Tho llepublicans nf New York bost they will enrry this Stale by a majori ty from 25,000 to :i(),000. A very inrg majority of the Germans nud Fenians will vote thu Republican ticket, and tho Irish vote, generally, will bo nearly equally divided between Grant nud Seymour; but the old Scotch nud En glish Democrats will nil voto the Dem ocratic ticket.
