Kenosha tribune & telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1856-1859, 1856-10-23

AS will be seen by our news elsewhere the
vote of this State at the recent state election, is
against the Republic ans by small majority.
We should of course feel much better and more
confident of the final result if Pennsylvania had
gone for us, but we see no reason for despair,
nor indeed for Encouragement in the result as
it is. To show our readers how Pennsylva-
MIA not unfrequently acts we append the follow
ing table.
In 1886, the so-called Democratic party car
ried Pennsylvania at the October State Elec-
ton by large majority. In the Presidential
Election which followed, the Wings, with
scarcely hope Of success, reduced that MAORI
ty to very low figure, as follows:
Van Buren's majority 1864
In 1910, when the tide set so strongly in ia
vor of General Harrison, it was again carried
for what was called Democracy at the State
Election-the total vote for Congress standing.
Harrison 1875 902 Van Buren, 1870, 551
Van Burens majority 4649
And yet at the Presidential Election which
speedily followed, the State went for Gen. Har-
rison by the following vote:
Harrison l44,021 Van Buren, 1852
Harrison's majority 349.
In 1914, it was carried for Polk, Dallas and
the Tariff OF '42'' at both the State and Prssi-
Dental Election.
In 1914, at the State Election, it went as fol-
lows:
For Taylor: For Cass:
Gorsrnor-Johnsen 1861 23 Longstreth 166,22
Can -Middleswarth l64, 2s4 Gamble 163 $50
Johnson's maj. 302 Gamble maj, 2,636.
Yet at the Presidential Election, directly after
the vote stood:
Taylor 185,73O Cass 172,l96
Van Buren, lily
Gen, Taylor over Gen. Cass 13,544
In 1852 it went for Sham Democracy at both
Elections, though General Scott received more
votes in November than were cast for the Dem
oeratic State ticket in October
One thing will he noticed in this table and
that is the largely increased vote invariably in
the Presidential election over the State election
being on the occasions given above, not less
than 10000 Beyond question there will be
that increase at this time, and those who know
anything of the character of that class of voters
who never come out except on the, most impor-
tant occasions, understand very well that the
side of Freedom can reasonably and Justly sx-
pect much the larger proportion of that vote
Indeed it is said, that there is in Pennsylvania
a very large body of Quakers who never vote
except at Presidential elections, and who on
this occasion are sure for Fremont.
Had the vote of Pennsylvania been taken
within a month of the nominations there is no
question but Buchanan would have had a ma
jority OF $4,000 votes. This immense odds at
the start we have been obliged to overcome, and
have done it up to the limited majority which
appears. Three weeks from that time to the
final election remains, ard we only need to do
as well as we have been doing to carry the
State.
! We believe so far from this result discour-
aging our friends there or elsewhere it will in
/ fuse into them new determination and give
them a renewed Zeal and industry. They see
now what they have to do. They viii do it
The contcstis yet undecided. The victory vet
waits the vigorous hand. Bonaparte won the
battle of Waterloo two or three times during the
day, but Welingtons' final 'up guards and at
EN- wrested from him all previous chances and
made hm fugitive from the field. Pennsylva-
MIA will do her duty The work the friends
of Freedom have there on hand viii be done
Our work is here. Let voters here see to it that
in looking TO Pennsylvania they do not lose the
chances at home, but when Pennsylvania is re-
corded as she will be among the States in favor
# Freedom, Wisconsin will stand BY her side
