Correspondence.

Four States spoke in suficieutly en-
phatic tones on the 18th inst. to convince
even the most stupid Of the rebel democ'
raey that their candidates do not stand
the ghost of chance before the people.
These, added to the States which have
heretofore spoken since the presidential
candidate was placed in nomination. viz:
Maine Vermont, and Connecticut with
New Jersey--the latter through her mu-
nieipal election held in the city of New
ak on the 18th instant when there was
an increase of 500 republican votes over
last year ought to cause the Withdrawal
of Seymour and Blair. The Democracy
have, in all their estimates, relied upon
Pennsylvania, Indiana, New Jersey, Con-
necticut, and Nebraska for success and
failing to carry these, many Of the
leading opposition presses have frankly
told their adhercnts thSt there would be
no chance for their candidates in Novem.
Der The recent elections have virtually
decided the Presidential contest and re-
duced it to a mere matter of form by
which to officially record the verdict Of
the people. The late elections have pro-
duced wonderful effect here at the seat
of government, and will have positive
influence in favor of the republican cause
throughout the country, so thatof all the
states, Maryland. Delaware and Kentucky
alone are conceed to the rebel democracy.
The change in the current of affairs is
very marked among. government officials
here in the political centre of the country
The President remarked to prominont

Seymour never had reasonable chance
Of being elected, and he was now only

aroused the President and caused him to

At no point in the country perhaps
were the returns awaited for more anx-
iously The different newspaper Offices
were besieged by crowd of anxious peo
pie until late in the night of the 18th.
By ten o'clock the democratic portion Of
the crowd had heard enough and retired
to their homes in disgust, while republi-

The republicans throughout the coun-
try have great duty to perform during
the next two weeks. 1t is desirable to
J bury the carcase of modern democracy 80

ever tant the atmosphere Of this favored
land again. TO do thus, the majority fol
Grant must be so large that not even the

contemplate ressurrecting its remains
