About our Figures.

somo Of the Abolition editors are very mucn
exercised about our election figures. This IL
esuecislly true of the little whipper snapper
who does chores and dirty work around the
State House for Abolition officers, and teie'
e,aDas Columbus "puffs" and "apeciAls" to the
Abolition dailies in Cincinnati The complaint
IA. that we donl lie to our readers by figuring
the Democratic Congressional majority IN tne
s.s,e down to less than two thousand, ss they
40. They seek to create the impression thai
the Democratic msjorlty on Congressman 10 tai
below the average majority for the Democratic
State ,icke:, ,ohen the truth is just the Teusr'e
Nearly all the Democratic candidates for Con
aress ran az high as Judge RANNEY, who re-
csiyed the highest vote Of any candidate on the
State ticket. Some oi them ran even MEbes
than the Judge,
The Abolition fgureTs claim ell toe votes
cas-. for Mr.. WAITE in the l0sh District, which
everybody Of sense knoWs don't belong to them
lie received a large proportion of mis- votes from
Democrats. and q still larger proportion from
conservative Republicans who will never AGAIN
vote en- Abolition ticket. Ii Is, therefore,
absurd for the radicals to claim WNrE's vote.
TIE srArEaMls's figures are correct. They
shoS the true result
The Abolition effort TO extract comfort and
consolation out of the vote on Congressmen
strikes us as being supremelT ridiculous, es
pesially, when We reflect that the Democracy
eleoted fourteen Of the nineteen members, In
Districts gerrymandered to give ne only two!

Forney Calls for EaTHest Party Prop
aFAttOn.

Since the beginning Of the war, the Aboi'
.onists have prOfessed that they desired no po-
lticsl contests, but we're for q union Of all par
ties until the rebellion should be put down.
All the while, however, they have been striving
to carry out their partisan dogmas, and put into
Office their own men. A union of parties with
them meant nothing more nor less than an or
gsnizltion to promote the cause Of Abolition
ism. Bot now, they are openly repudating the
no.psrty idea they themselves professed to
revere and sustain.
FoRNEY, the Judas Iscariot of American pol
i,ics, who Is now editing the Presidential organ
at Washington, is already calling upon the
GRKELrYs, the SuMEERs and the BEEcHERs, to be-
gin at once the political fght for the remaining
yssrs OF this ADMINISTRATION. After bitterly
uveighiug against the Democratic party, in q
manner both characteristic and satanic, he says:
"Not day must be lost by the friends OF
MIR. LIscoLN and the policy be has insugurated,
iu earnest preparation for the elections Of
Is63-'64"
If tue spirit that animstes the entire Democ
rsc7 of the loyal States may be regarded as
indicating future results, then the "earnes. prep
arstion" which FoRNEY calls for will be about
as effective 90 we're his efforts for Abolitionism
during the late campaign. The programme OF
the Radicals has been gradually unfolding it..
self, and toe thin dieguise with which their
leaders sought to cover their political naked
ness and deformity has been torn Of. They
now stand before the people in their true char
acter, and will never again be able to deceive
honest, unsuspecting people by their no-psrty
humbug and nonsense.
Let tho contest come that FoRNEr evokes.
The Democracy have already made "earness
preparation" for It, and will always hereafter
be able to defeat Abolitionism, as they did at
the recent elections

BRToRE the late elections, oil the Republican
organs proclaimed every day that the success
Of the Democratic or Conservative tickets
would be a declaration on the part of the people
that they are tired Of the war and are ready for
peace on the basis OF divided Union. But
those organs have changed their tore wonder
fully. They now announce, that the voice OF
the nation, as uttered in the elections, con-
demns the nef1ciency with which the war has
hitherto been carried oD, and demands that II
shall be prosecuted henceforth with the whole

speaks of the great Democratic gathering al

He was saluted with tempest of shouts and
hurrahs This was the first time bis constitu-
ents here had seen him aimee his great digging
out feat iu the New Seventh District, 10
which he made over 5000 Abolition majority
to cave right in. He is a perfect pet amoug
his constituents. Persons unacquainted with
him might we'll be surprised at the enthusiasm
which his public appearance excites in them
but the wonder soon ceases, upon knowing him
and hearing him talk. He has the most taking
way in the world. On this occasion he made a
regular Democratic glorifcation speech, which
he knows perfectly how to do, and he did 1t
admirably we'll, Notwithstanding his voice was
considerably affected by his almost constant
public speaking for about three months past

Change OF Opinion.

Eighteen months of Republican rule has sat-
isfied the people that the wsy to maintain the
Government is the return Of The Democratic
party to power.
The Democracy owe their great victories to
converts from Reprblicanism, to voters for Mr..
Lincoln in 1860, who bad utterly missppre-
hended the purposes Of the Republican party
and its capacity 10 govern the country. This
great revolution in public sentiment has but jast
commenced. IL is but the turning of the tide
