The Abolition organ endeavors to figure
up gains for its party iD this county. In our
table of week before last, we gave the official
vote, which,made the Democratic majority 78
more than II was, on an average, last fall

and give their own estimates. As an instance
of their incorrectness, they say that the Oppo-

township by + votes whilst the Official returns
show that the Democratic candidate was elec-

Democrats OF Old Napier and will but rnci,e
them to renewed energy during the coming
contest.
