HISTORICAL FaCTS-DIVISI0N OF PAR
F-- TIES

In 1896, at the Presidential election be-
tween the Democracy, who supported Thomas
Jefferson, and John Adams, and the Federal
lists, who voted for John Adams, the latter got
every electoral vote of New Eng land. Again,
in 1S00 at the Presidential electon-the same
candidates in the feld-the Federalist Adams
received the unanimous electoral vote of New
England. The whole North voted for Adams
on both occasions, save parts OF Pennsylvania
and n. Y. The South was nearly or quite
unanimously for Jefferson.
In 1903 and 1872, when JAS Madison was
running for President on the Democratic tick
ct, every New England State voted against
him, save Vermont. All the Southern States
voted for him, save Delaware.
In 1928 all N. England went for John @.
Adams, except one electoral vote in Maine
Gen. Andrew Jackson was beaten in every
Eastern State. The South went almost unani-
mously for jackson.
The New England States are now where they
were in the days of Jefferson and Jackson
opposed to the Democratic party. After all
the mutations of politics and of time, the di. l.
sions of parties are, geographically, abent as
they were in 1896 and 1900.
We take the above from the Sidney (O.) Jour
nal Republican PAPER, 1t is the first open
confession of federalism we have seen in long
while come from a Republican editor. The
editor proves conciusively that the Republicans
of the eastern States stand in the same position
that the old federal party did-that they are
the literal descendants of old Hartford Conven-
ton federalism, and ara but following in the
of their illustrious predecessors

prominent citizens of that vicinity who have

the recent decision of the Supreme Court OF
this State that black is white, and that mulat-
toes are to vote side by side with the white
man in Ohio, they declare they have voted
their last Republican ticket Those men, as
well as hundreds Of others in Ohio who have
heretofore opposed the Democracy, begin to

SOCIAL LIFE IN oBERL1N, OHIO.

We shave good anecdote of Colonel PEPPER
of Rising sun, Ind, which well illustrates the
negro equality doctrines of that eminently Re-
publican stronghold, Oberlin, in Lorain Co.,
Ohio. The Colonel was passing through the
place and stopped to take supper while ne wes
waiting for the cars to arrive. The landlady
of the inn informed him that supper was ready,
and the Colonel proceeded to partake of it
AS he arrived at the door the landlord tap ed
him OIL the shoulders and asked him if he had
prejudices against setting down at the table
with several colored gentleman who were
boarders there. Upoa the Colonel informing
him that he had slight objection to such a
procedure, the landlord suggested that he
had better, perhaps, wait for the second table
and eat after the negroes was done! The Col
onel took his carpet sack and left about that
time but he was followed by the landlord, who
stated that the prejudices of the place were
such that he could make no distinction in col
or at his house. The Colonel recognized the
force of this, but concluded he would take sup

THE CHARLESTON coHvEHr1oHs

A Southern correspondent of the New York
Journal Of Commerce writes as follows with
reference to the arrangements for the ConyenI
| ton, the accommodations, and the public
| sentiment at the South in reference to its ae<-
sion: s,A
"The visiter at Charleston regards With no
little interest the Hall of the South Carolina
Institute, in which the Democratic National
Convention Is to be held on the 23d of April
next. The audience room is spacious, admir-.
| ably lighted by long windows on three sides.
and is capable of seating $500 persons. A
stage occupies the end, and there are galleries
upon three sides. There ere also convenient
private rooms ON both floors, and easy access
is had to all the different apartments. The
ceiling is beautifully painted in fresco by mo-
less an artist than the brother of Garibaldii
the hero of Italy. The entire hall has been
recently fitted up with special reference to the
meeting of the Convention.
The proceedings of that BODY will have ne
small influence in shaping the future destiny
of the States. All look with anxiety to the
result of its declaration, and not few haze
predicted that the Convention will he broken
up, or, at least, that its harmony will bo i'm
pared, by the action of the delegations of Ger.
tain States. That there will be exciting times
none can doubt; but is the opinion Of wise
men here that the South will be unit in sup
port OF the action OF the Convention, and that;
though impulsive men may talk, it will neither
bolt the platform the nomination.
'The.s settlement, both here and at the North,
[ am convinced is gradually subsiding, and the
efforts of calm, good men of both sections to
conciliate the present feelings of sectional
bitterness, to correct erroneous Impressions,
and to adjust existing difficulties, are meeting
with gratifying success. Where the multi
tudes who will be present at the coming Com
vention, will be lodged and fed, is a question
Of considerable interest. The greater part Of
the available space of the principal hotels and
and boarding houses has already been engaged,
and those who apply late will fare badly. Never
theless, extensive preparations have been made
Tor the accommodation of yisiters, and all that
can be done for their comfort, will be-
