Burvato, Nov. 2, 1860 Fhe Resi Position of the Contending Forces— Effect of the Spl: in the Democracy—The Republicans Sanguine— Dreir Opponents Lavewarm, dc Im the present canvases there are several interesting poiots which are deserving of particular notice. It is universally the cees that, although stimulated with the bope of success in the State, and with the expectation of clecting their Preci¢ential candidate, there has not been 0 much intereet or excitement manifested among the republicans thie fall as there was in the Fremont cam. paign of 1966; and if the observations of those competent to jurge are correct, there will be only a few counties ‘Shat will give se large a comparative majority for Lincoln as they gave for Fremont, even allowing them the benoit ef the additionel votes which they will receive by the in- srease of popeiction. The democratic split at Charleston has had a decidedly aneful influence on the prospecte of the democracy; and although efforte were made to heal tho wound by uniting all the elemenie of the epporition upon a Union electoral ticket, and while that Sicket will receive as hearty @ support as could be ex- pected under the circumstances, yet there is a bitter hostility exieting between the Douglas aad Breckinridge factions, which will have some influemse on the Presiden. Wal vote, although it will be more distinctly manifested ea the State “and county tickets, In some individual where this feeling assumes an irreconeilabie ach hostile party, to epite the other, will either vote for their own electors only or go directly over to Lincoln.

A fort of lethargy or indifference seems to porvade the democratic le thoroughly harmonious cnton has caused a want of vigor our effort, while a general lack of funds from the State Commitice bas had additional ‘atlaence in producing an unmistakeable inertness. The fear of defeat has had a desponding tendency, and those, among other causes, will make the democratic vote this fall much lees than it would be onder more favorable circumstances. Yet many of the democrats with private means are working bard, and, with the co operation of the Uaton men, seem determined to maiatain the reputation of the ancient aud wnterrided democracy. It is found that in the business localities, where the population has increased by imm| gration—eepecially where the Irish bave setiled—the do. mocrats will show considerable gains. The republicans have everything to stimulate thom to Whe mort vigorous and effective effort. Tho unexpected results of the Pennsylvania, Obio and Indiana State el Cons, giving unlooked for republican majorities, have ta red them with «renewed hope and geal.

When the foture historian of the ninoteonth century comes to speak of our progress he will point to the universal abolition of slavery as the sure sign of the high civilization of the epoch. He may also have to tell over the millions expended in thie glorious project, bat be will say that the sacrifice was due to bamanity, and that the ‘li gotten gains bad to be refanded. If, have said, any system can be devised to render th cnniary loss jess or turn the change to a profit, the fait! fol register of past events will with pleasure record that the covntry of DeWitt was (ret and foremost in this genious discovery. For our own part we are willl fet down our «fforts to suppress slavery to the duiy owe to our Christian character snd high civilization—a duty which must be performed almost regardiess of iabor and money. This is making ® gracd oa Sa q he fasts which the people who abolish slaver: counter.

Sarcapar, Nov. 3—6 P. M. The steamships City of Washington and Borussia sailed to-day for Europe, the former with no ape- cie, the latter with $166,700 on freight. BEx- change closed more firmly, some of the leading drawers having advanced their rates. There was quite a lively inquiry for money at the close; rates were from 6 a 7 for call loans. The stock market was dull to-day, and very litde business was transacted. Both bulls and bears are waiting to see the result of the election before they operate. It seems to be generally expected that, if Lincoln carries the State of New York, another panic in stocks will be inevitable, and the specula- tive railway shares will fall ten to fifteen per cent.
