In the above twenty six counties 1t will be seen
that the Democratic candidate for Governor one
year since had q majority Of 1851, and that the
vote for Congress in the same counties on Tuesday
last shows a clear Democratic loss of S,ll6. As
there are eighty. five counties in the State, the
twenty six contained in the above table comprise
not quite one. third, that the same ratio Of gain
in the balance Of the State will show Wing gain
on the Congressional ticket of 24,34S; which. put
against the Democratic majority for Governor last
year of 26,OsO, will leave the Wings of Ohio but
1874 to overcome, with General Scott as their
standard. bearer, on the I'd day of November.
Those who calculate on the vote cast for Hale
reducing the Wing vote at the Presidential con-
test must bear in mind that there was Freesoii, or
rather Free Democracy and Abolition candidates
run in every district for Congress on Tuesday last
and that tho same the case on the State ticket
sutliff being the Free Democracy candidate for
Judge of the Supreme Court, and Ellis the Free
Democracy candidate for Commissioner of Public
Works Hale will certainly receive the vote cast
for these candidates, and If he should receive any
others it will doubtless be in larger proportion
from the Democratic than the Wing ranks.
The dispatches being sent out from Columbus
by Sam. Medary, claiming twenty thousand ma
iority in Ohio, are merely concocted for effect in
distant parts, and to furnish boasting material for
Democratic orators to humbug the people with.
These dispatches show most clearly that the great
thunderer of the Ohio Democracy has had a "big
scare" and foreseeing that the electoral vote of
Ohio is lost to General Pierce, is endeavoring to
arouse an enthusiasm in other States to make up
for the inevitable destiny that stares him in the
face.

Georgia Democracy.

Mr. FoRsYrH, one Of the political "creators''
Of General PIERCE, is exceedingly incensed at
the refusal Of the Union Democrats of Georgia
faction In his journal-the Columbus ga }
Ifmes-of the 18th instant he speaks of the
Union movement as "without ray of princi-
pie to guide it, an honest motive to impel it, or
a sensible and practicable object to attain"
In his view, the only regularly appointed
Democratic ticket" is that constructed by men
of the extreme Southern Rights school, and
in which they alone figure as the opponents of
the PIERCE party. Union men, therefore, who
do not choose to pay tribute to Disunionists, are
to be read out of the party forthwith, as none
of the kith or kin Of the Democracy.
TO Southern Rights malcontents Mr.. For
sYrH addresses himself in totally different
strain. His aim in this instance is not to
bully, but to coax them into fellowship with
the bulk of their own wing; and this he en-
deavors to accomplish by reference to the
course contemplated by Governor TRoUP, the
chief of the separate Secessionist ticket AL
luding to Governor TRoUp's letter in response
to the nomination of the late Alabama Con
vention our Secessonst contemporary remarks:
"We gather from it that the venerable statesman
will himself vote for General Pierce for President
he certainly pays him most exalted compliment;
and if the great exemplar of State Rights afford
to pass such a, eulogium the State Rights cha :
racter Of General Pierce, We should think that no
Southern Rights man ought to feel any ithculty
in voting for him."
The appeal cuts two ways. 1t may stlmu-
late Secessonsts to more active efforts in Cen
eral PIERcE's behalf, but it Is assuredly enough
to dampen the energies Of those who have been
disposed to regard him as a conservative, re-
liable friend of the Union. If, as Mr.. For
syTH declares, ''no Southern Rights man ought
to feel Iany difficulty in voting for" General
PIERCE because of his State Rights char
acter," what should be, what must be, the feel
ngs of every consistent Union Democrat when
asked to render him support2 Between the
two sections there can be no honorable or con
sistent compromise; and the candidate who
is entitled to "most exalted compliments" at
the hands of one may reasonably expect to
be repudated by the other. The present indi-
cations are that in Georgia., as in Mississippi,
General PIERcE's chances of support rest upon
the strength of his pretensons as the Southern
Rights candidate.

In another column we publish extracts from
letters received IN this city, showing that the
Wings Of Ohio and Pennsylvania are still ac-
tive and full Il hope. 1t was never expected

a different contest. The official returns from

reelected by perhaps 10000 majority; but even
If we say $1,000, it requires no very extensive
arithmetical attainments to say how many con
tests like the last would be required to ennih-
late it entirely.
The Wings of Ohio have done well, even
when fighting without a leader. And when
November comes, and Scorr himself leads the
column, we may confidently look for victory
worthy of being chroncled with Chippewa,
Churubusco, and Chapultepec.

To the Editor of the Republic:

10 me EdttO o. Me hepu0tsc:
STA: As the Democratic papers, both in this and
other States, are laboring to convince the people
that the electoral vote of Massachusetts is doubtful
and in consequence OF the Webster movement is
likely to be given to Pierce as to Scott, deem
it important that the Wings Of other States should
be made acquainted with the true state of the CASE
and not longer left in doubt in consequence Of the
pretensions aet up by our opponents. based upon
the fact that we have Democratic Governor of the
State. In 1885, when Democratic Governor was
first elected by Coalition Legislature, the Wings
had plurality of 0,S75 votes. In 1851, when the
same Democratic Governor was reelected by the
same coalition machinery, the Wings had plu.
raty of &c, 5s6 votes. The electors are chosen by
a plurality, and the election will be conducted in
the same manner was the Gubernatorial election
of those two years-each of the three parties
ming q separate electoral ticket; and, if there
no division in the Wing party, there is no doubt
the Wings would make an increase upon their vote
of those two years. 1t remains, them for us to de-
termine what effect the Webster movement will
have upon the Wing vote, and how much it will
be likely to reduce the Wing plurality in the State.
The Webster movement is confined exclusively to
Boston and few adjacent towns, finding little or
no favor beyond five or ak miles from the city, and
from the most reliable sources of information there
l. no possibility of their casting over five thousand,
and probably not over three thousand votes ::
and we feel confident that shall nearly, il not
quite, make up for this loss in other parts of the
State. am we'll aware that they claim they shall
cast from 20 900 to 10000 votes but they have no
such expectation; and it is already rendered GER
tain that in moro than three fourths Of the towns
such votes will be cast; and in large portion of
the remainder only from one to five. The Wings
of other States may rest assured that in no event
will Scott's plurality be less than fifteen thousand;
and that there is every probability that it will
twenty thousand votes.
