Mark the parallel! The opposition to Mr.. Van
Buren, in the next Legislature, from these coun'
ties will be, as above stated, 2S to Tor four to
one. In 1928, Gen. Jackson's vote in the same
counties, was as 1858 to 2,6S9, or more than
three to one and in 1882, (but two years agoD as
5,794 to 1,07S, or more that four to one. SO
great is the change, that although in 1924, Gen.
Jackson or the Peoples Ticket triumphed over
MI Crawford by about 5000 votes, had these
counties vottd then, as they will vote at the
next election, MIR. Crawford would have receiv-
ed the vote of the State by decided majority
Will it be attempted to weaker the force OF this
