returns from this State indicate a Radi-
cal loss Of between four and five thou
sand, as compared with the Governors
majority Of 1868, and about thirteen
thousand on that received by Grant.
The aggregate vote is within few
thousands Of the total cast that year,
which was the largest ever polled in the
State. In other words, the Radicals
have lost nearly 25 per cent. Of their
majority, on fair and full test, and
under the most favorable circumstances.
The same scale of diminutien, applied
to tho close aud. doubtful States, would
carry every one of them for Greeley.
This is the result at the very source Of
Radicalism, where the partisan fires Of
prejudice burn intensely, where the
organization is perfect, aud the iafu.
ence Of power and patronage is most
sensibly felt

tions like that of Maine We may es-
innate she change on the vote of Maine
wrought by the Liberal Republican
movement, at about Eve per cent. We
may be certain that in no other part of
the Union viii the change be less,--in
few SO small. Well, Eve per cent. on
the last Presidential vote shifts Penn

States already Democratic, aud we have

Maine election is plain ;--It reveals a

After these, the battle wins itself.
The Horla says IF the Republican
losses throughout the country 10 No.
vember, shall equal those in Mime in
this September, Mr.. Greeley will be
sriumphantly elected.
Tho N. York San says The Grant
men have carried Maine by at least
$4,000 majority. This is falling of
Of 5000 from the majority in the Sept.
election of 1868, ann reduction Of
$4,000 from Grants majority that year.
The same ratio Of gains throughout the
u. s. will elect Horace Greeley.
The Grant papers say there is not the
faintest ray Of light for Greeley, in the
elections which have been held, so fur
We say there is. North Carolina was
q decided Democratic victory. With
all the frauds Of the Radicals they could
7ot wrest the State from the grasp Of
the Democrats and Liberals. They lost
majority Of Congressman, the Legis-
lature, the Senate, and they will ulti-
mately have to surrender even the
Governor. In the New England States
il was not to be expected that very
great gains would be made.
The policy of the Administration is
shaped exclusively in the interest Of
New England, by New England men,
and for the benefit Of New England
pockets. The Legislation is controlled
BY combination of the manufacturing
interests, through committees known to
be subsidized for their advantage. The
Treasury Department, with its immense
ramifcations, is run in the same groove
for the bondholders aud banks, and
against the taxpayers, who have to bear
the burdens of corrupt system, devils
ed 70 promote monopoly, aud to make
the rich richer and the poor poorer.
The New England States have accumn.
lated immense wealth under policy,
which has been contrived by their own
hands, to drain the resources Of the
South and West, and make them pay
enormoustribute for every manufactured
article that enters into common con.
sumption. They care nothing for can.
didaies or principles, exceps so far as
they may serve the purposes of asgrau.
dlzement, which are nearest and dearest
to the heart Of that selfish section.
Support Of Grant means simply that he
j. the best instrument to advance their
design aud nothing more.
We look with confidence to the South
and West, and especially to the great
States Of Indiana, Illinois, Missouri,
Pennsylvania, and New York, to reverse
the decision Of New England, and full
high to advance the Greeley standard,
bearing it on to victory. When these
great States shall have taken their DO.
sition, they viii be found IN the fore
front Of the Greeley column, unless
diverted from their purpose by the
most stupendous fraudsand unparalleled
bribery and corruption. Nothing else
