The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1856-09-03


Hale 5l6S2
353 42S
The increased vote of the State
since 1882 may be put down at
10 per cent 1882
Total vote Of Ohio this year 36S, 40
In using these figures for the tollowing caIcu-
lation, We omit the vote for Hale, because it is
conceded by all parties, that the Fillmore men
will pole a larger vote for him, than the Hale
vote, and these Fillmore voters are almost cx-
clusi,cly old line Wings who voted for Scott in
1852.
We give the following as an approximation
to the vote next November.
Scott's ote in 1852 was 152, ,526
Give the RlacI Republicans five
seventhS of the increased vote in
the State since 1852 say 25.0O0
Total vote for Fremont III, ,526
Percc's vote in 1852, was 169, 2Z0
Give the Democrats one-third of
the increased vote allowed The
Black Republicans 1888
Total vote for Buchanan l77,5 ,553
Give the Fillmore men TrimbIe's
vote last year 24,310
Residue of the voters 1881
Total for Fillmore 1851
Total vote of the State 388, 40
Now the objection we make to our own cs-
innate above, is, that it is too favorable to the
Black Republicans, and not liberal enough to
the Fillmore men or the Democrats, and we
give the following as the reasons for our belief
First, as to the Black Republicans. Tho vote
given to Hale in 1852, was 81 692,, and we OBJ
ject to adding this vote to the Scott vote, be-
cause the old-linc Wings, who now vote for Fill
more, then voted for Scott, and they exceed in
number the Hale vote by many thousands Ii
is we'll known to the leaders of the Fillmore
party that the lodges in this State south Of the
National Road, have ON their registers nearly
forty thousand members, and every day adds tc
the numbers of the party north and south o
the National Road. Every additional member
they get is am old-linc Whig, and as we have
transferred Scott's vote to Fremont, it is con.
slant dimnution from the votes for Fremont
they will have left their natk when the poll
close
Next,as 10 the Democrats 1t will be couce
dcd by every candid man, that Buchsnan is in
Gnitely more popular in this State with the mas
ses than Mr.. Pierce was at the time OF his nom
ination--there is no reason therefore to doub
that the transfer Of Pierce's vote to buchanan
may be safely relied on. We think we arc ex
cccdingly modest in claiming Tor our party onl,
one third Of the increased vote given to tht
Black Republicans. We believe it to bo lalgt
under estimate of the accession TO our strength
but placing the figures in the worst possible
light for our own party, we show tic with tht
Black Republicans.
Tie vote last year did not draw out the Dem
ocraiic party, but it did draw out our opponents
20 aras Black Republcanism is concerned
| This we will demonstrate by the following fig
ures: The vote for Scott in 1852 was 1872, 526
The vote for Chase last year was lag 641, show
ing that of the old Wing party of 1852, all bu
$685. voted for Chase. The last numbers were
absentccs from the polls and are the nucleus G
the present Fillmore party, and cannot be bro
back into the Black Republican ranks Tn,
vote for Pierce in 1852 was 1863, 22O, while thC
vote for Medil last year, was only 131 ,091
showing that So 129 of the Democrats Of 1876.
did not vote last year, but they will be found a
the polls this year, voting for their old and faith
full Democratic champion. 1.-THE vote of Chas,
had been largely increased over SCOTS vote, i
would have been fair inference that this def
cheney in the Democratic vote Of last year wa
transfer to the Black Republicans, but Chase,
deficiency in votes, contrasted with Scott's, nail
any such assertion as that to the counter Tht
logical inference therefore, is, that the Demo
adherence 10 the party Of The Nation, but from
local causes of various natures, were not at tht
polls at the last election. Be of good cheer
therefore, Democrats! the State goes for Blu.
chanan beyond reasonable shadow OF doubt
Ne have given you the worst phase that figures
can show before an election, and we tell yor
honestly and candidly, that if you will do youl
duty to the great Democratic party of the Ma
tion, Ohio viii wheel into the great national col
umnof the Union, with hcrbanncrs waving to the
breeze, whilst the black, mutilated flag of Re.
publicanism, is Frustrated in the dust with the
maledictions of all who love their country, with.
out reference to its geographical divisions.
