Blount, DeKalb, Jackson, Lauderdale, Madison.

was ever polled in this State was given to Polk
and Dallas. We find the aggregate Of tie entire
Democratic vote Of the above counties in that
election TO have been 1865; and the entire
Democratic vote Of the State to have been 81,
7i0. So that by giving him the entire Demo
