From the foregoing tabular statement the read
er will perceive how utterly false and absurd the
assertion made by the Abolitionists that Colfax's
meager majority was caused by eleven thousand
persons from that district having gone into the
army The reader will see that the whole vote
in le62 was 80 ,405 and in 1862 it is 90 ,26O only
l45 less than it was two years ago. lt will fur
Their be seen that the Democrats gain 923 votes
in two years and the Republican loss ,06S in the
same time.
The Republicans assert that III 900 persons
have gone into the armv from that district; that
5000 of them were voters, and 1000 of them
Republicans. Now, for the sake of argu-
ment, suppose it TO be true, let us see what the
result would be- liz would make Colfax vote in
1862 to be 81 100. and the Democratic vote
l6, 800 and the whole vote Sc ,260-that is to say
,s55 votes more than it two years ago with
out making any allowance for the increase of
population, which is doubtless very large.
From the foregoing statement taken in connec-
ton with the fact that reference to the vote in
different counties, after making fair allowance
for an increase of population. il is proven that
the general result remains wholly unaffected by
the voters absent in the army The very small
FILLING off from the vote of le60-only ,l23-
proves the result in 1862 to have been caused by
a revolution in the political sentiments of the
people. and that if it continues at the same rate
for two years to come it will leave Mr. Coliax in
a minority of over 2 600 votes.
Ii the Republican assertion were true, the
whole vote of the State would be 446, 347, in
stead of 297 ,392.-Ft Wayne Times, (Opp.)

Truthful Sentiment Beautifully
Expressed.

Hon. HoRArIo SEYMOUR, the Democratic
didate for Governor of New York, in late speech
at Brooklyn, thus truthfully alluded to one of
the great causes of our present trouble He
said:
How happened it in this great metropolis-here
in this great city of Brooklyn, where you saw
every day when you looked over yonder beautiful
bay your vessels deeply freighted with the rich
products OF the South-when you daily evi-
dence of their wealth and of their ability TO buy
produce-how was il then you were made to be-
lieve that they were a helpless, dependent power
ty stricken peopeg How came il that against
your early teachings, your reading in history
against the very observations of early life, you
entertained and cherished this monstrous mistake
that is being bottsd out by the red blood from
the veins of your brothers, Do YOU not
know Do you not remember Go back to
your press-go back To your rostrum-and alas
sometimes 20 back to the sacred house of God
and see II YOU not taught those express fal
laces Ii accident | tell you this fatal
ignorance the result of long years of system
attic teaching that has brought upon this land the
terrible calsmties which now affect it. Say what
YOU please. and think what you please as to the
cause OF this war-say il is slavery-say il is alb
olitionism-say il is ambtion-say il is thirst for
wealth-but every man knows if the people of
this country, North and South, had been well
informed with regard TO each other, this
would never have been. assert here that with
out that great underlying cause-that ignorance
those misrepresentation, those mistakes, that
were so IndustriOusly inculcated in your minds
our country TO day would not be filled with blood
shed BY brothers in unnatural strife.

BURNING TOWNS.

We copy with pleasure the following from the VIII
mng,on Journal because ii clearly expresses our own
views upon the subject.
The question Of setting FIRE to towns on
the approach Of the enemy and the certainty
Of his being able TO capture them, has been
much discussed. and, no doubt, has been the
occasion of much thought that has never
found expression.
The history of the world affords but few
examples Of such sacrifice, so few that the
conhagration Of Moscow. If indeed the wOrk
of Rosiopehin, and not of accident, stands
alone il is magnitude and in its consequen-
ces. The wars of the French Revolution
and Empire, in the course of which nearly
every capital city Of continental Europe
was occupied, afford but the one example.
and that doubtful one, since the governor
by whom it was said TO have been done, DIS
avowed il most solemnly. Ii may have been
the work Of the Russian authorities, out
that can never be established. Bui leaving
that point open, il evidently stands alone,
and owed all its importance to the Latitude
and the remote and inland position o. Mos
COW. If, instead Of being located IN iati-
tude fifty-fve degrees forty-bye minutes
North. and in the remote interior OF SENT
barbarous Russia, far from any base line
Of operations, or from any supplies by
water. Moscow had stood on the seaboard,
or ' on a nsyisabe river, in latitude Of thir-
ty.four degrees. lis sacrifice would have
bssn hut : vanton waste. and could have ef-
feeted no military object. Nay, bad such
even in the latitude Of Moscow, Napoleon
could we'll have afforded TO despise il as an
effort Of impotent rage. and made il per-
hsps the text for vehement denunciation
Of Russian barbarity. Subsequently the al
lies occupied Paris, and yet the French.
chaing with the rage Of proud people. hu-
inflated by those upon whom they had tram
pled, never once thought of offering up their
proud city sacrifice TO the flames; and
time that at last brings all things even. has

BURNING OUR TOWNS.

A correspondent at Hillsborough sends US
the two following notes for publication, up
On a subject Of no small importance. We
do not undertake to say what our people
should do in all cases, but there j. much
force IN the views Of our correspondent, and
we incline TO the opinion that the desruc-
ton Of Southern property by ourselves
ought TO be confined 10 that species alone
which the enemy might use or remove 10 his
advantage. War justifes resort to any
and TO all measures usual, resorted TO by
civilized nations 10 possess or distress the
enemy, but the burning Of our towns which
he cannot or will not make permanent resi-
dence Of, really distresses and Injuries our
selves more than il ever can our enemy.
Our correspondent SAYS:
1.-The inhabitants Of Elizabeth City put
ting the torch to their dwellings meets with
SO general appreciation. that il seems likely
il NAV be adopted as principle Of action
required by patriotism in all similar emer-
gencies. The policy and prcpriety OF the
act are questionable. There may be excep-
tional cases. War itself is an act OF yio-
lence-an appeal from law to force. Oh
course It's laws HVt NtiJ Wth ottttee'
With a view, therefore, Of eliciting light
and determining what is bestto be done with
our cities, when circumstanced as Elizabeth
CITY, raises the following difficulties:
1. Does not the burning Of their homes,
under the circumstances mentioned above,
do their owners more harm than TO the enc.
my ! Since enough houses almost always
escape to afford the latter comfortable quar-
tiers, certainly they are sufficient. if they
are eked out by the tents and huts which
they can easily erect. Again, as we do not
anticipate that the enemy will remain long
in any Of our towns which they may take
their houses will be needed By the returning
fugitives, and if they have previously t.
their flight fred them. they will be prevent
ed from returning. ut least until their town
il rebuilt. What ihenf They must be Ia
ken care Of, that is, be burden TO their
friends. Thus il seems to burn ourselves
