Conservatism is to be fought in the border
States of the Union. Tho elections in Maine
and Vermont have settled the question of Lincoln's

whilst tho demonstrations in the great West
have been equally encouraging to the Republican
party. Tho result -of tho battle in the

York Herald, tbo element* of Opposition
strength in those States, is largely in tho ascanJeney,Sand
by proper concentration could
easily elect a fusion ticket. In the Presidential
contest of 1850, the Opposition numbered
three fifths of the popular voto, and in New
York alone, its majority was 45,000 over the
Republican voto. The recent elections in the
extreme Northern and Western States, where
Republicanism is most iu tho ascendant, show
that it ha? gained nothing there upon tho voto
of 185(5, and thero is reason to believe that
tho relative strength of parties has not been
materially changed in llie border States, since
1856. Tlio 'iB8ue"-*of the presidential contest
depends then upon a Bell, Douglas and Breckinridge
union electoral ticket being run to secure

THE STEAMBOAT DISASTER.
^Ttie Jury impanneled at Chicago^to inqftire
the causa of the4 recent terrible disaster
on Lake Michigan, commenced their labors on
Wedpesday. Several persons who were on
board the ill-fated steamer were examined, aud
their tfttimony tends to thro# the blame for
the occurrence, if any, upon the Bchooner Augusta,
and the testimony of t(ie two mates of
the schooner leads to the same conclusion. The
steamer's lights, it seems, were discovered at
least ten miuutea before the collision took place
which was certainly time sufficient to hav?
enabled those on board thb Aiigutta to take
every -pre?al>tion against accident. Forty
bodies had been recovered up to Wednesday
morning, most of them from Milwaukee.
