From one eud ef the state to ive other the Potcians are Susy and the aluinp orators delivering Memoir windy syoccues to the assembied erowds. Bota Political parties represent teat their mestings are largely wateenstod aud thas everywhere they go they receive promises that ther veto will be largely iereased. Beth parties are, therefore, sanguine of suogess, Since votb ‘the demo ¢ and repudlicay parties Claim the same abiny, we aro compelied to come to the concluswa Abat either Goo OF bott sets Of tere party leaders are ‘budty wold. {t 4s impossible for us to seo how both partes cau be successful, and, further, bow e possible tbat both parties can incrouse ‘Auear votes, We bavo received no intelligence smce the dwsi Stuto election that there were ao unusua: number of youn; wen coming of ago since that time. Nor has we emigration, unlees it is from Meade’s army, been of such ‘@ pature as Lo guarantee any such results. But still we are told by eacb sct that thero isno doubt of thew euccers™ The asscrtion of one sido without the direct ovidence to fouck it is just as good as the other. When doctors dis- ‘agree who ts to decide? When the election returas come im we thivk the truth of the whole mattor will be found tm the folowing statement @f au oid conservative and practical republican, who now occupies such a peition aa the party a8 to be able to judge ax wel) aM any portion how the current is settiog. Whou by a democrat what he thought of he prospect of tho elegtion, the republican replied — “We shall cat to your vote in this locality largely, and also ity some of the river counties, but when wo go west wf Albany into some of var old strougboids we tear a aif- ferent story.” This stateaet is audoabtediy about as correct as any persou could havo stated the position of the canvass. The fact of the matter i, there will be changes in the vote where they are the least expected, nor aro the changes allvn one side, Jn someof the democratic strougholds the repnblicans will gain and in olbers luse. The same tule xppties to the republican districts iu tho m- jerior, Jo most of the counties that bave bLoretofore roited oj their large = majorities the democrats will gain, bot the question ig, will they ain more than ihey joso elsowborc? Had Tammany Hall on her jocal Heket refused Lo unite with Mozart and come out with a Mecided and empbatic war platform, there would not bave docu a shadow of doubt as tothe resuit in the State. But or aifitintion with Mozart is handled in such a way inthe souniry districts that ithus cased a waverirg inthe winds of mavy who were louking im that direction. The wote, from alt acconuts, will uot be heavy; a smali yote Jempared with last yeue may bo anticipoet, acd the wotest close, There will bo put littio diferetue, Figures of some of the sbrevdest canvassers iD the State, who tove been ali over the State wd judged of tho vomtest by previous odservation, put down the probsvle result about oo the following busis:— IC thagity of New York should give anywhere between *ighteen and txenty-five thousand dewoerutic majoriy, Abe democratic ticket will be electod, if uader thut amouos the reput:iicans will be sucessful, The counts of the votes alter the election are the beat figures; they will Le ‘und to be the uourast correct.

The Union League of Massachusetts. Beeston, October 26, 1863. SPEECH OF GENFRAL BUTLER. ‘Tho Stute Leaguo of Massachusetts bas elected General B. F. Butler, of Lowel), and Mr. Claflin, of Newton, dele- gates at large to the National Union League, which meets ut Washington io December. Delegates from each Cop- gressional district were also chosen. Geveral Butler addressed the meeting at length, taking ground with those who believed that the seceded States bave anuibilated themselves as States while the power f the general govornment stil; romains intact over their territory. He opposed the position of a member of tho Cabinot, that the rebel commonwealths, by throwing down their arms, should be received into the Union with unimpaired rights, with gbeir old local institations, His reasoos for dictating terms before allowing the tncorpo- ration ixto the Union of these heretofore hostile sections, spcong from considerations vitaily affecting the jutcrosts und safety of the pation. If the Copfedernte States are readmitted, and their representatives take their voats in Congress veforo some radical change is effected, what guarantee ie there that the federal national debt wi)! aot be repudiated or made to stand upon tho alteruative that the Confederate debt must Jikewiee bo pail? Let this question come beforn Congress, and all the apphances of corruption would be fet in motion to secure such @ decision ag would jiace the federal and repel indebtednos@ upon tho same footing. General Butler contended shat the rebel States must be regarded 28 destroyed, or it would bo almost immporsibie to chooee another President for the reagou that uo caudidate jikeiy to he relected would receive such a support in the North as to give bim & majority of the whole Flecwural College, constituted of all tie States, both loyal and rebel. Trans- fer the question to the House of Keprosentatives, where ach euuumouwealth casts only one vole, and a majority of such votes is required, ane tho difftcutey will be greatly wcreaced. Tho policy of safety and justice was to restore the Unicv ip the South only a6 fast as the priaciples of freedom and Joyalty are ex:ended over the udw rebel domaly.

