Number Of Voters In Ohio and
PenasyIvanta.

How many voters are there in Ohio and
Pennsylvania We think that is point M
portant TO be ascertained BY the census Of
1860, there were in Ohio III ,2T2 white
males. About two-hfths OF these are over
twenty-one, which gives 46s, $50. IL Penn
sylvania there we're, in 1860, 1879 white
males This would give 57l l76 over twenty
one years OF age, la this State there were
47d,2ll white males in 1860 over twenty one
lSS,6s2, which is near approximation to the
number reported by the Auditor.
Now for the voting in 1860, when the cen.
sus was taken showing these results Ohio
voted 4i2 al, Pennsylvania 47G,442, en-
lucky about lac, 900. We have not the full
vote of Ohio aud Pennsylvania at the late
elections but from those reported, the re-
turns will foot up about fth greater than
the vote Of 1860, and nearly up 70 the whole
number of white males over twentyone, not
withstanding the soldiers who are absent, aud
the allowance that must be made for those
not naturalized, or who are sick or absent
from home or without the residence in their
districts the time required. We should like,
as matter of curiosity, to know how many
votes these States can poll-lhe Republicans
could get up any number to order perhaps
The other side ought to learn the art for it is
important in elections We don't charge
frauds; only miracles The widows cruise of
oil produced wonderfully, and why should not
Republican votes be multiplied tho same
way2 The more soldiers they send TO the
field the more votes they can poll The more
taken away, the more there is left These
Republicans have changed the Constitution,
upset dictionaries, and now they change the
arithmedcs. Kentucky poled only a little
over eighty thousand votes at the "fairest
election ever held-little over half that she
polled in lS60-whilst these neighboring
States, after all they have sent to the war,
poll twenty per cent. more. Cant some one
multiply our vote to two hundred thousand,
so as to keep pace with these loyal people2
What pity these Republicans cant multiply
soldiers as they do voters We should then
have no more need of volunteering or draft
ing When draft is ordered, we trust the
Government will look at these votes, and re-
gard the rneager vote of this State, until we
can learn this Republican art of multiplying
voters. What was gained in Kentucky by
| snppressing the vote on one side was accom-
plished by multiplying the votes on the other
elsewhere. The latter is the better plan. 1t
has better appearance. 1t looks like free
election-very free.-LOuiSUHle Democrat
