(The three omitted districts each gave
Sey mour mi ajority.)
Twelve Seymour districts are required to
worth districts, polling nearly double the
numb of votes.
The Second District, Brooklyn, and the
six districts in New York City, the Fourth
to the Ninth, polling 92,8s3 votes, being
only about one sixth of the whole number,
are required to furnish 28. .920 couscripts,
being about two ifths of the whole number.
That is, seven districts are to furnish two
fifths of the conscripts, and twenty-one dis
tricts three 6fths.
In further proof Of the fact that the city of
New York has furnished more thau its quota
of volunteers, it may be noted that, in the
six districts of that city, the average falling
off of the total vote in 1862 from the total
vote of 1860, was 1922, while in the other
twenty-five districts in the State the average
falling off was only 2, 196, nearly 600 less.
The whole truth is even stronger than this,
| for never of late years has an election in the
city been so generally attended as was the
one in 1862. The city contains nearly 25O
election districts, and in each of these per
sons came up to register th themselves who had
not voted in many years. In some cases
there were fifty such persons in district,
and some Of them had not voted in twenty
years.
/ have purposely made the above state
ments by political classifcations. NJ any
persons express a great dislike OF political
divisions at the present time. The Presi-
dent, especially, in letter to the officers of
an Albany Democratic m Getting, deplored
the facts that it was a N Getting of Democrats.
Facts, however, can not be destroyed by
concealment The enrolment is partisan
enrolment, and it is better to show that it
is so, while its POLITICAL Determinations can
be corrected. 1 have confidence IN the
President that be will be so true to the SEN
timent which excepted Democratic meet
ing, as to compel the abandonment OF an
attempt to use the Conscription Act as an
engine of wrong and oppression to the Dem
ocratic pnrty.
In some districts there are omissions.
more or less numerous, from the enroll
ment. The political preferences of the per-
sons omitted need not be stated, nor need
those who do not approve of the policy of
the Administration even express regret.
| Col. Fry says in his letter that in such ca
ses 1.-The General Government is alone the
loser" This is not strictly correct. The
omissions are most numerous In districts
LARGELY in favor of the policy of the Ad-
ministratiop, and by the under-eDrollment
the people of those districts are deprived OF
an opportunity to do their equal share OF
fighting in the field to sustain the policy
they indorse by large majorities at the bal
lot box.
In respect to the Democratic districts,
and especially of the city of New York. the
case is different There has been mani
fest design to take out of that city, by con-
, scription, the greater part of its large Dem
ocratic n pajority. This is evident not only
from the character of the enrolment, but
also that, as far as the draft proceeded, the
names drawn were mainly those of Demo-
Gratis. This is an uDgenerous course toward
q city which has contributed 30 literally il
: every respect to the support of the Federal
Government. Those who originated failed
to perceive. or else they did not care, tha
if twenty-five thousand able mel
could be forced out of the city of New York
s it would interfere with the business opera
tions of the metropolis to an extent tina
