About New York.
JFrww the if. Y. lYibune.
We are often anxiously asked how New
York will go In the pending election, an 1 have
Bo time to answer our querists severally.
Where their letters imply that we hare a
private opinion diiFrent from that whioh we
express in these columns, we hare no wish to
answer them. We pretend to no exclusive,
300 occult sources of information. Here fol
low some of the consideration wh' h underpin
cur conviction that New York, like mo3t of
lier sister States, will vote lor Grant and
Colfax:
I. Since the Republican party wa3 formed,
it has never failed to carry this State on a
vigorous canvass and a full poll, though it
lias often failed at other times. It was badly
l.eaten in lS.r.r, yet it gave Fremont 80,000
Plurality in 18.rxi. The State went against us
the next year (1857) by a heavy plurality on
a light vote; yet we elected Governor Morgan
in lfeSS by nearly 110,000 plurality. Iu 1S.V.1,
the combined Democratio and Know-Nothing
Tote beat several of our State candidates; yet
in 18t!0 we met the supporters .of Douglas,
lUeckinridge, and Bell, compaotly arrayed
against us, and beat them by nearly 50,000 ma
jority. Up to this time, it ha3 been said,
,"Yon Republicans are but a plurality: if your
adversaries were united, they would over
Whelm you;" but, when they did unite, they
jvere beaten most signally.
In a Union ticket prevailed by a very
large majority, though Seymour, lloH'uun,
Church & Co. did their best to defeat it; yet
in lS(i2 they rallied all their forces under Sey
jnour for Governor, and, in the absence of
fty thousand of our voters at the front, they
Squarely beat us by 10,000 majority. The
Tery next year, we reversed the julgment by
B0,U00, and in '(J4 we turned Seymour out and
pave the vote of our State to Lincoln by seven
to eight thousand majority. We held the State
firmly in '05 and 'GO, but lost it in the general
collapse of 1807.
Thus, f.om the day in whioh the Republi
can party was formed, we have never lost this
state on a full vote, never lost it twice in suc
cession, and never lost it twice in the same
3'residential term. We are confident that
this year will establish no exception to these
XUles.
An enormous, unprecedented proportion of
Cur voters were absent in Europe and travel
ling on business in every direction when our
last year's State election was held. Out net
loss from this cause was not less than 25,000
Votes. Then the results of the elections in
California, Pennsylvania, Ohio, etc, had dis
appointed and disheartened us. Of the four
Republican dailies published in this city, three
ivere doing nothing to call out our vote, but
Very much, we thought, to keep it away from
the polls. Our local legislation and canal man
agement had temporarily disaffected many
thousands of earnest Republitans. So the dis
asters of the year culminated in our defeat by
50,000 majority; swelled from 10,000 to 20,000
ly fraudulent naturalizations, and by
double and treble voting in this city and
Urooklyn.
"But can't they cheat you just so (or worse)
this year ?"
No, they cannot. We shall be wide awake
and on the alert this year. We shall be watch
ing the villains who make a trade of voting
illegally at the naturalization mills, at the
Registries, and at the polls. They do not fear
the ofticers 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 faauds of recent 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 to-day. Oar rank
and lile were never more zealous, more confi
dent, nor more aotive. They are more confi
dent of Grant's election than we wish they
Were, for they work best when somewhat ap
prehensive of defeat. But there is hardly a
Republican in the State who does not per
sonally know of some chang-s in our favor,
and there is danger that too many will regard
Our triumph as already secured.
We do not want one illegal vote polled for
Grant and Colfax, and shall not have a hun
dred in the entire State. We have at least
four hundred thousand legal voters who desire
that our candidates should be and believe
that they will be elected; and there are not
three hundred and eighty thousand legal
Voters in the State who desire Seymour's
election. Every vote he gets above 375,000
lie will owe to deliberate and concerted fraud.
Still, we have a very dillioult, arduous,
energetio canvass before us. Thousands of
cur voters are absent in Europe and on
voyages in every sea. Many are travelling on
luasiness, or looking through the West and
Southwest for future homes. If the election
Were to-morrow, we should not poll our full
Vote by at least fifty thousand. To call our
voters home from every quarter is a work re
quiring systematic effort. It can only be
effected by an efficient organization in every
election district and a most elective canvass.
