COMMUNICATED.

THE VOTE OF OUR ADOPTED CITIZENS.
A great deal has been said of late in regard to
the position occupied by the adopted citizens of the
South. The Republicans, and other opponents of
the Democratic party, have, in their stump speeches.
in their newspapers, and through other organs of
communication with the people, insisted upon the
declaration that the vote of the adopted citizens
would be given for Lincoln. But what has been
proven in our midst The adopted citizens, and
particularly the conservative, Union-loving and
patriotic Germans, have nearly to man, voted in
opposition to the fanatica doctrines deliberately
and temptingly set forth by Seward, Sumner, Will
son, Giddings, and their particular followers. Ac-
cording to a careful examination of the last city
vote, we are in the possession of the undeniable
fact that scarcely 800 Germans uoted for Lincoln
The I'd ward chiefly inhabited by Germans, has
given comparatively a smaller vote for the Repub
icans than any other ward of the city. Their lead
ing organ has untiringly advocated the interest of
the South against Northern dictation; their mer
chants, manufacturers, mechanics and laborers
have, ever since the beginning of the campaign,
rayed themselves in active support of conservatism
and entirely annihilated the violent efforts of the
so-caed German Radicals to concentrate the sup
port of the adopted citizens upon the nominees of
the Chicago Convention. The vote of the German
adopted citizens in our midst is calculated at about
7,000-6,000 of these voted for breckenridge, and
the rest scattered among the Union, Douglas
and Republican parties: This deserves notice, IN
yindication of the nulliied position of this class of
our citizens. If it had not been for the unfortu
nate split in the Democratic party, this same result
would have been brought about in all parts of the
Union 1t is only the small radical portion OF the
Germans who have supported Lincoln, and put for
the moral detection in the Democratic ranks, their
vote would have proven now, as In former days,
that our adopted citizens the staunch friends OF
conservative just and equal principles, all inslnu-
| atoms to the contrary notwithstanding. ..

Democratic MAJORITY.

Will any one say that such differences as these
are the natural results of any changes in public
sentiment here within twelve months? Nay, does
not every one know that the American organiza-
ton was infinitely weaker last year, when the old
line Wings had deserted it, than it was this week
when engaged in party contest in which
it was aided by leading Relormers? The facts
need ne further calculation. Will the champions
of the clubs still defend their work, and swear
that the election was fair one in November,

which appeared to paralyse all his faculties, and be

Immediately discovered every SYMPTOM of poison

what was formerly called death ring, in use In
Italy when acts Of poisoning were frequent ABOUT
the middle of the 18th century. Attached toit In
side were two claws of lion, made OF the sharpest
steel, and having cets in them filled with Tlru-
lent poison. In a crowded assembly, or In Dali,
the wearer of this fatal ring, wishing to exercise
revenge on any person, would take their hand, ana
when pressing it the sharp claw would be sure to
infict slight scratch on the skin. This was
enough, for on the following morning the victim
woud be sure to be found dead. Notwithstanding
the many years since which the poison this ring
had been placed there, it retained its strength suti-

There were Democrats in the land in those days,
despite all assertions to the contrary, and there
were few of the opponents of the American party
who were not anxious to cast their votes.
1t must be remembered, too, that the Reform party
had then received large accessions from the
ranks Of the Americans themselves. Con-
sentative men had become disguised with club
rule and frightened at the ascendancy 1t
had attained, and they desired to strike 1t
down. The candidates whom they were asked
to support were not the nominees of the Demo-
cratic party, and no one was disposed to oppose
them merely on account of old antipathies or pre-
judices Under such circumstances, therefore, 1t IS
impossible to doubt that an overwhelming major
ity stood ready to defeat the American party a
year ago. and that if reasonably fair election had
been held Wings, Democrats and Relormers would
have united and cast a vote which would have far
exceeded that lately given to Nr. Brown. Does
any one still believe that the American party could
obtain majority of 1857 votes in Baltimore
city twelve months ago, and over the Reformers
and Democrats combined, when it is now shown
that the Democratic party has majority here OF
nearly four thousand votes? Let any man look at
the vote of Tuesday and say if he can, that he be-
leves the election of November 1859 to have been
an honest one. The vote of the whole city the

VIRGINIA ELECTION Considerable doubt has ex-
listed as to the vote in this State, but careful sift
ing of the returns satisfies that Breckenridge ha
carried the State by to two thousand plurality
over Bell. We have added up the vote of CT coun-
ties, including the entire Tenth Legion and the
large Opposition strongholds, and the footing is
Breckenridge, IL ,483; Bell, 1887. Breckenridge
ahead OS6 Bell gains in these counties 429 over
Goggins vote, when Letcher (Dem.,) had 1858
majority. Bell has to gain 2,14O in the remaining
counties to carry the State, which he is not likely
to do as telegraphc reports from the distant coun
ties indicate large gains for Breckenridge.
THE STATE ELECTIoN.-Although this is the thlrc
day since the election, and Maryland by no means
a large State, we are still without returns from
several of the counties. On the Eastern Shore
Somerset and Worcester, the two lowest counties
have not been heard from at all, and Carroll, al
most at our doors, has as yet sent in no certain
report of the result within its limits. There can
however, be no reasonable doubt that MARYLAND
has gone for Breckenridge by majority in tn
neighborhood of five hundred votes.

In November, 1859, just twelve short months
ago, an election took place in Baltimore, which
we, in common with many thousand citizens, de-
nounced as one of the most fraudulent that was
ever held in any civilized community. We then
pronounced it to be a mockery and farce, ana
protested that its disgracefu results ought not 10
be received as indicating, in the remotest degree
the character of public opinion or the strength of
any political party in Baltimore. But, notwith-
standing the array of facts by which the Illegally
of that election was demonstrated, many men ven
tured to defend it. They insisted that the Ameri-
can party was immensely in the majority here
and that the Democrats were comparatively lew IN
numbers. They asserted that there was no foun-
dation for the statement that the fair expression OF
the popular will had been prevented by violence
and fraud, and when asked to account for the eX-
traordinary nature of the vote that was cast, they
had the assurance to reply, that though the Amer
leans were active and earnest in the support OF
their nominees, the Democrats did not even care
to go to the polls to deposit their ballots for their
own candidates No denial was too glaringly
false, and no excuse was too absurd OF
weak to be hazarded in defence Of the inquities
we refer to, even by persons who had been regard
ed in this community as honest and honorable
men. Bnt if the story of last years election was
a melancholy one to read at the time, it is douby
painful when studied by the light of the late event.
which have furnished us with fuller and more con
elusive evidence of its truth The vote of thl
city was then recorded thus:
