Naturalization
Certificates ahoat but votes will be polled on
very few of them. The Boys IN Blue " are
around, and do not mean to be cheated out oil
the fruits Of their four years struggle. III VIII
not be healthy nor safe to be caught operating
as "repeatersr or voting OIL bogus papers next
Tuesday.
But we have frauds Of all kinds to guard
against. Let no Grant man vote an Electoral
ballot which he has not read and carefully
compared with the ticket as printed in our
columns, nor without counting the names OF
electors thereon. and making certain that they
are exactly Thirty-three. Take no ballots from
doubtful hands and, should you detect any
ono peddling inaccurate ballots, or ballots
| having n name repeated. or one too many
sound the alarm at once, and have his little
| game arrested. We cannot be beaten fairly,
and must not allow ourselves to bo cheated.
What is true of New-Yoik is in substance
true of New-Jersey. The highest vote ever
vet polled in this State by each party Is as
follows:
! Rep,Jiioan-ward for Governor 1853 .---..sI'IoS
| Democradc-McClclla for President lsoD .65'Oli
| We shall now give Gen. Grant over 10000
votes. and John !. Blair for Governor nearly
or quite that number. The enemy, in order to
defeat us, have repealed the Registry law, also
that which closed the polls at sunset. They
are well supplied with counterfeit Certificates
of Naturalization, for which they had mill
running in Jersey City until broken up by ar
rests last week. But the Republicans are work
ing as they never worked before; {" the Boys
"in Blue are host, aud are giving every
thought to the canvass; and On shorD the
State is for Grant, and will prove it next Tues
day, unless the cheating be more extensive
than we now believe possible.
Such is our answer to n pile of letters So
letting private advices. We deal in the other
sort.