3'hen we have to fight coffee-colored Naturali
zation papers and legions of alien swindlers
Who mean to vota it they can and as often as
they dare. J he work required is immense;
yet it must and will be done.
rriends, North and South, East and West,
do not distrust New York! She never failed
you yet, at a critical moment, exoept in '02,
when at least fifty thousand of her noblest
Voters were carrying muskets in Dixie or
Sleeping beneath its turf. The casualties of
war have seriously cut down our majority, but
liave not destroyed it. You will have to work
Very hard and to very good purpose to do
letter in your several States than the Empire
State will do for Grant and Colfax and a loyal
peace.
Plcxico Washington Rumors Ueiieral
Roseerans.
from the N. Y. Herald.
General Ilosecrans' mission to Mexico and
its objects, together with the instructions he
is to receive from the State Deoirtraent. are
themes of lively interest and speculation just
jiow in Washington, we mentioned on Sat
urday the probable difficulty between the ne w
Minister and Mr. Seward with regard to en-
jorcing the telegraph, express company, rail
Toad, and other cUitns in whioh Thurlow
Weed and the members of the Seward family
are interested. It is H-tiJ now that General
Ilosecrans is to be invested with power to
prop up the Juarez Government, even by
aisine the forces olthe Uuited States if neces
sary," and to take, by way of compensation, a
large slice of Northern Mexico. This looks
like a great job to sustain and give
value to the vast land grants and schemes
in Lower California and Souora, lu which
lien Butler, George Wilke3, Forney, the
Washington lobby, and a ho3t of Wall
Street speculators are interested. That cun
ning little diplomat, Romero, with a host of
Mexican chieis and leading military nwu of the
United States, appears to be mixed up with
and to favor this project. Romero and the
Juarez chiefs of Mosiuo gee, probably, that
there is no other way to maintain the existing I
Government there neatest rival factions and I
leaders than by the strong arm of the United
States. At the ?ame time our own leading
military men want active employment.
Their ambition and warlike spirit chafe
under the present inaction, and they want
new fields of glory. It is rather signifi
cant, too, that just at this time General
Roseerans is hounobblng at the Virginia
enlpbur springs with those splendid Kabul
generals and lighters, Robert K. Jrf, Long
Htreet, Beauregard, Ewell, Uchols, Governor
l'ickens and others. Does this mean har
mony, reunion, and reconstruction among the
military heroes and chiefs of the South with
the military heroes of the North on the basis
of a new Mexican policy and a new fl-jld of
united action for all f Are the men who
fought side by side in our war with Mexico
again to become brothers in arms to regene
rate that country T Tuis is an interesting
question. It is certain nothing wonld tend so
much to allay bad feeling arising out of our
civil war and to unite these men and the
whole country iu fraternal feeling as an out
side war, and the glory of extending our em
pire. But, as we have said frequently, half mea
sures will not do. To use the navy and
amiy of the United States to maintain one
faction in Mexico against the others, or to
support a weak and rotten government that
cannot stand alone, would bo impolitlo and
absurd. The death-knell of Mexico as a na
tionality is sounded. We drove out the Erenoh
and the bogus foreign imperial government at
the risk of war with a great Europeau power
and set the republican government of Mexico
on its legs. It has had a fair chance, but it
cannot exist without foreign aid. The whole
country is disorganized and demoralized politi
cally. Our duty is plain. We should take
not a slice of the northern portion only, for the
benefit of a few speculators, but the whole
country by negotiation if possible, or by force
of arms if we must. The Mexican people have
tried every form of government and have
failed. They have been a constant trouble to
the United States, and may continue to ba so
if allowed to remain in their disorganized con
dition. It would be va-tly to the interest of
both countries that Mexico should be annexed.
The Mexicans would soon value the peace we
should give them, the rapid increase of their
wealth and the glory of being a part of the
great republic, while we should reap the ad
vantage of American enterprise in the richest
country on the globe and in a vast develop
ment of trade and commerce. The time has
crms when all this should be accomplished.
If President Johnson cau see what is for the
interest of his own couutry as well as for
Mexico, and what would give him immortal
fame, he will send General Roseerans away at
once with instructions to work for the imme
diate annexation ot the whole of that territory,
from Arizona to Central America.
The Prospect.
From the AT. Y. Times.
We have heard thus far the voice of Oregon
and of Kentucky. The former came to us
before the Democratic party had announced
either its policy or its candidates. The result
of the election in that State indicates, there
fore, no more than did the elections of last
autumn. Those elections proved clearly that
there was an aversion to an extreme policy.