OPERATIONS OF THE RECENT DRAFT. The Quota of This City Bighteen Thousand Men, &e., &e., oe. Letter of Provost Mar Gemerai Pry te Secretary Stanton, Provost Mansuat GEenkrar’s Orrice, ‘Wasuixaton, D. ©., Oct. 19, 1863, Sm—I have the honor to report for your information certain general facts connected with the drafé, as shown by reports made up to this time. The machinery for executing the’ Eoroiment act is in complete working order. Tho law as it stands cannot bo made to develop the chtire military strength of the nation, and the execution of it bas beew rendered exceed- ingly difficult by the efforts made in various ways to re- sist or evade it, or to escape from its vperation. Ite fruits, therefore, are not as abundant as they will be from a perfect law and more thoroughly established system of executing it. All the advantages, however, which could reasouably have been expected from the law are accruing. Its general principles distribute the burdens of milita- ry servicefairly among those liable to bear them; but there 18 perhaps more generosity than justness in some of its humane provisions, With certain modifications, which can readily be made by Congress, the military strength of the country may, by the direct and indirect operations Of this act, be surely and cheaply brought into the Geld. Several of the Western States have not been subjected to the present draft, on account of the excess of volun teers heretofore furvished, an@ from the same cause tho quotas in other Western States are rendered quite small. The present draft is therefore but a partial one, and no specific total was established as the quota for it. Of those drawn iu the present draft, including the Ofty per cent additional, over eighty per ceut have reported, 4p accordance witb the orders of the boards. Of the ‘twenty per cent who have not reported, many are not wilful deserters, being unavoidably absent, at sea and ‘the like, Tho deserters are being arrested. Of ajb examined about thirty per cent have been ex- empted on accoupt of physical disability, about thirty per cent bave been exemptcd under the provisions of the second fection of the act, or found vot liable to military Cuty on account of alienage, unsuitableness of pon- residents, &c. Those who are not liable to military duty, and form no part of the national forces, and therefore have been erroneously enrolled, appear in the general re- ports of the boards among those exempted, because their non-liability to serve could not be established until they came before the boards. The number of the exemptions is thus made to appear much farger than it really is. ‘About forty per cent of the men examined have been eld teservice, and bave entered the army in pereov, furnished substitutes, or paid commutation. About one-half of thove held to service Dave paid com- mutation ; of the remainder about one-third have gone in person and two-thirds have furnished substitutes, and alt except a few in transit aud a smail proportion of desert ers from among the earlier subetitotes accepted are in the ranks of tbeir regimente % froat of the enemy. it is fair to suppose that most of those who wilfully fail to report, and thus become de- serters are physically fit for service. If they had been ex- amined, the proportion exempted for physical disability would bave been reducea to about twenty-five per cent. ‘The proportion of exemptions would be stil? farther re- duced by purging the enroiment lists de‘ore draft of all cases of manifest unfitness and of aliens and others not Mabie to military duty, as may be done where this sys. tem of raising troope is well established. ‘The proportious above given are based upon the reports Up to this time trom the seventy-three Congressional dis- trict where the draft bas been completed or bas most nearly approached completion. Since the present rebeliivn began about 200,000 sul- diers, after entering service, nave been discharged on surgeon's certificate of disability. it is probable that at Jeast one-half of them were unfit for service when re ceived. Jt may be safely said that forty millious of mo- hey was useless!y expended in bringing them into the field, to say nothiog of their subecquent espense wo the government. in Great Britain, unger the system of voluntary enlist ments, the rejectione average over iwenty seven per cent. In France, (rom 1831 to 1842, the average number of exemptions annually wae 94,860; #o that to secure the CoULINgent of 80,000 mex 174,500 copscr pis were annually examined Of the recruits who presented therrelves for eu!ist- ment in our regular army in 1852, seventy per cent were rejected for physica) infirmities, exclusive of age or sta- ture. Between let January aud let July last more toan ope-balt were rejected. These wore men who desired to be accepted. These proportions are of interest in con Bection with the fact that less than one-third of the drafted men who deeire Bot to be accepted bave been ex empted on account of physical unfitness. There have deen but few cases of incompetency, fraud, neglect or abuse ip the examination of Grafted men. These men bave, however, in many ways becn swindled by rogues having no con Bection with the boards of enrolment, as, for ex- ample, tbe fact that certam drafted men were physically untt for service has become known to these sharpers, when it was perhaps not known to the men themselves, ‘and they have so fir imposed upon the ignorance or ere. dulity of the drafted men as to get from them sums of money to secure an exemption to which the rogues knew they were entitled and would surely receive, and the drafted men, Onding themselves exempted, as promised, Dave sometimes thought and given out that they secured exemption by bribery of arafting officers, whereas they ‘were legally entitled to exemption, aud bave themselves ‘Deen swindled by sbarpers. All bas been done that seemed proper under existing laws to check these evils, and to meet properly the few cases of criminality and incompetency which have oc- curred among the officers of this bureau. All the expenditures up to this time on account of this bureau, including the enrolment, draft and pay of offcers: and persous connected with it, are but little over $1,200,000. These expenditures include all made on ac count of the Inachinery which has produced the arrest and retmrn of twenty thousand deserters. ‘The amoust of money received from the draft up to tbis date is wvont ten times as great as all the expenses jnourre:| on account of the Larolment act. Those resulting from the New York riots are not, hewever, included in thin statement, as they are more properiy attributabié to other cauecs and other persons than to the draft or the officere of this bureau.

The increase in the number of days’ work performed is 29,74834, and the increase in the number of loads of stroet dirt and manure removed js 11,305. The expense of performing this work appears at the first blush to have been much greater in 1863; but, if all thiugs be taken into consideration—the increased cost of labor and the greater amount of work performed in 1863—in will be found that the expense bas in reality not been #0 t.‘This, the actual cost of the sweeping, al of $1 50 per diem to each ret 1863, at the rate of $1 75 per diem to each laborer, the cest bas been $51,819 59, Had the same umount of work beeu performed in 1859 as in 1863, 4t the same rate of the expense would have been 1 howing a decrease of expense for 1863 ‘of $4,900 333 1 this single item of labor.
