New YORK, September q, 1872
From the victory won in Maine, all after
ton is now turned to the victory to be wo
/ in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana tn
{ battle in those States is one, and not serie
Of attacks, and interest here centres on III
whole line, and on no particular spot. Tn
headquarters of the opposition have as
sumed their former activity and hopeful
ness, and the faces that were long-draWl
and. the spirits that were heavy on the re
ceipt of the news from Maine are now en-
liYened with smiles. Time has helped then
to forget their New England defeats, ant
the news OF the OBJECTIONS of Hasaurek anC
the VOlkS6ladt in Ohio, and of Curtin il
Pennsylvania, have been great aids III build
ing up their shattered calculations.
In enumerating the stimulants which
have helped to revive them | wonld be IN
just to some were l to forget their daily
diet Of Press editorials. That paper is in
very great demand among the Liberals and
Democrats at their headquarters, and from
their unqualified admiration of its editor
would judge he was the only honest man
| left in the Republican party. The predic-
lions of prominent Liberals and Democrats
are sWeeping-almost relieving US from
| figuring at all. They are certain of winning
all the October elections, which, Of course,
settles the question as to who will be our
next President; as to the Southern States
and New York, they will, of course, join in
the chorus and they say, then wherell
you be p
But they-have proven wonderfully mae
| Gurate in their calculations, and many Re
| publcans who occasionally call in on the
| Liberals at their headquarters find relief
i'll proportion to the size of their predicted
maiorities.
The campaign in Pennsylvania, viewed
from this distance bears strong resem blance
| to the Ohio and Indiana fights. The result
in the latter States will be of no less weight
than the result in Pennsylvania, but the
fight in Pennsylvania, from its traditional
Importance and the peculiar divisions in
the Republican ranks, awakeus the lIYeliest
interest. The accounts received at the Re
publican national headquarters from all
parts of the State (both from letters and
statements based on personal observations
OF parties calling at the headquarters are
on the whole, gratifying and encouraging.
That the letter of the ex-Ininister to Russia
has had no particular weight in the canvass
is then uniform statement, and one prOIni-
nent individual writes che might as well
have fired off his Indignation in Russia as
here; it is coldly received in fact spurned,"
and from what | have heard / Judge his
statements are correct. The letter was
long in coming, and many knew the in
fuence which several prominent Lib
erals in Pennsylvania had over him,
who have hazarded their all in this move
ment, and who are determined to involve
IN it the fortunes Of all their friends. Be-
sides, the letter came out at a time when
the State was still ringing with the enthus-
iasn of the soldiers convention at Pitts
burg, and when Republicans were Just be-
ing Weakened by its echoes to full appre-
citation of the ISLANDERS and yitnnera+ions |
uttered against their chief candidate The |
convention at PittsbuTg was a magnificent |
success, and IRON my personal observations |
l think 1t compared tav0rably in size, in re- |
speciality and in intense enthusiasm with |
that Philadelphia convention il June. |
which far surpassed in all these respects |
the Democratic National Convention at |
Baltimore. The convention has been a
great aid IN the Pennsylvania canvass, and |
the enthusiasm awakened there has been
feIt all over che State, as.well as in Ohio
and Indiana. Between the meagre reports
OF She Associated Press and the libelous
of Mr.. Greeley, its Importance
and influence have been misiudged bv
many, but the results of the election viii
prove the accuracy of my statements.
The canvass in Ohio has frightened m
within the past week. The
Pfttsburg convention helped to waken I'D
the Republicans in that State, and letter
received at the national committee head
quarters from the chairman of the State
at Columbus, dated the twenty
'iXth, says the prospects i'll the State are
completely IN our favor, and we are gaining
very day The detection of Hasaurek
and his bringing out his German paper.
which had remained neutraD for Greeley
vas less serious blow than was antici-
'ated Many prominent Germans have be-
ome exasperated at his perioious conduct.
md when the facts in relation to his open
proposals in the political markets here and |
n Washington become known (as thew
ureiy will) more light will be thrown on
his endeaVor to sell the German vote IN toto |
Q the highest bidder. The calculations of j
IT. Hasaurek and his purchasers promise
o prove failure, tor many Germans have |
penly announced their determination TO
ote the Republican ticket and prove to !
he country that the German vote can not {
g manipulated by any man or set of men. 2
1he light III Indiana promises to be the S
losest of the year. Every inch Of ground a
as been contested and no stone left un- i
lrned by either party. The two chief DO a
teal leaders in Indiana have given per c
mai attention to every detail, and Senator b
-ortOn has not found in Mr. Hendricks an | o
npotent opponent. The State is thoroughly o
Sganlzed, and the enthusiasm on both II
des is great. Both parties are confident of G
etory, and both have strong reasons to be s.
