with the msguItude Of their victory a. shoNn
by the vote cast, and already in their confusion

t,v. even according TO their theory Of what 10
good.
Immediately on the heels Of the election, Mr..
y LINCOLN calls fer 3OO 600 volunteers to recruit
and augment The Union army; but hiS call is
mot heard, or II heard, is not Needed by the
Baouaa party of Ohio, that In profession are
3 IA, .tbe last dollar and the last man, to put
. sovn the 'sIayeholders' Rebellion" With
,uoh splendid victory o. they won over the
aRsbel sympathissrs," on the secood Tuesday
n October, It would only be reasonable to sup
noas that Mr.. LiNCoLr's call would have receiv-
a ! urompt response from them, and our q1ota
40 say. $4,000 men would before this tims
h.,s hsen tsndered to the President, and the

, that number be now In the camps drilling and
p preparing for the service. Instead Of thia
suect.cle, silence reigus supreme, and no voice

from among the myrlads of able-bodied "LOy'
al Lsagusrs'' 10 Ohio,
The election Is over, and they have main
tained their power, and will continue to possess
the enormous patronage Of the st'to for two
years more. which to them is very comforting
) and consoling; but the magnitude OF the VIC
tory has 30 confounded them 90 to mar and even
Z cut short their jubilations'
We have not the official figures, but presume
70 say shat the home vote oast In Ohio on the
1y 18Th Of October, 1863, amounts to about 49,
600 yotes., In the animated contest for Presl-
dent In 1860, the vote cast 10 Ohio was 44s 5OO'
The statement Of this fact alone 10 sufficient TO
! satisfy every unprejudiced man 10 and out OF
the State, that gross and wicked frauds we're
committed BY come party at our late election.
To olslm that We had 43s,000 legal voters at
home In Ohio, on the 18th Of October, 1863,
d would require an assurance chat few men
possess, aud no honest man of any party would
ltdare 10 do 10. ,,..
n That On immense fraudulent vote was casb,
no intelligent man can deny; and the question
nov is, By which party Was the great fraud
committed2 We assert without hesitation,
that the fraud was committed by the RRoUGH
party, and that the enormous fraudulent vote
pollsd Was cast by II. We do not say that no
illegal votes we're cast for the Democratic ticket.
Isolated cases Of this kind no doubt occurred.
Bus The organized and systematic fraudulent
voting Was done BY the BRouoH party, that,
whlls preparing the machinery for stupendOus
frauds before the election, charged that the
Democratic party WAS engaged In the unlawful
and criminal business, which at the very time
was the chief employment Of the Union
Lesgues." n, 20 ir-
n Assuming that the Democratic home vote on
the 18th Of October, is 10000, (Mr. vALLAs.
DIsHAM's vote is q few thousand short), and
We fall short of the vote for DOUGLAS and
BlEcKIHaiDGr, In 1860, some 10000 votes.
Assuming BRoUeH's home vote at 24SOOO, |
which we suppose it to be, and he leads the
vote Of LiNooLN, In 1860, nearly 10000. The
mere statement Of the case, when we consider
how many voters are absent from the State in
the army, is sufficient TO convince ell candid |

This fraud was committed by "pipe laying"

the fraud astounds and almost paralyzss the
party by which II was committed. and what
