You may ask me what will the democracy ef the State, who have no sympathy with the Blanton Duncan movement, do? Will they all vote Sor Grecley, or will a portion vote for Grant ? After all Lhave observed and heard through the thickly populated counties of the; middle tier I have no hesitation in saying that not ten democrats in ten thousand will hand their votes in for Grant, and at that estimate his democratic support of an active, mot passive, character is not worth considering, But when I come to consilier THE PASSIVE DEMOCRATIC VOTE, She stay-at-home vote, then the question assumes ; anotber phase. Every democrat who stays at home to warm his toes at the fire in place of airing his patriotism at the polls records one vote for Grant. Now the question is, how many will do s0? How many will stay at home out of apathy or dis- gust? lanswer by declaring 1 am satisfied a great many will, andif it were possible that the mancu- ‘vres now going on in your city to divert a share of the democratic vote to Grant—say fifteen thousand ‘VYotes—turn out successful, then the State is lost to Greeley.

Walking gentleman not in office and only getting his expenses will decorously recite the political laid down for hum, ana hurry off to dinner when. he gets through with his job, Im the counties where the repuphcans hold a majority—and that is in forty-seven out of the sixty—the Grant speakers have had good meetings, but a few of the united liberal and democratic demonstrations in this region have been of & very imposing character, At Lockport, Niagara county; Rochester, Monroe county; Elmira, Chemung coun- ty; Buffalo, Erie county; at Utiga, the home of Frank Kernan, and at Syracuse, some of the late liberal and democratic gatherings have be en rous- ing ones, ‘THE SORROWS OF TOM ALVORD. Tom Alvord is not quite as sure of his being elected to the Assembly this year as he is of going the way ofall flesh. Having washea his hands of the regular republican household, he has now to depend on the loyalty of the liberals and the charity of the democrats for his re-election. Speak- ing to the Old War Horse as to his chances, he looked sorrowfully out over the bridge of my nose into the street, and, having counted all the cobblestones down to the canal, he said he thought it would be a tight race. He said he had 900 ofa majority to overcome, and shook his head as much as to say, It is about as casy to get over that little diMculty as to climb # greased pole with one leg. POPULARITY OF KERNAN—DIX WANTED. Prank Kernan will probably run ahead of his ticket in all the counties west of Utica. Demo- crats, who have no notion of voting for Greeley, will vote for Kernan, and the liberals are enthu- siastic for him. His character is thought very highly of by all classes. It belongs to that high chivalrous type so rare in these degenerate days. Dix is wanted up this way to recite that famous piece of his, “Whoever shoots down the American flag haul him up on the spot.” Roscoe Conkling, Henry Wilson and Sydney Perham are taking an active part in the canvass on the Grant side. Itis something to see CONKLING ON THE STUMP. He is not quite the greatest wiseacre and states- man who has lived since the days of Moses, but he tries to make Wis country audiences think 80. Conkling desires them to go away with the impres- sion that no greater man ever came before and that there is no manner of chance for any one as great tocome after him. Wilson grinds the same old organ, the tune beginning “The republican par-tee is the par-tee of liberty, humanity and great moral i-dears,”” UNCERTAIN COUNTIES—PAST INDICATIONS. Clinton county has shown much fluctuation in its vote within the past four years. It gave Grant over 500 majority in 1868, Nextyear it turned clear Secretary of State, In 1870 1t went 700 democratic In the county of Onondaga (by no means Bour- bon), with a democratic vote of 9,000, five per cent, Or 450, will stay at home. Suppose ] took this asa Triterion of the passive vote for twenty counties iying between the Lakes and Herkimer and Otsego, with a democratic vote of 110,000, I should have a flead loss of 5,500 votes, Multiply that by three and you have an estimate on what would be about the democratic vote outside of New York city. Add 15,000 of active votes for the city, equal to 80,000 passive ones, and the result is a grand total for Grant of 46,500. Put the ‘“straight-out” on to Mhie and you see Greeley has a hard row to hoe in the Empire State. I believe I am putting the | Hgures down at the lowest estimate. STRENGTH OF THE LIBERAL VOTE. Now we come to consider the strength of the Wberal republican vote. I said in my last that I thought it “a strong reality.” Well, 8o it is, es- pecially as we were all disposed to think, alter Maine, Vermont, Ohio and Pennsylvania, that it was as innocent a delusion as “a castle in the air.” would confine the liberal republicans’ strength almost