Washington Correspondence New York
Express
Republicans from the South, at pres.
ent in Washington, take gloomy
view of the situation at home. A
Louisiana Republican, for instance,
informs his friends in the Senate that
Louisiana will give five thousand
Democratic majority next November,
and twenty-five thousand at the next
Presidential election.
A Mississippi Republican predicts a
Democratic victory in that State in
| November. He told Alcorn, the other
day, it was inevitable, and Alcorn
laughed. Now, if AlcOrn had been
at heart n Radical, he would have
cried; but he never shed tear-on
/ the contrary, as above stated, he
laughed. Depend upon it that man
AlcOrn--the old friend of Clay, Web
ster and Fillmore-is ''ripe for trea-
son, strategem and spoiis."
Alabama, l am assured by good
Republican authority, will give 5000
Democratic majority in November.
| Enough said about Alabama.
Georgia, not beings as yet recon-
structed, [ leave our OF the account
fOr the present.
South Carolina may be set down as
doubtful, but the Hon. Frederick Au-
gustus Sawyer, one OF her Senator's
native by the way ,nf lBl son, Mass,
and 81 graduate of Harvard University
l-pursues so conservative a course rs
to lead many persons TO suspect that
he apprehends a 60uItV5rSeneRt there
in November.
In Tennessee, the Radicals give 1t
up. Maynard5 may possibly be re-
elected in the Knoxville District. If
so, he will be the only Radical men,
ber from Tennessee in the next Con-
gress. Ethridge is on the war path in
his district, and he will be elected.
North Carolina, as the Southern
phrase has it, is looking Every peart." :"
The Holden party there is dwindling
every day, and will go under forever
in November. ReSgUieodii1 pace.
Virginia is fairly redeemed. Gov
ernor Walker is trump, and you will
find him nlttid UeSfigid reSt0ruDl there.
The Old Dominion is good for %, 900
Conservative majority.
Maryland and Kentucky, in spite of
negro suffrage, will maintain their
present independence of Radicalism.
Delaware will be close State-but
who ever knew the Blue Hens Chick
ems to fail in an emergency? They
always come up to the scratch when
required.
Pennsylvania Republicans are not
in favor of negro suffrage. The FIT
teenth Amendment there is two
edged sword, and cuts right and left.
In the Southern tier of counties the
white people do not yet believe that
the negroes are their equals. Nor in
Lehigh, nor Lycoming, nor Demshire
either, Simon Cameron to the contra
ry Notwithstanding. How it may be
in Lancaster, depOnent saith not. a
county that ever shipped such a
strange and uncOuth god as Thad.
Stevens, might reasonably be regard
ed as thoroughly unclean and ire
deemable. If she be joined to her
idOLs, we will let her alone.
OF New York and New Jersey no
one doubts. Grants brilliant strategy
in the Murphy business insures both
these States to the Conservatives any
how, and beyond a peradventure. a
gain of seven or eight members of
Congress in the district where Fenton
is potential, may be expected in No
vember, in New York. FentOn was
originally Democrat, and being now
candidate for the Presidency, must
soon begin to marshal his forces at
home, to keep COnklin in check at
Oneida and to hold Tom Murphy and
his myrmidons at bay in that city
and in Long Island.
Indiana shows symptoms of throw
sng Off the Radical collar.
Ohio is so manipulated by Delano
and his tribe of taX-gatherers that it
is hardly possible to tell what is to be-
come of her; but if Pennsylvania
caves in, Ohio will follow with rush.
From the above statement, COM
piled from reliable data, it would ap-
pear that the Radicals are about to be
defeated next fall in many States now
held by their party.
