ABOUT NEW YORK.
From the Tribune, Aug. 26.

which underpin our convictions thai
New York, like most of her sister States
will vote fer Grant and Colfax
l. Since the Republican party was
formed, it has never failed to carry this
State on vigorous canvass and full
poll, though it has often failed at other
times. 1t was badly beaten in 1855,
yet it gave Fremont 80, 600 plurality in
1856. The State went against US the
next year (lS57) by a heavy plurality
on a light vote yet we elected Gov.
Morgan in 1858 by nearly 20, 600 plural

and knowNothing vote beat several of
our State candidates yet in 1860 we
met the supporters of Douglas, Breck-
inridge and Bell compactly arrayed

so, 900 majority. Up to this time, il
had been said, " You Republicans are
but a plurality; if your edversaries
were united, they would overwhelm
you )" but, when they did unite, they
were beaten most sigually.
Ia 1861, Union ticket prevailed by
a very large majority, though Seymour.
Hoffman, Church & Co. did their bes
to defeat it yet in 1862 they rallied
all their forces under Seymour for Gov
erHor, and, in the absence af fifty thou
sand of or voters at the front, they
squarely beat US by 10000 majority.
Toe very next year, We reversed that
judgement by 30, goo, and in '64 We
turned Seymour ont and gave the vote
OF our State to Lincoln by seven or
eight thousand majority. We held the
State firmly il s. and SIS, but LOST il
III the general collapse of 1867.
Thus, from the day in which the Re-
publican party was formed, We have
never lost this State on a full vote, never
lost il twice in succession, and never
lost il twice in the same Presidential
term. We are confident that this year
will establish no exception to these
rules.
An enormous, unprecedented preFor
ton of our voters were absent in Eu-
rope and travelling on business in every
direction when our last years State
Election was held. Our net loss from
this cause was not less than Twenty
FIVE Thousand votes. Then the results
of the elections in California, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, &C, had disappointed and
disheartened US. Of the four Repub
lican dailies published in this city, three
were doing nothing to call out our vote,
but very much 1--WE thought) to keep it
away from the polls. Our local legis-
lation and canal management had tenn
porarily disafected many thousands Of
earnest Republicans, So the disasters
of the year eliminated in our defeat by |
Fifty Thousand majority; swelled from
Ten to Twenty Thousand by fraudulent
Nat1ralizations, and by double and
treble votings in this city and Brooklyn.
But can't they cheat you just SO
Tor worse) this year p
No, They cannot. We shall be wide
awake and on the alert this year. We
shall be watching the Williams who N axe
a trade of voting illegally at the Nat
uralization mills, at the Registries, and
at the polls. They do not fear the of
ficers whose duty it is to prosecute them
to punishment but we shall make the
State too hot for them if they attempt
to repeat the wholesale frauds of re-
cent years, especially last year.
We are awake and at work. Our
watch fires never yet burned brighter
so early in the canvass than they DO
o-day. Our rank and file were never
ore Jealous, more confident, nor more
active. They are more confident of
Granite election than we wish they
were for they work best when some
what apprehensive of defeat. But there
s hardly a Republican in the States who
Ices not personally know of some
changes in our favor, and there is dan
ger tina, too many will regard our tri-
lmph as already secured.
We do not want one illegal vote polleG
or Grant and Colfax, and shall not
lave hundred in the entire State. We
rave at least Four Hundred Thousand
egal voters who desire that our candi,
lates should be and believe that they
will be elected and there are not
Three Hundred and Eighty Thousand
egal voters in the State who desire Sey