wholly to the names whereot you hear from me to time as coming out for Greeley. Whoever comes out of Nazareth has the fact duly told to the world. The strong reality of diberalism that pre- | sents itself in this part of the State is, frst of | all, the call for a meeting in Monroe county, bearing the signatures of 500 republicans; the ascertained fact by count of 200 liberals in the county of Cortland, of 1,200 in Onondaga and 160 in Oswego. The numbers here given come from Bhe canvassers. I have advices that a correspond- ing liberal strength exists in Chautauqua, Cattar- ‘@ugus, Steuben, Yates, Seneca, Ontario and Erie, THE INFLUENCE OF FENTON is felt in this section as far east ag Madison. Fen- | fon’s is the name that gave existence and vitality to the liberal movement in this part of the | State. The fact should be borne in mind m making | estimates of the liveral strength all over, for the | refection comes that liberalism in Fenton's | district means as much of personal feeling as of patriotism. Who is the magnetic liberal , Jeader anywhere else outside the city of New York? We must keep the case of Pennsylvania steadily in view to reach anything like @ fair judgment on the situation. Curtin was certainly as great a tower of strength to liberalism in his State as Fenton is im this, yet we find that, with the exception of a | men bearing every imprint of philosophy. few counties that cherished his name and char- acter, his influence on his party was nil. Onon- Gaga has an exceptionally large liberal strength. This is diffused among the counties that surround | it on the north, south, east and west—Chemung, Cortland, Madison, Cayuga and Oswego. A SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATE, You have then to jump across some counties to Chantaugua, where Fenton lives, and among the counties which cluster around that corner of the State you will find his influence permeated, theu, are two clusters of counties in which the Siberal movement, springing from the example of one man, finds its strength. Calculating as nearly as I can the number of liberals all told in the region ever which Fenton breathes the animating breath of life, J would put it down at 5,700. If the differ- ence between that and 50,000 active and passive democrats on the side of Grant can be made up by the liberals Horace Greeley is sa TREMENDOUS RFFORTS OF THE ADMINISTRATION. But afew weeks are left of the canvass, and ‘what do we find? The State, from end to end, Silled with administration orators, while the speak- ing for the liberals has to be done by a few, and chiefly by Frank Kernan and Horatio Seymour, both of whom lack the necessary magnetism for a country audience, and poor Pat Corbett, who is fworking like a Trojan and talking like a whole lemy for the cause. Poor Pat is worked to + Meath. The people crowd to hear him, and when that mellow brogve of his goes rolling through the ‘woods and valleys, like thunder set to music, no man can believe that the side for which he fights could fa). He is helped along by General Tom Bourke, of New York, very eficientiy. The Grant side has a tremendous host of advo- cates, among Whom are two reverend colored gem- men, Henry Garnet and W. F. Butler. 1 have be- fore me a jist of forty-two speaxere. who will hold forth ip disferent parts of the State to-worrow, and for Governor Hoffman, but last year it turned over again to the republicans with 140 majority. Clin- won has heretofore, except on one occasion, been on the winning side, and this time, I hear, 1t is on the side of the liberals. As an index of the popu- lar current it is more reliable than any of the other counties, and I for one shall take Clinton for my guiding star. It lies at the extreme northeastern corner of the State, on the road to Saratoga. Chemung county is another of the “unsartain” ones. It went for Grant in 1868, but it has gone stead- ily for the democrats since, and may be put down as balanced between Grant and Greeley. It ison | the Erie road, and has Elmira for its capital. The Erie influence had something to do with changing its vote from the republican to the democratic side, but that influence has little weight now since the demise of Tammany Hall. Montgomery county belongs to the unreliable class, too. It went for Grant by a small majority | in 1868, The two succeeding years it recorded itselfon the democratic side, and last year it re- turned to the republican fold. Rensselaer, Schuy- ler and Schenectady are the only remaining ones that give us by their course in the past any anxiety as to their conduct in the future. All three went for Grant, though in previous years having gone democratic. I think if your readers will ponder a little over — calculations in the early part of this letter they find much to assist them in reaching some idea as to the rest of ‘aselaac canvass. THE GERMAN FE FREE THI THINKERS. pasiesenlermne rier aie No More Presidents