une claims over 10,000 majority for the Union ticket in New York, and that members of Congress enough have been gained to secure the requisite two-thirds vote in the House of Representatives for passing the prohibition of slavery by constitutional amendment. The New York delegation stands twenty- two Union to nine Democrats. The World concedes Lincoln's election, claiming, however, New York, Kentucky, New Jersey and Missouri for McClellan. Pennsylvania, Delaware, Oregon, California and Nevada it considers in doubt, but thinks they have most likely gone for Lincoln. The Times claims 133 electoral votes for Lincoln, with a probability of his receiving all the rest except Kentucky, Missouri, and probably New Jersey. The Tribune puts on its bulletin board that New York has gone for Lincoln by not less than 3,000 majority. The majority for Brooks for Congress, Eighth district, (New York city,) is reported at 125. The States claimed for McClellan certainly are: Kentucky

is known to set down a large majority for the right side — say 10,000. Minnesota promises at least 2,500 Union majority. Iowa never falters. She will rival Vermont in unanimity for the good cause, her majority being reported at the magnificent figure of 50,000. Missouri is just heard from. Large Union majorities are reported, and everybody concedes that the Unionists carry the State by a handsome figure. The entire Radical State ticket is thought to be elected. Kansas, Nevada, California and Oregon have thus far failed to report; but there can be no doubt as to the result in any of them. Some persons are uncertain about California, but she cannot escape the Union whirlwind. Kentucky holds fast to her idols. We had some hopeful Union majorities along the Ohio border; but farther back the secession sympathizers came out strong for McClellan, and the State will give him about four-fifths of all his "majorities."

The Westward Movement. --A Northern paper estimate the overland emigration during the past season at over 130,000 persons.

The main body of the emigrants have located in Colorado, Nevada, Utah, California, Indiana and Montaria, Oregon, Washington, New Mexico and Arizona have had comparatively few accessions.

he frailest of titles? Why not, then, at once give up a law, for the sake of perpetual peace, which all nations, in time of war, have regarded as temporary. Next comes the amnesty proclamation, with all its exceptions as to the great offenders. Why not make this general, without exceptions? Are we afraid of them? Do we fear their re-appearance at the Federal capital? Are we of the free North--every State of which is committed and sworn against slavery, with West Virginia, Maryland, Nevada and the incoming free territories — afraid to admit any of our countrymen, submitting to the Constitution and obeying the laws, to all the privileges of the American Union? If we are, we are unworthy of the destiny which has been transmitted to us by our fathers and theirs, or shall we send the rapidly demoralizing rebel army into Mexico? Shall we allow it to reinforce the minions of Louis Napoleon and Maximilian? Shall we hold the position of France after the rebellion, when her expatria
