voted for the Opposition ticket, electing s. s.
Cox in o district which, if the Volunteers had
been at home, would have given at least Two
Thousand Republican majority, and carrying
six or eight other Republican Districts in ike
manner.
in Pennsylyanin, the Union State ticket was
This year composed of one Republican and one
Democrat; yet wo doubt that it received Eve
huGdred Democratic votes in tie whole State.
The very county Q4uzerne) whereirom the
Democratic candidate on that ticket was se-
lected hes Just given larger Democratic vote
and Democratic majority than ever beforci
and our State ticket is defeated, when, if the
Volunteers were at home, it would have been
elected by at least Twenty Thousand majority
In Iudaua, We are beaten in The same way.
From Mr.. Colfax's District, over Eleven
Thousand Volunteers by actual count have
gone to the War, whereof over Six Thousand
are known TO have been Republican and not
quite Two Thousand Democratic voters. III
consequence, Mr. COlfa1's majority is cut down
from Thirty -four Hundred in 1860 to Two
hundred now, though his Democratic com
petitor in go now stamped tho District in
support of his reelection.
In Iowa alone, we triumpled at the October
Election, carrying the State by at least Ten
Thousand Majority, With all six Members OF
Congress; but the J'Oiuhteers from ioica arc
aRomsd TO rofe ia her elections. Had that been
the case here, We should have elected Gen.
Wadsworth and at least twenty Congressman
by not less than Thirty thousand Majority
We are beaten simply because our soldiers
could not at the same time confront JEFF.
Da7s's armies in Virginia and his sympathizcrs
here at home.
In our rural township of Newcastle, West
chester County, the Republican ticket usually
has Gity to one hundred majority; now Wads-
worth has but sixteen. We were informed at
the polls by Justice Weeks, who keeps the
official roll OF her Volunteers, that that town
ship has sent eghty.seyen Volunteers TO the
! War, Of whom barely four voted against Lin
coin Supposing that twenty were not voters
OF all, tho falling oil in the Republican majority
is accounted for. 1t surely was not owing TO
want Of earnestness nor OF effort on the part
of Gen. Wadsworths friends. And, on the
other hand, We believe no anti-Republcan lives
in that District who did not vote for Seymour.
/ In Illinois, at the recent Election, our State
ticket was headed by Edward c. Iugersoll n
War Democrat, as candidate for Congress from
| the State at large; yet he and We are defeated.
So in New-Jersey, where the taint Of "Radi-
casm" has been studiously avoided by our
friends, yet they are badly beaten-worse than
ever before In Massachusetts, and Michigan,
on the other hand, whore our tickets were
intensely Radical, being beaded by Governors
Andrew aud Blair and known to favor the re-
election of Senators Sumner and Chandler, we
are successful. Of course. We understand that
this is because Massachusetts aud Michigan are
strongly Republican States, while Illinois and
P. New jersey are not; but it still remains true
that /" Radcalism does not preclude success.
Now let us confront the imputation OF
/ TLs Journal that our nominations should have
been " lees distinctly PARTISAN" We deny the
justice Of the implication. Lyman Tremain,
our candidate for Lieut.. Governor was never
a Republican and never till last year aught
but q Democrat. For Congress, we heartily
supported Messrs. Walbridge, Daily, Mcleod
Murphy, Uaight and Mnpin-al Democrats