To Be Elected— Neither of the Candidates Fitted ee the Position. A highly intellectual gathering of German ladies | and gentlemen took place last evening at the New York Turn-Halie, Fourth street, under the auspices of the German Woman's Rights Association and the Free Thinkers’ Association. The latter are a class of gentlemen who may be styled philosophers inevery sense of the word. The object of this meeting was for the purpose of discussing the pro- ject to abolish the office of President of the United States and in lieu thereof let the Legislature ab- sorb the Executive power. On the speaker's platform were seated a nymber of very attractive ladies, and some twenty gentle- Mr. Op- penheim was elected as presiding officer. He addressed the meeting at some length. in which he | deprecated the system of choosing @ President, inasmuch 8 he wielded so enormous a power, | which can be handled with @ terrible force for destruction. He hoped that we possess a “Bratus,”’ who at no distant period will rise to destroy the growing oligarchy. CARL HEINTZEN, of Boston, was introduced, who read his speech, the main points maae by him being numerous arguments for the abolition of the Presidency. He deprecated the bitterness of the Here, | Campaigns, and YS ee bitter on Horace Greeiey, whom he denounced as most unfit to occupy any official position. If Horace Greeley and the German Senator can convince him (the Speaker) that they have not stoopea during the fore campaign, and even before, to the meanest be Aggrrens and political trickery he would cheer- | tau support them. Both were political traitors ; and no more to be trusted than the person who | puts his hand in his fellow man’s pocket. (Hisses aud applause.) Abolish the Presidency, vest his | power in the Legisiature, and the contemptible | a of elections and the engendered corrup- | pe tions will then be obviated. The choice between resent Presidential incumbent and the would- Chief Magistrate was between “horse flesh and Hecht wood chops.” (Appiause.) In this strain Cari Heintzen continued, eliciting Tepeated applause and derision, and at the close | gave way to Mrs, Clara Neymanh, a very handsome and melligent lady, who epoke at some Jength, ad- vocating woman's right to suffrage, ei aaaiiel the ous and, no doubt to her, nt reasons that the ladies were eminently entitied te polical suffrage. ‘The following document was circulated among the audience, besides the bylaws of the Woman's Rights Association and @ blank for signatures to ip :— cers geee Ag pace © ema RADICAL, DEMOCRATS.

It determines the aim of every article init. But, as when of old “the sons of God assembled, and meame also among them,” so, in the form of bride selfish interest, came lso ‘the evil spirit among our fathers in the framing of the Constitution, Compromises that established and protected the evil of slavery amon; hs were. adopted, instead of cutting tt up root and > ant ig aired branch.” as the logic of free institations: and the future happiness and prosperity of the people demanded. And ever since that tine, n for what the divisions oi party in this country, no matter what honest differences of opinion have arrayed men into different Political organizations, the real thing that the people at large have had to contend with is the pride, the seltish- ness and the corruption thathave crept in among their temporary rulers.

Questions of tariff or free trade, gold or paper curre Danks or no banks, are settled by great commercial ai social laws over which individuals have httle control.

Yesterday morning, between three and four o'clock, @ fire broke out in St. John’s Roman Catholic church, at Orange, N. J., @ new and exceedingly handsome Gothic edifice, completed afew years ago ata cost of about $100,000. The fire is supposed to have originated in the ‘Chapel of the Blessea Virgin Mary,”’ where stood a statue of the Christ-Mother, decorated with artificial flowers, and alongside it a lamp which was always kept burning. A draft air probably carried the flame of this to the pombusabis surrounding, and thence to the building. fire depart was promptly alarmed and, with the aid of ex-Mayor Ropes and Father Vassallo, the assistant of Father Hickey, the pastor, soon suc- ceeded in saving the main building. The loss will not exceed $15,000. Some estimate it at $6,000 less. There are insurances on the building for $80,000, The walls throughout are smoked and be- grimed, One of the statues of Jesus, brought from Rome by Father Hickey, is destroyed, while another is bad!y damaged. One of the most curious facts connected with the fre is that the costly altar, which is only a few feet from the little chapel,which ‘was entirely destroyed, is in no way injured. The edifice was the result of years of labor on the part of Father Hickey. _ Bus: ESS OPPORTUNITIES, A RARE CHANCE—TO HELP BUY CHEAP AND admirable Property for a Villa Park, near the city.
