eve have received several letters from
Democratic correspondents aud friends
of Horace Greeley as to the outlook
in this city and county. We take pleasure
in replying that we have never known an
election the result of which was more clear
~ indicated in advance. There is the most
cordial feeling between the Democrats and
the Liberal Republicans, the latter ofwhom
are perfecting an organization in every
ward and township, and will cast an i'm
mense vote for Greeley and Brown. 1t
does not seem probable that there can be
otherwise than very large majority for