When the election was held in Oregon, it was
the general impression that the Democratio
party would take a far different course from
that which it actually adopted in July; that it
would learn a lesson from former defeats; that
it would honestly accept the popular verdict
of 1800, and reject its exploded fallacies of
State iovereignty and "a white man's Govern
ment." This impression proved to be false;
and when Oregou speaks next November we
fliall witness the indignation of the people
of that State against a party which has reo
pened questions that were supposed to be
Eettled at the cost of so much blood and
treasure.
The result of the election in Kentucky is
not strange. In 1800 the Democratic vote, a3
against the Republican, stood 143,703 to
1304. In 1804, when the Union sentiment
was quickened by the existence of a struggle
then actually going on between loyalty and
treason, the Union vote rose to 27,7(5 against
an opposition of G4;301. This vote, it will
be remarked counting both the Union and
the opposition fell over 50,000 short of the
vote of IsOO, and these 50,000 voters were
in the Confederate army. If they had voted,
the opposition would have reached 118,000.
They were present in 180G; yet the justice of
the fourteenth amendment was so evident
that the Republican vote gained over 30,000,
rising to 08,035. In 1807 the reaction af
fected Kentucky as it did other States, and
the Republican vote stood 33, 039 against an
opposition of 103,31)2. This year, owing to a
local sentiment peculiar to Kentucky, and
which cannot be considered as affecting any
Northern State, there has been a transference
of nearly 8000 votes to the Opposition, which
has also gained from other sources about 4000
more; so that the result stands, Opposition,
115,524, Republican, 20,275, giving a Demo
cratic majority of 81),24li, against a majority
last year of 0i,453. No one who understands
the terrorism which prevails iu Kentuoky can
be surprised at this result. And in this con
nection it is a remarkable fact that the total
vote cast this year is less than in 1800, and
14,000 less than in 1800. It is estimated and
we see no reason to doubt the statement that
at the late election fully 25,000 votes were not
polled, two-thirds of whioh have been Repub
lican. Thus the Kentucky election, when we
consider all the elements which entered into
it, gives really no indication as to the vote in
Other States, and by no means justifies the
premature confidence of the Democratio party.
We are not disposed to be over-contilent,
but we believe that the elections to be held in
Vermont and Maine, on the 1st and 14th of
September, will, result in strong Republican
gains over the majorities of 1807. In Califor
nia, which holds its election September 2,
there was a Democratio majority of over 9000
last year. But the Republican vote was then
divided between two candidates. This Stale
gave Lincoln a majority of 18,000 in 18t34, and
we believe it will give Grant as large a majo
rity in November.
On the 13th of October four State3 hold
eltctions Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsyl
vania. West Virginia holds its election on the
14th. In regard to the latter State there is no
doubt; in 100 the Republican majority was
nearly 7000, and it will certainly not be less
this autumu. In both Iowa and Indiana we
expect a Republican majority equal to that of
1804. Ohio was carried last year by a Repub
lican majority of 3000; this autumn that ma
jority will be increased probably ten-fold.
Pennsylvania last year gave the Democrats
less than 1000 majority; this year it bids fair,
with proper effort, to go Republican.
But, after all, our trust is not so much in
statistics as iu the people, who have always
shown themselves equal to the emergency
presented. We know that a solid white vote
tan carry all the Southern States for Blair
and Seymour; we know also that many of the
negroes will be coerced to vote the same ticket.
in those states, therefore, we will not venture
a prediction. But it seems to us certain that
iu the Northern States, whera the pnople all
vote freelythere will be bo decided a mtjority
for Giant and Colfax that the Sautuoi'u vote,
whichever way it may tarn, will be of no
importance
Doubtless the DemooraMo party, if it hi
adopted the wisest course, might have retained
over 200,000 votes given in Its favor iu 1807.
But it .has been diving too deep. It
seeks to undermine the very foundations
upon which rest our national prosperity,
credit, and security. Is it to be supposed for one
moment that a party whioh proposes to carry
us back to the situation whioh we occupied in
1 8 00 can be supported by the people 1 And
does not the Democratic party propose pre
cisely this f Does it not go back to the very
questions the agitation about which brought
on civil warf In pronouncing the Recon
struction acts nnconstitutioual and void, it
proposes distinctly to annul the Constitutions
of the reconstructed States, and the moment
this purpose is executed, what follows ? The
disfranchisement of the negroes, in the first
place, and then, in order to keep the black
race in subjection, there must be a return to
the enslavement of negroes in some sort,
either by the old system or by oppressive
black codes like those which reconstruction
suppressed. The success of the Democratio
party, proposing what that party proposes,
would undo all that the war accomplished,
both as regards slavery and State sovereignty.
