eruer the democrats poIled 76,073: the on
position candidate 8,042. This gives ma
Jof1ty OF over {, 900, which would vanish into
THIN ar when two democratic candidates
come into the arena.
At the last election in Delaware the num-
bers stood 1868 against 7,I52.s Who does
not see that, with two democratic candi-
dates In the field, the opposition ticket must
be elected by large plurality?
La Maryland the opposition had majority
at the last election. and the votes counted as
foiiows:-Opposition 47,15I; democratic,
3o,6o2, is the majority against the democra,
cy here likely to be reduced when Breckin.
ridge and Douglas divide the democratic
forces between them2
In Texas. too, the opposition defeated the
democracy at the last election, Sam Hous-
IS there now OF electing q democrat in that
State?
In Georgia The vote for The democratic
Governor was g., 806; for the opposition.
AZ. 1875. But divide $1,000 into nearly equal
parts. and each will fall far short of AZ 900.
IL Louisiana the vote was 24,434 for the
democrats, and 1851 for the opposition.
But the half of $4,000 is less than Is 900;
and, taking into consideration the vigor with
which Soule and his friends will prosecute
the campaign. it is more than probable
Douglas will get from ten to twelve thousand
votes. f,s
In Alabama there was no opposition, pro-
perry SO called; but the regular democrat
was elected by 10000 majority over the FIRE
eater. Let three candidates appear in the
field, and VINO can name the winning man?
Ia Florida the numbers stood at the last
election for Governor, democrat 5,019, oppo-
sition 1925. Divide the democratic strength
In nearly equal portions and the opposition
obtains the plurality.
At the last election for Governor in Mis-
souri,. the democratic candidate polled
1895. the opposition Al ,64l-d democratic
majority only 344. Let the democracy be
divided between two tickets in this State,
and the electoral ticket of Bell is sure to
triumph. 1t is true the opposition consists
partly OF republicans but out of St. Louis
they have no strength, and the great body OF
the opposition will certainly go for the Union
ticket.
Thus it is hard to say in which of these
Twelve States the democracy can be success
ful ; and, what is the most disheartening
feature in the dark prospect is. that the
democratic candidate who is likely to poll
most votes at the North will poll least at the
South In fact, will not carry one electoral
vote beyond Mason and Dixon's line. There
is. therefore. q political revolution at hand
which will scatter the democracy like chat
neIore the wind. Had there been two demo
cratic candidates in the field in the Presiden-
tial struggle of 1856, a similar result would
have happened. Thanks to the Albany Re
gency and their reiainers, the same men who
defeated the democracy in l84s, by running
a second democracy ticket, the democratic
party has been precipitated to its doom, and
the opposition party of the South will take
its place, on the 4th of March next, either al
the White House, or as the opposition te
triumphant black republicanism, which, i
Lincolnis elected, will be duly installed a
the Capitol of Washington, without q finger
being raised against it, whatever the fire
eaters may now say to the contrary.-M 7
