An important fact pregnant with future conse-

election last year, about 81 900 votes were cast
for Burrows the American candidate for Gov
ernor. This Fall, only about 5000 have been
given for the Utica American ticket. Here, then,
are about 5000 electors, who voted for. the
American ticket in 1853, who did not support the
Utica ticket this year. What did they do at the
recent election' Many Of them refused to vote
at all; a considerable body supported the
whole Democratic ticket; but, judging from
the large relative Republican increase over