It is not strange, then, that Cobb and Hamp
ton, and the rest, preach to the South a revival
of the ''lost cause."
But do the people want this "lost cause"
revived f llave they forgotten the war forced
upon them by the Southern branch of the
Democratic party, and the terrible burden of
debt incurred, to say nothing of the sacrifice
of precious lives 1 If they have thus for
gotten, then there is some chance of a Demo
cratio triumph in the November elections. But
the American people are noted for long
memories. They were magnanimous they
were willing to bury the war in the most abso
lute oblivion, when once its legitimate results
were accomplished. But the Democratic party
would not let thera do this. It has revived all
the old issues. The people met those issues
once, and they are prepared to meet them
again.
IJoiinparlc anil Risinark.
From the N. Y. World.
It is a sad mistake to suppose that in the
game which for two years past has been play
ing between France and Prussia for the pri
macy of Europe, all the points, or even the
most important points, have so far been made
by Count Bismark. Alter the campaign which
ended with the great victory of S-idowa, and
which gave Prussia for a moment the supreme
control of the destinies of Germany, came the
peace of Nikol-burg the work mainly, as is
now conceded, of the French Emperor by
which the Prussians were arrested in their
triumphant achievement of German unity.
How serious a cheok was administered to
the ambition of Prussia by the peace of Nik
olsburg Europe is only just now beginning to
appreciate. It is true that for the gravity of
the consequences which have since developed
themselves fioin that peace the vehemence
and obduracy of the Prussian Government in
attempting to ignore the state of things crea
ated by the peace must be largely held re
sponsible. Where Prussia might have con
ciliated and cajoled she has chosen to brow
beat and to alienate the South-German com
munities. She La3 over-estimated the force
of attraction towards herself which resided
in the influence of her brilliant military suc
cess upon the South-Germaa imagination and
in the awakening of the historic and tradi
tional yearnings of the German heart for an
Imperial German uuity. She has under
estimated the force of repulsion from herself
which resided in the spectacle ot l'russian
authority ruthlessly crushing out local inde
pendence and trampling upon provincial pre
judices, as well as in the severity of the Prus
sian military regulations and of the fiscal sys
tem of Prussia suddenly applied to popula
tions long habituated either to a really pros
perous and comfortable autonomy, or to easy
going forms of uuexacting despotism.
But even had Prussia made no such mis
takes as she has made since 1S00, it is certain
that the South German States, which were
protected by the peace of Nikolsburg in their
independence, contained within themselves the
seeds of an inevitable opposition to the Prus
sian scheme for reorganizing Germany around
the Prussian throne. Those seeds might per
haps have been easily killed, and the mistakes
of Prussia neutralized, had the Emperor Napo
leon permitted himself to be carried away
either last year or the year before by the in-
lluence of the great events in Germany upon
the popular feeling In France, and upon the
minds of men who, like M. Thiers, were
trained in the statesmanship of a former age
But the Emperor Napoleon had the good sense
to go to Germany in 1807 himself, and the
coolness to see with his own eyes the actual
condition of affairs in the Southern States
Fortunately for himself and for France, and it
may well be for Germany also, he has since
had the firmness to adhere to the policy of
patience and forbearance which in tim visit,
if never before, suggested itself to his judg
ment as the only policy by which France oould
hope successfully to reconcile the development
of German unity with the maintenance of her
own position in Kurope.
A striking speech delivered at the reoent
grand German Schuetzenfest in Vienna by the
leading journalist of Stuttgart, who is also a
conspicuous member of the Diet of Wurtem
berg, shows tis plainly how much ground the
Emperor has already in this way gained for
the idea of a free German Confederation, upon
Count Bismark's theory of a Prussianized
Germany as set forth iu that constitution of
the North German Confederation which Mr.
George Bancroft has been foolish enough to
liken to the American Union.
