New Jersey made an equally discouraging record by giving Mr.Seymour a majority of three thousand.

The Pacific coast, whose progress and prosperity depended so largely upon the maintenance of the Union, presented an astonishing result,--California giving General Grant a majority of only 514, while Oregon utterly repudiated the great leader and gave her electoral vote for Mr.Seymour.

Indiana, in the test vote of the October election for governor, was carried for the Republicans by only 961; Ohio gave a smaller majority in the hour of National victory than she had given during any year of the civil struggle, while Pennsylvania at the same election gave the party but ten thousand majority.

In the city and county of Philadelphia the Democrats actually had a majority of nearly two hundred votes.

The Republican majorities in these three States were considerably increased in the November election by the natural falling off of the Democratic vote, but the critical and decisive battle had been fought in each State in October.
