DOVIITH'UL STATE The editor of tile- North Atherton, in his paper of the 4th inst., goes into• a very fair and candid examination of tho !'Doubtful rStatett," on which the Democrats base their calculations to defeat Mr. Lincoln. The 'so calleCieubtful States are New Y OrV, Penn sylvania, New JeraCy and Indiana; the three first to be made so by attempted combinations of the Douglas, Breckenridge . and Bell forces; and, in discussing the chances, the writer goes into 41n eiaminatiou of the majorities hereto fore given in these States, for, the several par ties, froin which we make a few etliacm: In 1856 New York-cast 80 129 ,more votes for Fremont than for Buchanan—certainly a very handsome majority. ,It _is certain that_ no more democratic votes will now bo thrown than were then given to Buelianan..and none of those then given to Fremont willfail ro'be given to Lincoln. The truth probably will bo that 20,006 votes then given to Buchanan will now go to Lincoln; but what is far more important. is the certainty that at least half 4110.124.600 then given to. Fillmore will now go to Lincoln. If this - la . the ease, tinnoln's majority will be 80,000 ttithout,anY.defection from the former Buchanan 'ranks.: With 10,000 it'o leaving the hroken-np, tlentocraV, Lincoln's majority will be.loo;ooo,;,but as the latt-distinotivn American vote was . lase than 50.900, and very great. changes from that dis tinctive party'have since that time beep made to Lincoln's,. it will be nearer the truth to coOnt three:fourths of the Fillmore vote of 1856 forlihcoln; making his vote 349,600. to 227,000 for all others, a majority of 142,600 over all. This is far, nearer the probebility• arrived al from the - best judgment applied to the vote at the election of 1856 than either of the former calculations. 'The vote of Fremont was 276.007: of• Buchanan, 195,878; of Fill i Mine' 124,004. Lincoln's vote will certainly be enlarged from the .democratic ranics: 'hut ' w7e,have.made no account of thitt,'Oadtting the gain of three-fourths of the FillmOre vote only. A. tew democrats now noisily go, for order to frighten' people intelhe be lief that there is,,greac . entliusirtam that way: . yet :when voting lime comes, most of these, will prefer to remain "right on the record," and will each vote for' the democratic faction of hiti choice, and despise the useless fusion to which he is invited. The least. majority for Lincoln in ,New-York 80.000,'whIle li it is far more likely greatly to exceed that figure. I Indiana is another Stale claimed by fusion lets to be doubtful. In 1856 it•gave 24,000 majority to Buclianan. and less than 23,000 votes to Fillmore, many old Whigs going straight for the . eupiosed conservative patriot Buchanan, because they were sure he would be elected if they did. 'Now they have had enough of such patriots and even the temp taticin or pretence that they may elect one is wholly wanting except they elect Lincoln. In 18 8; parties were very nearly evenly ba lanced in Indiana, though the greatest por tion of the Americans voted with the' demo crate, giving that party 1,600 majority. clear to all in Indiana that Lincoln's majority, cannot fall below-10,000 in the present utter confusion of the democrats, and with the new enthuriasm forit new and honest man, Harri son? carried it by' 13,700 majority. Fusion . will avail nothing in Indiana. New Jersey gave, in 1866, some 6000 more votes for Fremont and Fillmore together then for Buchanan. At the State election a year since. Olden, the People's Parry , candidate. had 1600 majority, the democratic party re maining intact. Now the demociatic party is quite broken up, and a decided gain is made from its ranks both to Lincoln and to Bell. TwO-thirds of the American vote of 1856 will 'go for Lindoln, and'the disgust at the fusion ticket is such that no rally can be made for it in the name of either party tq it. The ma jority for Lincoln will not be large, but it can scarcely fall below thit'of Olden, and may go to 6000 votes. There is a remote chance, to "defeat Lincoln" in New Jersey—a very re• mote chance, however,—which could only take from him six votes if successful. . Pennsylvania ie the only. remaining debate, ble ground. •In 1868 the Congressional ma jorities together made up about 42,600 major ity against the democrats, hot counting the independent. anti Lecompton candidates in the first and ninth districts on either side. Read's majority' for Supreme Judge was about 27,000, the vote on the State. ticket not being of na- tional importance equal to the Congressional, and therefore not bringing out so sharp a con test. In 1869 the 'People's. State ticket had 18,000 majority on a very light vote. There are two points only to be considered now, the first of which is the extent .of the diversion from the People's party effteted by the nomi nation of Mr. Bell, and next, the diversion from the democratic ranks, caused by the un: preeedented aliases of the present Adtninie tration. From the vote for Buchanan in 1859 at least 80,000 votes must be taken to repre sent the lotia of real Whigs and conservatives, and of (lemmata Tilegueled with the falsity of the party to the industrial interests of the State, and the protracted outrages perpetrated against the interests of free labor. The two divisions of the party will throw in the aggre gate only about 200,000 'votes, probably not so many, while 'the _280,000 thrown. against Buchanan in .1556 will lose but. IS or 20,000 at most, to Roll, and will gain at linet an equal number from 'democratic and non•voting sources,. as compared with .1866. Thus Lin coln will have 80,000 over the johlt demo cratic ticket, and'atleset 10,000'bver all. If the projected fusion is. finally attempted the majority of Lincoln may go to 50,000., .1t may be added that all .the remaining Northern States are conceded to Mr. Lincoln.