In response to a toast given to the "early
restoration of the Fatherland," itself a suffi
ciently t-iguilioaut form of words, Dr. Meyer,
of Stuttgart, a'ter alluding to the impression
that German unity would be attained by the
fusion of the whole Fatherland into the "North
German Confederation," went on to say boldly
and openly, 'speaking for myself, and in the
name of the majority of the Suabian people,
let me tell you that we hold the firm oouvio
tion it is another way whioh is to lead to the
unity and grandeur of Germany. At all
events, it is certain that my country cannot
continue to exist long under the present
regime. In 1800 it happened that a race of
German people wa3 violently expelled from
Germany with foreign aid. But necessity is a
Statesman even stronger than M. Von Bis
mark; and it will be, 1 hope, that statesman
who shall in the end make the uuity of Ger
many." These words, we are told, were reoeived
with immense applause, and the unmistakable
allusion to the violent extrusion of Geronu
Austria from the German family was especially
cheered.
However important it may be to Prussia, in
this Mate of the case, to precipitate a conflict
with France, in the hope that such a conflict
may be easily converted from a Prussian into
a Gei man war, it is equally clear that it is not
less important for Frauoe to postpone such a
conflict. Not to do so now would be for
Napoleon to saeiiflue wantonly all the advrau
tap'H which, at the price of a good deal of
Kiuiubling at home mil of more obloquy
abroad, he hit been quietly winning over his
wily but impetuoua adversary during the put
two years.
And this the more unquestionably that
time, which has thus been working Against
Bisinark and for Bonaparte iu the South, has
linen bringing about a similar result La the
West.
The difficulty of ' last year between Frauoe
and Prussia over the question of Luxembourg,
and thechronio cries whioh from Paris to Ber
lin, and Berlin to Paris, have echoed and re
echoed the passionate song of Carl Backer, and
the scornful response of Alfred de Musaet
about the ownership of the Rhine, these after
all have only indicated that real body of mis
chief in the West over which a war between
France and Prussia, should such a war break
out, will be waged. This is simply the po-i-session
of the Netherlands, under which term
history knows that region lying between
the North Sea and the Rhine which,
after being for ages the "oookpit
of Europe," has known a comparative
tranquility for half a century past as the king
doms of Holland and of Belgium. Of these
two kingdoms Holland alone can be said to
possess a genuine nationality. The Dutch
have a history, a great national character, a
religion, a language of their own. The Bel
gians are made rip of Walloons, of Flemings,
and of Frenchmen. The French language
predominates in their provinces, an 3, save so
far as the long domination of the House of
Austria may be Baid to have made them
Spaniards or Anstrians, there is no reason to
be drawn from the traditions of Flanders and
Brabant, Hainault, and Limbourg, whioh
should lead one to suppose that their people
would find it any more difficult to make them
selves Frenchmen thau their kinsmen of Lille
and Valenciennes have done.
The existence of Belgium as an independent
monarchy since 1S30 has been mainly sup
ported by the existence in France and Eng
land of the old protective system. So long as
this system prevailed, Belgium, which was
taken by England particularly under her wing,
was the natural economio enemy of Franoa,
while she was indispensable to English trade
with the continent. But ever since the esta
blishment by Napoleon in 1801 of compara
tive free trade with England, and particularly
since the adoption by Belgium in 1S05 of the
principles of the Anglo-French treaty, the
natuial drift of things has gradually made a
closer alliance of Belgium with France, de
sirable not only to Belgium and to France but
to England also. Ten years ago a seriou3 pro
ject for the annexation of Belgium to France
would have meant an immediate war be
tween France and England. To-day such
a project wonld be quite as likely to be for
warded as to be thwarted even by a Tory
Government in England; and it is extremely
probable that Lord Stanley's reoent and rather
ostentations declaration that France and Eng
land were quite at one in regard to the "pre
sent and prospective events" on the Conti
nent, may have been meant to convey a
distinct intimation of this important fact to
the Prussian Government. For up to this
mcment the only distinct effect whioh has
been produced in the Netherlands by the
menacing possibility of a Franco-Prussian
conflict for the possession of that ancient and
fertile region has been to rouse the Dutch into
a fever of hostility to Prussia, while the party
in Belgium friendly to union with France has
gained strength with each new demonstration
of Count Bismark's ambition.
Whatever may be the issue, then, of the
actual and most interesting state of things in
the Old World, history, at least, will give the
palm of practical statesmanship during the
critical period which ha3 elapsed since the
thunder-storm of July, 1S00, to the head of
the Bonapartes, rather than to the right hand
of the Hohenzollern.
