THE POPULAR HEART.

THE POPULAR HEART.
We showed in our ast--not by estimates, or
Quesses, or calculations, but by the actual re-
turns from every State from which returns
have been received-that between three and
four Republican voters to one Democrat have
volunteered to fight for the Union. OF course,
the proportion in the Missouri, West Virginia
and Delaware regiments would be much greater
than this; but we are content with the vote OF
the Free Statcs-part of it taken under purely
Democratic auspices, but showing a remarkable
uniformity in the proportion of Republican to
Democratic votes from each State.
The vote of the Iowa Volunteers reprinted
in our last, is full. official, and was recently
taken. 1t shows political division just about
parallel with that in all the Free States from
which we have returns-less than four but
more than three Republican voters to each
Democrat. There is no reason for believing
that the proportion in other Free States differs
essentially from that exhibited by the States
whose soldiers were allowed to vote.
-" But do you maintain that no Republic
cars have fallen away from the support of the
War;"
o no, Some have hid under the bed from
fear Of DRAFT; some have fallen away because
they discover that war costs money, and IN
wolves the payment Of taxes; some from dislike
Of shinplasters, aud 50 on. But the places of
such have in good part been supplied by patri-
otto War Democrats of the school Of Daniel
;. Dickinson aud Lyman Tremain; OF Edwin
NJ. Stanton, Joseph Holt, Robert Dale Owen,
and David Tod; so that, we're the Volunteers
at home to vote, the Union War tickets would
sweep the country.
If the Republicans had neither gained nor
lost strength relatively since 1860, volunteer
ing alone would have lad the following effect
upon parties at home as tested By the Iowa
soldiers vote:
