DENocRATIc VIcToRY.-To show that
there has been a democratic victory-at
the recent election. it is only necessary u
contrast the vote of 1852, with the vote of
November, 1851. Gov. Foote received
800 votes. Col. Davis 355 votes. being a
majority Of 10 for Foote. la that election
723 votes were polled, in this, 636. Scott
now gets 271 votes and Pierce 365-beIng
a majority Tor Pierce OF 81 votes-snd
showing a gain CT ten votes for Pierce over
the Davis vote. Some estimate that them
were l20 votes not cast in this election
but this cannot be true. as the vote of 1852
is only 81 short OF the vote of 1851. The
vote Uf 81 being sn average vote of the
county. or the 81, who did not vote, we
have the names of 26 democrats who were
absent, or uid not vote in the county. That
there were 43 democrats absent, we do not
doubt--so that the 81 absent votes were
about equally divided. Some few wings
voted for Pierce, but a great majority OF
those who did not vote for Scott. voted
blank tickets.
