Here We see that ~ POI white males gave only liz
'Gg votes: and what is worthy Of remark is the TACT
that the two counties OF Licking and Muskingunl, com
posing Gen Tayior's Congressional district, which
were rs rar7niy ceHteSted my, and the county Of
franklin, the head quarters of Federalism, show The
greatest disparity between The votes and whe male m
habants No one doubt hut that in these three
counties each party did every thing i'll lis power 10 ret
every voter the polls. Yet the deficit OF voters IS
from II 10 - per cent all which can be raiiona'y ac
counted Tor by making the usual allowance Tor The
white males who not naturalized, absentees slck
&c.
TRYING all the votes bv these counties thus: Ii 2n
the number Of white males, gives II 800 votes, the
whole Of pol 900 should give 25G O00 The az
grpgac vote If the State, which is all that the State
of OHIO can give, aud more, as believe, than was
honestly cast by six thousand. Coshoctnn, Butler,
and Fairfield fall below their population less than Ten per
cent We have included them, however, for the pur-
poses Of this estimate, as fair test although nppr'sed
that forts made to defeat Mr. Weller for Congress-
and three boatoads of layers said TO have voted
in Coshocton, well as many i'll Fairfield. View the
thing in any way, and II is impossible for candid mind
10 pronounce the election n fair one-mposslbc 10
believe that the vote received by Gov. Shannon was
greater than half the number OF all the legal votes
Of Ohio.
Is there nothing startling in these facts We will
not initiate BrRFowrs and RIrSER by connselng our
friends the election though it had not been
held. for there is peaceful remedy To come-a day
for correcting the wrong at the bailoi-box. In the
